antics.

The unprecedented Republican
majority in this county is cause for
genuine delight on the part of our
Republican friends, especially SO in
the face of the claims and pretensions
of the silver Democracy. A glance at
the recapitulation of the vote will
show that old Garrett has recorded
the greatest Republican triumph in
her history. This majority is the re
suit of a steadily growing Republican
sentiment and population. Year by
year it increases and we believe and
confidently expect that next year it
will reach the One-thOusand mark.
Garrett is easily the banner Re
publican county of the State, yielding
larger majority in proportion to
her population than any of her sis
tiers. The heart of every true Repub-
lican within her confines ought to
swell with rightful pride at the proud
position she has taken at the head of
Il PROUD line Oh counties III Une grand
old commonwealth of Maryland.
We look for a revival of business
because confidence has been restored
and we believe that it will only be
short time until the good effects of
this great victory will be felt among
our people.
Let the good work go. Let every
Republican help maintain and hold
the position already secured by our
party in this county. Let no tagging
prevail. but endeavor constantly to
increase and swell the majority. Let
every Republican in the county feel
that he is in part the cause of Repub-
lican success

YESTERDAY morning the Garrett

We predict the statement without

fell into the hands of its disrupters
and succeeded in bringing to the front

The flags were out, and the wind
blew free Tuesday, and the sun shone,
and the people of the United States
indicated before the world their
ability to govern themselves.
There was one clean, clear issue
rising above all consideration as te
candidates or parties or the word
splitting of platforms. The declara-
ton in favor of the free coinage OF
silver at ratio of IL to /, simply sta
ted, was a proposal, by changing the
standard of value, to repudiate one
half of our public and private indebt-
| edness. Though the scheme was ur-
ged by seductive arguments to work
ingmen out of work, to debt burdened
farmers suffering from steady de-
cline in the prices of their products,
and to uniformed men who were
dazzled with the promise of cheap
money, and though it was also pas
sionately proclaimed that the demon
citation of silver was crime brought
about by scheming plutocrats, to the
everlasting credit of the American
people they were alike deaf to appeals
to their distresses, their cupidity, their
prejudices or their passions Against
all proposals of mercenary self-inter-
est and all clamor of .demagogy, they
have chosen the path of honor
There was no halfway business
about it. The people, North, East,
South and West, voted Tuesday to
sustain the public credit; to keep
untarnished the national honor. 1t
was a vote for the gold standard. 1t
was vote of confidence and support
of the financial policy of the Cleveland
administration, and at the same time
a vote of rebuke for both parties in
failing to assist in the effort to main
tain gold payments.
There never was time since 1776
when an American patriot had greater
cause to be proud of his country.
There is an old saying that ''it
makes no difference to the OK how his
rib shall be roasted" But it some
times does make difference In the
contest which has just ended the
Democratic party was slaughtered at
the outset. Yet the triumph of
Sound Money is Il reai1irmation of
Democratic doctrine. If the Demo-
cratic organization have been lost,
Democratic principle has been sus-
tanned. Though the shadow has
vanished, the substance remains. The
decision against free silver coinage is
a decision against the protective
principle of taxation put in one of its
boldest and most obnoxious forms.
The cry has gone forth; there is no
denying it. Mckinley is elected.
Yellow is the color. Gold is the stan
dard. Business will be resumed. Ev-
cry dollar in circulation will have
behind it the pledge of the ballot.
Credit will come out of its skulking
places, and confidence will spread
over the land like sunshine, making
all things smile again.

Henry Stockbridge, the Republican
candidate for additional judge in Bal
timore City ran behind his ticket, but
the personal popularity of his com
petitor could not avail against the
impetus given to the ballOting by
overshadowing national issues.
The weather was ideal, and a full
vote was brought out. The new pre-
cautions thrown around the exercise
of the elective franchise, and to keep
inviOIate the secrecy of the ballot, by
the last Legislature, were tested for
the first time, and amply vindicated
the wisdom of those who conceived
them. An utter absence of disorder
or confusion characterized the cleo
ton and the most pronounced OppO-
nent of the system was compelled to
concede its absolute fairness.

retain the esteem of the world by do-
ing the opposite?
But there were other reasons which
helped to swell the Republican tri-
umph in the state The Republican
party has been in power in Maryland
less than a year, and no party was
ever more maligned Lduring the same
space of time. 1t is safe to say that
no party has ever been less deserving
of censure. In city and state the
pledges made by the party have been
so far as was possible, keptsn letter
and in spirit. The Legislature prom.
ised honest elections and a reassess-
ment of property. Tuesdays election
was the only fair election ever held in
this state in fifteen or twenty years,
and this was due solely to the election
laws passed by Republican admins
tratiOn and election officials APP
pointed by it. The reassessment of
property is in process of completion,
as promised, though ten months have
scarcely expired since the Republi-
cans assumed control of the state.
There are other very strong reasons
for Republican supremacy in Mary
land. The splendid American policy
of which President-elect Mckinley is
the representative appeals directly tC
the vigorous manhood of the state
The tOilers, be they at the forge or *
the counting room, are weary of nd
cations, or even worse, of periodica
attacks upon the finances and indus
tries of the country. They have seer
the vicious effects of four years OF
disagreement. 1t is like the seven
years of famine which followed the
seven years of plenty in Egypt, eN.
cept that there was no prophetic JOS
eph in the Democratic fold to put the
people on guard against the coming
evils, or to fill the granaries in time
They are thoroughly tired of a party
whose statesmen, when placed in pc
sitions of responsibility, precipitate
disaster. The Republican party is q
progressive party. 1t believes il
helping the American people to hell
themselves, rather than in helping
foreign countries to impoverish the
American people. 1t believes in fos
tering great American industries
building American ships and extend
ing American commerce. Finely-spur

Maryland has again been struck by
a political cyclone, the second being
of even greater intensity than that
which, last year, swept the Demo
cratic party out of power, and install
ed the Republicans in control of the
state and city machinery.
Not only has the old state been torn
away from its customary moOrings in
the presidential column by majority
which the most enthusiastic Mckin-
leyites scarcely dared TO hope for, but
II solid Republican delegation will
represent it IN the lower house of the
Fifty-tifth Congress, while the party
has gained an additional judge and
has retained it's grip on the municipal
administration in Baltimore by keep
ing the strength of the opposition in
the first branch of the city council
down to seven.
The plurality for the Republican
Presidential ticket in the State will
reach 1900, and may go higher For

Maryland has again enrolled herself
in the column of Republican states.
For the second time in twelve months
she has given a phenomenal majority
for the party of progress and sound
principles. Tuesdays vote is sur
prise to the most sanguine, and vet
those who are familiar with the past
history of the state ought to have been
prepared for it. Maryland passed
through a financial whirlwind in the
forties which was locally a severer trial
than that to which she was exposed
Tuesday and, thanks to the wise coun-
sells which then prevailed, she emerged
from it in triumph. From that day to
this there has been no blot on her
name. Her credit has been golden in
every part of the world. When, there
fore, the people were asked to join in
conspiracy to repudiate the obliga-
tiOns of the government and debase
the national currency, every induce
ment of state pride and state prece-
dent urged them to recoil. The state
had refused to repudiate, and had on
that account become prosperous and

IN LINZ FOR HONEST MONEY

Mckinley has swept the country by
the most astonishing majorities in
the history of American politics. The
national ticket is elected overwheln-
ingly, and the Republicans will have
a large majority in the next House of
Representatives.
The magnitude of the sound money
victory has surpassed the expecta-
tions of everyone. 1t swept all the
great states of the country, and where
it did not win it wonderfully decreas-
ed the opposition majorities.

OF the AT electoral votes Mckinley
has received a large majority, al
though only 224 are necessary to make
him President. The following States
were carried by majorities so decisive,
and in many instances so gigantic
that even Chairman Jones has not
the audacity to question them:
Connecticut, Illinois, Iowa, Maine,
Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan,
Minnesota, New Hampshire, New Jer-
sey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania,
Rhode Island, Vermont, Wisconsin.
These States east in the aggregate
800 votes,-4 less than majority. On
these four votes Mr.. Jones was at last
advices hanging his hopes. Some
time yesterday he sent Mr.. Bryan the
following dispatch:
CHICAGO, Nov. 4.
Hon. William J. Bryan:

Southern votes and 81 from west of

ed on Indian, Michigan and Mime

cept what the press dispatches sent
out to the contrary.
Il The only Southern State | concede
is Maryland. JAMES X. JONES.
The later dispatches have swept
from Mr.. Jones all hope of capturing
the needed votes. The following are
some of the States relied upon;
CALIFORNIA.
SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 4.-California
has joined the East in the Mckinley
landslide and it's majority for the Re
publican standard bearer will pass
5000 at least. Many OF the counties
have not yet sent in returns, but the
more populous and those in which
the fate of the elections hinged have
all been heard from and swell the Re
publican majority to a point where
nothing to come later can disturb
them.
Los Angeles. which was the strong
hold in the southern tiers of counties.
is estimated as giving from 1900 to
1000 majority for Mckinley. Great
interest is centred on the Congress
sional ticket. Outside of this city only
one Democratic Representative seems
to have been chosen. The Legisla-
ture has gone with the general result.
and may safely be classed as Republi-
can, to the United States Senate.
OREGON.
PORTLAND, ORE, Nov. 4.-Nearly
three-fourths of the total vote of Ore
gon has been received. Mckinley,
30, 1873, Bryan, 27,409; McKinley's plur-
ality, 4,724. Palmer's vote in the
State will be about 100. 1t is esti-
mated that the precincts yet to be
heard from will reduce McKinley's
plurality 1,500, making his plurality
in the State, $500.
NORTH DAKOTA.
BIsMARK, n. D., Nov. THE Re-
publicans have carried the State by
from 5000 to 5000. Fifty-three pre-
cincts out of 1913 give Mckinley, 2,6OS;
Bryan, 1917.
This is Republican gain, and
shows that the Republican National,
State and Congressional tickets are
elected, and that North Dakota will
have Senator who favors the gold
standard.
