MABYLAND.
nallimorc, Nov. 6. McKinley has carried Marj
land beyond the shadow of .1 doubt, ihc only
question to be settled being the size of his ma
jority. With practically complete returns fiom
the city he has a. majority here of about 6,500,
while from the state scattering returns indi
cate an udditoiml surplus of .1,500, making his
total majority in the state about 10,000. It is
alo certain that the Republicans hale elected
four out of the six congressmen, while the re
maining two will probably be Democratic al
though later return may change this outlook.
Baltimore, Nov. 0. Murray Vandiier, chair
man of the Democratic state central committee,
concedes Maryland to McKinley.
Baltimore, Nov. 0. Three election precincts
other organizations received returns at
their respectlvo quarters, over private
wires, and entertained with smokers
and luncheons.
At Congressman Connell's ofllce In

FIRST RETURN.
The first return from the county
came from tho First ward of Dun
inore, tho home of Mr, Spencer, who
"also ran" for congress. The report
sl'.owed that tho First district of this
ward gave Connell I2S; Conry SO, and
Spencer 30. The news was very grati
fying to the Republicans nnd was
cheotlly passed from lip to lip,
Complete local returns were very
slow In coming In, There weren't
enough at hand at 10.80 o'clock to glvn
even an Intimation of how any vot,
was going. Tho only dellnltu news

few straight tickets. This, taken In
connection with the unusually large
size of thu ballot, convinced the wait

more than a few scattering returns be.
