The DEMOCRATS LOSE IN BALTI'
MoRE.-The first important election
under the new ballot law was held 10
Baltimore yesterday for the purpose OF
choosing a new city council. But little
interest was taken 10 1t by any one ex-
cept the professional politicians, and
light vote was polled. The republi.
cans, Notwithstanding a falling of oil
the negro vote, elected II members out
of "a OF the first branch of the city
council and elected four members Of
the second branch to be elected this
year, four members holding over, all OF
whom are democrats. The president
of the branch, also q democrat. slso
holds over. This will give the democrats
continued control by the vote oftbe pre-
siding officer. The democrats did not
vote their full strength, the apathy be-
ing caused by the friction between the
Hayes administration forces and the
followers of I. Freeman Rssin, Senator
Germans lieutenant In Baltimore. The
employees at the city ball were not per-
mitted to contribute toward the cam
paign fund. consequently the workers
were few and far between. The repub'
licans worked hard even In wards
thought to be solidIy democratic. The
mayors ward, in which he exer
cised bis influence tacitly for the repub
licau ticket, went against him, his arch
enemy 10 the council, w. Star Gephart
winning. The nineteenth ward, the
home of the mayors lieutenant, James
Doyle, warden of the jail, also went
against the city administration.

MR.. MONTAGUE REPLIES.

Attorney General Montague 10 Rich
mond yesterday evening gave out an
interview In reply to Senator Martin's'
given out on Monday at Charlottes-
vile.
"Iu my Manchester speech" says
Mr.. Montague, II did not charge
Senator Martin With opening head.
quarters in Richmond, nor OF being at
Mr.. Swanson's quarters, go the Senator
has been either misinformed or is evad
ing the issue. He himself said In q
quoted interview 10 the Richmond
News, March 10, that he proposed to
take as active part % he was capable
OF taking for Mr.. Swanson in bis
gubernatorial campaign. / charged 10
my speech that the Senator was
doing the very thing that he said be
was going to do. Since the adiournmen'
OF Congress he has spent about as much
time In Richmond as Mr.. Swanson, but
says that his defeat would mean the
Senator'S defeat. The papers through
out the State, editorially and reporters
ly, for weeks past have charged bin
with personally advising aad managing
the campaign for Mr.. Swanson. HI
has thus far made no denial. 10 add
ton to this, the Senator was actively
engaged in securing the adoption By
the Richmond committee OF the minor
ity plan, which is essentially and plainly
unjust. TIE Senator sent for members
of this committee to see him at thu
Westmoreland Club, and otherwise
used his influence to secure the adop
ton of this measure. 80 the question
OF head uarters' Is rather Q play upor
words. General. Malone had no head
quarters 10 Richmond; he had Q room
however, In which he could meet hi'
friends. The place OF meeting between
Mr.. Martin and Mr.. Swanson Is, there
fore, immatsrial."
