THE RUTH" CRADLE.
THE INVENTION OF CAPT. c. T, ROB
 lNSON.
A Cradle Which Promises to RevoIutIonize
 the World in Cradle Making

Some time ago the GRAPHIC made mention of the fact that ouresteemed fellow townsman, Capt. C. r. Robin son, had invented a cradle, which was being made in this city and which would soon be placed on ex- hibition at NJ. Hanf X, Cos
 The cradle is now on exhibition at the above named place and attracts no small degree of attention. It was made of native walnut at the factory of D. B. Riggin, in this city, and finished up in the shop of Viets X Senyard. The cradle sits on a solid foundation and is suspended from four steel rods. It has u reciprOcat- ing motion and is always kept at a level. It is absolutely free from dan ger of falling over, and does not toss the inmate from side to side. It rocks with perfect ease and comfort, and requires butlittl energy Under heath the bed of the cradle are two large drawers, in which to keep baby clothing. It is far superior to any of the old style cradles. and this new in- vention will be hailed with joy and delight by every mother in the land.
 Capt Robinson has applied for patent on his new invention, and has received a favorable report from his patent attorneys.
 Capt. Robinson is already at work on valuable improvement, and in a short while expects to have it working automatically like clock work.
 There can he no doubt of the sue cess of Capt. Robinson's invention. It's advantages over the old styled cradle is apparent, and whenever it is placed on theinarket it will find Il ready sale.
 In speaking of his invention to a GRAPHIC reporter Capt Robinson said that he thought it would be the nucleus for a furniture factory here. After q patent is secured, he expects to manufacture his new cradles for the markets in this city, where he says it can be done as neatly and cheaply as anywhere.
 The inventor has named his inven- ton the Ruth" cradle, in honor of his youngest daughter.
 The GRAPHIC sincerely hopes that Capt. Robinson's invention will be a great success, which, indeed, we be- lieye it will, and that he will find millions in if" as Col. Mulberry Sellers was wont to say.

Democratic Counties Win Most Eeuef"i
OmcIais Went Republican.
BALTIMORE, MD, November 7.-One
Of the peculiar things about the election
in this State yesterday Is the fact that
the Democratic counties which have Sc
cured the largest share of the Federal
Offices have gone Republican. Carroll
county, which has the Collector Of Gus
toms. the best Office in the State. the spe-
cial Deputy Collector, and large number
OF minor offices, went Republican Tor the
first time since 1866, and Hartford county.
which has the Collector OF Internal Reve-
nue. and more minor places than any
other county in the State, in spite Of the
usual large Dc mocratic majority, went Re-
publican. Senator Gibson's county, Tai
bo., which has eighteen men in good
Federal Offices, also went Republican. ana
other counties with large numbers or or
fees TO their credit went Republican or
showed large falling off In the Demo-
cratic vote.
II IA noticeable also that the precinct
In Howard county in which Senator Cor
man resides and votes gave a Republican
majority for the first time In u quarter
of a century.
Tho returns from the First Maryland
Congressional District are yet incomplete
but the Republicans admit that the totals

Fifty-fourth Congress. The Republican

therefore, be three congressmen-William
B Baker in the Second. Charles T.. Coffin

In the Sixth.
REPUBLICAN CONTESTS.
That the Maryland Democrats Will have
any representation in the Fifty-fourth
Congress Is not certain, however. The Re
publican State Committee claim to have
evidence of the greatest frauds In the
First, Third, and Fourth districts, and
will, therefore, contest the seats OF Miles.
Rusk, and Cowen. 1t Is not improbable
that the Republicans will win their cases.
especially in the Third and Fourth dis
tric.s. II is claimed that tho frauds In
these districts aggregate nearly four thou-
sand votes. whereas Rusk and Cowen's S
combined pluralities are but 1,5lS.
