Special Dispatch TO The Evening Star.
BALTIMORE. Nd, Nov. 4-The democrats
have swept the state and city by msjorities
away ahead Of ail predictions or the most san
guine expectations Of the party leaders. The
combined republican and independent opposi-
ton in the city has been utterly over
whelmed and the republicans have only
carried two counties in the state, Ale
gany and Garrett Frank Brown gets q
plurality of 17,S5S in the city and 80 600 in the
state for governor, more than twice as much as
any candidate for governor has received since
the election OF Gov. Bowie in 1868, Just before
the enfrarchisement of the negroes.
His plurality in the city alone is several
thousand more than any other candidate has
received in that time. He runs far ahead Of his
ticket everywhere, showing his immense per-
sonai popularity and large accessions from the
republican vote.
OF the other candidates on the state ticket
Marion DeKalb Smith has "a plurality in the city
OF 1870 for controller, ]. Frank Ford Is. go
FOR clerk OF the court of appeals, and John P.
Poe Is, 4S9 for attorney general. Poe runs be-
hind in the city because OF the opposition
to him by short term fraternal and beneficial
orders against which he recently took decided
ground in the trial of a against one of them
here and they cut him for Sharp, the republi-
can candidate.
LATRoBEs MAJORITY SITS.
Latrobe is elected mayor for the sixth time
over Warfeld, the independent and republican
candidate. by majority of SIPS, more than
twice as much as he has ever received before.
Kerr, in spite Of the bitter opposition to him
from SO many sources, runs ahead of
Latrobe and is elected states attor-
ney over Marbury, Independents and re-
publican candidate, by a majority of
1886 Davidson's majority for mayor in 1899
nCt char a nnn
balance Of the city and legislative ticket is
elected by majorities ranging from / 1857 to
10, !40, none OF them reaching Frank Browns
high-water mark.
LEGISLATURE OVERWHELMINGLY DEMOCRATIC.
The legislature will be overwhelmingly demo-
cratic, with a majority on joint ballot of over
nfty, and will OF course re-elect Senator Cor
man and democratic: successor to the late
Judge Wilson. This is decisive gain, the
democratic majority on joint ballot IN the last
legislature being thirty-seven.
All the doubtful counties have gone demo-
cratic. Kent the home OF Vannort, the repub-
llcan candidate for governor. Talbot Dorches-
ter and Washington and Somerset and all
those which have usually been republican.
IN SOUTHERN MARYLAND.
In southern Maryland there has been a revo-
luton, every county giving big democratic
majority, electing Judge John P. Briscoe chief
judge Of the seventh judicial circuit over Col
L. Allison Wilmer, republican. and the legisia-
tive tickets in Charles, St. Mary's Prince
Georges, Calvert and Anne Arundel Wilmer
was defeated in his own county, Charles, by
400 majority.
State Senator Edward Stake, republican, is
probably elected associate judge of the fourth
judicial circuit over Judge Henry Kvd Doug
lass. Ex-Congressman Charles b. Roberts.
democratic candidate for associate judge in the
nth Judicial circuit, had no opposition.
THE BALTIMORE COUNCIL.
The democrats have elected thirty-one mem
bers Of the Baltimore city council out OF thirty
three. the only consolation for the repub-
licans being the reelection of Council
men Cummings and Supplee after a
hard fight Cummings is the negro
who was elected to the last council The
third legislative district, which cent solid re-
publican delegation to the last legislature has
been redeemed by the democrats. and ex-
United States District Attorney Thomas G.
Hayes will head the delegation as state senator.
The election has abundantiy demonstrated
two things: What perfect organization, such as
Gratis can carry the state outside Of Baltimore
city. thing which republicans have repeat
eddy declared they could not do
There is no doubt that Frank Browns great
popularity at the head of the ticket
helped the majoritieA all along the
organizations and a sore defeat for the
combined independent and republican oppo-
sition and apparently effectually settles
the fate OF such alliances in this city for all
time AS the first application of the Australian
ballot system in local election the law worked
very well. but the defects which were seen in
its operations in the congressional election last
year we're more apparent. yesterday, chiefly
the lack OF safeguards for the proper secrecy
in the preparation OF the ballots by the voter.
THE AMENDMENrs.
The fate of the six proposed constitutional
amendments cannot be yet known, but ma
jority Of them have probably been carried. In
the city the first amendment giving the gov
ernor the right to veto single item of an APP
preparation bill, and the second. affecting the
taxation OF corporations in the state, have been
adopted. The third, fourth, fifth and sixth
were defeated. The vote from the counties on
amendments il not yet in.
