The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1901-11-07

out for the interests of the party in
canvassing the vote. Together they
made statement in regard to the
outcome of the election. This state
ment read as follows:
I'm the face of the most gigantic
frauds practiced in Maryland since
the election of 1875 we have carried
the whole State and city tickets. We
will easily have the votes necessary
to organize the House of Delegates
and will have either 10 or II Senators
in the other body. The people will
find that the situation, so far as the
Republicans are concerned, will clear
each day until we believe that we will
ultimately have at least SO members
of the lower house. We warn the
people to watch the efforts of the
Democratic leaders TO steal the State
away from them. We are informed
that no method will be left untried
for this purpose, but our people will
be thoroughly alive to the situation,
and, backed by an enlightened pub
lie opinion, we do not fear the results.
We both believe the result to have
been one of the grandest achieve
ments in the history of politics in
Maryland. think that the person
or party who now believes that Mary
land will allow any trifling with the
ballot privileges is very extraordi-
nary sort of person. The people of
this State are just as sure to avenge
the curtailment of their liberty of
franchise as they are to breathe.
REPUBLICANS CARRY CITY.
Baltimore city has given the Re-
publican candidates about 5000 plu-
rality, based on the aggregate of the
Legislative ticket, but it is impossible
to give the official figures owing to
delays in counting the vote.
The three Legislative districts are
Republican on the total vote, but the
Democrats have probably elected two
members of the House from the Sec
ond district. The Third district is
overwhelmingly Republican and the
First distrist is Republican by a safe
plurality.
Yesterday morning the Democrats
abandoned hope of saving anything
from the wreck, but later reports
showed gains in the Second district,
and they began to claim one or more
members of the House. With three
precincts to hear from, Senator Put
Eel has carried the district by 314
votes. The three precincts are all
Democratic, but it is hardly expected
that this plurality can be wiped out.
A tabulation of the vote of the dis
trict was made at the office of the
Supervisors of Elections during the
day and showed the figures given
above.
RETURNS SLOW COMING IN.
Returns from the counties of Mary
land are necessarily slow, and the
closeness of the vote in numder of
the contested counties will make full
returns necessary to determine which
party will control in the Legislature.
There is little doubt that the Repub-
lican State ticket is elected, and this
fact indicates possibility of the Re-
publican Legislative tickets winning
in sufficient number to give control
on joint ballot.
The counties that are certain for
the Republican column are Allegany,
Calvert, Cecil, Charles, friedrich,
Garrett, Kent, Somerset, st. Mary's
and Washington. Republicans have
gained Delegate here and there in
the close counties, sufficient to give
them 40 members of the House at
least. Word comes from st. Mary's
county that half the Republican bal
lots cast there were thrown out be-
cause of alleged defects.
In Talbot the Republicans elect
Robert B. Dixon, Senator and Perry
G. Benson to the Delegates, defeating
James H. Covington and Joseph E.
Fairbank. The balance of the Dem
ocratic ticket is elected. The Demo
cratic State ticket gets 100 majority
in Talbot.
