WASHINGTON. Nov. 1o.-Durina the stirring
excitement attending the elections in tho most
sharply contested States. In Maryland the peo-
pie were called upon to review and to pro-
nounce judgment upon the conduct and ser
vices Of Senator German.
Great rs was the expectation OF friends and
admirers In Maryland. and indeed all over the
Union. as to the character OF the popular YER
dict, the results OF the test at the polls were In
every sense most gratifying. They were an
exceptional but well-deserved compliment to
the Senator.
From the beginning TO the end OF the can
vass the earnest desire Of tho party was to be-
stow the highest possible honor on the object
OF It's esteem and affection. and to mako his
name the supreme issue OF the campaign. as
representing the true principles OF Democracy.
Tho Democratic State Convention met In
Baltimore on July 30 and passed the follow
ing resolution:
Reo'red That the Hon. Arthur r. German d entitled
to the thanks Of tho people OF his state Of the
Union for his distinguished services in the Of
the United States the chosen leader OF the Demo
cratic Senators in their proraeied and finally
full struggle against the revolutionary and odlous
ball. and that BY his ceaseiess vigilance. dauntlsss
courage and tact and ability In the management
Of that most memorable and momentous contest, he
has worthily earned renewal Of his commission a.
United States Senator.
That In recognition Of the fidelity and capacity with
which he has served the people OF Maryland the
tho whoie country IN his high place. and In order
for continuance In the counsels OF the na
ton of the bcnent OF his ENLARGED experience sound
Judgment, and commanding influence this invention,
voicng the unanimous sentiment Of the Democracy Of
all sections Of the state. do nominate him BY 40
clamaton for reelection to the Senate and the
sanxed Of the Democratic party IN this
State do earnestly call upon the Democratic member
Of the next General Assembly to give him their
unanimous. enthuaiastic. and unwavering support.
This action was remarkable departure from
accepted usage. In presenting tho Senator as
the central and commanding figure OF the con-
test and making his reelection to the Senate
the test Of his pers and political popular
ity. The Convention made no mistake in this
expression OF its confidence. nor in the choice
Of ticket in sympathy with that sentiment
The figures Of the election are full Of signifi-
canoe and instruction.
In 1888 Cleveland had a majority over Blaine

President
The Legislature consists Of lit members.
House The Democratic majority in the re-
firing Legislature is thirty.nine.
The now Legislature has 103 Democrats.
eleven Republicans. and three Fusio nists.
Four Of the Republicans are hold over Sena-
tors Hence they elected only seven members
Of the Legislature. The Democratic majority
on joint ballot will be eighty-nine over all.
or fifty more than In the Legislature which Is
to 60 out.
There are twenty-four counties In the State.
and German carried twenty-five Of them. leav-
ing Allegany and Garrett as the share Of the
Republicans
Ambitious and disappointed politicians call
ing themselves Democrats better to promote
their selfish designs. led by high officials OF
the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad. have for
years made bitter war on the Senator. because
he stood in the way OF their preierment. They
shout loudly for Cleveland and make bargains
with Republicans. as tho ex- Presidents friends
did last year in q desperate effort to defeat the
regular and excellent Democratic ticket In
New York.
This discreditable game was repeated at the
recent election in Baltimore. and was crushed
out by a great majority
Tho St Louis Globe Democrat issued q warn
ing to the Senator before the election In the fol.
lowing concise terms:
e It won't do for Boss German to carry Mary
tnnd by beggarly 5000 or 10. 900 majority. He
must secure lead OF at least 10000 in order
to gain any standing as an aspirunt for the
Presidential nomination"
Well. he had more than $1,000 majority.
No public man has evor received from his
State grander testimonial Of trust and de-
yotion than that voluntarily offered to Arthur
Pue German In this magnificent vote. He
earned that proud distinction BY service
which saved the Union from the gravest peril.
and put the Democracy on an eminence from
which 1t cannot be cast down. II prudence shall
direct the action Of the new House Of Repre-
SentatiYeH.
