THE MARYLAND VICTORY New Election and Registration Law an Important Factor. Both Parties Surprised at the Com- plete Republican Sweep—Demo- crats Trying to Account for It. Correspondence of The Evening Star. BALTIMORE, November 5, 1896. Now that the :blare and turmoil occa- sloned by the unprecedented sweep of the republicans in this state 1s beginning to subside and voters are beginning to ana- lyze the situation, a new factor in local elections is being fully appreciated. This new element is the election and registra- tion law which the republicans passed dur- Ing the last session of the general assem- bly. By its operation the old-time demo- cratic majority, and the opportunities of sustaining it which the late democratic ring enjoyed so long, have been entirely wiped out, and Maryland can no longer be claimed as a sure democratic state. In- deed, republicans today assert that it is not even doubtful, but that it has swung into the republican column for all time to come, and that in future elections, under normal conditions, it may be expected to give from 14,000 to 16,000 republican ma- jority. In making this claim the republi- cans readily admit that yesterday's impos- ing victory was largely due to the substan- tial aid they received from sound money democrats. They realize that in no sense was {t a party victory, but they are con- vinced that the purging of the registration lst and the-loss of the election machinery by the democrats in 1895 have so weakened the latter that it will be years before they can hope to regain the ascendancy in local Political affairs. Effect of the New Law. The effect of the new law was at once evident In the registration. In some of the lower democratic wards especially the lists of qualified voters this year showed a fall- ing off of thousands, as compared with a year ago, and the expunging of fictitious names, the statements demanded as to a definite description of the applicant's resi- dence, thus preventing colonization, and the otner precautions against possible pad- ding all proved most effective and went far in pulling down the props which have sus- tained democratic majorities in the past. One very striking bit of testimony to the value of the new law was the absence this year of the throngs of repeaters whose ad- vent in the bar rooms and about the streets always indicated the near approach of elec- tion day in the past. The result here is a great surprise, for while the majority of the business and pro- fessional men of the city expected to see the McKinley electors chosen, they never expected such an immense majority. Dur- ing the last two weeks prior to election there was a decided undercurrent of anx- jety in evidence, and much quiet specula- tion as to the possibility of the labor vote being cast for Bryan. The general senti- ment expressed in the street last week was undoubtedly for Bryan, and the cheers for the Chicago nominees which were given by the ‘sound money and wage earner” paraders, and the tremendous enthusiasm at the Daniel meeting in the evening, were regarded by many as prophetic of a sur- prise for those whose estimates of the out- come re more than vindicated by yes- terday’s result. Democrats Trying to Account for It. There is no question that Senator Gorman and the other regular democrats were con- vinced that McKinley would be defeated in the city and state, and old-lire democrats who stick to the party through thick and thin are utterly dumfounded at the result. Varlous reasons to account for it are ad- vanced. The defeat of Congressman Miles in the first district is one of the individual sen- sations of the hour, and democrats all over the state are wondering what has become of the great majorities which Worcester and Wicomico counties have rolled up in the past. The shrink in these democratic strongholds is perhaps the most remark- able evidence of the comprehensive char- acter of the republican tidal wave, and the fact that the shore is to be represented at Washington by a republican is destined to be discussed in political circles for some time to come. Prince George. The vote in Prince George's county, Md., was as follows: McKinley. Bryan. 5-16 2 one 2 319 Ali Varieties of Diaries. 5.

Redmond, thé youngest daughter of Mrs. Elizabeth Redmond and the late James Redmond, were held yes- terday morning at the Church of the Im- maculate Conception. The beautiful and impressive services of the Roman Catholic Church were conducted by Rev. Michael Ryan, assisted by Fathers J. F. ‘McGee, Charles W. Bart and 8. F. Ryan and Dr. Rook-r of the apostolic delegation. Dr. Rooker spoke in feeling and eloqutnt words of the lovable character of the de- ceasel young woman and of the fact that the had entered into a happier life. The church was filled with sympathetic friends of the family. ees SE Unity Club (1875). The Unity Crp (1875) was entertained in the handsome parlors of the Misses Harvey of Vermont avenue last evening, the vice president, Mrs. M. D. Lincoln, presiding. The program opened with a brilliant plano solo by Mr. Karl Holer. Dr. Frank T. Howe delivered an instructive address on “Luck in Newspaper Work,” which was well received. By especial request Prof. L. R. Klemm read a paper entitled “Genius versus Love.” An original poem by Dr. W. A. Croffut and one by Major F. I. Wil- lis on the abuses of the bicycie craze, both happy efforts. Miss Lillian Sefton was heard in two solos, accompanied by Pro- fessor Bischoff; Miss Mattie Wade also sung a solo, and recelved an encore. The recitations of Miss Margaret Linton of Philadelphia showed great dramatic abili- ty; her “Delsarte” movements were also much enjoyed. Mr. fam Cross delighted his audience with two vocal solos and was enthusiastically encored. In spite of. the inclement weather there was a large and fashionable audience present. panne Das Hotel Arrival Raleigh—G. W. Haynes and J. H. Wood- bridge, Boston, Mass.; T. R.

LED THE PROCESSION An Old-T mer in the Police Court This Morning. Some of the Results of the Election Excitement Crop Up in the Police Court. Among the leaders in the Police Court procession this morning was Jessie Ford. Those who know anything at all about the District temple of justice are acquainted with Jessie by sight and reputation. Some folks even go so far as to claim that Jessie was one of the charter prisoners of the court and led the initial procession that passed through the dock. But be that true or not, it is nevertheless @ fact and a mat- ter of history that Jessie for years past has been one of the most regular habitues of the court. Whisky was the cause of Jessie's fall from grace, and continued and almost incessant indulgence in stimulants of an alcoholic nature has kept her from rising. Policeman Martin arrested Jessie last night, and he told the court that she was intoxicated, cursing and swearing, and act- ing in a very disorderly manner. In other words, she was drunk and fussy. udge, your honor,” said J give you my word that I ha’ drunk for five months.” “Five months, Jessie,” said the court In- credulously. “That would be nothing short of a miracle in your case.” “But it's so, sir. I've got a nice room and I've been keeping straight.” “She was very crooked Jast night,” sug- gested Policeman Martin. “All I did say, Judge, your honor,” con- tinued Jessie with spirit, “was to hurrah for McKinley, and if tt hadn't been a silver bug policeman I never would have been le, “rn "t been arrested. It was all spite, and that's all there was to It, and that's the truth.’ “Sure you were not drunk?” “I've told the truth, sir. up to tell the truth, m: souls of my poor paren “She was very drunk,” policeman. “May God forgive you,"”” murmured Jes- se in a tone of mingled horror and pity. “Thirty days this time, Jessie,” said the court, and the woman retired, assuring herself in audible words that she was browbeaten and oppressed. One Witness Enough. Even though the only witness against Augustus King was a newspaper reporter, who has been on duty at the Police Court for years past, the man was promptly con- victed of disorderly conduct and profanity. It eeems that King, who is a young white man, stood in front of the Central Union Mission yesterday afternoon and used lan- guage of such a charagter that a blush suffused the marble feafures of the statue of General Hancock, half a block distant. King admitted his guilt and was fined $5. Clerk Potts, after erraigning Robert Ford, Mary Bell and Carrie Powell for dis- orderly conduct, appeared against them as complaining witness. It seems that the trio were raising a disturbance last night in Brewer's court, which is in the rear of Mr. Potts’ residentce. The latter suffered in silence until his nerves were unstrung by the noise and when patience ceased to be a virtue caused the arrest of the parties. They were fined $5 each. Thomas White is a knight of the road and he is likewise unlucky. He is tramp- ing, or rather was up to yesterday, and was on his way from Pennsylvania to Richmond. He stopped at the residence of Policeman McMahon last night and de- manded food and drink. “If you were not drunk,” said Mr. Mc- I was brought y heaven rest the reiterated the SFTSESTSESSVOGOH SENS TESS AA AOS | CROCE OHMS LISS SESS ISSO SLE SS Less Labor, Sunlight Soap Greater Comfort.

Election, Disasters. The election resulted in disaster to sev- eral persons, the ftentity of whom is grad- ually coming to ight ih the Police Court. William Fitzgerald appeared at the rail with a badly battered ‘countenance. While intoxicated he indulged in profanity. “I hadn't taken a drink for a year,” he explained to the judge, “until election night. I took one then and that started me.

The other prisoners begged me te do something to quiet the man, but d and swore and shouted until d “What h © say about this?” “On account of the election, sir, I took a drink, and I don’t remember anything more.

They did not _pres the appearance of profes- sional “hobo and were therefore given an opportunity to leave the city, they promising to do so on a bee-line and with celerity. = “I hereby give you boys notice, as well as the public generally,” said Judge Kim- ball, as he tincd George Malone and Albert Gordon $10 each, “that in the near future I intend to increase the fine in crap cases to $20 or sixty days. It is time the evil was eradicated, and I intend to do all in my power to thet end. Malone and Gcrdon were caught in a game by Policeman Raedy, and the evi- dence was against them. Louis Rosenbaum, Corey Ferguson, Gunn. Ferguson and Fred Battlefield, small boys, were in court for throwing missiles, Jim Lee, a Chinaman, claiming that | they “blaked” the window of his laundry estab- lishment on H street northeast, Monday night.

If you did nothing you should plead not guilty.” “All right, then,” sald the boy, reluct- antly, “not guilty.” The defendants claimed that the window was broken by two small colored boys, and Judge Kimball dismissed the case. John Major was arrested last evening by Policegian Lightfoot for riding a bicycle along the sidewalk on Q street. The po- liceman spoke a good word for the boy, and the fine was made only $2. Bee PARTIAL PAYMENTS, hy Judge Hagner Renders an Interest- ing Decision, Judge Hagner today, in the case of Free- bern G. Smith against Joseph J. McNer- hany and wife, rendered a decision of much interest and;importance, both to the legal profession ama to business men. Mrs. McNerhany, so it appeared, pur- chased a piano frém Mr. Smith, paying a small amount to*him at the time, and agreeing to pay "the ‘balance in install- ments. To secure the payment of the bal- ance, she gave a chattel mortgage on the piano. The mortgage was not joined in, however, by her husband. Failing to meet the installments, after-she had met several of them, Mr. Smith filed a bill in equity against her and her husband to recover the instrument or the balance due on it. He filed the suit onthe equity side of the court, because, the mortgage being void, he could not sue at law. In disposing of the case today Judge Hag- ner held that the proceedings in equity were properly instituted, and he decreed that Mrs. McNerhany shall be given a reason- able time in which to pay the balance due Mr. Smith on the plano. But if she fails to do that the judge decided that-the piano must be sold, and the proceeds therefrom applied to the payment of the balance due Mr, Smith, Mrs. McNerhany to receive the difference, If any there shail be. —— Bryan‘’s Missouri Majority.
