BALTIMORE, Nov. 2.-The Republi-
cans have elected their municipal ticket in
Baltimore by majorities ranging from
1000 10 5000, but the State ticket is in
doubt and there is just chance that the
Demo ocrats have carried thel Leg stature and
that Senator German may succeed him
self. Official returns from the State are OF
the most meager and unsatisfactory char
acter so that even the chairman of the
State Central Com mittee hesitates to ex-
press an unqualified opinion as 10 the re-
suit on the Slate and Le-is alive tickets.

partials return, in dicate that the Demo-
Gratis will have sixty votes on Joint bal
lot, while the Republicans will have fifty
seven. The list of Delegates and Senators
elected to-day by each party wall proba bly,
be as follows:
Republicans-AIlegheny 6, Anne Atun-
del 4, Baltimore City 10, Charles 3, Frede-
rick 4, 4,Garrett3. 3. Hartford /, Prince Georges

Montgomery 4, Queen Annes 8. st. Mary's
B, Talbot 4, Wicomico 3, Washington 4,
Worces,er4 4. Total 81.
There were twelve holdover Senator'S, of
whom nine are Republican and three
Democrats.
When these are ADDED to the list OF those
chosen to-day the total will be: Repub.
hCan 81, Democrats SO.
As an Offset to this estimate Chairman
Scott of the Republican State Central
Committee issued the following state.

LOUISVI LIE, Nov. 2.-Kentucky has
cratic ranks. Approximately twenty
three precincts in the State give Shackle-
ford Sill. D. IS 4s7, Bailey r. Is, 042. Hind
man Gold D. 1179. All reports show heavy
Democratic gains.
This resul: was not accom- plished, how
ever, without the usual riot which has
come to be characteristic of Kentucky
elections. A special from Frankfort says:
Election day was ushered in by bloody
encounter on the streets between Repub-
licans and Democrats at l O. clock this
morning, resulting in the death OF three
m en- and the wounding OF two or more.
The fficulty began by Frank Egbert, a
Republican,. organizing party to head off
a band of Democrats under the Leadership D
of Dean Marshall, who, Egbert claimed,
had taken mum Der of negroes to the
country to prevent their voting to-day.
Egbert, it is said, with his party awaited
Marshall's return and fired on him from
ambush. woundng him and Smith Sc
riously and slightly iniuring Alexander
Graham a negro.
Depu,y Sheriff Deakins then organized
his party. Egbert appeared on the street
flourishing a revolver. The two parties
met and firing began. Fifty shots or more
we're fired and Egbert was instantly killed,
while Deak!ns was mortally wounded.
Howard Glore, one of Egbert's men. was
also killed, and Walter Gains. negro,
was seriously hurt and it is reported that
he has since died.
The killed thus far are:
Frank Egbert, Republican politician.
Howard Glore, Republican member of
Egbert's crowd.
John Smith, driver of tie Democratic
wagon in which the negroes were hauled
10 the country.
Deputy Sheriff Deakins.
The wounded are:
Charles Graham Mayor, an occupant of
the returning wagon.
Walter White. bystander.
A growing idea tnat the nights riot was
instigated by the prominent politicians
now in AL charged with conspiracy has
terribly aroused The country neighbors OF
the Deputy Sheriff, who lived in a re-
motely wild section OF the country.
A report is current that men were COM
ing tonight to lynch all seven of the
men in Jail on the .round that they had
loaded Egbert with whisky and incited
him to the attack and afterward to the
murder of the Deputy Sheriff. The Gov
ernor has been applied to by the families
of those i'll jail for troops to protect the
jail. No soldiers have oeen ordered out.

decide on those involved in the struggle
between the leaders.
There is no doubt about the constitu-

CINCINNATI, OHIO, Nov. 2.
Governor Bushnell and the en-
tire Republican ticket is elected
in Ohio by about q, 900 plurality.
Later information may increase
the figures here given. The Leg
islature is absolutely safe for the
Republicans on joint ballot, thus
insuring the reelection of Mark
Hanna to the Senate. Cuyahoga
County is Republican by 5000,
and conceding the Democrats
everything which they claim in
the Legislature outside of Cleve-
land, the Republicans still have
majority on joint ballotot seven
votes. The Republican majority
in the Legislature will be from
II to I6.
CHARLES. J. CHRISTIE,
Editor Cincinnati Commercial-
Tribune.
CLEVELAND, OHIO, Nov. 2.
Governor Bushnell has carried
Ohio by a majority of from &c, 900
to IS, 900. This insures the cleo
ton of a Republican majority in
The General Assembly and the
re urn of Marcus A. Hanna to the
United States Senate. In this
city and Cuyahoga County the
Republican ticket has a majority
of from 1000 to 5000, and the
three Republican Senators and
nine Republican Representatives
in the Legislature are elected.
THE LEADER.
The Plain Dealer makes the
following statement at 1890 to-
night:
The Republican Legislative
ticket is running 10 per cent be-
hind the State ticket and the State
ticket is losing in Cleveland an
average of 22 per cent. This de-
fection will reduce the Republican
plurality toa close margin, though
it is probable that the Republican
State and Legislative tickets will
be elected. Sufficient returns are
in to indicate that the Republicans
will carry Cuyahoga County,
Senator Hanna's home, by a
meager. plurality.

department OF Brown, Thomson & Co.
and has gone 10 her home in Vermont.
The night previous to her departure
about thirty of her friends gave her a
surprise party at which a most palatable
supper was served, followed by singing,
declarations, etc. Before separating
Miss Herrin was presented with a num-
Der of valuable presents, including gold
pen and bracelet, enlarged picture of her
self, pocket book, and large bouquet of
roses. At late hour the happy conf
pany departed singing Good night
Ladies" as they went. Miss Herrn has

People are often at loss to know
what to purchase for a Christmas pres

certainly solve the problem by a visit to
Tohn w. Thurston's drug store where
there is an unusually large and attractive
display of useful and dainty, thoughinex-
pensive souvenirs, the various depart
mcnts being replete with good things
for holiday gifts, objects of beauty and
articles of value. This store has been
thronged the past week. A glance will
convince the most undecided purchaser
that here can be procured suitable pres
ents, while prices are so low that they
never fail to make the customer wonder
how so much value can he given for so
little money.
