From the baltimore sun.
The general result of yester-
days election i'm Maryland,
while not unexpected, is even
moro emphatic in its character
than the most sanguine Demo
Gratis had anticipated. The Dem
ocratlc victory derives special
significance from the fact that
the excellent official record of
the Republican Gubernatorial
nominee and his high personal
character gave his party the
advantage of a candidate who
seemed likely 20 be more ac-
ceptable 10 independent voters
than any other whom il could
have put forward. Governor

in no way be considered as r.

which represented the untram-
meled will of the party. Apart
from all other influencing caus-
es, the State this year would
have swung back into its nat

bers of their own party as well
as decent citizens of all politi-
cal persuasions. Even had the
Republican party been thor
oughly harmonious and united.
it could not have triumphed in
the face of the profound dis
trust excited by some of its adj

John Walter Smith is too well

stand in need of communication
at this time. His name has
long been familiar to the peo-
pie as one of our most promi-

men. as an able and influential
member of the State Senate
from the Eastern Shore. His
exceptional popularity was
strikingly demonstrated at the
election of last fall. when he
was chosen by a substantial ma
iority as a member of the Ma
tional House of Representa-
tives. an office which will now
become vacant, and which may
be filled at "A special election,

Col. John Walter Smith will
fill the office of Governor with
a dignity which will reflect

ity by which his career rs a
public official has been distin-
guished.

are made in similar fashion, merely
two horizontal bars, little lower than
the single one. To make the swinging
rings, make your uprights longer than
in the other designs, and tie on two
mosquito bar rings with twine.
Now, if you fix the dolls hands to the
rings she will do all kinds of antics,
after little push, but don't be too
rough or dolly will lose her arms. To
make a doll swing, the uprights are
made still longer, two little hooks are
screwed into the horizontal bar, and
then two pieces of strong twine are
run down through the ends of bits OF
wood or cane, which keep dolly from
falling out, while the bottom or seat
of the swing is formed of single light
bit of board or pasteboard.
The twine is knotted under the seat,
and now dolly may swing safely as long
as her mamma wishes. There is u
chance for brothers and sisters to play
together nicely, especially if the boys
will not play too hard for the health
of the dolls.-Cincinnati Commercial
