Col John Walter Smith and the Dem
at Tuesdays election in Baltimore city
and - counties The Republicans car
ried only eight counties and those by
reduced majorities On joint ballot the
Democrats will have a majority of ID i'll
the General Assembly. On Tuesday
they elected of the II Senators, which,
with the 4 Democratic holdover Sena-
tors, will make -, one more than Il con-
stitutional majority This number is a
fortunate one for them. for if Senator
Clagctt's illness continues the party will
have the necessary Ii votes To pass a
bill of the ~ members of the House
there will be 66 Democrats and - Re-
puhlicans.
In the Fifth Judicial Circuit Associate
Judge l. Thomas Jones. Democrat, is
elected Chief Judge over Judge James
\. G. Bond by a majority of 100. Judge
Bond was recently appointed to the
bench of the Court of Appeals by Gov.
Lowndcs. to succeed the late Judge
Roberts. The election of Judge Jones
will leave the Associate .IudgcShip va
cant. This vacancy may be filled by
Governor Lowndes, and his appointce
would hold the place until the general
election i'll 1901 The Associate Judge
can he appointed from either Howard or
Carroll county, but not from Anne
Arundel.
The Republican loss AT this election
occurred largely i'll the western counties
in the Sixth Congressional district. The
majority of nearly 5000 received by
Congressman Pearre a year ago disap-
pearcd in the storm, and Il determined
onslaught upon Governor Lowndes was
made i'll his own county of Allegany.
Ii is also observed as an interesting
coincidence that Republican disaster
was greatest along the route travelled
by Governor Roosevelt in his speaking
tour through the State. The Eastern
Shore gave an old-time Democratic ma
jority. while III the BLACK belt" coun-
ties. with the exception of Prince
Georges and Anne Arundel, the white
vote was almost Solidly Democratic,
greatly reducing the Republican ma
jority. In st. Marys the revolt against
the Republican leaders amounted to a
revolution, electing the entire Demo
cratic local ticket by large majority
and giving a smaller majority to the
Democratic State ticket In Baltimore
city and the central counties the Re-
publican reverse was scarcely less de-
cisive than in the western, eastern and
southern counties.
