Large Democratic Gains Give Davis

PRovIDENcE, April 4.-It was not Re
publican against Democrat in the stats
election 50 much as the question Of che
resubmission Of the amendment to the
constitution prohibiting the manufacture
and sale OF Intoxicating liquors which
disreputed the Republican party aud
came near placing Honest" John Davis
in the governors chair for another term.
The Republicans had thoroughly re-
spectacle ticket, free from the odor of
iobbeas or deals, and the Democrats had
their ticket of last yeur again ia the
field. Only one of the Republican nomi-
nees was 8 pronounced advocate Of the
pr0hibitory law as it stands, Attorney
General Rogers. who during the past
year has prosecuted liquor dealers with
out fear or favor. The measure looking
to the repeal OF the law had been passed
BY Republican voters, and the present
ticket, with this exception, meant resub
mission.
These facts were sufficient to swell the
ranks Of the fourth party with temper
ance Republicans as well as number Of
malcontents. But even with their help
the Democracy was not quite able 70
grasp the helm of state. Unpopular
nominations on the Republican ticket In
this city helped Ex-Governor Davis
friends, with the result Of turning over
the city representation TO the Democracy.
and the large registration under the
seventh amendment did not make 80 big
a showing as was looked for.
The vote all through the state Is badly
mixed and the exact result is yet unde-
termined. It is certain. however, that
there Is no election by the people.

BALTIMORE, April 4.--The Democratic
state central committee met here. They
adopted resolutions contrasting the in
equali ties Of the increase in white and
colored registration and argue that there
must be something wrong about the
number of col0red voters in the state
The chairman was authorized to issue an
address to the people Of Maryland.
Sept. next was fixed for the date for
the state convention.
Stevenson Archer, chairman Of the
committee, commenting upon the race
question, which Is now the cause Of SO
much solicitude in the south said: The
issue has already been made BY the Re-
publicans and is nothing more or less
than the Hoar bill In the United States
senate, which seeks to control elections
for congressman and Legislators In all the
states and Is especially aimed at the
southern states. The question viii be
regarded as one Of race domination. Our
reverses last year in Maryland were
owing TO the large increased c0l0red vote
which at the last registration wasswelled
per cent, while the Democratic vote
increased one-fourth Of per cent. OF
the 80 900 Republican votes last year,
three-fouffIs were negroes. The ques~
ton Of race domination is already pre-
aenfed by the Hoar resolutions and IL
this issue Is forced upon Maryland the
