QUEEN ANNE's COUNTY.
CENTREyIhLE, Nd, Nov. 6.-The
iu Democratic majority of 511, an ex-
cellent showing when the activity of
the Republicans is considered. The
Prohibition vote evidence no material
change. Mr.. 2. b. Hopper, a prominent
candidate before the Ocean City con-
yention for nomination to Congress,
represents the sentiments OF the county
in the following words:
The county is about up to the average
in oif-year Congressional elections, and
the majority is larger than conservative
opinions had predicted. If the election
had occurred few weeks earlier, before
the massmeetlng at Certreville, the vote
would have been much lighter. Queen
| Anne'sis very strongly in favor OF tariff
reform, and there was a spirit of dis
satisfaction with the candidates, because
at one time il was supposed that in
tluences inimical to tariff reform had
nominated them, but after Messrs. Miles
and Henry declared their adherence to
the Wilson bill, and their sympathy with
the administration, this dissatisfaction
disappeared. The vote is undeniably
short but in comparison with that OF
| 1890, when there was no dissatisfaction
or leaders, the shortage has been caused
by stay-at-home Democrats, many OF
whom doubtless absented themselves
from the polls because Of feeling Of
confidence in the success of the ticket
without them, and perhaps a few Others
who did not hear Messrs Miles and
Ienry's declarations remained away
because they were not some of theil
sentiments.
There was no canvass made in the
county, but one single district meeting
being held. If this campaign had been
active and an effort made to get tht
vote out, the full majority of the party
would probably have been secured
The Republicans, though unusually &C
tive, have made no inroads. The resul
is u strong endorsement of tariff reform
and party principles as set forth BY
Cleveland. Republican anticipations hav,
been dismally disappointed.
