lcan candidate Tor Governor was elected by

in the Bath and Rowan and Clinton and Wayne
Representative Districts are still undecided,
although the returns indicate that Republicans
may got all four.
With these district. left out the Legislature
is made up as follows: OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
Gratis, AZ; Republicans. 81; Populists 2. Sem
stors, including hold -overs-Democrats, %;
Republicans 10. Joint Embellishments, 60;
Republicans %.
The Populists are free.silver men, and are
likely to vote with the Democrats thus giving
them 81 votes on joint ballot. The majority
will be decided, therefore, by the doubtful dis
triets Bath and Rowan claimed by the Demo
Gratis, are, however, pretty sure TO be counted
Republican. Clinton aud Wayne Counties have
not been heard FROM but are sure TO be Repub-
licsn. These would make the General Assem-

Of his lifs and all the capabilities of his ma
chine, which be has been building I'D and per- 4
fectiBg for years, were e1erted TO the utmost. i
But the people OF Baltimore and the State were |
iDtoleraely weary of the abuses and corruption /
with which they have been afflicted, and the |
result a victory which astonished even
themselves. In spite of the rowdysm in Bel
timore, which the police made little effort to
suppress the Republicans swept everything for
the first time since the war. Lowndes. their |
candidate for Governor, carried Baltimore Ivy

were very small. In Baltimore the Republi-

members of the House OF Delegates In the
Senate they will be in the minority. the IL
Democratic hold over Senators saving the

Republicans; but it is not at ali unlikely that
