Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
BALTIMORE, Md, April 1S.-The result
of the republican primary elections in this
city and in Baltimore county yesterday
emphasizes the force of the Mckinley
sentiment in Maryland. The delegates elect
ed to the several district conventions and
to the state convention are strong McKtn-
-leyites to a man, and prominent republi-
cans are asserting that despite the unwill-
ingness of Gov. Lowndcs and Mr.. Yelling
ton to have the Maryland delegation to the
st. Louis convention in any wise instructed
there is q strcng probability that the states
representatives will be directed to cast
their votes for the favorite son of Ohio.

on the increase, and was frequently in evi-
dence during the progress of the primaries.

headed by eX-District Attorney John T.
Ensor met with defeat, and Mr.. Ensor for
the first time in thirty years finds himself

In that county Mr.. Ensor has held party
machinery under his control since the or
ganiZation of the party, and he takes lis
defeat very much to heart.
The younger clement which has succeed
ed hiEn is strongly in favor of Mckinley
Mr. Ensar is understood to have been an
advocate of eX-Presidsnt Harrison's 1e-
nomination, with Speaker Reed as a sec
ord choice, and this fact is believed by his

MS fight with the council, and who came
up for denomination, Were Overwhelmingly
defeated, while those who opposed him
were favored with nominations as testi-
monia!s of the unqualified approval of the
rank ard file
