GORMAN IS BEATEN.

Republicans Control the LegitUtir* in Maryland According to Associated Press diepatches. an official count of the ballots cast in Maryland leaves no further room for doubt that the Republicans have control of both branches of the Legislature and that a Republican will succeed Arthur I*. Gorman in the United States Senate. The Republicans have forty-nine

members in the House and the Democrats forty-two. The Republicans nlso have eighteen Senators to eight for the Democrats, and a majority on joint ballot of seventeen. Among those mo?t ■prominently mentioned ns the probable successor to Senator Gorman nre Alexander Shaw, former Congressman John V.

L. Findlay, Postmaster General Gary and Congressman Sidney E. Mudd. The result will make no immediate change in Senator Gorman's plans, as his term does not expire until March 4, 1899. Mr. Gorinuu will not be troubled by the howling of the traditional wolf of poverty at his door. He probably could draw his check for 83,000.000 without an indorsement. His money was made largely through lucky investments in some coal and iron land* in western Maryland. Mr. Gorman will be missed in the Senate. In one way and another he has been associated with this body at various times since 1832, when be entered it as a page. In January, 1880, he was elected to the United States Senate to succeed William Pinckney White. He took his seat March 4, 1881, and was re-elected in 1880 and in 1802.

SENATOR GORMAN.
