(Special to Tlie Times )
Baltimore. Md., Nov. 5 For the first
time since the -nar Maryland has been car
ried by the Republican party.
Willi the assistance of tee Antl-Gonuaii
Democrats they swept tlie State and
Lowndes is elected gocTiior over Hurt
bj about 0,000 majority.
Ill Baltimore the Republicans made gains
which even exceeded their rondest ex
pectations. Democratic strongholds which were
expected to olfsct the big Republican vote
of Western Maryland Joined the general
lump and went oer to the encm:
Jubilant Republicans and reformers are
parading the Btrects shouting their hos
annas and blowing tin horns. Even the
municipal ticket which was hardly ex
pected to go through owing to the unpop
ularity of Hooper, the inaj orally candi
date. Is elected by a good majority.
Ttie fight has beeiigl en up at Democratic
headquarters and the utmost gloom prevails
there.
Tne Democrats will hardly hae more
than me numbers of the city council which
heretofore has beenMrougly Democratic on
Joint convention. Among the Republicans
elected Is a. colon-d physician from the
Eleventh ward, the ellk stocking section of
the city. Members of the Reform League
claim the distinction of baUng presented
10,000 Gorman repealers from catting
Totes at the polls throughout the city.
8eenty-one precincts out of 198, give
Hurst 14,708, and Lowndes 10,182. Tile
mayoralt) candidates run about the same.
il. W.
Baltimore, Nov. G. The heaviest vote
ner cast in Tlaltiinore was polled to-day.
It was the most exciting day Baltimore has
known since tlie war.
Violence and disorder were the features
throughout. The police cotnmissiouers
Hud I'olice Marshal 1-rey, in one particular
Instance, admitted their helplessness,
and encouraged an appeal, which was sub
sequently made, to Mr. Henry Williams,
the Democratic candidate for mayor, to
Interfere In favor of suppressing disturb
ances. Mr. Williams readily responded by say
ing he would not accept the office if he
were elected by fraud, and he at once
set out to Influence Mr. Hurst, the guber
natorial candidate. In the same direction.
Tlie disturbances, however, called forth
a protest against the slip-shod methods of
the police department, Hon. George L. Wel
lington, chairman of the Republican State
central committee, calling the attention
gf Marshal Jrey to the dereliction. Mr.
Wellington, In a letter to Marshal Frey,
aid:
'If you do not perform your duty I will
male It known to the people of this city
and State, and put you In the pillory of
public opinion for having assieted the
criminal element In preventing a fair elec
tion." Notwithstanding the 6tnngent orders of
Marshal Frey, most of the saloons in the
city were wide open and a groat deal of
drunkenness characterized the day.
Several arrests were made, an occasional
shot was fired, ballot boxes were smashed,
and registration books torn to bits. The
Cay closed, however, without a political
death record.
The legislature will be Republican on Joint
ballot, thereby Insuring a Republican
uccessor to United Btates Senator Gibson.
IN THE COUNTIES.

ceived indicate that Lowndes has carried
Allegany county by a majority of 1,500.
Talbot county is conceded by Democrats
to bate gone Republican by 250 majority.
There were big Republican gains In Anne
Arundel county. Ea6ton also shows heavy
Republican gains. In Baltimore city the
Republicans carried the Eighth precinct of
the Tenth ward for the first time In
twenty years.
Returns from First and Second districts of
Howard county give 225 majority for
Lowndes. The other four districts will
probably swell themajoritj at least to 500.
Senator Gorman resides in Howard county.

and Republican leaders here are that
Lowndes, Republican, has carried Charles
county by fcOO majority.

Bushnell, candidate for Governor; Gen.
Jones, of Youngsto wn, candidate for
Lieutenant-Governor, and to ex-Gov. Fos
ter, stating that the whole Republican
State ticket was elected by pluralities bor
dering close around 100,000, and con
gratulating them.
He also at the same time gave out a
statement that the legislature elected
to-day would stand as follows.
Senate, 27 Republicans and 10 Demo
crats. House. 76 Republicans and 86 Demo
crats. Republican majority on Joint bal
lot, 67
These figures arc probably not far from
correct, though they may be slightly re
duced by later returns.
Gov. McKlnley was asked by the United
Press conespondent what in his opinion
bad caused the large Republican majority.
He replied the same thing that caused the
same results in the last two State elec
tionsthe Inability of the Democratic Con
gress to legislate for the good of the
country.
He said he was not at all surprised at
the result In this State.
As the correspondent was Interviewing
the Governor a glee club was outside
his office window singing a. song that
nominated him for the presidency, and,
great crowds were waiting to offer their
congratulations upon the result.
, Columbus, O., Nov. 57 As later and more
reliable returns come In from Ohio, the
plurality given the State Republican ticket
seems to increase. At this hour, 1 a. m ,
Gov. McKlnley says the plurality for
Gen. Bushnell, Republican candidate for
governor, will reach 100,000.
He has sent a telegram to Gen. Bushnell
congratulating him upon his magnificent
election as governor of Ohio.
Gen. Anderson, 'chairman of the Demo
cratic State executive committee, at this
hour admits that the face of the returns
to far received indicate a plurality of at
least 40,000 for Bushnell. He hopes, how
ever, that later returns will be more favor
able and does not yet concede the State.
It Is almost certain that the Republicans
will hae a large majority on joint ballot
In the general assembly.
EVERYTHING REPUBLICAN.
Flndlay, O., Nov. 6. Returns from a

KENTUCKY STILL IN DOUBT

Reports from Counties Show Strong
Gains for the Ilepuhllcaiis Wiilt-
1ns on Way Hack Counties.
Louisville, Ky., Nov., 6. The exciting
campaign in Kentucky was folloivcd to
day by a quiet election. The polls closed
at 4 o'clock, but the blanket Australian
ballot, with unusual scratching, makes the
counting very slow, and. nt 10 o'clock there
are not enough returns from the Stale or
from Louisville to base an estimate upon.
The Democrats claim tbc election of P.
W. Hardin as governorjlfy 20,000 or 25,

The Republicans clajra the election of

Sixteen towns give Hardin, Democrat,

additional towns give Hnrdui 455 majority,
making bis total majority so far 600.
At midnight Chairman Norman, of the
Democratic State committee, lowers -his
estimate of Hardin's, plurality, but still
claims his election by a safe plurality.
Returns from about half the precincts
in Louisville indicate, that the city will
give a Republican pluraly of about 4,
000 on the municipal ticket and probably
a larger plurality for Bradley.
Some counties In the eastern part of
the Btate show small 'Republican gains,
as compared with the? vote for Presi

In Louisville Hardin i believed to have

but Bradley probably' carries the city.
The Republicans elected, f our out of

No returns have been received in regard
to the election of members of the legis

for Hardin they will doubtless control the
legislature. f
HEPUBL1CAX LOSSES IN KANSAS.
Populists Voted for tho Free Sliver
Candidate for Chief Justice.
Topeka, Kans., Nov. 6.-r-There was a very
light vote polled In Kansas to-day, probably
not to exceed 240,000, or 60,000 less than
last year. Little Interest was taken in the
contest fur chief justice.
David Martin, Republican, was gener
ally considered a sure .-winner, but the
returns from the few precincts heard from
indicate that tho vote for"Charles K. Holll
day, lndcpendentfree'sllver candidate, will
be much larger than was anticipated, Popu
lists generally voting for him. Martin's
majority may be reduced to 20,000.
In this county Holllday Will cut down the
usual Republican majority by mure than
2,000, but he does not expect to do as well
elsewhere.
Out of eight district Judges the Repub
licans will elect five and, the Populists and
Democrats three, being a loss of two to the
Republicans. Returns are. coming slowly.
IS IN i LOfiH-GLm
How The Times Told the Story
of Yesterday's Elections.
PICTURES FROM THE POLLS
Ten .Thousand EnthiislaKtio People

HlKKc'xt Crowd i:er AhHeinbled He

eral Features of the Atcmhlnge.
Another political landslide and a monster
mass meeting to read about it In the
bulletins of The Times were the big local
features of the whirlwind of Republican
ballots which swept over nine States yes
terday. Washtngtonians, men, women and chil
dren moved up en maj.se last light to the
bulletin boards to read the story of the
elections as It was flashed, line by line, on
the fateful canvass. Old timers say that
there necr was such a mobilization of the
peopio nt night as that which was en
thusiastically in evidence all the way on
Pennsylvania avenue from Ninth street to
Fourteenth street.
Some idea of the great numbers out could
be bad from the immense assemblage wblcb
preferred to" get Its news straight and hot
from the wires as Itvrcrsglt en on the bulletin
sheet of The Times. Goodjudges of crowds
say that while the other newspapers had
'their contingents of the great popular mass
The Times crowd was much superior in
point of numbers, and In every otherretpect
for that matter, to that Iwfore the boards of
any of lis contemporaries.
JUDGING BY NOISE.
One Indubitable establishment of that
fact was the comparative ensemble roar of
the crowds. When The Times' friends
spoke they could be heard at least as far as
the boundary, to say, nothing of the echo
from the afar off shores of the Potomac.
At about 10 o'clock 10,000 people were
watching the cam ass for pictorial and po
litical developments.
It was barely niglitra'll when the crowds
began to gather. Slay-at-houics who had
votes, but for various reasons failed to cast
them, thousands of those who have no vote
at all, uiu, women, and boys, bolted down
dinners and hurried down town to hear the
news.
Street cars pushed their way on the
Avenue through masses of people, gongs
sounding continuously, gripmen shouting
and the crowd cheering.
CROWDS AT THE TIMES.
It was a great night for The Times, whose
Bplendld service from every Slate was ap
preciated by the public
This appreciation was shown hi the
throngs in front of The Times building.
The wide Acnue was packed from curb to
curb, the crowd ebbing up Tenth street and
overflowing as far down D street as a
glimpse could be bad of the big screen
stretched in front of the building.
On this the news from every State was
flashed In big letters, clearly outlined ,hy
a powerful stereoptlcon, so that the bul
letins were as distinguishable to those
on the .edge of the crowd as to those for
tunate lines who came early and got the
points of vantage.
Three splendid services supplied the
news to tlie thousands, who came where
they knew they would get all the news,
the correct news und the rresliest obtain
able. FROM TOUR SOURCES.
The bulletins which flashed out on the big
white screen were supplied by the United
Press, the Postal Telegraph Company and
the Western Union Telegraph Company,
supplemented by The Times' special dis
patches from every point.
Special wires were run into the building
from tlie United Press and the telegraph
companies and three ojismlors were-kept
busy at the little instruments that clicked
out news, good and bad, to the waiting
throngs.
Returns on The Times' screen were quick
and fast. Cheers at a bulletin that hinted
victory in some State for one or the other
parties were echoed often many minutes
afterward by the knols gathered about
the bulletins of the other dally papers.
Even the big space In front of TheTlmes
was not sufficient for all, and the late
comers wandered down to the other bul
letin boards, turning anxiously toward
The Times when cheers from there an

Democrat LosC'Mucli Ground in New
Jersey.
New York, Nov. 5. The result of the
election in New Jersey iudicates a sweeping
victory for the Republicans In nearly every
district, even In portions which have been
for years strongholds of Democracy. John
W. Griggs, the Republican candidate for
governor, has bern dieted by surprisingly
large pluralities, probably by about 15,000.
Five of the seven new State senators are
Republican, and in the assembly 'the Demo
crats have lost much ground'.
While New Jersey has had a Republican
senate and assembly inore.ttian once yf late,
Griggs is the llrst successful Republican

(Special to The Times )
Riihmoud, Va., Nov. 3. The last legis
lature was Democratic, except two Popu
lists In the senate and 12 in the house. The
next legislature will be at least 25 per cent,
antl Demoi ratio.
" A considerable number of the Democrats
electcdare pledged to a repeal of the Walton
law. One of the Democratic senators lost
Is W. L. Walton, of Shenandoah, after whom
the obnoxloas law was named, and though
personally popjlar, the fact that the law
borehis name snowed him under.
The other Democratic senators Iot are
Parrlsh.oT Gooihland; Watts, of Roanoke;
Haulier, of Franklin.
I'arr, a Republican, also succeeds the
Popjbt tenatur from Patrkk. Deiuocraiiu
Senators Flood, Barnes and Kane, the latter

Alexandria, Va., Nov. C. The election
In this city to-day was extremely quiet,
and as Capt. George A, Mnshbah, Demo
crat, for the btate senate, had no oppo
sition, and the RepublUan oppoItlon to
William II. May practically amounted to
nothing, the Democrats did not come out,
and less than 1,600 votes, .about two

New York State by 60,000 plurality:
New Jersey by over 15,000; Maryland by
10,000, and claim to have captured Ken
tucky. Besides swinging these States over lnte
the Republican column they increase their
usual majorities in Massachusetts, Ohio,
Iowa and all other States where elections

loo. Tammany elected local ticket by about

New York, Nov. 5. The eieition In this
city has been full of exelteuient, almost
rivaling In Its intensity the polling day
of a national contest.
The excise ijuestion lias, of course, been
hi the fore front of discussion, and the re
turns up to ll.e latest hour indicate a
Mctory for the so-called Tammany faction
of 40,000 and upwards, which ilipuse of
the "dry Sunday," which has been thebon
of contention for many months iast. Tfc
fusionists are routed, and canuidl admit
their defeat.
Palmer, for secretary of state, judginj
from latest returns and comiiarisous, come
down to Harlem bridge with a very larga
majority, estimated at from 60,000 to
100,000, which, of course, gives the Etat
to the Repubbcans by upwards of 50,000.
From all parts of the State tLe returns
show that the polling was very heavy
for an off year, something being naturally
due to the fine weather that prevailed
everywhere. The Republican losses com
pared to the vote of the last State election
are no more than was to Ime been ex
pected. The election In New York city has
excited more attention throughout the
State than the local contests, and the
result does not appear to be generally dis
tasteful to Republicans, who are Inclined
to a liberal view of the Issues which have
peculiarly affected the Metropolis.
