Baltimore, Nd, Nov. S.-MaryIapd
Is again Democratic State, by 10000
majority ON Republican official nd
missions and by 15.000 on Democratic
claims Tho jubilation OF the Demo.
Gratis Of this city last spring when they
elected Mr. Hayes, their candidate for
mayor, was but "a drop in the bucket"
compared with the wild shouts of
victory that rent the air last night as
return after return came in with the
steady announcement of gains that
forecast great Democratic triumph
The tide swelled so rapidly that by
10 O'Clock Col. Thomas j. Sbyrock,
State Treasurer, and chairman Of the
Republican State Committee, con-
coded the Democrats the victory by
10000 majority, at least.
Gen. Felix Agnus of the Baltimore
American, telegraphed President Me-
Klnley that because of bad manage
ment of the Republican campaign,
Baltimore had given the Democratic
State ticket u majority of 10000 and
that the counties have given Domo-
cratic majority Of 5000, a total ma
jorty OF $4,000 in the State.
The returns from the State are yery
neagre, but show substantial Demo-
cratic gains and indicate that Smith,
D., for governor, will have at least
5000 majority outside Of Baltimore
that the Lower House of the General
Assembly is surely Democratic by q
good majority, and that the Demo.
Gratis will probably control tie State
Senate. The Sun estimates Smiths
majority in the city at 12,0O0 and in
the State $4,000.
Following is a statement made last
night at 10 o'clock, by Gen. Thomas
j. Shyrock, chairman of the Repupli :
can State Central Committee:
Returns received up to this time
Indicate that Baltimore city has given
Mr. Smith, D., candidate for governor,
5000 plurality over Gov. Lowndes.
wicomioc, the only county heard from
UP to this time, gives Smith 300
plurality. The other counties of the
State may swell Mr.. Smiths plurality
to 10000. | attribute our defeat tc a
fight against the negro and disaffeotion
in the Republican ranks
II predict that an attempt will be
made at the coming session of the
Legislature to disfranchise the negro. -
Late scattering returns from the
State show heavy Democratic gains,
even in counties that gave large Re-
publican majorities in 1895 and 1897.
Coy Lowndes' plurality of 11.600 in
1S9l, when the Republicans carried the
State for the first time in 30 years, is
not only completely wiped out, but the
Democrats appear to be pilipg up their
old-time majorities. Incomplete re-
turns from Baltimore city all show
heavy Democratios gains, and it ap-
pears that Smith, D., for governor,
will carry the city by from 10000 to
l2O0o, a much larger plurality than
that given Thomas G. Hayes, D., for
mayor in the municipal e,ection last
May.
The Eastern Shore tCol. Smiths
Congressional districtl will give him a
large plurality for governor.
