aoRMAN FIG HTING HARD.
The Republicans Seem TO Have M~aryiand-Tw
Counties In Doubt.


BALTIMORE. Nov. 3.-From the face Of tho re-
turns it looks as II Senator German Is beaten.
According to unofficial reports the Republic
cans will have a majority in the Legislature.
Tho House of Delegates will stand 40 to 40 In
favor of the Democrats, while tho Republicans
claim a majority in the Senate Of eight, which
on a joint ballot will give the Republicans tho
majority and will send a Republican to tho
United States Senate to succeed Arthur p.
German. Two counties, however, are still In
doubt, st. Mary's and Calvert. While the re-
turns 80 far received from them are in favor OF
the Republicans. they are also claimed by the
Democrats, The Democrats arc making Q
hard fight to control the General Assembly, and
IL these two counties give Republican maJori-
ties , they t Tll c contest s sas eSuf bef sRe t enee time
that the Legislature ballots to elect q United
States Senator.
Peter j. Capmbell and James H. Preston on a
William T.. Henderson was. sent after them by
the Republicans. Germans chance for re-
election at Is not an any too bright even ~ tb n th ma tiegis,
will be small and there are several anti-Gor-
man members who may refuse to vote for him.
House Of Delegates. II they have a majority
Of the members they can do this, elect the
whole machinery in. their own hands, Tho
meaning of this would doubtless be, the bring
Of Republican members and the seating of
enough Democrats to give that party the AS
sembly on joint ballot; and thus re-elect Senator
German. Among politicians the. greatest in.
terest is manifested in the organization OF the
full party will thus be able to take into its own
hands.
Although tho Legislature is so close, the Re-
publicans succeeded in electing the State Comp
trolier and Clerk Of Court of Appeal. In Balti.
moro they simply swept the city, e~lecting the

with the Chances FavoriuE Gabbert-
DENVER. Col, Nov. 3.-Twenty-four hours
after tho polls closed the result OF the vote for
Supreme Judge is in doubt, with the chances
favoring Gabbert Pop. -Deml. Hoyt Rep.) comes
out of Arapahoe county with over 6,OOOm majority.
and the strong Populist counties are not giving
Gabbert the majorities expected.
Chairman Richard Broad Silver Rep.) of tho
State Central Committee says: 1--WE claim
Hoyt's election by $500 votes. 1t has been the
effort of the committee to be conservative in its
estimates all along. You can say. however. that
the contest is a very close one. Returns are
coming in slowly and in many instances are for
some reason erroneous"
Chairman D.. L. Mills of the Populist State
Central Committee says: "In my opinion.
backed up by the returns received, Gabbert is
elected by a majority ranging from 5000 to
5000. Later returns rather tend to increase
than decrease the figures. 1t has been conceded
by the politicians of all parties that Hoyt must
go out of ArapahOe county with 1000 majority
In order to reach the outside counties with q
safe margin to work on. This he has failed
to do"
To-day Chairman Milton Smith of the Demo-
cratic State Central Committee telegraphed to
Gabbert that he had beaten Hoyt by at least
1000.

BRYANITEs WIN IN NEBRAsKA.
The Fusion State Ticket Is Elected by from
10, 900 TO IA, 900.

-opSoO ~
LINCOLN. Neb., Nov. 3.-Complete returns OF
yesterdays election have been received from 81
Of the 90 counties OF the State, which give Sulli-
van, Silver candidate for Supreme Judge. 10000
plurality.
The counties heard from include nearly all of
the former Republican strongholds. and the re-
naming counties will undoubtedly increase tho
plurality of the BryaniteI. Chairman Edmiston
OF the Populist State Committee says he has
estimates from twenty other counties which
justify him In claiming a plurality o. 10000.
Chairman Mercer of the Republican, state
Comm ttee contends TINT the Fusionist plurality
Will not go above 10000. and no hopes TO save
tho Republican nominees for Regents of the
State University. He insists that the claim that
this indicates that free silver is not cad Is not
well founded. The stay.at home vote, particu-
larry In tho cities, was largely Republican,.
no said, and the loot OF largo sums Of
money by former State officials, Republicans,
created a ointment that they found II difficulty
In overcoming. The attempt to, make IL appear
that a Republican victory in Nebraska, meant
the retirement of Bryan as a future Presidential
possibility also reused that grntleman's large
personal following and kept many in line who
would otherwise have voted with the Republic
cans.
1t will be at least two days before full returns
from all the counties in the State will DO OBJ
t~ainable, but everything indicates that the
! Fusion majority win not fall below 1000.

As "A Livery Stable.

An interesting question was recently de-
cided by the Commissioners upon the sub
tect of livery stables. 1t seems that In the
early part of 1892 a private stable was
erected and used as such up to within a
short time ago, when a livery stable keeper
got possession of the premises and pro-
ceeded 20 use il as a public stable. The
question was, Did he have the right to so
convert the property? The Commissioners,
after conference with their attorney. de-
cided that he could use the property as a
livery stable. provided he obtained the
written consent Of the property owners and
residents. as required by law.
