Baltimore, Md, Nov. 1.-THE official
counting of the ballots in Baltimore and
the counties of Maryland was resumed
Friday morning and will continue un-
interruptedly until it is finished. So far
only five wards of the "a Baltimore
yards have, been counted, and it will be
Saturday or Monday before the count
in this city is completed. In the % coun-
ties of the state about one-third have
been counted and it will probably be late
Saturday or Monday before all of them
are heard from.
AT two o'clock Friday the board OF
election supervisors in Baltimore had
completed the official count in 18 of
the "a wards, the net result showing d
gain of 81 votes in the city for Par
ker. Dispatches from the various
counties in the state are to the effect
that the count is progressing without
contention or dispute of any sort, and
there are no indications OF a radical
change from the unofficial announce
ments. The gain for Parker an
nOunced since the official counting be-
gan is about enough to transfer the
plurality of votes from Roosevelt to
Parker, with seven democratic and one
republican elector, but the vote is so
close that until complete canvass
has been made the definite result can
not be known.
The count in this city and state is be-
ing very closely watched by attorneys
representing the republican and demo-
cratic managers and fair enumeration
seems assured. Both sides are claiming
the victory.
Congressman William IL Jackson,
who On the face of the returns in the
First Congressional district was defeat
ed by Thomas A. Smith (dem.), has an
nounced that he will contest the seat on
the ground O. fraud.

jority of 36,338 over Walbridge, repub-
lican, and Swanger, republican, for sec
retary Of state, a majority of IL, ,351 over
Cook, the present incumbent. Returns
from the counties received Friday show
decided republican gains, adding to the
safe majority received by Roosevelt
over Parker. OF the IL counties still to
hear from, it will be impossible to get
complete returns from eight Tor at least
a week, as they are distant from the
railroad lines.

to offer for the overwhelming defeat
of the democratic national ticket, and
believes this is no time to consider
either candidates or policy for the cam
paign four years hence.
