MINNESOTA.

Former majori1es do not prove anything
in Minnesota this time. The congressional
situation is so mixed that people on the
ground do not venture any general predic-
ton. The two great fights are that Of the
gold people to beat Towne in the sixth. and
that of the silver,tes to beat McCleary In
the second district. BY first intuition each
has the chances in his favor, but the fight
is such that normal majorities may be
overcome. The democrats and populists
have fused in every district, and the fight
is hot.
First-Candidates: Rep, Jas. A. Tawney,
Winona, renominated; fus., Patrick Fitz-
patrick, Winona.

republicans are confident
Third-Candidates: Rep, Joel p. Heat

in the F'ifty-third Congress- and at the last
election Heatwole carried 1t by a vote OF
10, 46l, to 14.l93 dem., 4,9SS pop. and 9is

MARYLAND.

In Maryland the populists are supporting
the democratic candidates. The republi
| cans elected three members of the delega
ton at the last election, and the fourth
district is represented by a gold democrat
A hot fight Is being made all along The
line, and nearly all the districts are in
doubt Free silver has no. been the issue
before, therefore former votes do not give
a reliable indication of party strength a.
this time.
First. Candidates-Rep.. DR.. Isaac A

This district is represented by a gold
democrat. Therefore the vote of last cleo.
ticn does not give an indication of what
may be expected this year. The vote then

sentiment is strong here, as In the third

republicans.

This district is represented now by a re-
publican. The vote at the last election was:
Rep, 1888; DEM. 1921. The district is
usually close, and the situation this time Is
peculiar. Mudd is opposed by the A. r. A.,
and this is said to make his defeat possible
Sixth. Candidates-Rep., Jno. Mcdonald
Rockville; DEM, Blair Lee, Silver Spring:
pro-. Prof. o. H. Bruce, Westernport
This is a republican district. Wellington
carried 1t at the last regular election BY a
vote of 10 100 against 16. 742 for the demo-
crat and 1,097 for the prohibitionist. While
tie general impression is that the republi-
cans will again carry 1t, the democrats are
making q hard fight and are more hopeful
of success there than in some districts
where they have usually been more sue
cessful.
