Judge ClaytOn's Victory - Cecil Went
Dry--Baltinore Congressional Fight.
BALTIMORE, Mp, Nov. THE fact
that the Republicans will have the con-
troll Of the next House of Representa-
tives will cause contest in three Con-
gressional districts in Maryland.
The Republican State Committee au-
thoriZes the statement that the Repub-
lican candidates will contest the election
of Joshua w. Miles to the Fifty-fpurth
Congress from the First district; the
election of ii. w. Rusk from the Third
district, and the election of John X.
Cowen from the Fourth district.
These elections will all be contested
on the ground that ''repeaters" were
voted by the Democrats, and that other
frauds were praeticed in all the districts
named.
Chairman Clabaugh, of the Republic
can State Committee, received tele-
gram this morning from Mr.. Abraham
Lincoln Dryden, Republican candidate
for the Fifty-fourth Congress from the
First district, in which Mr.. DRYDEN
states that the election of Mr.. Miles was
carried by fraud, bribery and corrup-
tion," and that he will contest it. Mr..
Dryden is the gentleman whom Secre-
tary Carlisle recently bounced out of
Office of shipping commissioner here.
One of the peculiar things about the
election in this State yesterday is the
fact that the Democratic counties which
have secured the largest share of the
Federal offices have gone Republican.
Carroll county, which has the col
lector Of customs, the best office in the
state, the special deputy collector and
large number OF minor offices, went Re-
publican for the first time since 1866,
and Hartford county, which has the col
lector OF internal revenue and more
minor places than any other county in
the State, in spite of the usual large
Democratic majority, went Republican.
Senator Gibson's county, Talbot,
which has Is men in good Federal
offices, also went Republican, and other
counties with large numbers of offices
to their credit, went Republican or
showed large falling off in the Demo-
crauc vote.

ELKToN, Nd, Nov. THE result of
the vote against license Yesterday is the
talk of Cecil county. While the anti
license people fully expected to carry
the county, they did not expect the big
majority that they received. Only tive
districts in the county went in favor OF
license, the second and seventh, and
both by reduced majorities. The ma
jority against license in the county i!
626. -Four years ago license carried tht
county by 1853 majority. That Mr.. Bake
succeed in carrying the county is also
great surprise. While 1t was though
that Talbot would be cut to some ex
tent, it was not thought that he would
lose the county. The vote polled i
small compared with the registration
Over 800 votes in this THE third) dis
trict were not polled, and over 200 il
the second. Cleveland carried Cecil TIVE
years ago by Goo majority.
