Taft by 1875 Votes.

Baltimore. Mr., Nov. 5.-The po-
litical pendulum has swung once more
and on the face OF unofficial returns,
Taft has carried Maryland by 1876
votes.
Every precinct in the state has been
heard from, and from but about a
dozen the full figures on Taft and
Bryan have been received. From the
others have come as stated, the plu.
ralities for one or the other as figured
by the local correspondents. Usine
these figures. Taft's vote in state and
city combined is 111.25S and Bryan''
l111.ft7. In the city, with all the
precincts reported on, Taft has So.
$50 and Bryan 49.0S2. giving the city
to the former by just 1,S00. But
here again the official count may
change the apparent result.
While the Maryland delegation in
congress remains unchanged in polit-
ical complexion, II is changed in per
sonnet Kronmiller (Rep) replaces
Wolf (Dem.) in the Third district
and Covington (Dem.) succeeds Jack
(Rep.) in the First.
