ms-The vote in Baltimore county, as will

M@rThe vote in Baltimore county, as will be
seen by the table published elsewhere, was unusu-
ally light on Tuesday, resulting, as we stated last
week. from an almost utter lack of interest lex
cept in some districts) among the voters of both
parties There was special effort made to get
the vote out and hundreds of Republicans and
Democrats remained away from the polls, feeling
that it was only waste of time to go. This was
more particularly the case with Republicans, who,
for various reasons, felt no interest whatever in
Il the contest Dr. Shaws majority fell off considera
bly, from what it at the previous election, owing
to the general apathy, as we'll as the further fact
that many of Mr.. Talbott's friends had not yet
recovered from the wounds inflicted in the contest
for the nomination. The Prohibition vote was
increased considerably, but not enough to make
any appreciate difference in the result. At some
of the voting places in the county Republican
tickets were so scarce that voters almost had to
beg for them, and in some instances Democrats
supplied their Republican friends with them. The
election was very quiet throughout the county, no
serious breaches of the peace having occurred
anywhere. The law to prohibit the sale Of liquor
on election days is pretty strictly enforced in this
county, and to this fact no doubt is largely due
the good order which prevailed generally.

NS- The bill of compliant filed in the Balti-
more City Circuit Court by VIM. NJ. Busey, Esq,
attorney for Ernault Il. Williams, to set aside
deed of trust made by the complainant and his
wife to the Safe Deposit and Trust Company, has
been dismissed by the court. The deed to the
Safe Deposit Company was made in February,
1885, and up to September Both, 1885, when the
company filed its answer to this bill, the income
of the estate amounted to S6,211, out of which it
had paid Ernault $3,912.22, and to his wife, for
herself and child, s5O5. Ernault Williams is
son of Hon George Hawkins Williams, of Balti-
more county, and his wife was Elizabeth M. Haz-
lit. 1t is now said that Theophilus B. Horwitz,
ESQ.,, will file another bill to have this same deed
from Williams to the Safe Deposit Company
set aside unless the bill dismissed by the court is
reipstated.

@-A bright and intelligent young lady, who
spent the past summer in Europe, (ani which, by
the way was her first visit to foreign ands,) kindly
offered to furnish The UNION with an account of
her tour, and we this week publish the first of he
series of letters, this being her first attempt at
writing for a newspaper. In a note accompany.
ing her initial letter she says az have made no
attempt at anything fine. have simply described
what saw and recorded my impressions very
much as would have done in letter to friend,
written from the points referred to at the time of
my visiting them. Travel is such every day
and easy thing in these latter times, and letters of
travel are so common, and often so common place,
(just as mine are) that to amount to anything in
the way of newspaper contributions they should
be the outcome of journeyings in unusual routes
and contain the unique and striking comments of
unusual minds. As neither my travel nor my
mind comes into either of these categories, am
content to recall my experiences in this quiet
way" &c. We know that these letters will prove
interesting to our readers and we ask for them
careful perusal.

Almost universal satisfaction is expressed
at the defeat of Henry George, the candidate for
mayor of New York who represented the Socialist,
He received about 81, 900 votes to $4,000 for Mr..
Roosevelt, the regular Republican nominee, while
the majority for Hon. A. S. Hewitt, the Democratic
numinr-, Is something IKE zv,vuo. 1t would have
been an unfortunate thing for the country if
George had been elected, but the very large vote
he received is well calculated to make people open
their eyes. In himself Mr.. George is not bad
man, but some of the elements which he represen-
ted are dangerous to the peace of this country
and his success would doubtless have been the
forerunner of trouble

TUESDAYS ELECTIONS.

Thirty-five States of the Union voted on Tues
day and the result in many of them appears to be
a surprise to both of the great parties. In some
of the States the Republicans made the most ex-
traordinary and surprising gains and their repre-
sentation in the next Congress will far exceed that
of the present House. In Illinois they gain four
Congressman in Indiana three; in Ohio five;
in New York two; in New Jersey one; in North
Carolina two /; in Iowa one; in Michigan two, and
in Virginia they elect six Congressman, the Dem
ocrats three and the Labor party one, which is
net gain of four for the Republicans and loss OF
five for tho Demoerats.- In -West Virginia tho
Republicans have probably also gained Con-
gresham The Democrats gain one Congressman
each in Pennsylvania, Connecticut, Nebraska,
Tennessee and South Carolina; three in Massa-
chusetts and three in Minnesota. The net Repub-
lican gain is placed at SIXTEEN although it will no
doubt be even larger.
But the most surprising of all is the defeat of
Hon. VIM. R. Morrison, the great Illinois tariff
reformer, and the possible defeat of Hon. John q.
Carlisle, of Kentucky, Speaker OF the present
House of Representatives, by an independent
Labor candidate. The vote in Mr.. Carlisle's dis
trict is so close that it will require the official
count to decide who is elected. His majority two
years ago ran up into the thousands and this won-
derful change has almost dumbfounded his friends.
The Legislatures of Indiana and New Jersey
are very close and are claimed by both parties,
with chances in favor of the Republicans.
The Democratic candidate for Supreme Court
Judge of New York State is elected by about 5000
majority. California undoubtedly elects Repub-
lican Governor and they have possibly carried all
of the six Congre, siona districts and the Legis-
lature. Ames, Republican candidate for Governor
of Massachusetts, is elected by about 5000 plural
ity.
In Maryland the Democrats hold their own,
having carried five out of the six Congressional
districts. Two years ago Mr. McComas, Repub-
Iican, carried the Sixth district by about l,6OO
majority. This year he pulls through on major
ity of less than $780, which, considering all the
circumstances, is regarded as a big victory for
him.
The next House of Representatives will be very
close but the Democrats will have a small major
ity. 1t would require net gain of twenty three
to give the Republicans majority and they will
fall short of this number from four to seven votes

@-A terrible accident happened on the Chica-
go, Milwaukee and St. Paul railroad, twelve miles
east of Portage, " isconsin, on Thursday night of
last week. freight train had gone on q siding
to allow an express to pass. The conductor of
the freight forgot to close the switch behind his
train and when the express came along, running
at forty five miles an hour, it left the main track
and dashed into the rear of the freight train
Some of the passenger coaches were telescoped
and eighteen persons in one of them were burned
to death. The accident was one of the most
frightful that has occurred in this country for
long time and was the result of criminal careless
neas on the part of the freight conductor, who has
since become ravng maniac.
