as heretofore stated The Tribune there are two
Democratic candidates. The Executive COMMITTEES
in the With District has decided that the sitting

The Republicans Of Baltimore are in excellent
spirits the registration figures. which promise
well for the party vote. There is little question
that the registration largely favOrs the Repuoh-
cans. and Investigations show that many members
OF the party who failed to register last year have
had their names placed the books preparatory
to voting on November s. This is the case with
the coIored vote and IL is safe assert that
Iy all the colored men in Maryland viii vote for
Mckinley. Altogether, the outlook at the present
time is so decidedly favorable 10 the Republican
ticket that it would surprise one, whether Dem
ocrat or Republican to see Maryland give as large
a majority for Mckinley as that Of 1886. when, in
addition six Republicans were elected TO the House
of Representatives
