Baltimore, Md, November 7.-One or the
peculiar things about the election in this
state Yesterday is the fact that the demo-
cratic counties which have secured the
largest share of the federal Offices have
gone republican.
Carroll county, which has the collector OF
customs, the best Office in the state; the
special deputy collector and a large number
of minor Offices, went republican for the
first time since 1885, and Hartford county
which has the collector of internal reYe-
nue. and more minor places than any other
county In the state, in spite of the usual
large democratic majority, went repuD-
lcan.
Senator Gibson's county, Talbot, which
has eighteen men I'm good federal offices,
also went republican; and other counties.
with large number of offices to their credit,
went republican, showed a large falling
off In the democratic vote
IL Is noticeable also that the precinct in
Howard county in which Senator German
resides and votes gave republican ma
jority for the first time in a quarter of a
century.
The returns from the First Maryland
congressional district are yet incomplete,

That the Maryland democrats will have
any representation in the fifty-fourth con
gress is not certain, however. The re-
publican state committee claim to have
evidence of the grossest frauds in the first,
third and fourth districts and will. there
fore, contest the seats of Mics, Rusk and
Cowen. 1t is not improbable that the re
publicans will win their case. especially
in the third and fourth districts. 1t is
claimed that the frauds in these districts
aggregate neatly 1000 votes, whereas
itusks and Governs combined pluraities
are but l,5l6.
The republicans yesterday made gains In
every ward in the city except two and car
ried many wards that have hereto
fore been regarded as democratic strong
holds For the first time since 1861 the
republicans Will have absolute control Of
the council. The first branch of the cit
council viii have republican majority OF
two. Never before nave the republicans
swept Maryland they did yesterday.

tired of the state and Disguised with his
defeat" said a well-known pOpulist today.
He also said that the governor is consid-
ering a proposition made to him to take
up his residence in Illinois. The story is
that the populists in Illinois have taken
such a liking 10 the governor that they
want him not only 10 reside among them
but also to lead them to victory as their
candidate for governor in 1896. The recep-
ton given Governor Waite on mis- recent
visit 20 the Windy City pleased him I'M
mersely. II is not probable that the gov
ernor will live in Chicago, but near that
city.
The republicans apparently have ma
jOrity of sixteen on joint ballot in the lesis-
lature The senate will consist of sixteen
republicans and nineteen democrats and
pOpulists. In the house the republicans
viii have fOrty-two members and the OPP
position twenty-three.
1t having been demonstrated today that
the wOman's vote in Denver in Tuesdays
election was 50 per cent of the total vote,
the leading women, therefore, formed
state organiza ton of their own for the next

Two years ago Maine Democratic ora
tors were shouting themselves hoarse
over State finances, alleging all sorts of
extravaganza and crookedness on the
part of State officials. This however
availed nothing and did not divert the
attention of the people from National
issues as the Democracy vainly hoped it
would. This campaign they have little
if anything to say about State finances,
but are making a great "hullabaloo'
about prohibition and the resubmission
of the prohibitory amendment to the
people, endeavoring again to divert atten-
ton from National issues. But in this
they will be no more successful than
they were in their attempts to this end
two years ago. Maine Republicans are
not to be deceived by this chati. They
will not How these false issues, gotten
up with the intent to deceive, to draw
their attention from national issues Of
transcendent Importance. Beating gongs
and throwing dust into the air don't
count this year.

We are so obtuse that we fail to see
any real difference between President
Cleveland signing the Sugar Trust tariff
bill or allowing it to become law with
out his signature, so far as his response
biitv goes. There were two ways for
him to approve it. One was to sign it
off hand, promptly, the other to hold it
ten days. By pursuing the former
course he would have saved the country
millions, but he obstinately chose the
latter just from sentimental notions that
had no force to them. The result is Just
the same so far as the bill is concerned
to-day but ''Uncle Sam is out of pocket
several millions, the Whiskey aud Sugar
trusts are in so much.
