AT GEN. MAHONE's HOME.
Warm Contest in the Fourth yir-
ginin District.

gfnin District.
Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
PETERSBURG. Va, No, ember 5.-The
liveliest interest Is felt here as to the 1e-
suit of the election In the state and in the
fourth congressional district tomorrow. The
democrats and republicans are both claim
ing the state, and also the fourth district.
Mr.. VIM. r. McKerney of this city. the
democratic nomire e for Congress from this
district, made his last speech of the cam
pai8r at POwhatan Court House today. He
told The Star correspondent before leay-
ing the city that he was confident of his
election II the democrats CT Petersburg
would only turn out In full force and vote
for him.
Mr.. l. +. Calvert, chairman of the city
republican central committee, told me this
morning that he believed Mr.. r. T. Thorp,
their candidate for Congress from the
fourth district, would be elected by 5000
majority
Gen. Malone. chairman of the republican
state committee, when asked for his views
on the situation, said: mo man in this
state or country can give an intelligent
opinion as to the result OF the election in
this commonwealth, such are the Infamous
liabilities of fraud designedly covered by
the existing machine election law. Under
1t there can be no free expression OF the
popular Will and no honest return of the re-
suit in any election.
II SuCn an eleCt1OIf ana return were pos
sible, democratic machine candidates in six
of the ten districts would be overwhelming
ly defeated, and yet despite the machine,
the probabilities strongly are that five of
such candidates will be defeated anyway
Such, indeed, Is the wonderful revolt going
on in the ranks of the democratic masses
Lack of money and employment and dis
tressingly low prices for every species of
home production have disheartened them
and banished sentiment from it's previous
influence over political action.
Maj. Mann Page. leader of the populists
in the state, IL in the city today and told
The Star representative that he thought
the chances between McKenney and Thorp
were decidedly In McKenneys favor on ac-
count of the present. Walton election law
He said this law is not satisfactory to fair
minded democrats, republicans or popu-
lists. and is the cause of much bitterness
of feeling on the part of the colored voters
Maj. Page adds: Had the Walton bill had
no constable 1t would have been more sat

ALABAMA.
In Four Districts the Democrats Are
Apprehensfve.

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
BIRMINGHAM, Ala, November BIN
only four districts In Alabama are the
democrats apprehensive as to the results.
These are the fifth. where A. GOODWIN.
populist, opposes Congressman Cobb, demo-
crat; the fourth, where w. +. Aldrich, re-
publican, is pitted against Congressman
Robbins, democrat; the seventh. where M.
w. Howard, populist, is opposing Congress
man benson. democrat; the ninth. where
1. H. Aldrich. republican, Is running
against o. w. Underwood, democrat.
Many conservative democrats are about
ready to admit that benson will be de-
feated in the seventh district by Howard,
pcpulist The fight in the fifth will be
much closer than was expected, and the
Iopulists claim they will win If they get a
fair election. The republicans make the same
claims in the fourth and ninth districts
The fifth district here, thought to be GER
tainly democratic, Is now regarded as
doubtful. The democrats say, however,
they will elect eight congressman, and a
large vote will be polled.

THE ELECTION RETURNS.
How They VIII 10 Displayed BY The
Evening Star.

How They VIII 10 Displayed BY The
Evening Star.
All this morning, workmen were busy
erecting two mamlnoth wooden frames In
front Of The Evening Star office. The work
attracted a large crowd Of people. ana
many and various were the remarks passed
upon 1t. and many were the explanations
for its purpose These were all given IN a
spirit Of fun. however. for every one knew
that the frames were being put up to hold
the great screens which will be used to-
morrow night to give the latest election re-
turns. Unusually elaborate arrangements
have been made to get the fullest and most
complete news from, all parts Of the coun-
try. and the people Of Washington can follow
the returns from every section by simply
taking position on the avenue side Of The
Star Office and getting the information by
a flash of light. Two great stereopticons
will be used. and the very latest as 1t
comes into the Office over special wires, will
be spread on the canvas as quick as
wink. Special attention will be paid to New
York, West Virginia and other states where
the interest Is at fever heat, and In addition
to regular and unsurpassed telegraphic
service The Stars special correspondents
at these focal points will supply the Wash
ington public with frequent full and unbi-
ased bulletins giving the latest news In
their sections. No better place for the COM
fort and accommodation Of large crowd
could be found than the wide stretch Of
street In front Of The Star Office, and The
Star extends a hearty invitation to every
one to come and be enlightened.

cratic pluralities of eO1, 900 In New York
city, 10000 in Kings county, 1000 in Rich
mond county, and, perhaps. 1000 in Queens
county.
These estimates concede large reductions
from the pluralities of Cleveland in 1892
The republican claim Is that the counties
below the Harlem will have to overcome q
republican plurality Of from Sc, 900 to $4,000
IL Hill shall be elected.
What Is regarded as a potent factor In the
result In the state Is the fight that has been
waging against the municipal rule of Tam
many Hall. The work of the committee of
seventy has been aggressively prosecuted.
The committee has had the assistance of the
clergy to an extent that has probably never
been eQualed. even In the days Immediately
preceding the fall Of the Tweed-Tammany
ring In 1871. The expectation is that the re-
suit Of all this ardor on the state candidates
viii be nearly as perceptible as on the
mayoralty contest.
But in spite Of the forces arrayed against
MIN, Grant, the Tammany candidate for
mayor. processes the utmost confidence Of
success ..----.
Members of the state democracy, he af-
firms, are breaking away from the cen
troll Of ex-Mayor Grace and enrolling them
selves under the Tammany standard.
Betting today continues, as 1t has for
several days. at odds of five to two In IA
vor Of Morton for governor. An exception
was bet of 5000 to $1,000, which NJ. T.
Owyer made on Hill. Dwyer, who was
repi esented to have $4,000 to wager, could
not be induced to place any of it on Grant
The latest actual wager on the stock ex-
charge was 500 to 1000 on Hill. Betting
men are predicting that the Odds will be
one against Grant by the time the crowds
gather in the betting resorts tonight.
Richard Croker, 1t Is alleged, has made
one bet, but not on the election of Hill or
Grant. His wager was that the constitu-
tional amendment prohibiting pool selling
would be defeated.

MINNEAPOLIS, Mimi, November s.
The republicans seem to have made con-
siderable Roadway in the closing days of
the campaign in the northwest. week
ago there was the greatest fear in the re-
publican camp in Minnesota that a wave
or populism was about TO sweep the state
electing s. NJ. Owen governor and a repub-
hcan legislature. which would send to
Washington a populist or a democrat to
succeed Washburn, and possibly one popu-
list Congressman from the seventh district.
The danger was met by the cry that the
commercial interests of the state would be
Jeopardized and it's financial standing in
Jured In the east by populist success. Kan
sas and Colorado were held up as awful
examples of the results of populist misrue.
The effect has been decided revulsion of
feeling and republican hopes are now high

chance In the other two, the third and the
seventh.

s,onal gamblers, wh5 keep pretty well ad-
vised as to Tammany's plans, are keeping
very shy of bets of any character on any
side.
This is why republican money. which is
offered abundantly enough, finds few
takers. and the odds set in heavily against
the democrats. The cold-blocded gamblers
have not decided as yet to have anything
to do with this game. Men who are In tn =
habit of betting freely. either with CT
against their party feeling. say that they
do not care to venture anything
This indicates strongly enough that up
to this hour Tammany has not given any
tip strong enough to be followed by their
betting friends.
The congressional situation continues very
unsatisfactory to the democrats.
The reports from Brooklyn indicate I'M
certainty In nearly all the districts and
general uneasiness among the democrats.
There Is said to be no Improvement In The
Slckles or in the Cantor district in New
York city.
In McClellan's district the situation Is re-
ported as improved, and there is a similar
report as to Cummings district. Cummings
is having hard fight, but will probably
be elected.

The Pecan Of Peace.

With ever some wrong to be Fighting,
With self ever seeking for place,
The world has been striving and fighting
Since man was evolved out of space.
Bold history into dark regions
His tOrchlight has fearlessly cast;
He shows us tribes warning in legions,
In the jungle of ages long passed.
Religion. forgetting her station,
Forgetting her birthright from God,
Set nation to warning with nation
And scattered dissension abroad.
Dear creeds have made men kill each other,
Fair faith has bred hate and despair,
And brother has battled with brother
Because of difference in prayer.
But earth has grown wiser and kinder,
For man Is evolving soul;
From wars of an age that was binder
We rise to a peace girdled goal.
Where once men would murder in treason,
And slaughter each other in hortles,
They now meet together and reason,
With thoughts for their weapons, no.
swords.
The brute in humanity dwindles
And lessons as time speeds along
And the spark Of divinity kindles
And blazes up brightly and strong.
The seer can behold in the distance
The race that shall people the world
Strong men Of godlike existence,
Charmed, and with war banners furled.
No longer the bloodthirsty savage
Mans vast spirit strength shall unfold;
And tales Of red warfare and ravage
Shall seem like ghost stories of old.
For the booming of guns and the rattle
OF carnage and conflict shall cease,
And the bugle call leading to battle
Shall change to pecan of peace.
Ella Wheeler Wilcox.

Nor by what wayside well the Lord hc met

Memories.

I'm not dissatisfied with life,
For have more Of joy than strife,
And for ono smile of my sweet mate
Would render up kings estate.
And yet hot tears suffuse mine eye
When reflect on days gone by
Those days Of childhood happy days,
Obscured now somewhat in the haze
Which time lays over all things past;
Yet living still, and like to last.
Within my memory; long as
Can think and love I'll sadly sigh
For happy hours that ne'er again to me in life
may come,
When mother was my confidante and father
was my chum.
My troubles-how she smoother them o'erl
Her smile alone healed sorrows sore.
Her gentle hand upon my brow
l think almost feel it now
Drove every single care away
And brought sunshine where blank dsmay
Was tyrannizing over me-
And now his CHEEKY face see;
His kindly voice seem to hear
Still echoing softly in my car.
My cherished guide, in spirit, yet
All, memory blest! III ne'er forget
Those happy hours that meier again TO me in
life may come,
When mother was my confidante and father
was my chum.

GEMS IN VERSE,

We Live in Deeds, Not Years.
We live in deeds, not years; in thoughts, not
breaths;
In feelings, not in figures on dial.
We should count time by heart throbs. He
most lives
Who thinks most, feels the noblest, acts the
best.
And he whose heart beats quickest lives the
longest
Lives in one hour more than In years do some
Whose fat blood Sleeps as it slips along their
veins.
Keep the spirit pure
From worldly faint by the repellent strength
OF virtue. Think on noble thoughts and deeds
Ever. Still count the rosary Of truth,
And practice precepts which are proven wise.
Walk boldly and wisely in the light thou hast
There is q hand above will help thee on.

Yet to be relit in its place in heaven.

Beautiful Things.

Beautiful Things.
Beautiful faces are those that wear
Itmatters little if dark or fair
Whole souled honesty printed there.
Beautiful eyes are those that show,
Like crystal pancs where hearth fires glow
Beautiful thoughts that burn below.
Beautiful lips are those whose words
Leap from the heart like song of birds,
Yet whose utterance prudence girds.
Beautiful hands are those that do
Work that Is earnest and brave and true,
Moment by moment, the long day through
Beautiful feet are those that go
On kindly ministries to and fro,
Down lowliest ways, If God wills it so.
Beautiful shoulders are those that bear
Ceaseless burdens of homely caro-
With patient grace and daily prayer.
Beautiful lives are those that bless
Silent rivers and happiness
Whose hidden fountains but few may guess
Beautiful twilight at set of sun;
Beautiful goal, with race we'll won;
Beautiful rest, with work we'll done.
Beautiful graves, where grasses creep,
Where brown leaves fall, where drifts liz
deep
Over wornout hands-oh, beautiful sleep
