the war has there been a campaign in

MARYLAND
BALTIMORE. Nov. "A rumor is in
circulation tonight to the effect that
Republican candidates for city offices
have entered into an agreement with
the Democrats to trade Mckinley votes

sufficiently definite to cause considera-
BILE uneasiness in Republican ranks, as
most of McI<inley's vote will come from
=, .;t
the i-Bryanites admitting that out
side of Baltimore city the result is at
least doubtful. Senator elect yelling
ton. chairman of the state committee,
however. vigorously denies that there
is any truth in it, although he at the
same time admits that he is not going
to his home in Allegheny county tomor-
row, and that he has paired with free
silver advocate, so that his vote will not
be lost. This has been the only thing to
ruffie the surface of the political mill
pond today, although the interest and
excitement is noticeably greater than
in any campaign for many years. Crowds
have occupied every available space on
the streets all day long, and tonight
there are numbers of ward meetings all
over the city. The chairmen of both
state committees adhere to their pre-
vious estimates and there is nothing on
the surface to show which of them is
right.
