ELECTION NEWS.
GOLDSBOROUGH DEFEATS
GORMAN BY $500.
Democrats Of Frederick County
by the Most Heroic Work Elect
County Commissioner, States
Attorney. Sheriff and County
Treasurer.

The Democracy of Frederick county
has elected Samuel A. Lewis, State At
torney. defeating George R. Dennis, the
chairman of the Republican County Cen
trail Committee, by more than 200 votes.
| Charles T. Pagan defeated Smith, the
Republican candidate for Sheriff by over
100, and Mr. Hotter defeated Mr.. Dudde-
rar for County Commissioner. The sur
prise of the contest was the election of
Mr.. F. w. Cramer as County Treasurer,
defeating the old war horse, Daniel Z.
Padgett, who received two years ago over
1000 majority. Manv of the candidates
ran so close that it took the official count
! to decide.
| The defeat of Mr.. Calf by Senator Ma
thias was surprise to his many friends,
as they expected him to win by hand
, some majority.
Too much name by one of the candi-
dates on the Delegate ticket injured his
chances Of success.
J The many friends of Senator German
deeply regret his defeat. This county re-
duced the Republican majority from 1,2oo
to $50.
| So far as the State IS concerned, the re-
naming fruits of victory 60 to the De
mocracy. 1t elects its Acknowledgement,
Edgar Allan Poe, and IFS Comptroller,
Emerson c. Harrington. thus retaining
control of the Board of Public Works.
1t has the State Senate and the House of
Delegates, $50 that on joint ballot it will
control the General Assembly, which
means the election of Democratic State
! Treasurer.
Thus the State Government, for two
i, years anyhow, and probably for four, will
be divided between the two parties, the
executive branch being in control of one
! and the legislative branch in the hands of
the other. Whether this means four years
of stagnation for the State or four years
more OF progressive government depends
upon the spirit in which each enters upon
its duty.
Judge Stockbridge, Republican. was
