amount. Mrs. Odell has apparently not
received in Greater New York as many
Democratic votes as the national candi-

Baltimore, Nov. 6.-President Mckinley
carried Baltimore city by a majority Of
$3.50. The returns from the counties are
meager, but Official advices from 81 scat
tered precincts out of 354 give him 1888,
as against 16,197 for Bryan thus assur-
ing him a majority Of at least 100D in

has been thorough and surprising it be-
ing certain that they have lost five oe
the six congressman with the probable
tiles in favor of clean sweep by the
loss Of the other. The doubtful district
is the Second. in which Congressman J.
Fred C. Talbot is the Democratic can
didate and A. A. Blankeney the Repub-
lican aspirant The returns, with one
precinct missing, show a majority ior
Blankeney. and it is regarded as highly
probably that he is elected. This means

Smith. who was elected in the First re-
signed soon afterward to become gov
