MARYLAND GOES REPUBLICAN
MUDD FOR U. s. SENATOR.
Majority of $685. on State Ticket
Against 80, 232 Last Year.
The Legislature Republican in Both
Branches.

The election in Maryland on Tuesday
attracted much interest throughout the
country as well as at home, as the Legis
lature to be chosen elected a successor to
Senator A. p German.
The contest in number of counties
was so close that results were not known
until the official returns were made up on
Thursday. and show on their face that the
Republicans have a majority of the Senate
and of the House and majority on joint
ballot of 17-1O in the Senate and IN
the House.
Baltimore city went Republican for city,
state and legislative tickets On the
state ticket the majority was 7,7l0. The
counties showed Democratic majority Of
745.
Master, for Mayor of Baltimore, de-
feated Williams by $3.50, and Hoffman,
for Sheriff, defeated McNulty by 1892.
The Republicans elected their candidates
for clerks of the courts, register of wills
and additional judge. The majority on
the state ticket in Baltimore is 7,7l0,
decrease from last year of about 1000.
Below are tables showing the vote by
counties ON the state ticket and how the
Legislature will stand The vote, it will
be observed, was very close in a number
of counties and the vote on 1sEgislatiye
candidates was even closer.
Maryland Vote
The Democratic advocate. [volume] (Westminster, Md.) 1865-1972, 1897-11-06
New style Of voting.

Every person who voted last Tuesday must
have been disguised with the new system of
voting, 1t is not only expensive but is an
noying and hindering to citizens in the exer-
else Of the highest right of citizenship.
Instead of secresy of the ballot, as the law
was alleged to secure. the oath of secresy has
been removed from those who mark the bal
lots of illilerates, aud the partisan watchers
who are allowed in the voting rooms can
easily tell by the length Of time voter stays
in booth whether or not he is cutting his
ticket Under the old system voter could
east secret ballot, in accordance with his
wishes or desires, He could procure bis
ticket in advance, fold it and put it it his
pocket and 90 and vote without anyone
knowing for whom he voted. The present
system. too. is very expensive, in addition to
being annoying to voters. It ought to be
wiped from the statute books.
The Democratic advocate. [volume] (Westminster, Md.) 1865-1972, 1897-11-06
The Result in Carroll.

Tuesdays election showed that Carroll is
still Democratic county.
The Republicans carried it on the state
ticket in 1895 bv 1856 majority. and in 1896
by go plurality.
This was the result of the misrepresenta-
ton upon the part Of two alleged Democratic
papers in Baltimore. which created dissatis-
action in the Democratic ranks. This year
their deceit and hypocrisy became apparent,
the Democrats returned to their banner and
rolled up a Democratic majority OF ll6,
which is nearly the full Democratic majority
in the county.
But for open hostility to parts Of the ticket
by Office holders and ex-oiiice holders-men
who have Jared well at the hands Of the
Democratic party-ibe whole ticket would
have been elected by good majorities. Had
they worked as earnestly for the ticket as they
slabored against it. the Democratic majority
would have been nearly two hundred for
every man on the ticket. Such shameless
exhibition Of ingratitude was perhaps never
Known in Carroll before. And these men
were not content to use their personal infu-
enee to carry out their purposes, but used
money to defeat Democrats that had in the
past labored earnestly TO secure place and
position for them.
Their efforts and their cash, the latter most
likely coming from the State Republican
Committee, proved unayailing, except against
Mr.. N. W. Steele, Democrat who has con-
Yerted Republican majority Of about forty
in his district to Democratic majority Of
one hundred and fifty-a man by whose efforts
the Democratic ticket was saved from COM
plete defeat in 1895 and whose efforts secured
nominal. at least, Democratic control of the
Maryland Senate in 1896.
And the meauest part of the whole attack
upon Mr. Steele was that it was personal.
Men who we're supposed to be actuated by
principle in political matters; men who were
supposed to he followers of the teachings of
jefferson and jackson. let passion govern
their actions and failed the party in its hour
Of greatest need. Under the CLOAK OF De-
Jnocracy they stabbed the party. and turned
down the most active and vigilant party
worker in the county.
AR. Steele can better endure his defeat
than can those who stabbed him stand the
storm Of Indignation their actions aroused.
Ingratitude is the meanest Of human passions,
and it will take long time for the mass of
Democrats to forget those who exhibited it
last Tuesday.

Oh silent grave to thee we trust

Until we, her children, ask for room.

Significant.

A change of eight votes in Caroline, 80 in
Montgomery and II in Talbot would have
made the Senate stand Is Republicans and
il Democrats, and the House 30 Democrats
and Al Republicans Democratic majority
on joint ballot of 5.
This is what change Of SO votes in three
counties VouId have done.

The scramble to be Mr.. Germans sue
cessor will now begin. Lowndes, Gary,
Findlay, McComas and Mudd are candi-
dates. Mudd is the logical candidate,
and he looks the most formidable.
All three of the Democratic Judges,
Stump, Martin and Pearce, are elected in
the Second Judicial Circuit, and in the
Seventh Circuit, one Democrat, Mitchell,
and Republican, Merrick, are elected.
Judge l. Thomas Jones, Democrat, was
elected in the Fifth District without oppo-

circuit John c. Motter. Republican, was
elected over Keedy, Democrat. Judges
were not voted for in any other circuits.

Those Twenty Millions.

Those twenty millions Of dollars that, ac

more as soon as Mckinley was elected, have
not materialized Now that Master has been
elected, by the aid of $4,000 negro votes, the
money ought to be forthcoming. II will not
come from the North, however, for no Northern
capitalist ever invested money where negro
votes controlled the political situation. With
cut the negro vote Baltimore would be Demo.
cratic by $4,000 votes, Notwithstanding the
disafeetion of large class of white people
who have heretofore been masquerading as
Democrats.

Twenty Five thousand of Masters support
ers in Baltimore consisted of non-taxpayimg
negroes and tax lodging Independents. If
the tax rate goes to $1,000 on the $4,000
they will not be disturbed. The one class
pays no taxes, and the other pays on only
about one fourth of their actual worth.

In the Office of every Democratic county
journal of Maryland is kept list of those dis
tinguished Baltimoreans who knitted the
Democratic ticket in 1895, 1896 and 1897
The list will be held for future reference,

men are wise they will not seek honors where

Very Successful

The SIM and Ne,es pleaded strongly for
the people to vote for the civil service amend
ment to the constitution. Result-scarcely
half the voters in Baltimore voted on the ques-
ton at all, and the majority against it was
S5, $50. The amendment was forgotten all
over the state, otherwise the majority against
it would have been over 100000. The peo-
pie of Maryland do not believe in life tenure
in Office, however much they believe in exami-
nations as to fitness for public duties.

Great is the Disappointment.

The election of Mr.. Brooks is severe blow
to the Clabaugh -Sharrer faction in Carroll.
They did not want TO nominate him, but he
was put upon the ticket in order to secure
harmony to such an extent that the legislative
ticket might, at least, be pulled through.
Instead, however, threeOfthe legislative ticket
were defeated, aud Mr. Brooks was successful.
Great is the chagrin and disappointment of
the Clabaugh -Sharrer faction. Could the re-
suit have been foreseen it is quite certain that
Mr.. Brooks would have been knitted to the
death.

In Ohio.

In the contest in Ohio this year the Demo
Gratis made fight on the st. Louis platform.
They declared for free coinage Of silver and
gold, at a ratio of Is to l, and against gold
recommendation. On this issue last year the
Republican majority was 81, lO9. Last Tues
day, with Mark Hanna and his barrel in the
fight, the Republican majority was about
$4,000 and the Democrats came very close
TO capturing the Legislature.

Republican success in Baltimore two years

they must deal in Republican town they
