Hayes Triumph in Ballimore Mayoral Fight Under New Charter

Hon Thomas G Hayes the Democratic mayoral nominee defeated Republican William T Malster by 8712 votes in Baltimore Tuesday last. Democrats swept second and most first branch seats, in a quiet election under the new charter. The turnout showed strong Democratic gains across wards and signals a return to city political moorings. Col J Frank Supplee says Baltimore is a Democratic city and the state may follow in November and 1900. The charter now makes many offices elective, reducing the number appointed.
