FIFTH AND SEVENTH SAFE

The national campaign which ends to- night has been a remarkably quiet one in Alabama, the only exceptions from this rule being in the Fifth and Seventh dis tricts, where the Democratic nominees have considerable opposition
 A solid Democratic delegation will be elected tomorrow to represent the State in the next Congress. The Republicans and Populists have made no fight in seven of the districts, and the other two are con- sidered absolutely safe for the Democratic nominees. Until the past two or three weeks some fear existed as to the result in the Fifth and Seventh districts, but the active and effective canvass made by the Democrats in each of those districts has placed them safely in the Democratic col- umn. In the Fifth district all doubt was removed when the Thompson-Brewer mud dle was settled and the Democracy united on one candidate. In the Seventh MT. Bur- nett, who has so ably represented the dis trict in the present Congress, has made an aggressive campaign and will be elected oyer his Repubncan-Populite opponent by a majority variously estimated at from 25OO to 35OO. Three weeks ago his majority
 was estimated at not exceeding 20O0 but
 many changes have taken place since then, and the campaign committee now believes his majority will go considerably over 5000. The Democratic nominees for Congress
 in the nine districts in Alabama are as fol- lows:
 First District-George W. Taylor MT.
 Taylor has opposition, but it has been of q
 weak and ineffective nature.
 Second District-Col. A A. Wiley; no
 opposition.
 Third District-Henry D. Clayton; no op-
 position.
 Fourth District-Sldney J. Bowie; no op-
 position.
 Fifth District = Charles w. Thompson;
 opposed by W.-J. Milstead, Republican.
 Sixth District-Col John II. Bankhead;
 no opposition. Seventh District-John L. Burnett; op-
 posed by Napoleon B. Spears, Populte-
 Republican candidate
 Eighth District-Judge William Richard
 son; opposed by Albert N. Holland, Re- publican. Ninth District-Oscar W. Underwood; no | opposition. It will be seen that in five of the nine | districts the Democrats have no opposition at all 1 Alabama is entitled to eleven votes in | the electoral college, which really elects the | President and Vice-Presdent of the United 1 States.
