MARYLAND DOWN IN THE MIRE.
The Anti-DemOcratic Combine Car
ries the State

Baltimore, Nov. 5.-Senator German has
met his Waterloo. At midnight the indi-
cations point to a complete republican
victory in Maryland. Lloyd Lowndes is
undoubtedly elected governor and the bal
ance of the state ticket has an apparent
majority of over 10000
The legislature will be republican on
joint ballot, thereby ensuring a republi-
can successor to United States Senator
Gibson.
In Baltimore city the returns indicate
a complete overthrow for the Gorman-Ra-
sin ring. Hooper, republican for mayor.
mas an apparent majority of more than
5,JV9 The republicans have also a major
ity of the city council and clerks of the
court.
The American claims the election of
LOWndeS Tor governor and the entire re-
publican ticket by 1000 in the city and
IO,OO in the state, making 10000.
Baltimore, Nd, Nov 5.-The heaviest
vote ever cast in Baltimore was polled
to-day IL was the most exciting day Bal
uimore has known since the war Violence
and disorder were the features through
out The police commissioners and Police
Marshal Frey, in one particular Instance
admitted their helplessness and encour-
aged an appeal, which was subsequently
made, to Henry Williams, the democratic
candldate Tor mayor, to interfere in ia
Nor OF suppressing the disturbances. Mr..
Williams readily responded by saying that
he would not accept the Office if he were
elected by fraud, and he at once set out
to influence Mr.. Hurst, the gubernatorial
candidate in the same direction. Their
combined efforts had a salutary effect
The disturbances, however, called forth
protest against the slip-shod methods
of the police department Hon. George L.
Wellington, chairman of the republican
state central committee, calling the at
tention of Marshal Frey to the police de-
reelection. Mr.. Wellington, in a letter to
Marshal Frey, said; If you do not per-
form your duty / will make il known to
the people of this city and state, and put
you in the pillory of public opinion for
having assisted the criminal element in
preventing a fair election"
Notwiths tanding the stringent orders of
Marshal Frey most of the saloons of the
city were wide open and great deal of
drunkenness characterized the day. Sew
eral arrests were made; an occasional shot
was fired; ballot boxes were smashed and
registration books torn to bits The day
closed, however, without a political death
record.
Returns from the First and Second dis
tricts of Howard county give 225 majority
for Lowndes. The other four districts will
probably swell the majority at least to
800. Senator German resides in Howard
county.
There were big republican gains in Anne
Arundel county Easton also shows heavy
republican gains. In Baltimore city, the
republicans carried the Eighth precinct
of the Tenth ward for the first time in
twenty years.

NO DEFEAT IN KENTUCKY.
Louisville Lost, But
the State Saved.

New York, Nov. G. 3 a. m.--The republi-
cans carry New York state by $1,000 plu-
rality New Jersey by over 1900; Mary
land by 10000, and claim to have captured
Kentucky. Besides swinging these states
over into the republican column, they
increased their usual majority in Massa-
chusetts, Ohio Iowa and all other states
where elections we're held. It was a dem
oeratic Waterloo.
Tammany elected her local ticket by
about $4,000, and New York city went
democratic for secretary ofestate by Al,
600, but the republicans came down to the
Bronx with over 100000 votes to spare.
in the Tenth congressional district Amos
J. Cummings dem, was elected, but his
success was plainly due to his personal
popularity. OF the senators in this state
the democrats elected 10 and of the $50
assemblymen only 46.
The Senate elected to-day will have part
in the selection of a successor to David B.
Hill, and it is plain that he will not be
a democrat The republicans were sue
cessfuf all over the state. In this city
and Brooklyn republican senators and as
semblymen were elected where democrats
have been returned year after year
In Brooklyn a democratic mayor pulled
through by narrow plurality. In All
bany, Buffalo and other cities big repub-
lican gains were made.

HARDIN LOSES KENTUCKY.
The Blue Grass state Carried by the
Republicans.

Louisville, KY, 11:5O p. m.-The exciting
campaign in Kentucky was followed to-
day by quiet election. The polls closed
at 4 O'Clock, but the blanket Australian
ballot, with unusual scratching, makes
the counting very slow, and at 10 o'clock
there were not enough returns from the
state or from Louisville to base an esti-
mate upon
The democrats claim the election of T.
Q. Hardin as governor by 10000 or 25,0Oo
plurality.
The republicans claim the election of
Bradley by a small plurality, but give no
estimates. The returns so far as received
from the state show that Hardin has run
with the ticket and in a few counties
ahead of it; and if this ratio continues
his election is assured.
Some counties in the eastern part or
the state show more republicans gains,
as compared with the vote for President
in 1892
In Louisville Hardin is believed to have
been scratched less than was expected,
but Bradley probably carries the city.
The republicans elected four out of
seven school trustees, and will probably
control the city council.
No returns have been received in re-
gard to the election of members of the
legislature, but if the democrats carry
the state for Hardin they will doubtless
control the legislature.
At Versailles a party of negroes from
Frankfort, who were sent there this morn
ing to work for Hardin, were driven out

At Frankfort there was much scratch
ing of the municipal ticket and a large
vote was polled.
At Lexington heavy vote was polled
early in the day for members of the board
of education. The voting was necessar-
lily slow, many of the lady clerks not
being able to prepare the ballots with
much rapidty The colored women large
ly voted the democratic ticket. The wo-
men officers of election were nearly all
late in opening the booths
Lexington, KY, Nov. -Four counties

carving three of them.
The republican chairman says Louisville
and Jefferson counties will give Bradley,
rep 10000 majority. Powell county, usu-
ally democtatic, gives 40 republican MAJ
jority. Harrison and Fayette counties,
democratic show slight republican gains.

midnight Chairman Norman of the DEM
ocratic state committee lowers his esti-
mate of Hardin's plurality, but still claims
his election by a safe plurality. Returns
from about half the precincts in Louisville
Indicate that the city will give a repubh-
can plurality Of about 400O on the munici-
pal ticket and probably larger plural
ity for Bradley.
Louisville, KY, Nov. 6. 8 a. m.-Returns
up to II p. m, mostly incomplete, from
din, dem, 81, 155; Bradley, rep, S, S,536; Har-
din's majority, 3,619. Other reports giving
majorities only give Bradley a majority
aggregating 1886, leaving net majority
of 1,224 for Hardin. Louisville Is certainly
republican by over 5000.

city were opened at s o'clock this morn

confusion than was supposed would DC
the case. There has been very little bec-
ting on the result of the election here this
year, the mixed complexion of the ticket
making the result very uncertain. What
little betting was done on the result in
the city was at odds of 2 to in favor OF
Tammany Hail.
The betting on the state ticket has been
at about to l in favor of the republicans
carrying the state.
