The election of Crothers, Democrat for

Though the city returns are still far from

been Received IRON the counties, the
indications are that Crothers will have
q majority over Gather. Republican, Of
somewhere between 1000 and 5000.
The Eastern Shore has gone Democratic
and the Western Maryland section Repub-
lican. Baltimore city will probably give
Crothers about {, 1000 majority. Gather
generally runs ahead Of his ticket. The
