BALTIMORE, Nov. 3.-The election

ing majority for the regular Democratic
ticket in this city. Returns are not all in

date is elected. State returns are coming
in very slowly, but indications point to
Democratic SUCCESS in nearly all of the
counties, which insurcs a working major
ity in both branches of the state lcgisla-
ture.
Full returns show the election of the
entire Democratic ticket, by maiorities
averaging over 10000. A full dolega-
