|GoRMAN AND MCCLELLAN TO

After one of the hottest campaigns
ever waged in that city. George B. Nc
Ciellan, Democrat, was elected Mayor
of Greater New York by majority of
6I,4I4.
In Maryland, Warfeld, Democrat. is
elected Governor, and Chairman Van
diver claims 10, 900 to IS 900 majority.
1t seems probable that the Democrats
will control both branches of the Legis-
lature and will elect most of their city
ticket in Baltimore, as well as carry three
of the four legislative districts. AT 1890
enough returns had been received to indi-
cate that the Democrats will probably
carry every county on the Eastern Shore
with the possible exception of Somerset.
Howard county, Mr.. Warfeld's home
county gave him 500 majority, while
Hartford the home of Mr.. Williams, went
800 against him. Frederick county was
carried by the Democrats for Judge Nc
Sherry, whose reelection appears to be
assured.
In New Jersey the Republicans will
continue to control both houses of the
Legislature.
Massachusetts goes Republican, as
usual.
