said to be quick, active, industrious

on the southern farms-and that they
should be excluded from this country
vixen the Huns, Slavs and the ohsccur-

than passing strange.

MARYLAND.


Baltimore, Nov. 4. --Election returns
have been exceedingly slow in coming in
right in the city due to the monster bal
lot, which contained nearly eighty names.
Returns from the counties are still slower.
Up to 10 O. clock there had been returned
only 270 out of 30S precincts in the city.
The fight in the city is very close and
the returns now in give Warfeld, demo-
crat, for Governor, plurality of 1868,
over Williams, republican, which would
indicate plurality of only 1850 in the
city. Practically the entire democratic
ticket for city Offices has been elected.
The democrats also carry three of the
legislative districts in the city, giving
them three State Senators and 10 members
of the House ofDelegates, while the re-
pubicans have carried the Fourth district.
Returns from the counties indi-
cate the democrats are doing much
better there, and that the legislature
will be strongly democratic, which
means a democratic United States
CChotol W ouCSScu OcudtOI nCOOuIdS.
The democrats have undoubtedly carried
Washington county, the home of Senator
McComas, on both State and legislative
tickets. This democratic victory is the
end of very bitter contest in which
charges of corruption, padded reg
istration and crookedness have been
hurled at the democrats in the columns
of nearly every newspaper in the city.
Old charges of ten years ago, regarding
Senator German and |. Freeman Rasin,
the democratic boss, were reyamped and
paraded before The people without appre-
cable result, as Warfeld's plurality is
greater than was McLane's for Mayor,
last May. Gordon I. Atkinson, democrat,
was elected State Comptroller, and w.
Shepard Bryan, democrat, Attorney Gen
eral.
Baltimore, Nov. Warfeld, demo-
crat, for governor, with 10 out of 30S !
precincts to hear from in Baltimore city,
has plurality of 5,09l over Williams,
republican. In II counties heard from
Warfeld has 1927, which makes his
plurality so far 1888.

In the elections held in eleven states
Yesterday the democrats have much 70
be proud of; they lost nothing but mace
considerable gains, securing a tremendous
victory in New York city, making sure
the State of Maryland and re-r'ecting
a Governor of Rhode Island. Virginia,
with greatly reduced vote, gave .he
usual democratic majority. The other
States in which elections were held re-
main practically unchanged.
VIRGINIA.
The democrats swept Virginia in yes
terday's election, which was for members
of the general assembly and county ON,
GERS. With much smaller vote poIed
than is usual in alegislative election, the
democratic victory was complete. In
the present general assembly there are
three republicans in the senate and fiteen
in the house. The number will hardly
be increased. The indications are that
DIR. John c. Everett is elect ed to the
house in Nelson over Goodwin. The dem
ocrats swept Rockbridge and the adloin-
ing counties, electing Roy Mitchell TO
the house and S. w. Sterrett, democrat,
as foater. One of the surprises is the
defeat of ]. H. BriscCe (dem.), by Nj.
HI. Dickinson Gnd. dem }, in Spottsylva-
MIA and Fredericksburg. Another is the
election of w. B. Simmons Gnd.) in
Botetourt county, over H. A. Latane

Bird (dem. J, but Hurst, theindependent
republican in Page and Rappahannock,
is probably elected. Both sides claim
Washington county, though the chances
are in favor ofNort and Huff, democrats.
Returns from all theprecincts in Henrico
except two, which are said to be for Todd
gives Todd for treasurer rs majority.
His election is attributed largely to the
State committees interference in the
matter.
NJ. X. Lowry, republican member OF
the house of delegates from Stafford and
King George counties, is reelected over
Il. NJ. Jones democrat.
Nine precincts out of twenty in Eau
quier gave NJ. NJ. Green, democratic can
didate for the legislature, S22 majority
over his republican opponent, W. B. q.
Shumate While the returns are very
incomplete, yet Green's majority can be
safety estimated at 600 to 700. W. ID.
Lewis, the foater representative for the
legislature from Loudoun and Fauquier,
is reelected without opposition.
John f. Ryan is returned to the
house from Loudoun, w. III. Lewis,
foater delegate, for Loudoun and
Fauquier, received a fair vote in Lou
doun county.
In Rockingham Keezell, democrat, for
the Senate, will probably have from 100
to to 200 majority over Earman, repub-
lican.
In Fairfax county r. E. Lee, the
democratic nominee for the House, de-
feated Payne, the republican nominee,
by an overwhelming vote. In Prince
William the democrats had everything
their own way. In Richmond 2,l67
votes were cast, but the democratic ticket
was elected. The socialist polled but

OHIO.
Columbus, Nov. An the election
in Ohio the republicans carried at least
SO of the SS counties and it looks as
though the democrats had lost every de-
batable senatorial district. The plural
ity against TIE democratic ticket, headed
by Tom l.. johnson, for Governor, is
estimated at 10000.
MASSACHUSETTS.
Boston, Nov. 4.--Gov. Bates was re-
elected by plurality of $4,000. There
was marked falling off in the socialist
vote. The legislature win have 81
republican and 9 democratic Senators,
the same as at present, and l55 repub-
!ican, 50 democratic and one socialist
representatives, a gain in the House of
two republicans and loss Of two social
lists.

New York, Nov. 4.-Compete election
returns this morning show that Mayor
elect George B. Mcclellan, the Tammany
candidate, received plurality of GO, 617
votes over Mayor Seth Low, the fusion
nominee for reelection. Tammany

working majority of 81 in the Board of

NJ. Grout ran over 5000 ahead of his
ticket, defeating his opponent Gustav
P. Hinricks by plurality Of &C, 100

in all the five boroughs of the greater
city, except Richmond, was elected.

received 1888 votes.
Albany, N. Y, Nov. 4.-The state leg
islature of 1904 will be safely republican
The next senate will stand 20 republic
cans and 81 democrats. The returns
now indicate that the Assembly will be
made up of 50 republicans, and "a demo-
Gratis and one Independent democrat.
The republican landslide in Albany
county, which is normally democratic,
was due to the factional differences be-
tween the followers of David B. Hill

States indicate that the republicans have

The democrats were successful in
Rhode Island, Maryland and kentucky.
They cut down Governor Cummin's
plurality in Iowa, and gained sweep
ing victory in the municipal election in

that Murphy has privately expressed
himself in favor of Grover Cleveland.

Some newspaper subscribers
often wonder why a publisher
keeps on sending his paper after
his subscription has expired. An
exchange says the reason is this:
When a subscription is paid to a
certain time, and the time expires,
and the paper is stopped, it looks
as if the editor doubted the integ-
rity of the subscriber and in nine
cases out of ten the subscriber will
give the publisher calling down
for insinuating that he is not good.
Rather than cast any reflection
against neighbours honesty to pay
a small debt it has become custom
airy for country newspapers to con-
tinue sending the paper after the
time has expired. The city weeklies
and dailies do not generally follow
this rule, as their subscribers are
at distance, and besides, they are
not acquainted with them, do not
know their financial standing. One

AND fiE LOST THE BET.

A Scranton young man, says the
Scranton Gazette, took trip recently
and since his return has beer trying
to decide that he wasn't buncoed
while away. This is the story: Ar
irving at the Kansas City depot and
having time to spare, he decided to
walk up town. On the way he was
overtaken by a man who requested
to be directed to some place or other.
In company the conversation tilted
this way and that until the stranger
stated that he had dispute on the
train over the spelling of a word
the definition of which was "a band
of singers" Said he spelled it
"c-h.o-i.r." One friend said he was
exactly right. Soon the two were
joined by another. After hearing
about the train argument, the third
man said that "quire" was a name
applied to a band of singers. The
Scranton young man said that word
was term applied to "a sheets OF
paper. In less than no time Scran-
ton had $50 bet that "choir" was'cor-
rect and "quire' wac not. And
Scranton lost $50.

1t is a matter of regret, when you
look at it in serious manner, that
the mayor and council should be at
cross points. Such a condition OF
affairs is not conclusive of good re.
suits in the administration of the
city's affairs, and the people who
have to pay for such foolishness
will soon tire of it. Officials are
elected to do things which will
prove of benefit to the town, and
not to vent their spite on each
other. When the time comes that
business gives way to spite resig-
nations should be handed in at
once. We hope there will be no
farther horse play.

PLAYED in a West Second South street

that there would be a meeting there of
some of the knights of the green cloth,
and the police laid plans for their cap
ture.
officer Gulbranson, dressed in citizen's
clothes, gained admission to the game and
took a hand When the game had pro
crossed sufficiently to satisfy the blue
coat that the men were gambling, he ex-
hibited his star and arrested the other
participants. At the police station the
men gave the names Of Arthur Holland
J. Strong. HARRY Hoyer and George d.
Ohle. Holland, 1t was claimed, was the
proprietor of the place, and his bonds
were fixed in the sum of SlOo- The other
three men were requested TO and left so

CITY on the quiet since the big gambling
houses were closed The arrests last
night we're the first to be made The
police say that more VIII follow.
