The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1889-08-17


supports the revenue laws through
which the country has achieved such
remarkable success. 1t is recognized
on every hand that the Democratic
ranks have weakened, not only in
this city, but throughout the entire
State. A large portion of the Demo-
cratic party here have reyolted and
will throw the city and State in the
hands of the Republicans. These are
facts which no intelligent person who
takes an interest in politics can shut
his eyes to.

Republican there can hardly be

carry Cecil and Carroll, both of which
only gave Mr.. Cleveland at the last
election less than 100 majority. 1t
is likely that the majority of the tenn

their candidates, as then the House
would stand 55 Republicans ad So
Democrats.
The Senators holding oyer are Is,
9 Democrats and Republicans. AT
the coming election the Republicans
are hopeful of carrying Allegany,
Caroline, Cecil, Charles, Dorchester,
Garrett, Prince Georges. st. Mary's
and Talbot. in all while the DEM
ocrats will elect in the End Legisla-
tive district of Baltimore City. Har-

the Legislature on joint ballot will
be as follows:

There is also a probability of the
Republicans electing their Senators
in Hartford and Montgomery counties
