Baltimore.

BALTIMORE, November 3.-The election
in Maryland to-day is for Comptroller of
the State, Clerk OF the Court OF Appeals,
all the members of the House OF Dele
gates and nineteen members of the Sem
pate; in the city of Baltimore, clerks of
the courts, and throughout the State coun-
ty officers will be chosen. The election is
proceeding very quietly, and thus far no
more excitement is manifested than at the
mayoralty election last week. The con-
test is between the friends and enemies
of Senator German.
A difficulty occurred this afternoon in
the Fourth Ward, in which John Hebrew,
colored, was shot through the body, and
there is but little prospect of his reeov-
cry. He solicited another colored man to
| vote the Democratic ticket, when he was
assaulted by others Of his race, and
| not been arrested.
Midnight.-The election pa sed off quiet
ly and resulted in a sweeping victory for
| the regular Democratic ticket in this city.
| The returns are not all in at midnight, as
| the length OF the ticket necessitates a slow
count. As far as heard from not single
| Fusionist candidate is eIC"ted. The State
returns are coming in yer, slowly; but
| the indications point to Democratic sue
cess in nearly all of the counties, which
| insures a working majority in both
branches of the State Legislature.
| AS a.m.-Partial returns to this hour
from all sections of the State indicate con-
| siderable gains throughout the Eastern
section, while Western Maryland, always
Republican, is about holding the regular
vote. The Democratic majority on the State
ticket is estimated now at $4,000 to 5000.

RICHMOND, November S.-Tbe weather
is clear and cool. The election 3 progress
ing quietly, although both parties are
working hard. At o'clock humber OF
precincts in the city had polled over three
four; his of the registered votes. At several
precincts where the colored vote prepon-
derates, long lines ot voters are patiently
awaiting theiTr turn, 1t is probable that
when the sun goes down many will have
failed to deposit their ballots. Reports
from other parta of the State indicate the
polling OF a full vote. At is generally be-
iieved here that the aggregate vote of the
State will greatly surpsss that of last No
vember. Associated Press reports from
here will be made up from special tele-
grams from every accessible point, and a
comparison of the gains and losses will be
made with the last election, when Cleve-
lands majority was S14l. There are over
1900 voting precincts in the State, and the
Republicans will have to average a gain OF
hve inseach precinct to overcome that ma
joIity.

ILLINOIS.


CHICAGO, November 3.-The election in
this city and county to-day is for a justice
of the Supreme Court of Illinois to fill the
vacancy caused by the death of Justice T.
Lyle Dickey; a judge of the Superior
Court of Cook county. The Republicans
nominated Benjamin d. Msgruder for the
Supreme Court, and the Democrats have
concurred in this nomination. The Re-
publieans present Gwynn Garnett for Su-
perior Court judge, and the Democrats
VIM. ]. Hynes. Both parties have pre-
sentod their own candidates for commits
sioners, and owing to the failure of por-
ton OF the Republican press to support all
Of the Republican nominees a split
ticket" has been printed and is being Of
fered to voters to-day, containing the
names of a portion of the nominees of
each party. The contest over the election
of county commissioners is provoked by
the condition of the county finances and
the declaration that the present manage
ment has been reckless and extravagant.
The chief contest to-day, however, is over
the adoption or rejection of the new
election law framed at the last session of
the Illinois Legislature. The new law
provides for small voting precincts, and is
framed very closely after the New York
law. The Republicans and Independent
movement favor the new law, while the
Democrats are opposing its adoption. The
weather is clear and cold this morning,
and there is the promise OF full average
vote.
Night.-Appearances at the different
places here to-day indicated that the vote
would be lighter than usual. AS yet no
official returns have been received. The
best information to be had from various
sources leads to the impression that the

a late hour the receipt of adequate returns
upon which to base conclusion as to the
result.
9:35 p.m.-From the returns thus far
| received, the Inter Ocean figures that the
city election law is undoubtedly carried.
Other authorities are not 30 certain. 1t
looks as though the Democrats are gaining
| ground where county commissioners are
| concerned. The returns are now about
half received.

of the Democrats, received very light

ular interest here is almost entirely Gen.
tered in the fate of the new election law

Fifty-seven precincts give 5S79 votes fol

PhiIadelphfa.

PHILADELPHIA, November 3.-A hasty
review OF the voting throughout the city
this morning shows that the polling is
fully up to the average and that less
scratching is being done than was ex-
pected. The Republican State ticket is
generally receiving the full vote of the
party, and there is no doubt from present
indications that Quay, Republican, for
State Treasurer, will receive at least 10,-
900 majority in the city. There is some
scratching of Rowan, Republican, for
sheriff. The election of the rest of the
Republican city ticket is conceded.
Night.-The election to-day passed off
very quietly. The weather was clear and
cold, with gusty wind blowing. The
only State Office to be filled was that of
State Treasurer. Matthew Stanley Quay
was the Republican, and Conrad B. Day
a ne Democratic candidate. Barr Spangler
ran on the Prohibition ticket and VIM. D.
Whitney as the Greenback-Labor nomi-
nee. Last year Blaine had plurality OF
81, 900, and in 1888, when the last State
Treasurer was elected, Atchison, the Re-
publican candidate, had ajority of 90
OIL. Comparisons tonight will be made
with the vote of 1888. The interest in the
Philadelphia county election centered on
/ the contest for sheriff, W. Ellwood Rowan
!. being the Republican, and Dallas Sanders
the Democratic candidate. Rowan was
opposed by the Citizens Committee OF
One Hundred-which has been so promi-
nent in local elections for some years past
ON the ground that he was representa-
/. tive of machine politics. Rowan, in
1876, was defeated for sheriff by Wright,
Democrat, by 1884 votes, although the
| Hayes electors on the same day received
15 900 majority.
1t is estimated that Pennsylvania will
| give Republican majority between %, 600
and 30,00J.
Twenty-Five counties in the State, out
side of Philadelphia, show net Republi-
can gain of 1915. In the city, fourteen
wards out of thiriy-one give Quay, for
State Treasurer, 1928 majority, a Demo
cratic gain of 1868. Quay will probably
| have majority of about 1900 in .the city
| and about %, 600 or $4,000 in the State.
Forty out of the 81 counties in this State
| indicate Republican majority of over
l 30 000.

HUFTALo, November 3.-Shortly before
o'clock this morning President Cleveland
walked to the polling place of the First
District of the Eighth ward and cast his
ballot for the straight Democratic ticket.
He remained there few minutes, chatting
with old acquaintances, and then returned
to his former law office. He will proba-
bly, leave at o'clock this evening for
Washington.
Sixty districts of Buffalo city give
Davenport S943, Hill 7739, a Republic
an gain over last year of s54. This
indicates Republican ma jority of 260O in
the city. The Republican vote falls off 2
per cent, the Democratic II per cent. The
Democrats concede Erie county by 1900
majority. The Republican committee es-
innate majority Of 1000 for Davenport.
Last year Blaine had plurality of 1890.
Reports are coming in fairly, but are
still incomplete. The cutting of tickets
has been larger than in any previous year.
Rissell, Democrat, for Senator, in many OF
the wards runs ahead of his ticket enough,
it is believed, to insure his election by q
small majority. The Assembly returns
are as yet very incomplete, but they indi-
cate that the political complexion will be
the same as last year, except in the Third
District, which is very close. The heads
| of the State ticket compare favorably with
the city, except some OF the German
wards, where Hill runs behind. Carr's
supporters gained many votes for him in
the city, especially in the Irish wards
Thirty-four districts of the city gave Dav.
| export, 1882; Carr, 1851; Hill, 1857
Jcnes, SS47. The country districts are
coming in slowly, but they show gains fol
Carr, while Hill holds his own.

ATTEMPTED SUICIDE
OF WeIl-Dressed Young Woman al
PfttsburR.

PITTsBURe, Pa, November 3.-A well.
dressed young woman attempted to com.
NIT suicide at the Monongahela Hotel al
9 o'clock this evening by taking laudanum
She came to the hotel several days age
and represented that she was daughter Of
Judge Curtis of New York, and that she
was in search of sister, fifteen years oi
age, who ran away from home three weeks
ago and had been traced to Pittsburg. She
also said she had a brother living in Har.
risburg, who would be in the city in few
days. The hotel people were satisfied with
her story, but as she positively refused to
send for detective to assist her in hel
search they finally notified the police, and
after an investigation the latter decided
that she was fraud. Tonight Detective
O'Mara went to the hotel for the purpose
of arresting her, and suspecting his object
she made pretense of wanting a drink o.
water, and stepping into another room
she swallowed half an ounce of lauda
| mum. The detective suspecting hel
followed into the room. but it was too late
to prevent her from taking the laudanum
Medical aid was quickly summoned, ant
with prompt measures she was soon ou
of danger. 1t is not yet ascertained wha
her right name is, or where she came
from, although there seems to be goot
story back of it.

The Democrats of Virginia have triumph
ed. Glory enough for one day. Malone
is thus defeated, and the old mother OF
States is released from the control OF the
bastard Readjuster party. Lee is to be
Governor, and the Legislature is Demo
cratic, and will elect successor to Malone,
whose time expires on the 4th of March
next. Herein is whole chapter of go ID
things on which Democrats everywhere
can felicitate themselves. John Sher
mans speech on protection failed utterly
The Virginians have a better idea of what
Marshall and Jefferson and Madison ant
Monroe intended to accomplish in theil
interpretations of the constitution
than he seems to have. The Demo
cratic victory says 50. They are
most of them, farmers, and don't wan
to rob themselves to support Eastern
manufacturers, and they believe the States
have some rights left, and that the fathers
never intended that the Federal govern
ment should become a centralized despot
ism. His speech was a dead, damned
failure.

THE. country press are very much in
csnsed against Memphis because a num-
ber of our citizens recommended Browns
vile as an alternative point to the COM
missioners for the location of an insane
asylum in West Tennessee. They say
they can understand why Memphis
should push her own claims, but
cannot see why she should be-
come the advocate of any other
point against all others as sites for the
proposed asylum. This is good sense.
Our friends in the country ought to be
more discriminating than they appear to
be. Memphis is.not responsible for the
action of a few of her citizens. AS a city
she stands squarely on her merits, and the
great body of her people are too anxious
for her success to interfere with Others
Memphis as city has nothing to dc
with the petition for Brownsville and
ought not to be held responsible for it.
This is the place for the asylum, DO the
people of Memphis believe, and so believ-
ing they have nothing to say for or against
any other place.

NEBRASKA

OMAHA, November 3.-The election
throughout the State is proceeding quietly,
and q light vote will be cast. The only
State officers voted for are Judge of the
Supreme Court and two regents of the
university. All the counties will elect full
sets of county officers.
The election in this State to-day was of
no special importance and passed off very
quietly. The multiplicity of local tickets
brought out good vote. The State Off
GERS voted for are: Judge of the Supreme
Court and two regents Of the University.
Returns will come in slowly as some coun-
ties have five local tickets and none less
than three. 1t is not probable any def
mite information will be received tonight,
though it may be taken for granted that
the Republican State ticket is elected. In
this city there was much scratching, and
the count will be slow. The Republicans
will probably lose their candidate for
Treasurer.

PRESIDENT JOHNSON.
A Peculiar Incident which Was a Long
Time Coming TO the Surface

CLEVELAND, O., November 3.-To-day
Col. Howard, well known in this city and
colonel in the late war, gave the re-
porter an incident of peculiar interest
''In 1885," he said, "when President An

"Judge Key sprang to his feet, and fac

DEs MONIES, November 3.-The day
opened pleasant, with the weather clear
and cold. Voting is proceeding very qui-
etly, with every prospect OF an unusually
large poll. Iowa votes for Governor,
Lieutenant Governor, Judge Of the Su-
preme Court and Superintendent of Eiu.
cation. One half of the Senators and all
OF the lower House are to be elected TO-
day. There are four State tickets in the
field. The Republican ticket is headed by
William Larrabee, a farmer and banker, o!
Fayette county. The fusion ticket, repre-
senting, Democrats and Greenbackers, is
headed by Chas. E. Whiting. farmer and
cattle raiser, of Monona county. The
straightout, or st. John, Prohibitionists
have nominated full State ticket, headed
by James Mickelwait of Mills county
The straight Greenbackers opposed to
fusion have also complete State ticket
headed by Elias Doty OF Linn county,
The chief State issue involved is the re.
peal or further trial of prohibition. Ths
fusion platform demands the repeal of the
prohibition and the substitution of q gen.
eral license law. The Republican plat
form asks for fair trial of the prohibitory
law before anv modification in it was
made. Hhe Senators electea this year viii

Iowa and Massachusetts went Repub'
lican yesterday. They elected the tickets
put out by that party for Governors and
other State officers and Legislatures. The
Republicans Of Pennsylvania also elected
their candidate for State Treasurer, Mr..
QUAY, notorious rinGster and boss poll
tician, who defeated Mr.. Day, one OF the
most upright and honorable men in the
State, a man who was indorsed by many
leading Republicans who refused to vote for
Quay. But the railroads were for the latter
and marshaled all their strength for him.
The Republicans also carried Connecticut,
where they elected a safe majority to both
houses of the Legislature. The Maryland
Democrats elected some minor State Oh
tisers. In Chicago the new city election
law was carried at the polls and Gwynne
Garnett was elected Judge OF the Illinois
