MARYLAND AGAIN DEMOCRATIC.

Smith Elected Governor and the Demo
Gratis Control the Legislature.
Baltimore, Nov. 8.-lncomplete re-
turns from the city Of Baltimore and
meagre reports from the state indicate
that the Republicans of Maryland have
been overwhelmingly defeated, and
that John Walter Smith, the Democrat
&c candidate, has been elected COVER
nor by majority variously estimated
from 10000 to $4,000. There is also a
reasonable certainty that the lower
house of the general assembly will be
Democratic by large majority. and
that the Democrats will elect enough
state senators to overcome the Rspub-
lican advantage among the hold-over
senators. thereby controlling both
branches of the legislature.
The Democrats have carried the
three legislative districts in Baltimore
city, and the probabilities are that they
will have rs members In the lower
house of the general assembly, while
the Republicans appear to have elected
but IL. The senate will be very close.
with the chances slightly favoring the
Democratic claim Of majority of two.
On the face Of the returns the Repub-
licans have carried but I'VE counties In
the state, viz: Allegheny, Charles, Gar
rett, Anne Arundel and Somerset. Five
others are doubtful. These are Car
roll, Dorchester, Prince Georges, st.
Mary's and Calvert The Democrats
have carried beyond reasonable doubt
the remaining 10, including Frederick
and Washington, by majorites ranging
from 1900 in Baltimore county and
1000 in Worcester, down to q very
close margin In some of the others.
The Democrats are wild with enthu-
siasm. while the Republicans are cor
respondlngly depressed over the result,
which they are inclined to attribute to
treachery among the followers Of
Mayor Master and United States Sena-
tor George l.. wellington. The latter
has taken no part In the campaign,
and has not hesitated, since his resiE-
nation az chairman Of the state central
committee few weeks ago, to pre-.
dict the overwhelming defeat Of the
Republican ticket.
A special from Cumberland to the
Baltimore Sun quotes Senator We'll
lington as saying that this was one Of
the happlest days of his life. The
senator added:

Republicans Claim the State by Ten
Thousand Plurality.
Louisville. Nov. Sat midnight
Chairman Long, of the Republican
campaign committee, claimed that
General Taylor had carried the state
by from 10000 to 1900 plurality. He
says that Taylor has carried the Third,
Fourth, Fifth. Ninth and Eleventh con-
sressional districts, while the Eighth
and Tenth are close. The Republicans
have made heavy gains in most all OF
the Democratic stfongholds, which
were expected to give Goebel large ma
jorities. Chairman Long claims the
Republicans have carried the city of
Louisville by from 5000 to 5000 ma
jority. Returns received up to mid
night also indicate the election of the
entire Republican ticket, while the
complexion of the legislature is in
doubt. The weather throughout the
state was perfect and more than an
average vote was polled, the total fall
ing but little short Of the vote in the
last presidential election. Compare
lively little disorder prevailed, and
aside from several arrests for alleged
violations of election laws, the cleo
ton was characterized by a remark
able degree Of quietude.
The Courier-Journal Dem.) from its
figures. says the result is in doubt, but
the Post (Dem.), which has opposed
Goebel. claims Taylor's election by
10000.
Senator Blackburn and others at
Goebel headquarters at midnight ad-
mitted the returns from many Demo-
cratic counties are disappointing, but
claim this is partially Offset by private
dispatches from the Eleventh district,
indicating falling off in the Repub-
lican vote. Blackburn now claims
GOebel will win by 5000. This is
reduction Of $4,000 as compared with
claims made two hours earlier.

Lincoln, Nov, 8.-It is evident to both
parties in yesterdays fight that Ne
braska has repledged her allegiance to
the fusion standard. While Republi-
cans are not yet willing to admit de-
feat, early figures point that way.
There has been steady falling off of
the vote of both parties, but, While the
fusionists have suffered but lightly, the
Republican loss has been not less than
three to a precinct II the present
ratio is maintained Governor Holcomb

TROOPS IN KENTUCKY.
Governor Bradley Orders Out the
Men Of the Louisville Legion.
VISITED THE POLLING PLACES.

There Was Nothing For Them to Do,
and the Only Excitement Caused Was
BY tho Presence Of tbs Bluecosts.
Found Everything Quiet.
Louisville, Nov. Sat 8 o'clock last
night Colonel G. G. Msngei received
orders from Governor Bradley to send
to the polls At once the Louisville Le-
gfon, which had been under arms ut
its armory all day In readiness for a
call. Up to this time the election had
been one OF the Quietest ever known
here. A few arrests for alleged inter-
ference with voters were made, but
there was less than the usual amount
Of friction between the workers for
the respective candidates. When the
polls closed, at o'clock, the inspec-
tor representing the interests of the
Brown ticket appeared and demanded
admtttance to watch the count. This
was done under mandatory injunction
issued by Judge Terry, Of the circuit
court, shortly before noon, restrain
ing the city authorities and officers Of
election from interfering with the
Brown inspectors. About the middle
Of the afternoon the Republicans Sc
cured similar order for their inspec-
tors, on representations that they we're
threatened with interference
In a number Of places the inspectors
were refused recognition, and Cover
nor Bradley's order for troops to 90 to
the polls was made upon a statement
by Judge Toney, reciting this state
OF affairs.
The men were ready, and within \
few miutes began to form about the
armory. Belts were loaded up with
ball cartridges, and every man had his
bayonet fixed.
Colonel Mengel, who was in uniform
for the first time since the regiment
was .aced in readiness for call, as
snmed command. As soon az the order
became known Sheriff Bell FASTENED
to the armOry and protested against
the calling out of the troops, on the
ground that there had been no dis
order and no trouble. and that there
was no occasion for action by the state
authorities that Judge Toney had not
made any representations to him, the
sheriff, as peace officer Of the county.
that there had been any interference
with his order.
Colonel Mengel replied that he was
acting under instructions from Cover
nor Bradley.
Shortly after 7 o'clock orders to
march were given. Companies B, c
and D swung into Main street and
started on the double quick for the
lower quarters of the city, in the west
end. They visited polling places en-
route, and inquired into the treatment
of the representatives of all the par
ties. Everything was found quiet,
however. and the bluecoats were
marched back to headquarters. The
only excitement noticeable was that
occasioned by the presence Of the SOL
diers. Meanwhile the count was pro-
ceeding in all the voting places of

CObra's Fatal Bite,

One OF the deadliest snakes in India Is
the cobra, which claims hundreds of VIC
tins every year. General Campbell once
saw one bite fowl, and, being curious to
learn how long the venom took to act, he
timed It with his watch. The moment
the cock was touched 1t screamed, but at
once ran off to its mates and began pick
ing as il nothing were wrong. In 80 Sec
onds the comb and wattles changed from
red to black. In two minutes II began to
stagger and fell down in commissions,
struggling violently until 1t died three
minutes and half after II had been bit
ten. On plucking the fowl a wound not
bigger than n pin prick was found Mt the
extreme end Of the wing. Round this
spot the color was very dark. but the rest
of tho birds body, excepting comb and
wattps, was Of a natural color.-Minne.

BARNETT WINS IN PENNSYLVANIA.
His Plurality Over Creasy Is Esti-
mated at 180, 403.

His Plurality Over Greasy Is Esti-
mated at l8s,4s3. ~
Philadelphia. Nov. g. Estimates
dictate the pluralities for Barnett (Rep.)
over Greasy (Dem.) over 10000. In
some counties the estimates were nee
essarily based on meager information,
and complete returns may change the
figures here given.
In nearly all Of the counties Barnett,
the Republican candidate for state
treasurer, ran behind the rest Of his
ticket.
In 1897, when Swallow Qnd.) car
ried ten counties in the state, the
plurality of Beacon (Rep) was 129.-
TT. and In 1895 the plurality for Hay
wood (Rep) was 174,264.
Complete returns from the forty
wards in this city give Barnett (Rep).
for state treasurer. a plurality over
Greasy (Dem.) of So ,407. against plu-
rality Of 74,548 for Haywood, the Re-
publican candidate in 1895. and plu-
rality of 70.953 for Beacon (Rep.) in
1897. The total vote cast yesterday
was 160,440. against 158,58s in 1895,
and 145, 047 in 1897. The citys $4,000
900 loan bill was favored by an over
whelming majority of the votes cast.
Republican State Chairman Reeder
said this morning:
Colonel Barnett's majority In the
state will be 100000. The majority in
Allegheny will be about 10000, and in
the state, exclusive Of Philadelphia
and Allegheny, about $4,000. The other
candidates will run somewhat ahead
of Barnett. as the opposition within
our own party has been concentrated
on Colonel Barnett"
In an interview Senator Penrose
said
at seems to be a staunch Republic

strong endorsement Of the national ad-
ministration. We are all gratified at
the splendid endorsement of Colonel

views on the Philippine question, says:
II am delighted with the Philippine

out the Aguinaldo Instruction. Out
of 100000 people in these islands, I
do not think that he has more than
10000 soldiers, and in square fight
5000 Americans would tear them to
pieces. All that is necessary to crush
them out ct once Is for the army
to get at them, and keep at them until
the work is done. The evil features
Of these islands have been exagger-
