HAGERSTOWN, Nd, November 5-There
was general roundup of the political cam
paign In this county on Saturday night. the
democrats holding meetings at Funkstown,
Sharp3burg and Williamsport, the republi-
cans at Boonsboro', and the populists at
Hagerstown. While the democrats and re-
publicans express themselves as greatly
pleased with the results, 1t must be admit
ted that within the past ten days differ
emit aspect to that heretofore existing has
been placed upon the political situation. At
the start 1t seemed that the republicans
would have almost a walkover owing to
the great apathy among the democrats. The
visit Of Williams, the democratic nominee
for Congress. to this county dispelled this,
however. The leaders went to work, took
hold of the rank and file. applying the lash
where needed. and in the other instance
making stirring party appeals with telling
effect.
The republicans are jubilant, however, as
well as defiant, conceding nothing and
claiming 200 majority in this county as the
lowest figure They go as high as 300. and
some OF the more Jealous are backing the
latter freely with bets of to /. They are
placing great stress upon the populist voteS
which. they claim. will add strength to
their column by drawing heavily from the
democrats. They doubtless will gain by
this, but not to the extent claimed
Col. Buchanan Schley, surveyor Of the
port of Baltimore and heretofore the recog

Washington county, is conservative in his
views and says that as the county is
naturally democratic, Williams should carry
1t by $50 majority, If the vest-pocket voters
and the disSatisfied laborers are not against
him.
Chas. w. Adams, late doorkeeper of the
House Of Representatives, a shrewd poll
tician and close observer, on the other
hand. gives Wellington the $50 majority and
the election in the congressional district by
less than 300, figure way undI that
claimed by Mr.. Wellington himself and
other enthusiastic republicans.

FREDERICK. Nd, November b.-The
political outlook in the sixth district Of
paign is such as to indicate prospects of re-
publican success at the polls tomorrow. At
the beginning of the campaign there was
peculiar apathy in the democratic ranks all
over the district. that continued to within
the past ten days, when very active and
united work was done in the way Of cam
paign meetings and the distribution Of par
ty literature among voters. On the other
hand, the republicans have been conducting
an active campaign from the start and in
every county in the district have been
thoroughly united. except in Allegany,
where some disaffection has existed; but
not sufficient, 1t is thought, to seriously
affect the result. The most careful esti-
mates of the outcome of tomorrows voting
give majority for Wellington in the dis
trict of 40 the vote of the five counties
