WHAT THE RETURNS SHOW


Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
BALTIMORE, Md. November S-Chair-
man Goldsborough of the republican state
committee has summoned his committee to
meet in Baltimore next Wednesday to de-
wise means to prevent the party from losing
the points of the victory won on Tuesday
Mr.. Goldsborough will Also recommend the
committee to appoint subcommttees to
manage the republican side of the contests
which will be instituted in the courts of sew
eral counties to determine the rights of
those who have been counted out by the
canvassing boards in their respective locali-
ties. The committee will also take hand
in the endeavor to secure the punishment
of the men who have perpetrated the frauds
alleged to have been committed in several
counties by means of which the republican
majorities were overcome and the demo-
cratic candidates declared elected.
At the present time it looks as If the
democrats will be able to organize the
house of delegates and thus gain control
of the general assembly. The recount of
certain precincts in Baltimore city will en-
able the democrats to return as elected
to the house of delegates three of their
candidates, namely: Messrs. Straus, Camp
bell and Little. This will give them fifty-
one members to fOrty-four republicans and
no one doubts that they will find means
to enlarge their majority as soon as the
session opens.
Indications to the Senate.
The indications are that the senate will
nd seventeen democrats to nine republic
cans. and that on joint ballot the vote
will be sixty-eight democrats to ffty-three
republicans, unless the republicans find
some means not now visible to get certifi-
Gates of election for several Of their can
dldates who We're supposed to be elected
when the result was first announced after
the votes We're counted
The strange feature of the case is that
all the revised returns and recounts up to
date have favored the democrats, who are
now certain that Mr.. German will be chosen
TO succeed Mr.. Wellington in the senate
The republicans and anti-Gorman demo-
Gratis are very sore over the situation and
intend to do all in their power to prevent
consummatiOn of the fraud. To that end
every step Will be contested up to the very
time the general assembly decides the case
and so far as possible the courts will be ap-
pealed to to redress the wrong
The Latest Returns Today
The latest returns today indicate the cleo
tion of Mr. Thomas Parran. republican, as
clerk of the court of appeals Who has
been chosen controller cannot be deter
mined until the official count in Baltimore
Is completed, but the indications seem to
favor DR.. Joshua W. Herring, the demo-
cratic candidate who now holds the office.
Senator McComas and ex-senator German
are both at Rennert's Hotel directing op-
eTations for their respective sides. They
met in the lobby this morning, but far
as could be observed did not see each other
At any rate they did not show any sign of
recognition.
The following table indicates. according
to the returns, the number of republican
and democratic senators and members of
the house of delegates from every county:
