i Election at Rockville.
Special Dispatch to The Evening Star. ...~
ROCKVILLE, Md, November 5-The
election in Rockville is passing off quietly.
AT 1 o'clock about half Of the vote was
In, and the indications were that the usual
vote would be polled. Reports from other
districts Of the county, however, point to
a heavy stay home vote.
1t is impossible to form any idea with
what success the illiterates are meeting
with In their attempts to mark their tickets.
Ihey claim that they experience no diff
coity. but the general opinion is that a
very large number of ballots will be thrown
out. The republicans are using no money,
Wnlle the democrats are apparently getting
a large portion of the floating vote by the
use of funds. Every one is at sea as to the
probable result. 1t is not thought that the
result In the county will be learned until
long after midnight. the count under the
new election law being very slow.
Later Returns in Baltimore.
BALTIMORE, November 5.
Fully 10 per cent of the registered vote
has been cast at o'clock, with indications
that the democrats have made such gains
In the city and state as to insure the elec-
ton of their ticket. While there is some
doubt as to the result in the city, there
seems to be but little in the counties, all
advices indicating democratic victory in
the doubtful districts. The republicans are
inclined to concede democratic success in
two of the three legislative districts in Bal
tsmore city, and the indications point to q
democratic majority in the legislature,
which means the reelection of Mr.. German
as United States senator.
