in it under Democratic dictation it will
only be to fasten its Objectionable fea-

BALTIMORE. Md, Nov. 4.-The eve
OF Maryland's most critical political
battle finds the issue enshrouded in
doubt. Both sides are claiming vic
tory, but the tones in which they
make their boasts and the figures they
cite as basis for their alleged belief
do not carry conviction to the mind of
an unprejudiced onlooker. The fact
is that everybody is at sea. because in
the present contest the silent voter is
greater factor than he has ever bsen
IN the history of Maryland politics.
The hurrah part OF the battle is over,
and the position of those who partici-
pated In it is known and their votes
already counted by the party managers,
but the ballot OF the silent voter is still
in his vest pocket. and this year his
name is legion. The fierce and por~
sistent attacks upon Senator German
and the GU cry against what his op-
ponents term "Gormanism," has un-
doubtedly influenced many who have
heretofore voted the Democratic ticket,
and will induce them to vote against
Hurst. who Is known as Mr.. Gorman's
candidate.
Upon the other hand, the very bitter
ness OF the attack has brought Mr.. Cor
mans friends closer to him than ever
before. and they will get out every vote
at their command.

IN the absence of significant circum-
stances to the contrary no man can pos
sibly know the thoughts and underlying
motives of another except as he may eX-
press them. But when the actions of
an individual discredit his statements,
the public has legitimate right to as
sumo and believe that his actions are in
accord with his real opinions and reveal
the secret motives proceeding from
them. This is particularly verified
when such acts distinctly advance his
own interests. Since the days of the
Great Napoleon it has bean we'll UNDER
stood that practical politicians gener-
ally proceed upon the eminently dis
Greet theory first enunciated by Talley.,
rand that Language was given US to
conceal our thoughts and not to express
them"

The Voting Precincts
VIRGINIA.,

RICHMOND, Va, Nov. Virginia is
not storm center this year, as no i'm
portant issues are involved and no State
officers are to be elected. The campaign
has been listless and light vote is ex-
pected tomorrow. Half of tho Nom bers
OF the State senate and the entire house
OF delegates will be chosen, blu. as the
legislature does not select Uaited
State Senator the legislative contest hiss
not been animated.
The main issue is on the revision of
the election laws, the Republicans and
Populists urging that the present Wal
Ton election law has the effect Of giving
the dominant party control of the entire
election machinery Of the State.

BosToN, Nov. 4.-The Republicans
OF the city and State brought their
campaign to close with two grand
mass meetings ct noon to-day, one
under the auspices Of the Market Mans
Republican Club in Faneuil Hall and
the other in charge OF the Republican
State committee at Music Hall. At the
former Senator George f. Hoar, of Wor-
cester, divided honors with Governor
Greenhalge.
Governor Greenhalge Is expected to
be second time e.elected with q de-
creased majority, the difference being
accentuated more or less by general
apathy. The entire State Repu blican
ticket. as customary, will follow the
leaders and. while the senatorial and
representative fights on local issues,
there promises to be little change,
thereby leaving TIE complexion Of tho
next general court as during the past
year.
The principal local issue has been
preoipitated by the recent census bulle-
tins, for the increase in population calls
for an entire redis.ricting OF the State
next year. The largest possible ma
jority in the legislature is accordingly
an object worth fighting for in tho
opinion of controlling powers in both
parties, Election day is expected to be
very quiet throughout the State.

LOUISVILLE, KY, Nov. 4.-One of the
hottest cam paiRns known in the history
OF this State for many years has closed
and II the weather is fair Kentucky to-
morrow will poll the largest vote ever
given. The fight, though there are four
tickets in the field, is between the Re-
publicans and Democrats for the State
offices beginning with governor and
running down to district railroad COM
missioner.
For time it locked as though the
popuiists would poll large vote, but
the old parties claim to have whipped
the would be deserters back into line,
and now ut the close of the battle
royal, the finish is between Hardin,
(Democrat) and Bradley. (Repu blican)
for first honor-the office of governor.
Hardin's partisnns and managers
claim that he will ccme to this CITY
with Is 600 majority, while the friends
of Bradley claim no will win by not
less than 10000.
In this city there are three tickets,
Democratic. Republican and Citizens.
The A. P. A. vote, said to be about
$4,000, will be cast for the Republican.
The probabilities are that the city will
60 Republican by perhaps 8, 900.
In addition to State and city offices
nineteen Senators and 100 mem ers of
the House are to be elected, and this
legislature in turn will elect q United
States Senator to succeed j. G. S. Black
burn. In this body the Democrats will
have the advantage OF nineteen hold
over Senators. There is little doubt
that the Democrats will have majority
enough to elect the Senator without
trouble.

OMAHA, Neb., Nov. ALL voters
throughout Nebraska have their ewes on
Omaha tonight and the city is restless.
The campaign has conferred around
Omaha almost exclusively. All concede
that the Republican candidates for
chief justice and regents will be elected.
Since they are the only State officials
little attention Is paid to that part OF
the election. The gold and silver Dem
ocrats, however, have exhibited some
spirit and each faction asserts that
their State candidates will poll the full
strength OF their wing and in that man
ner the relative number of the voters
favoring or opposing the white metal in
Nebraska.
In Omaha the battle has been hot,
hotter in fact than in any previous con-
test. Early in the fall the city was
startled by the discovery that the city
treasurer and his deputy were short

NEW YORK's POLICE.
A Captain and IA Wardman Ordered
Reinstated.

New York, June S.-The general term of
the court of common pleas handed down
a decision to-day reversing the order of
the board of police commissioners in dis
missing Police Captain William S. Dew
cry and Wardman Edward Glennon from
the police force and ordered that they be
reinstated.
The opinion is written by Judge Pryor
the court concurring. The matter came be-
fore the court at the May term upon the
application of Capt. Devery for a writ of
certiorari to review the determination of
the board of police commissioners in dis
missing him from the force.
John c. Sheehan was the only commis-
sioner who voted against Capt. Devery's
dismissal.
Capt. Devery was charged with having
received bribes from proprietors of houses
OF lll-fame. He was too sick to appear at
his trial before the commissioners, but
notwithstanding the fact that certificates
70 that effect were submitted by Col
James, counsel for Capt. Devery, the board
forced on the trial. This, the general
term held to be improper. Wardman
Glennon objected to being tried without
having the benefit of Capt Devery's tes,
timony but the board of police commits
sloners would not adjourn the trial and
ne was dismissed on charges of accepting
bribes. He also asked for reinstatement
