Anne Arundel by a very small margin.
The same is true of Prince Georges and
Kent, where the mlajor.ties are not much
in excess of fifty votes in any case
In Carroll the official vote viii be nec-
essany TO determine the vote, the indi-
cations being that the republicans have
one delegate there. in Talbot th= indi-
cations are two democrats are elected
and tie between the contestants for the
third seat.
Montgomery sends democratic SEN
ator and two republican assemblymen
by very narrow margins, while both
sides claim the third assemblyman.
In Washington the democrats elect
three assemblymen by about $50 major
fly and the republicans one by about 50
majority.
Nothing has been heard from Calvert
upon which a reasonable estimate can
be based.
Hartford sends three democratic as
semblymen and republican senator

Both sides get an assemblyman from
Caroline by small margins.
A recapitulation. in view of these de-
velopments, leaves 43 democrats and AZ

house. I can show that we have 46
votes in the house. They are as follows:
Allegheny, 5; Garrett, 2; Frederick, 8;
Washington, /; Montgomery, 3; Talbot,
1; Charles, 2; Somerset. 3; st. Marys, 2;
Baltimore city Is; Carroll county, 1;
Caroline, /; Calvert, 2. This gives us
majority of one in the house and either
seven or nine on joint ballot.
This is my claim, and it will be found
that 1t Will be substantiated. l must con-
fess that the majority is a little too close
for comfort, but such a small working
majority has some benefits, for 1t al
ways results in cementing the party to-
gether for good legislative work."
The chairman of both state commit
tees dispatched trusted lieutenants to
Calvert county this afternoon to watch
the count there.

The dearth of NEWS from THE Fower

He charges frauds In Noble and Wood
counties and in the Marion-Logan dis

securing the legislature on as close a

Hanna will secure the caucus nominal

legislature the coming winter would
break the record fer faetional fighting
and disturbances of the session of the
Kentucky legislature last winter.
There are reports tonight that certain
anti-Hanna republicans and democratic
managers have held conferences for a
combine to bring out another man, If

ican majority in the Legislature to one
vo.le on joint ballot. OF this number
one republican, fusion candidate, 1t was

Columbus, o., Nov. 3.-Unofficial but
complete returns show republican pru-
rality of 26. $40 in Ohio. Both sid4s still
claim majority of the legislature, repub-
licans by five and democrats by three
majority.
AT beth the republican and democratic G
state headquarters tonight figures are
being suIbstaint lated for the claims of last
night and today. Chairman McConn-
Willie, of the democrs'tic state commit tee,
conceded the defeat OF his state ticket,
but says they have reduced the republi-
can plurality of $1,000 of hast year by
over one-half. Although others at dsmo-
cratic staJe headquarters concede the
legislature will be republican on a close
majority of one or more, Chairman Mo
Connville does mot concede the control
of that body to the republicans.
At II p. IN. he reviewed the claims of
the republicans on the legislature. Mr.
McConnwlle said the republicans claimed
tlhe Iegishature by rs to 10. He struck
the representatives from Wood alnd Noble
counties from their list. also the senator
from the IMarfonI4ogan district, and said
these three changes would make the leg
isladure stand rs democrats TO 72 republi-
cans, and me would never give either Of
fhese three doubtful members up until
the official count w5s complete.
He also contests the election of two OF
the Twelve members frHom Cuyahoga

GEORGE FRED WILLIAMS
Sees Hope For the Future of Democracy
Touches Up BacksIiders.

Boston, Nov. 3.-George Fred William
democratic candidate for governor, has
given out statement on tho eiectl3n in
which he says in part,
My views upon yesterdays election
in Massa chusetts are that rn1calism
under the democratic name has been
strengthened somewhat in It's position
and emboldened in its course and will
continue in the field a growing quantity
to be reckoned with In the rear future
The lines are obviously hardening as
between republican cons s:rvatism and
democratic policies of change and up
heavall and, between the two, no room
will evidently be found for building up
leading opposition to republicanism.
What ia here said of Massachusetts,
applies with even greater force to the
rest of the country. The results there
and In Massachusetts ought to be de-
cisive of tf1s insignifcanee of what is
called the gold democratic vote.
THE farce has, ended In Kentucky, and
1t ought to be clear to the little handful
in Massachusetts, that there Is no futurs
possibility either for the maintenance of
an organization at the hands of the
democratic partly fer these gentlemen

NEARLY one-half in Massachusetts, is very
satisfactory lyo me, though I ann sorry
that our voters did not come more gen.

his law studies with und:minished zeal,
as there is nothing so repugnant to me
as musician who Is that alone with
out any higher general culture. At the
wish Of his family he applied himself
also to the study cf Jurisprudence. Full
sof devotion TO his mother, he tried hard
to take an interest in this study, which,
in reality, went dreadfully against his
gram Ard now what is the perfectly
clear and evident result Of all his pains
and experience? Simply the outspoken,
absolute conviction that the more he
sets the one thing against the other the
more he feels that it is art alone-in
other words, music-that he can love
increasingly. This one thing, my dear
lady, stands first and foremost as an un-
deniable fact, and cannot doubt that,

A Novel Occupation.


An occupation which does not figure
in labor statistics, nor in the social econ
omy at least of America, is discovered
in the following advertisement, which
appeared in the Blackpool Tir. es, an
English newspaper, in the last days of
1896: young man, Of dark complexion,
is prepared to 3let in the New Year at
any house in Blackpool between IL and
9 q. H., at Q shi1lings each without re-
freshments. % The explanation of this
cryptic notice lies, it seems, in a local
superstition that the first visitor to a
house in the new year, if he happens to
be of dark complexion, brings it good
luck.
