Special Dfsp7ch.
BALTIMORE, Oct. with almost every
hour the democratic situation in Maryland
becomes more and moro complicated, and in
dications point more strongly than ever to an
overthrow of the bosses at tho general cleo
tion, cvon though their power at the prima-
raics is invincible. Tho dissatisfaction in this
cityat tho leadership of tho old, corrupt man
ayers Is becoming greater ovcry day, and in
tao counties it is growing. Should the cleo
ton take place tomorrow the republicans
would III doubtcdly carry the state; IL the
present dislntegration goes on i'll the ranks OF
the democracy tho republicans will have
an enormous majority. Mr. McLane has been
stumping tho state for week past, ac-
Companied by the other candidates. and some
of tho leaders. Ills reception has boon cold
and spirtless. lie has failed TO awaken any
enthusiasm, even in strongly democratic coun-
ties, and has been almost openly appealing TO
the negroes for their votes.
Marshal of Police Gray, of this city, who
defended tho democratic primaries by declar-
ing that the charges of fraud made against
them by the democratic newspapers was AN
infamous lie" appeared in new role to-day.
In his defense of the primaries the marshal
said his orders to the police force were plain
and positive to arrest all men detected in
committing fraud, and to carefully scrutinze
the conduct of the election ut all the polls.
The only arrest made was that of William
Hamilton, one of tho judges in the seventh
precinct of the first ward, which was one OF
the most fraudulent districts. Officers Hudson
and Kcissling, arrested Hamilton while he
was endcavorinG, as they thought, to stun
the ballot box. Hamilton at hearing yes.
terday was discharged the officers being uu.
able to swear positively to the act Of fraud
To-day Marshal Gray had these two men
the only officers in the whole city who made
any visible effort to check the outrageous
frauds, in accordance with his seemingly sin
cere orders-arraigned before the police board
and charged them with having arrested the
man, and being unable to substantiate theii
charge. A conviction would have meant dis
missal from the force. The officers were sus'
tanned and exonerated, aud the politician!
are much chargrincd at the result.
