The Silent Voter Will he a Great Fac
tor I'm Maryland.


BALTIMORE, Md, Nov. 4.-The eve of
Marylands most critical political battle
finds the issue enshrouded in doubt. The
generals on both sides are claiming VIC
tory but the tones in which they make
their boasts and the figures they cite as a
basis for their alleged belief do not carry
conviction to the mind of an unprejudiced
onlooker. The fact is that everybody is
at sea, because, in the present contest. the
silent voter is a greater factor than he has
ever been in the history of Maryland poll
tics The hurrah part of the battle is over.
and the position Of those who participated
in ii is known and their votes already
counted by the party managers, but the
ballot of the silent voter is still In his pock-
ct. and this year his name Is legion.
The fierce and persistent attacks on Sena-
tor German and the outcry against what
his opponents term "Gormanism has un-
doubtedly influenced many who have here,
tofore voted the Democratic ticket ana
who is known as Mr.. Germans candidate.
Upon the other hand, the very bitterness
of the attack has brought Mr. Go-man's
friends closer to him than ever before, ana
they will get out every vote at their COM
mand 1t is possible that the same condi-
tions will bring some voters to his aid who
have heretofore stood by the Republicans,
out of sheer admiration for the plucky fight
he is making against his enemies in his
own party. Then, too, the color line has
been drawn for all it is worth, and every
known device has been taken advantage
OF TO lead the voters of Maryland TO be-
lieye that Republican victory means negro
supremacy With such arguments as these
as the sole issues in the campaign, 1t would
be idle to predict result, and all that can
be said of it is that it looks anybody's
victory.
The officers to be elected are: Governor.
Controller of the State Treasury, Attorney

cratic incumbent, seven members of the
State Senate and a full House of Assembly.

for Governor is Alexander L. McGill, the
present Chancellor of the State. His op-
ponent is John w, C4iggs The election is
claimed by both parties by between two
and five thousand. The voting viii proba-
bly, be light throughout the State. except in
isolated counties. where local fights on the
Assembly tickets have added interest to
the campaign In the large counties the
registration is light and in favor of the
Republicans. The State campaign has been
fought on the same issues on which the
Republicans carried the State in the last
two elections. The race track and admins
tration of State affairs by the Democrats
during the ten years preceding 1893 were the
issues raised by the Republicans. The
Democratic leaders claim they will control
the Assembly, but to do this they will have
to carry Essex county, which they con-
cede to be Republican on the State ticket.
OF the sixty members of the. last House,
fifty-four were Republicans. This majority,
it is expected, will be largely cut down.
and whichever party controls the House
next session will not have very large
margin. Close observers predict that the
majority in the House will not be more
than FIVE either way. The Senators to be
elected will not affect the political COM
plexion of that body. Five Republicans and
two Democrats retire. The Republicans
claim they will undoubtedly carry the nve
seats from which Republicans retire. and
the Democrats say they will carry one of
theirs, with good chance of capturing the
other National issues have not entered
ints the fight in this State to any great ex-
tent. Both sides contented themselves with
State affairs.
The Camden county Democratic executive
committee this afternoon served manda-
mus on City Clerk T. p. Varney citing him
to appear before Supreme Court Justice
Garrison to show why the voting
booths erected in front OF buildings desig-
mated as polling places should not be de-
clared illegal. Justice Garrison stated that
unless both sides should agree to the hear
ing he could not sit on the case. City Clerk
Varney refused to agree to this and the
court stated that IL had nothing before It,
Richard Ridgeway, counsel for the Demo-
Gratis. stated that the votes cast outside Of
the buildings designated as polling places
would be contested. A meeting of the coun-
ty Republican executive committee was
then called. and it was decided to place the
voting booths inside OF the buildings ad-
ivertised. Word of this action on the part
of the Democrats was telegraphed to all
sections of the State

I'm nm Important Patent Case.

CHICAGO, Nov. 4-The fact that ex-
President Harrison would be present as
counsel in the case Of the Standard Ele-
vator Company VS.. the Crane Elevator
Company. attracted large crowd to the
session of the United States Circuit Court
of Appeals to-day. The case is a celebrated
one. and has in the past involved personal
encounters between the attorneys General
Harrison was first to address the court
on the appeal to-day. He charged attorney
Raymond and the Crane Elevator Company
with taking the Standards model from the
old postoffice building and leaving his
side handicapped. There was a fiutter OF
excitement at the making of the charge
General Harrison recounted the declara-
tions of the ex-assistant custodian of the
postoffice building and the janitor of the
Federal Circuit Court as to the removal
of the models Mr.. Raymond made en-
phatfc denial that he or his associates
were responsible for the abstraction of the
models, and said IL they had been removed
by Cranes employees, IL was through error
After considerable further argument. Cen
eral Harrison said he had blue prints and
could proceed with them. He simply did
not wish to be held responsible for any

be in court. This statement set matters
right and Judge Woods said the bench
being familiar with models In general
could proceed with the print The ex-
pected Investigation of the disappearance
of the model vanished and Mr. brown ad-
dressed the court with an explanation OF

WILL GO REPUBLICAN.
GreenhaIge Will Easily Carry the
Bay state To-Day.

BOSTON Nov. $50 peaceful Is the
situation to all outward appearances in the
political gubernatorial battle to be decided
tomorrow that it is hardly possible to be-
lieve this is the election eve. Activity is
confined to headquarters of the two big
parties. The Democrats closed their cam
paign Saturday and the Republicans fol-
lowed suit tonight with little vocal skirm-
ishes country town platforms and a
final volley OF campaign argument in the
home of the Republican gubernatorial
candidate-Lowell. In reality there has
been little smoke from the political stump
conflicts Of the past month, SO that ballot
away. From the lack of confidence on the
Democratic side and the jubilant express
sions OF the Republicans, the outcome is
predicted. Governor Greenhalge is expected
to be a second time reelected with de-
creased majority. the difference being ac-
centuated more or less by general apathy
in an "off year" The entire Republican
State ticket customary, will follow the
leader, while in senatorial and representa-
tive fights on local issues, there promises
to be little change. thereby leaving the
complexion of the next General Court as
during the past year.
The principal local issue has been pre-
cipitated by the recent census bulletins

entire redistricting of the State next year

THE FIGHTIN KENTUCKY.
,oth sides Confident, with Chances I'm
Favor OF Bradley.


LOUISVILLE. Nov. 4-One of the hot
test campaigns known in this State for
many years has closed and if the weather
is fair Kentucky will. tomorrow, poll the
largest vote ever given. The fight, though
there four tickets in the field. is be-
tween the Republicans and Democrats for
the State offices, beginning with Governor
and running down to District Railroad Com
missioner For time IL looked as though
the Populists would poll a large vote, but
the old parties have whipped the would-be
deserters into line and now. at the close of
the fight, the finish is between Hardin, DEM
ocrat. and Bradley, Republican, for first
honor-the Office of Governor. The leaders
named have been on the stump for two
months. while all others on the respective
tickets have been doing more or less pub
lie speaking. Each side claims the victory.
Hardin's partisans and managers say that
he will come TO this city with fifteen thou
ley claim that he will win by not less than
ten thousand. Both sides assert that this
city will favor. their respective nominee.
Hardin will be disappointed il they are
earnest in their claims.
All cities in the State will elect municipal
officers and in many cases these local con-
tests are badly mixed In this city there
are three. tickets Republican, Democrat and
Citizens. The A. p. vote, said to be about
fourteen thousand, will be cast for the Re-
publicans. The A. p. AS have taken this
chute because the Democratic platform de-
nounces the organization. The Democrats
claim that they will carry Louisville. with
out naming majority. On the other hand.
the Republicans and A. L. AS put their
majority at from eight TO twelve thousand.
The proba bilities are that the CITY will go
Republican by, perhaps, three thousand.
In addition to State and city officers,
nineteen Senator'S and one hundred .mem--
bers of the House to be elected. and
this Legislature, I'm turn, will elect United
States Senator to succeed j. c. s. Black
burn. In this body the Democrats will have
the advantage of nineteen hold-over Sena-
tors. There is little doubt that the Demo-
Gratis will have a majority large enough to
elect the Senator without trouble.
