WEST VIRGINIA. - Notwithstanding
the confident expectations of Republicans,
West Virginia will not break the solid
south this year. The disappointing returns
came from Republican counties, especially
Kanawha county, where the force bill
ghost and mixed schools apportionment
swayed the voters.
The Republicans of the state are stunned
by the slump" and cannot account for it.
Davis, for governor, runs ahead of Harri-
son, but is too far behind Mace Cordle dem. J
to pull through The latter will have from
1,500 to 1000 plurality. Republicans will
control the house of delegates, but the leg
islature will have a Democratic majority of
10 on joint ballot, which insures the re-
election of Senator Faulkner 1t will be
some time before definite figures can be OBJ
tanned.
MARYLAND.-There was only one dis
trict in doubt in Maryland-the Sixth dis

the sitting member. The district was car
ried last election by McKaig by less than
200 in a total vote of nearly $4,000. Latest

gressmen in every district the only close
vote being in the Seventh district, which
will require an official count Cleveland s

presidential electors, one congressman and
a legislature to choose a successor to

ing in slowly, but it is probable that the
whole Democratic ticket has been elected
by small majority.

broke down the guard lines and undertook
to take charge of the polls, but they were
repulsed. Money was freely used in buy
ing votes and keeping voters away from
the polls.
