400. Last year it was carried by the re-
publicans in the congressional election by
80 majority, and this year the leaders of
both parties agree that the outlook is
doubtful.
Frederick.
Frederick county, the home of Colonel
Lewis Victor Baughman, usually goes re-
publican, the majorities ranging from 200
to 700. The republicans claim the county
for Lown6es by 1900, while the democrats
coEcede them 500.
Washington.
Washington county goes republican in
state and county elections oftener than
democratic. This year the democrats ad-
NIT that Lowndes will carry the county by
500 majority, while the republicans claim
fully LOO.
Allegany.
Both democrats and republicans admit
that in Allegany county, the home of Mr..
Lowndes. the republican state and local
tickets will receive good majorities. Mr..
Wellington carried the county IN the con-
gressional election last year by 1000, ard
the county is generally conceded to the re-
puDlicans by at least LOO =; -
Garrett.
1t is claimed by the republicans and con-
ceded by the democrats that in Garrett
county the republican state and county
tickets will be elected by at least 500 ma
jority.
Montgomery.
Montgomery county the home Of Chair
man Talbot of the democratic state com
m~,ee, is claimed by that gentleman for
Hurst by $40. The republicans, however,
dispute this claim.
Anne Arundel.
Anne Arundel is one of the most uncer-
in he Ctafa
goes democratic, but occasionally goes re-
publican. 1t is the most corrupt county in
the state, ard at least one-third of its voters
cheerfully sell their votes.
The democrats are in bad shape this year.
Willie the republicans are united, and both
sides claim the county and 1t is difficult to
estimate the result.
Howard.
Howard county is the home of Senator
German, and usually gives a democratic
majority of from $50 up. This year both
parties are split up into fractional fights,
ard the democrats, who reside in the coun-
ty and VINO are excellent judges, admit that
the outome is very uncertain.
Prince Georges.
Prince Georges is another uncertain coun-
ty. and, as in Howard, both parties are
split into factional fights. The result is
estimated being in doubt. with the
Chances IdVOFHlS the republicans.
Charles.
In Charles county both parties are dis
rupted over the court house question, but
the chances are that the republican state
and local tickets will be elected by from
300 to 800 majority. This county is in the
black belt.
Calvert.
Calvert county is also in the black belt
and goes republican oftener than demo-
cratic. This year the republicans are split
open, while the democrats are united, and
the result Is in doubt.
St. Mary's.
St Mary's county, also one of the ''black''
counties, is usually republican by 80 to
800 majority. The republicans are united
this year, and the democrats concede them
the county by about 800 majority for the
republican county and state ticket.
1t will be seen from the above review OF
the situation in every county in the state
that the republicans, unless all usual po-
| ltical signs fail, nave by far the better
chance of electing their state ticket as well
as their local ticket in most counties by
good majortieS.
