hold-overs 10 give them majority on
Joint ballot in the next Legislature.
GoRMAN MAY BE SAFE.
BALTIMORE. November 2.-The Re-
publicans have elected their municipal
ticket in Baltimore by majorlties ranging
from 1000 to $780, but the State ticket Is
In doubt, and there Is some reason Tor
believing that the Democrats have car
ried the Legislature, and that United
States Senator German may succeed him
self.
Official returns from the State are or
the most meagre and unsatisfactory char
acter so that even the chairmen OF the
State Central committees hesitate 10 ex-
press an unqualified opinion as TO the
result on the State and legislative tick
els.
A conservative estimate. based on par
tial returns, indicates that the Democrats
have 60 votes on joint ballot. whiie the
Republicans will have 81. The list OF
Delegates and Senator's elected to-day by
each party will probably be as follows:
Republicans s; Anne Arun-
del. A; Baltimore city. 10; Charles. 3;
Frederick, s.. Garrett, 8; Hartford, L;
Prince George, 4; Somerset 3. Total, as
Observation-Disclosures county, 6; Cal
vert. 3; Caroline. 8; Carroll, 4; Cecil, :;
Dorchester, a. Hartford, 4; Howard, z;
Kent. 2: Montgomery, 4; Queen Anne 81
St. Mary's. s: Talbot. 4; WIcomico. 81
washington. 4: worcester 4. Total. 81.
There are u ''holdover' senators, OF
whom 9 are Republicans. and Demo
Gratis. When these are added to the list
Of those chosen to-day, the total will be:
Republicans, 81; Democrats, 50.
AS an Offset to this estimate Chairman
Scott. of the Republican State Central
Committee, has issued the following
statement: al am very well satisfied with
the result so far as heard from. We have
carried Baltimore city. including the
three legislative districts, by at LEAST
5000 majority. and our advices from the
State indicate that the Republicans Will
send a successor TO Mr.. German TO the
United States Senate"

turns received at the Register Office from

twelve Democrats, with two districts In
