Twas II famous Republican victory in
Maryland Not only have three Congress-
men been elected outright but the Republican
vote reached a ma iority of 2470 representing
"A net gain Of 25,669 If this vote can be
maintained next year, and the party presents
an equally united front. Narvland's next
Legislature will be Republican, and also the
State officers
The E"pubicans carried Allegany, Anne
Arundel, Calvert, Caroline Cecil. Charles.
Dorchester, Frederick, Garrett Hartford
Kent. Prince Georges, st. Mary's, Talbot and
Washington, and the Third Legislative dis
trict OF Baltimore city, while the Democrats
carried only the seven remaining counties
and two Legislative districts in Baltimore
and these by either small or very much
reduced pluraiities.
One Of the peculiar things about the cleo
ton in this State is the fact that the Demo-
cratic counties which have secured the largest
share Of the Federal officers have gone Re-
publican.
Carroll county. which has the Collector Of
CUSTOMS, the best office in the state: the
OF minor Offices went Republican for the first
time since 1866, and Hartford county, which
has the Collector of Internal Revenue and
more minor places than any other county in
the State, i'll spite of the usual large Demo-
cratic majority, went Republican for Baker.
| Senator Gibson's county, Talbot. which
has lS men in good Federal Offices, also went
Republican, and other counties with large
numbers of officers to their credit went Re
publican, or showed II large falling off in the
Democratic vote.
1t is noticeable also that the precinct in
Howard county in which Senator German
resides and votes gave Republican majority
for the first time in quarter of a century.
