CONTESTS.
Indications That the Next Congress
Will Have to Settle Many
Controversies.
MOSTLY FROM THE SOUTH
Alabama, Virginia, Kentucky, Arkan-
sas and Louisiana Districts in
Dispute.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 9.-The indica-
tions are that the 54th congress will
open with numerous contests for seats
in the house of representatives from
the Southern states. Reports received
ct Republican headquarters make it
plain that unless there is change
either of mind or conditions there will
be at least three contests from Louis
lana, one or two from Virginia
and of some from North Carolina and
Tennessee, with possibility of such
contests from Alabama, Kentucky and
Arkansas. Secretary Ferris of the
Louisiana Republican committee claims
in telegram to Chairman Babcock OF
the national committee that the Demo-
Gratis have been defeated in three of the
congressional districts, but expresses
the conviction that they will be counted
ont, ind says that
Contests WIN Be Made
for the three seats in the house. He
adds that fraud, intimidation and vio-
le1rce can be proven. The Republicans
in the Seventh Virginia district assert
that the Democratic candidate in the
district il defeated by a majority of at
least 300, but claim that they have evi-
dence that the count is being manipu.
lated so as to reverse the result, and say
their candidate, Walker, by name, will
contest Congressman Settle repre-
selits that but for fraudulent practices
in North Carolina, the Republicans
would carry the state. He has been
authorized by Chairman Babcock to
employ counsel to represent the Repub'
licans in every county of the state. II
is probable that some of these contests
involving congressman, will not be set
tied until they reach the house.

DENVER, Nov. o. McIntyre's plu-
rality for governor is estimated at lO,-
900 ON the basis Of returns so far re-
ceived from all over the state. In

missing. Waite ran 1900 Votes behind

Bowen's Seat IN Doubt.

DENVER, Nov. 9.--In spite of the
positive announcement from Pueblo,
Colo, that Thomas M. Bowen, Rep, is
elected congressman, the result in the
Second district still seems to be in
doubt. Returns, official and estimated,
received here from every county in the
district, give Bell, Pop, 2,2o7 majority
over Bowen.

ST.. LOUIS, Nov. 9.-The result of the
Missouri election is becoming clear,
and the extent of Republican success
tolerably well defined. There is now
almost no doubt that the Republican
state ticket has been successful The
Republicans, in comparison with two
years ago, had a plurality of 29,661 to
overcome Fifty seven counties out of
ia show net Republican gain of
1879. The same ratio for the remain
ilag 81 would elect Robsinson supreme
Judge, j. III. Kirk superintendent of
schools, and Joseph Flory, railroad
Commissioner, by not less than 5000
plnaraIity. In the state house OF rep
resentafives, the Republicans have
made gains enough to give them a
ma ajo44ty cf the legislature ON joint bal
lot, but the senate of itself, by hold
over members, will remain Democratic.
At Least Seven Congressmen.
In the congressional districts it is
now fairly established that the First
(Hatch's), Fourth (Ellison's), Sixth
(Dearmond's), Seventh (Heard'sI
Ninth tChamp Clark's), Thirteenth
(Fox's), Fourteenth (Arnold's). and
Fifteenth (Morgan's) have been carried
by the Republicans. The Eighth
(Blaud's) ID still in doubt, as also the
Third {Dockery's). The Tenth and
Eleventh (St Louis) are also Republi-

Here is the latest story they are telling
around the Stock Exchange. 1t relates to
Napoleon of finance who formerly specu-
lated in Chicago and afterward picked out
promising town in Iowa and decided to
"build it up" He moved to the town, or
ganized number of stock companies, start
ed bank, deposited all the money of the
companies in his own bank and then went
into bankruptcy. Some of the principal
sufferers went to his home to learn wheth-
er anything could be saved from the wreck.
They found him in a magnificent apart
ment, and he was very sorry for them.
81 regret very much, gentlemen" said
he, "but | have practically nothing left.
My wife owns this house and some bust
ness property, but have nothing. Believe
me, if could do such a thing would give
you my body and let it be divided among
you, for there is nothing else | can give"
whats that proposition?n asked a
rather deaf old gentleman, who was stand
ing at the back of the mournful company.
'He says" explained one of the suffer
ers, THAT we can take his body and divide
it up among us.
''Well, in that case" said the deaf old
gentleman, 81 speak for his gall"

Yankee Stubbornncss.

The true story of the three aged spinster
sisters of Salem dying within a fortnight
of one another, and especially of the
younger ones half-century of obstinate
staying indoors, reads like a chapter from
Miss Wilkins's new novel. The Yankee
stubbornness handled with artistic grace in
Pembroke" appears unadorned in the
persistence of the Salem woman. Accord
Ing to current reports, having refused so
years ago to marry her lover on the date
he fixed and go West with him, and hav-
ing declared that if he left Salem she
would never go out of doors again, she
stuck to it till she died. In "Pembroke,"
the present condition of Barney Thayer's
obstinacy seems to be melting, as this
real lovers did, in the smile of another
girl. But take it altogether, the quality
of stubbornness, when not too much
strained, is a most admirable trait of New
England human nature. Perverted, it is,
of course, terrible thing, torturing to all
possessed of it; but it has been a history
making quality in its best estate, and one
that has helped to make the glory for the
land. The Salem woman of long ago who
would not say she was witch, wit declar-
ed that there is no such thing as witch
craft, and went to her death for it, was
made of the same stuff as this stern spin
ster who stayed indoors all her days
because she said she would. Reverence
for ones own spoken word is good
thing. This stubborn lady of Salem,
whom her friends mourn, will not be
laughed at by those who appreciate the
truth that under all the self-will of a case
like hers there is something fine as well as
something funny. The backbone of a
Yankee is hard to break and this has
proved fortunate for the country in times
past, and twill doubtless, prove fortunate
in times to come.-BOSton Transcript.

Mount Rainier or Tacomai

In the controversy over the name of this
mountain all the rivalry between Tacoma
and Seattle finds expression. ! know of
one Tacoma man who refused to be intro
duced to person whom he had been most
anxious to meet because he happened to
everhear the latter refer to Mount Rainier
In Seattle many subscribers were once
obtained IAN eastern magazine in which an
article on their city was to appear. 1t was
published, and was as laudatory of them
as the most cautious Seattleite could de-
sire, but not a copy was sold in city, nor
would a subscriber allow a copy to enter
his house, because, by an objectionable
oversight, the writer had called the disput-
ed mountain Tacoma"
In the Seattle stationary shops they
keep slips of paper with "Mount Rain
ier'' neatly printed on them for FASTING
over the "Mount Tacoma that sometimes
appears on maps they are obliged to sell.
The also carefully erase the words mount
Tacoma from all souvenir photographs
bearing it that come into their possession
and substitute "Mount Rainier before
selling them. No doubt these same things
are done in Tacoma, only in reversed
order.
The Tacoma man will explain with
convincing earnestness that Ta-ko-mah
was the aboriginal name of the mountain
for centuries before the white settlement tof
the country; that it is not only euphonious,
but beautifully poetical in its meaning
"the breast that nourshes." "Surely,"
he will say, "a most appropriate name for
mountain whose glacial streams perpetu-
ally nourish the plains at its feet. And
who was this Rainier, anyhow? An En-
gishman who not only never saw this
country, but was inimcal to it ard its in
sttutions."
When you repeat this to your friend in
Seattle he will assume fine expression of
mingled scorn and pity for your credulity,
and explain: THAT'S all bosh. Tacoma
doesn't mean anything of the kind. The
word simply means mountain, and nothing
more. As for the name Rainier, it was
given by Vancouver, the first white man
who ever saw the mountain, and who GER
tainly earned the right to name what he
discovered. "-HUpe'S Weekly.

wall of the fort at Spottsylvania in the
blody angle, and was the only man that
lived in that spot. Mr.. Noyes was
