Maryland Democrats Apathetio.

Baltimore, Md, Nov. 5.-The demo-
Gratis made no great effort to get out
the vote except in the Second district,
ir which German wanted his Baltimore
county lieutenant, Fred Talbot, re-
elected to congress. It is reported the
democrats spent as n4Jh money in the
Second as they did in all the other five
districts put together.
For the first time in the history Of
the party the democrats spent no money
in the First or eastern shore, district.
Charles e. Ellegood, their candidate,
has for years oppopsed the corruption
of voters, both black and white in this
Fart of the state. He made his platform
"anti bribery and conducted per-
scnal campaign with little or no assist
ance from the managers, who had no
hope Of him winning without the use
of money. Congressman William II.
Jackson is one of the strongest and
wealthiest republicans on the eastern
shore. The German organization con-
trolling the party could not put up
much money in any part of the state,
not even for legitimate expenses, be-
cause they went the funds for next
years state campaign.
Republicans in this city charge the
democratic police department with
causing the arrest ofrepublican workers
in the Third district. with a view to
defeating Congressman Wachter. Patrol

cal workers to the police station. Chair
man Goldsborough, of the republican
state committee upon learning of
scheme to rough" the Third district in
the afternoon, appealed to the police
department for extra policemen at the
polling places. -

CLOSE ON GOVERNOR.
Remainder Of the Republican State
Ticket Elected in Nebraska.

Lincoln, Neb.. Nov 5.-Returns in
Nebraska up to 1890 show the vote to
be exceedingly close on governor, with
the remainder of the republican state
ticket probably elected. The first sixty
precincts reporting gave Mickey, re-
publican, for governor 6,541; Thomp-
son. fusion, 5,S57 These precincts a
year ago cast 6,532 republican votes and
5,302 fusion votes. This shows the
republicans have cast practically the
same vote as a year ago, and the fu-
sionists have made small but steady
gains. Mickey is running behind his
ticket. One hundred and ten precincts
indicate net fusion gain or between
three and four to the precinct. II only
this gain is maintained thruout the
state Mickey will still be elected by
nearly 1000 plurality.
The fusionists have gained a con-
gressman in the Second district, Hitch
cock over Mercer, and the republicans
have probably gained in the Fourth,
Hinshaw over Stark. Burkett, repub-
lican, is returned in the First. Lincoln
city and Lancaster county give the re-
publican state ticket 1000 plurality, and
elect the entire republican legislative
ticket

Des Moines, Nov Sit must be adj
mitted that republicans were surprised
as we'll as disappointed at the defeat of
Hoffman for congress in the Second
district by Judge Wade of Iowa City.
At IL o'clock it looked almost certain
that Hoffman had pulled thru, and most
of the early morning editions of the
newspapers went to press with that re-
port, but by daylight it was discovered
that Wade had carried the counties of
Clinton, johnson, Iowa and Scott by a
plurality of SS1 over Hoffman's lead In
Jackson and Muscatine. The democrats
are claiming the district by over 1900
The majority for Hedge in the First
district is now believed to be about p
600, while Lacey Is safe with little
less than this. Lacey carried Wapello
county by $50. Hedge has a majority
of 475 in Jefferson county.
The latest from the Fourth district is
that Haugen will have about 5000 plu-
rality.
II Is now estimated from liiS ACeoi 40
received here and also by reports sent
into the Associated Press that lowa's
republican plurality for the whole state
will reach 10000, altho official returns
may reduce that somewhat.
At Iowa City Beyington, democrat,
was elected judge over ex-Attorney
General Rennley. In the Cedar Rapids
district at least two Of the democratic
candidates for judge were elected, and
possibly all three, owing to Jones coun-
'ty having quarrel over the judicial
convention.
In Polk county the returns show that
CONGRESSMAN Hull was cut very badly
by those who opposed him at the pri-
mary, and reports from Story county
are to the effect that he ran behind his
ticket there.

publican committee has no reason TO
change it's estimates for that section
Chairman Griggs of the democratic
congressional committee claims DEM
ocratic majority for the house, but ne
will give no figures, and has no clear
idea as to where it will come from. He
has received no special messages from
any part of the country, but is relying
solely on the press bulletins for infor-
nation as to how the election is going.
The next United States senate will
also be republican by at least sixteen
majority. The present senate contains
fifty-sour republicans and thirty-four
democrats in total of ninety seats,
there being two vacancies from Della
ware, where the republican legislature
failed to elect The terms of thirty
senators expire with the present con-
gress. There is also vacancy from
Michigan. caused by the death OF Sem
ator Mcmillan.
OF these thirty one seats to be filled,
not including the two from Delaware,
&Aut including the Mcmillan vacancy,
nineteen are now republican and twelve
are democratic, Wellington of Mary
land being classified as republican
and Harris of Kansas, McLaurin of
South Carolina, and Teller of Colorado
as democrats.
Seven states have already elected
senators to take their seats March 4,
1903. Maryland has chosen German,
democrat, to succeed Wellington, a re-
publican: Kentucky, McCreary, a DEM
ocrat, to succeed Deboe, a republican;
Iowa has reelected Allison, a republi-
can: Ohio has reelected Foraker. a re-
publican: Louisiana has reelected Nc
Emery. a democrat: Vermont has re-
elected Dillingham;, a republican, and
Georgia yesterday reelected Gray,
democrat.
Four democrats and three republi-
cans, therefore, already are elected,
leaving sixteen republican and eight
democratic seats to be filed. The legis-
lature in Oregon, whinch will choose
successor to Simon, has been elected,
and is republican. Including Delaware,
therefore, twenty-five senators will be
elected by the legislatures chosen yes
terday. Those legislatures were elected
by the following states: Indiana, Della
ware (two seats), New Hampshire,
North Dakota, Nevada, South Dakota,
Illinois, Pennsylvania, California, Con-
necticut, New York, North Carolina,
Wisconsin,, Kansas, Michigan. IDAHO
Arkansas, South Carolina, Florida, AL
ALBANIA, Utah, Colorado, Washington
and Missouri.
OF these the republicans have surely
carried thirteen, viz: Indiana, New
Hampshire, North Dakota, South Da-
kota, Illinois. Pennsylvania, Califor-
MIA, Connecticut, New York, Michigan.
Kansas, wisconsin and Washington.
and the democrats seven, viz: North
Carolina. Delaware (probably), Arkan-
sas South Carolina, Alabama and Mis-
souri,. This insures fifty-two republi-
cans and thirty-four democrats in the
next senate.

INDIANA is REPUBLICAN.
Republican Claims vindicated by the
Result

Result.
Indianapolis, Nov. 5.-The election IN
Indiana passed off very quietly, with a
tighter vote polled than in 1898, and the
indications are that it will fall off To-
900 when compared with the election OF
two years ago. In a few counties the
total is larger, but in the main the cam
paign indications of a light vote are
sustained.
The state is republican by an In
creased majority and the plurality may
reach 81 900, partial returns indicating
a close approximation to these ngures.
The republicans claim the state by 49,
600 plurality and the democrats con-
cede defeat by from 10000 to $4,000.
Returns from the congressional dis
tricts are very meager no one being
reported in full, but the republicans
have certainly carried the First, Fifth,
sixth, Seventh, Eighth, Ninth, Tenth,
Eleventh and Thirteenth, with strong
probability of the Twelfth also. In the
latter district the democrats had plu-
rality two years ago Of but 62S, and the
probabilities are that this has been
wiped out. Democrats do not concede
the loss of the district, but the reports
received at republican headquarters IN
dicate the election Of the republican
candidate.
Reports from the senatorial and rep
resentative districts are conflicting. The
indications are that the republicans
have elected a majority of both houses
and will control the legislature on joint
ballot, thus re-electing Charles w.
Fairbanks to the United States senate.
The democrats do not concede con-
troll of the legislature to the republic
ans but the majority in the state is so
large as to leave no doubt of republican
control by from twenty-five to thirty
majority.
In this county there was much re-
publican opposition to the county ticket
and the returns indicate greatly de-
creased majority. It is believed the
democrats have elected some members
of the county ticket, but the majority
on the state ticket and congressman
will be as large, if not larger than two

CALIFORNIA is SAFE.
Republican Majority in That State Is
5000.

San Francisco, Nov. 5.-While the
count is progressing slowly, latest
returns this morning indicate the cleo
tion of the entire republican state
ticket. Harde for governor has plur-
ality estimated at 5000. Democrats
don't conceed his election. The con-
gressional delegation will be five re-
publcans, one democrat-union labor
two doubtful. The Legislature is re-
publican by a good majority.
San Francisco, Nov 5.-Complete re-
turns from lib precincts out of 2.597,
including San Francisco, give Parde,
republican, for governor, 59,636. Demo-
crat 66,264. The apparent majority of
the democrats is to the fact that San
Francisco which gave him majority of
over 5000. The country districts will
overcome this majority.

AS VIEWED AT WASHINGTON.
Next House Will Have Probably Ma
iority of Twenty-Five.

Washington, D. c., Nov. 5.-The re-
pubiicans will control the next house by
not less than twenty-five majority. The
big vote for Coler in Greater New York
has carried with 1t probably the four
republican congressional districts,
clecting democratic representatives, but
Chairman Babcock had regarded these
districts in doubt and the loss does not
affect his prediction that there would
be not less than 204 republican repre-
sentatives in the next congress. The
same is true regarding the loss of the
Twenty district at Pittsburg,
Pa, where the republican candidate was
considered doubtful of reelection, and
in Massachusetts, where Babcock con-
ceded the election of Thayer in the
Third district.
Maryland has probably split even on
congressman, giving the democrats a
gain of one, but Mr.. Babcoek counted on
only two certain republican districts In
the state. The early returns from the
state of New York, Pennsylvania, New
England, New Jersey, Ohio, Illinois and
the west indicate that the republicans
are holding their own and Chairman
Babcock at midnight had no reason to
change his estimate for a republican
majority of twenty two In the next
house.
The democrats have made their
gains in Greater New York and in the
south. where lit was conceded they
would make gains. Delaware was con-
ceded to the democrats a week ago, be-
cause of the republican factional quar-
rel there between the Addicks and anti
AddiclSs followers.
The republicans expected to lose one
or two districts in Maryland ana the
on district they had In North Carolina.
No losses have been recorded in the east
that were not expected, and if the west
holds up to the returns received at this
time the house had good working re-
publican majority.
The reports from Ohio are that the
republicans have done better than they
promised. and that Mayor Tom john
sons spectacular campaign for the
democratic ticket has been of material
aid to the republicans, especially in
Hamilton county.
The reports from Indiana are also en-
eeuraging, as are those from Illinois,
Iowa, Wisconsin and Michigan.
No word has yet been received from
California and the far west, and the re-

GOVERNOR TO FIGHT sPooNER.
Senator Still Refuses to lndorse the
Wisconsin State Platform.

Milwaukee, Wis, Nov. 5.-The Uni
ted States senatorship is the one thing
overshadowing everything else in Wis
consin today, and while it is certain
| that republican legislature has been
elected, and that all but eight of the
nominees have been pledged one way
or another to vote for the reelection of
John c. Spooner, there is an element
of doubt about his return in the minds
| of nearly everyone who has been OPP
posed to the reelection Of Governor
LaFollette.
| Spooner has supported the state tick
ct Loyalty, but he has steadfastly re-
fused to indorse the state platform,
which contains things that he does not
believe to be republican. The senator
has never said that he was opposed
to the theory of primary election, but
he has indicated in pretty strong terms
to his close friends that he would not
approve of the radical measures pro-
posed by the governor. For this reason
the governor has not indorsed Spooner
for re- election, and it is certain that he
will not change his attitude toward
the senator unless the latter surrenders
and swallows the platform as written.
This, Spooner's friends say, he will
never do.
Stalwart republicans believe that the
fight is not at an end, and that, while
Spooner appears to have an almost
unanimous Endorsement for election,
there will be fight in the legislature,
headed by LaFollette, to defeat him.
The sentiment for the return of
Spooner was just as strong before the
state convention in July as it is today.
yet that convention, controlled by La
Toilette, gave it's Endorsement to him
contingent upon his acceptance of the
state platform. Since that time 80 per
cent of the legislative conventions have
been held, and they have given their
Endorsement to the senator uncondi-
tionally.

old son, who used a shotgun, which he
purchased for the purpose. Then, With
the help of two brothers, aged 10 and s,
Herman dragged the body of the father

This is the story secured by Sheriff
