THE MARYLAND CAMPAIGN.

Close of the Most Bitter Contest Ever Known in the State—The Tickets—Estimates of the Result.

Special Dispatch.

BALTIMORE, Nov. 4.—The state campaign which has just been brought to a close has been the most bitter contest ever known in the political history of Maryland. More personalities have been indulged in than ever known in a canvass before. The public and private records of nearly all the leading candidates, and of many of the less important nominees, have been overhauled and held up to the public in the hope of winning votes. What effect this may have remains to be seen; but, as a prominent republican remarked to your correspondent to-day, "Such criticisms as have been indulged in against our candidates will only add to their votes. Such abuse is always discounted by honest, thoughtful men, and there will be plenty of them who will take a hand in the coming election."

Estimates of the result on Tuesday vary, the democratic leaders claiming the state and city for McLane by an aggregate majority of from 8,000 to 10,000, while the republicans are equally confident of carrying the legislature and the three reform candidates in the city—sheriff, clerk of the superior court, and state's attorney—indorsed by the republicans. The canvas throughout the state has been very thorough, and a very full republican vote will be polled. The following is a complete list of candidates:

The recent municipal election resulting in the election of ten members of the first branch of the city council and three members of the second branch has placed the democratic leaders in a serious dilemma. The first branch is blocked by a tie vote, and thus far all efforts to effect a compromise have been unsuccessful. The council meets to organize at 5 o'clock to-morrow afternoon. At noon Mayor Whyte retires, and Gen. F. C. Latrobe takes his place.
