MARYLAND OUTLOOK STILL HOPEFUL
The Republican outlook in Maryland continues to
be bright. A few of the Cold Democrats OF that
State who were working with the Republicans in
1895 have gone back to Bryan. but on the other
hand many of the younger Democrats are said 70
be coming to the Republican side. Mary

was big change for that State. but there is good
reason to believe that the State this year will re-
peat its act of four years ago.

rather than satisfying. While apparently averse
to giving consideration to the money question, ne

parties take the same view of the currency that
they did in 1885, Catching Mr.. Bryan putting ques-
tons to the Republicans, Theodore Roosevelt has
made reply. and has asked in turn what Mr..
Bryan's financial policy would be were he elected

FIGURING ON BALTIMORE-The completion
of the work of registration. showing an enrolment
of 1885 voters has set the party managers at
both Republican and Democratic headquarters to
figuring the results of the election in Baltimore
City. 1t is conceded by both that the party re-
ceiving ffty-seven thousand votes will carry the
city by a small margin. 1t is generally believed
that there are between seven thousand and eight
thousand voters registered who will not come out

the regular Democratic vote forty-fve thousand.
To this he adds three thousand Gold Democrats

AcCessionS from Gold Democrats of four years ago

and it is expected that a least half of the four
thousand new voters who. ii is said are on the
books will vote the Democratic ticket. This would
give a total of ffty-seven thousand Democratic
votes. not including recruits from the German vote
and disaffected Republicans.
