The Maryland Election.

The Democrats of Maryland can well be
congratulated on their work of last Tuesday.
la 1896 the Republicans carried all of the six
congressional districts and Mckinley had a
majority of over $4,000.
Last Tuesday the Democrats recaptured
in 124 votes of winning another and reduced
the Republican majority in fourth by 5000
votes and came within 400 votes of winning.
The 1000 majority for Mckinley dwindled
to about 5000, nearly all of which was in
the fifth and sixth districts.
A notable fact is that the city of Baltimore
went Democratc-that is, the Democrats
polled more votes in Baltimore than the Re-
publicans.
In view of the fact that the Republicans
were well intrenched in power, having con
troll of the national and state administrations
and of the municipal governm ent of Bati
more, the result is one upon which the Demo-
cratic party can be congratulated. And when
it is further considered that while the Demo
cratic committees we've nearly poverty-strick-
en-, the Republicans had all the money they
needed and the Mckinley Administration was
lending all the assistance it could, the Demo
Gratis made great fight.
Another pull, and Maryland will be landed
in the Democratic column. Next spring
there is likely to be great revolution in Bal
timore at the municipal election, and that will
encourage the Democracy of the counties.

The Result in Carroll.

The result in Carroll is very disappointing.
In only two voting places in the county did
the Democrats do their duty-in Uniontown
district and the second precinct of Westmin.
ster district. The county could and should
have been carried for Mr.. Tippett, and had it
been, even by five votes, Mr.. Tppett would
have been elected.
All conditions were favorable to Demo
cratic success. Hundreds of Republicans are
heartily tired of Mr.. Baker and of the domi.
nation of the Clabaugh- Sharrer machine. In
order to give the Democrats fair field many
had concluded to remain at home and others
to vote direct for Mr.. Tippett. This was
done, but the Democrats stayed at home or
toyed with their ballots and threw away the
the opportunity of carrying the county and
electing Mr.. Tppett, as we'll as dealing blow
at the Republican machine in Carroll.
Mr.. Tippett was the regular nominee and
man who would have made a creditable
Congressman. 1t is true he kicked one plank
out of the platform, but as there can be no
legislation looking to the restoration of silver
as money of final redemption as long as
Mckinley is President no bimetallsts should
have refused to support him. They erred
greatly when they did. They not only let an
opportunity go by when by their votes they
could have redeemed the second congress
sional district, and sent Representative to
Washington to stand up against imperia ism,
but they have encouraged the Republicans Of
Carroll, when defeat would have disheart
ened them. AT the Same time a Democratic
victory would have sent the party into the
next contest-a very important One-with
courage and confidence.

Close Call for Quay.

PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 9.-The next Penn
sylvania Legislature, which meets in January
and elects successor to United States Sena-
tor Quay, will consist of 254 members ON joint
ballot, 1913 votes being necessary to elect
Senator.
The friends of Senator Quay claim today
that they have 131 votes on joint ballot for
Mr.. Quay, three more than is necessary to
elect This estimate they say is independent
of the members favorable to Senator Magee in
Allegheny county and the followers of David
Martin in Philadelphia.
The anti-Quay people in this city dispute
these figures and claim that they have elected
sufficient members of the Assembly to defeat
the reelection of Senator Quay. Senator
Quay in telegram from his home this morn
ing conceded the election of two Democrats
to the Legislature from his home county of
Beaver by 400 majority. This is Demo
cratic gain. .-.,

Now Make Them Public.
From the Philadelphia Ledger.

From the Philadelphia Ledger.
1t is not impossible that General Miles re-
port, together with a number of similar docu-
ments which have been withheld from publ
cation, ''for reasons of state, will be given
out as soon as the election excitement is over.
The administration has shown commendable
prudence in retaining from active participa-
ton in the political campaign, but it could
not be expected to put ammunition in the
hands of its opponents, and there is reason to
believe that these reports contain large
amount Of matter that could be used to the
detriment of the Republican ticket. With
the passing of the campaign, this reason for
keeping the documents secret ceases, and their
publication is not likely to do much harm,
while it will come with better grace if done
voluntarily than if delayed until it is forced by
a congressional investigation. The public
can wait for it the more patiently, because the
newspaper reports, which, while wrongly
founded in some instances and exaggerated in
others, and still accurate in the main, keep it
fairly we'll informed as to the true character
of the matters i'll question.

Negro Lynched in Illinois.

LAcoY, ILL.,, Nov. 8.-The first lynehng
in Central Illinois in many years took place
here early yesterday morning, when 100 mi
ners from Toluca, mining town short dis
lance east of here broke into the county Jail,
took out F. w. Stewart, Toluca negro, and
hanged him to tree.
Stewards crime was assault ON Friday even
ing upon Mary 0'Brien, the daughter of one
of the Toluca miners. Although many in
Lacon deplore the lynching there is general
impression that negro was punished as he de-
served, and no special effort is being made to
discover the identity of the lynchers. The
sheriff seems to think public sentiment would
not justify him in making strenuous efforts to
capture them.

No Work For Americans In Porto
Rico.

Mr. Hanna, American consul at Porto Rico,
in a report to the State Department, says
II am convinced that young men seeking
work or positions of any kind should not come
to Porto Rico. Such persons as clerks, car
penters, mechanics and laborers of all grades
stay away from here. No American should
come here expecting to strike it rich and
no person should come here without plenty
of money to pay board bills and enough to
take him back to his home in the United
States. This is small island, has popula-
ton of about million people, and is the
most densely populated country in the world.
There are several hundred thousand Porto
Ricans ready to supply the demand for labor,
and at price.

Two years ago Barber, Republican, had a
plurality of SIS Last Tuesday John Walter
Smith, Democrat, had a plurality of 933, al
though there was an Independent or Free Sill

votes.
In the third district, Baltimore city, Dir.
Booze, Republican, had nearly 1000 plurality
Schwatka, Democrat, was defeated last Tues
day by but l24 votes. Fraud is alleged and
Schwatka will likely contest Wachter's cleo
ton.
In the fourth district, Baltimore city in
1896 McIntire, Republican, had plurality
of over S.40O Last Tuesday Maj. Denny,
Democrat, had plurality of 597.
Sydney Mudd, Republican, was reelected
in the fifth district by 2,55l, nearly 1000 less

Pearre, Republican was elected III the
sixth district, by 4,59S, an increase Of about
600 over the majority given to Mcdonald, Re
publican in 1896.

Col Jaokson's Experience as a Re-
publican.

Col. Wilbur F. Jackson, brother of the
Ex-Governor, went from the Democratic to
the Republican party about three years ago,
but he has had unpleasant experience in that
organization. Because he has a "bar'l'' he
was nominated for State Senator in Dorches-
ter county last year, and although the county
is Republican he was badly defeated, This
year he was nominated for Congress and has
Just been defeated
Col. Jackson's ''bar'l'' is not as large us it
was, but he knows more than he did. 1t is
not likely that the Republicans will get
another chance soon at Col Jackson's "bar =

To Contest the Third.
Baltimore News. NoY. 9.

Chairman Vandiver of the Democratic
State Committee said this forenoon that DR..
J. B. Schwatka would contest. Mr.. Vandiver
said that he had already secured evidence
enough to show that frauds had been commit
ed in the First and Third wards and that
fraudulent votes had been cast for the Repub.
lican candidate in other parts of the district.
In one instance, Mr.. Vandiver said, he had
evidence that 20 fraudulent votes were cast
for Mr.. Wachter, and that smaller numbers
had been cast in other precincts.
Several Third district Democrats who were
at headquarters said that certain returns were
held back in the Third ward last night for
fraudulent purposes, and that an investigation
would show that DIR. Schwatka was really
elected by over 500 plurality.
Mr.. Vandiver says that he will continue the
investigation he has begun, and that at the
proper time notice of the contest will be duly
served on Mr.. Wachter.
