* ; WASHINGTON , Oct. 14.-Three ireeks
hence the ?ot?is of the United Stoles
??? pass in jucgmeat upon the El ar ri?
sos admitrWaion sad the record "of
tao Fifty-first Congress st its first ses
MOO. The Cromwellian rete of Speaker
Seed, the economic polioy of Major
McKinley sud the Lodge force biliare
each of them distinctive features of the
Republican pol ic j and are to be ap?
proved or condemned st the polls bj
' the American people.
Of sil the isaacs which will tend to
shape the result, tte new tariff law is
likely ^prove^t? a most potent factor in
det@fffi??g?1v because its effects are
so fer teaching aaa it comes home to
- every individual consumer in the land.
While President Harrison was elected
on the protective tariff issues by a
minority io thc electoral college, the
" Republican leaders never intimated that
they proposed to go to the lengths of the
measure that has just become a law.
The biil has been passed despite the
protects of a large and important element
of toe popoi&tioo. Already its effects
sro Wag-felt. Prices are slowly but
. steadily going np on articles of almost
universal conaampticn. On the other
hand wages have not acted io sympathy
with pri?e?. The home industries,
which are expected to receive snob sn
- im pete? by reason of the new tariff,
cannot experience it until the large
stock of foreign goods which has been
mid ia becomes exhausted.
The effect of all this most operate to
the detriment of the Republicans, sod
nowhere more iban in the agricultural
States of the West, where the farming
interests are greatly depressed. Sena?
tors Paddock of Nebraska, Pettigrew of
Sooth Dakota and Plomb of Kansas
realised thia folly . > they voted
against the McKinley oil i oo its final
passage, and to doing so they represent?
ed the views of their constituents. The
sboeoce of harsh criticism of their
votes in tho col um os of the Republican
papers in those. States proves this in?
contestably.
lae force bill has bsd the effect of
nerving np the Sc nthern Democrats to
a supreme effort and very few Republi?
cans will sit in the next Congress from
that section. So strong is the feeling
on the subject that M r. MoComas, who
has been repeatedly elected to represent
the Sixth District of Maryland as a
Republican, w thought this year to be
in danger of defeat. The same thing
will apply to Congressman Bro wer of
North Carolina, who has twice been
elected aa a Republican. No efforts
will be spared by the Democrats in the
Sosta to carry every district possible
and sn increased Democratic represen*
tatbo may be expected.
in thia connection it is advisable to
touch on a movement which is attract?
ing widespread attention and which
is expected to play sn important part io
.tba fataro politics of the country. I
refer te Cte Farmers' Alliance. The
Rffpablicsns are laying the flattering
aaoeiea eo their souls that through this
?edge they will be abie to break op the
solid Sooth sad perhaps prevent the
Democrats from organizing the next
House. Io thu they are likely to be
badly deceived.
Trae, io auto? districts in the Sooth,
affisyo mea have defeated Democratic
veterans for the nomination. This
happened in six of the ten Georgia
?striete. Bot st was merely a primary
ooo teat, sad the nominees are running
. as Democrats and with the ooderstaod
jng that they will participate io the
Democratic canoas. They well know
that to prove recreant to this pledge
wocld doom them to fotore political
ehttvioo. The Southern Alliance Dem
oersts Trill stood by their party.
. Rot in the Western States the Re
oabUeaos are trying to utilize the alli?
ance and, with some success. Io several
Sutes, io close and doobtfol districts,
they nave indorsed alliance candidate?
ar have secured the nomination of alli?
ance candidates who had been lifelong
Republicans. This is notably the case
ia dbe Eighteenth Illinois District.
?hero the President of the Farmers'
Alfiaaee of that. Snit? is the Republican
candidate for Congress.
This coquetting of tbe Republicans
with the alliance mea may lose a few
districts to the Democrats, bot only
very few, for most of the Western
States are Repoblieso and have been
carefully gerrymandered io the Repub?
lican ioterest, and where there is a
Democratic dis trie, it is usually large?
ly Democratic The Ohio Democrats
have adopted the system this year sod
propose to try it, and great is the wail?
ing and gnashing of teeth among the
followers of the grand old party at
?hat they are pleased to term the "in?
festons Democratic gerrymander/'
The following figures will show the
situation at a glance: First we will
take the Sooth. Ia the present Con?
gress from that section the Democrats
have 104 members sod tbe Republicans
17 ; io the next Congress the Demo?
crats will likely have 107 aod the
Republicans 14, being a gain of 3 for
the Democrats so the Sooth. Io 1888
the Democrats lost one of the Baltimore
districts by carelessness. Stockbridge,
Republican, defeating Raynor, Den o
crst, by 80 votes. Mr. Raynor is
again a candidate and will sorely be
elected. The Fifth district of Mary?
land, carried by Campton, Democrat,
hy 121 votes to 1888 (be was after?
ward onseatec,) has been strengthened
by the addition of a Democratic ward of
Baltimore. While the Democrats are
hotly contesting the Sixth district,
MoComas, Republican, stand to wis.
In Virginia Professor Langston is
likely this year to carry the Petersburg
district oo his merits, bot there are two
Republican candidates io the Norfolk
district sod the division of the vote is
likely to result io the return of a Demo?
crat.
In North Carolina the Democrats
have a good prospect of regaining either
the Fifth or Nioth district, ?rower,
Republican, carried the former io 1888
by only 675 votes and Ewart the latter
hy 518. The vote io both districts was
a roll one. Cheetham tbe only original
colored member of the Boose, carried
the Second district by bot 653, bot his
district ss Repoblieso.
The Second district of Louisiana,
part o' the etty of New Orleans, was
* >y Coleman, Repoblieso, :
174 majority. It was entirely
das to Democratic dissension snd the
district this year will go heavily Demo
In Kentucky the Legislature h;
districted the State and ail the 8
Republican counties have been m
in one district. This assures a gi
one member to the Democrats.
The Legislature of Tennessee
also redistricted that State and
Third, or Chattanooga district, i
returned a Republican in 1888 bj
majority, had a thousand more E
eratic voters put into it.
The Republicans elected four t
hers to the present Congre?s
Missouri. Three of them were
St. Louis districts heretofore represt
by Democrats. It is safe to set
that at least one of them will be
deemed.
Four Democrats were returned
West Virginia in 1888 by small ms
ties, two of whom have since beeu
sealed. It is mir to divide the del
tion equally between the parties at
coming election, considering how <
the State is.
In-Arkansas the Republicans
likely to gain a member. They
none at the opeoing of the present (
gress, but unseated two Democi
So the result of the estimate soo?
net loss to the Republicans of three
a net gain to the Democrats of th re
sixteen Southern States.
In the Eastern States the Democ
now have 28 Congressmen, while
j Republicans have 57 It is es pe
j in the approaching election tba: the
ur-8 will s fand about as follows : Dc
cr ats 31, Republicans 64, being a ?
of 3 members for the De moer
Maine has already voted and ele*
four Republicans. In New fiampsl
the Democrats have a fair prospect
electing one member, ss they have
in Rhode island, bot both are cooee*
to the Republicans in the estimate.
Massachusetts only the two Bot
districts are pot down as Dem ocra
though the Democrats have hopes
others. The delegation is left tincha
ed. In Connecticut a gain of one ;
trick can be safely claimed by the Dei
crats. Io several Congresses they hi
had three members. The Republic
carried the first third and fourth c
tricia in 1888 by 813, 748 and 28 i
jori ty respectively..
In New York the Democrats are c
ceeded a gain of one district Tl
lost the Fifteenth District in 1888
74 vtes. In the Buffalo district Je
M. Farquhar bas been left out in
cold, and against the present Repul
can nominee Mr. Dan Lockwood, >
Democrat, can win. In the Tb ir
third the Republicans are as badly
vided as tn 1888, when John Wi
carried the district by 564. Ma
believe that the Republicans will 1<
the Rochester district, owing to t
unpopularity of their nominee, D
Voorhis. Mr Greeoleaf, the Deo
eratic candidate, beat bim several 'ye;
ago.
In New Jersey the Democrats ?
sure of the three districts they now hoi
and are likely to capture the News
district.
In Pennsylvania the bolt agaii
De lam aler, Senator Quay's candids
for Governor, is likely to affect the ck
districts, and in one of them, t
Twenty-fifth, two Republicans, are
the field, so that a Democratic ga
of one is not sn unreasonable claim.
From this section, including Nt
England and New York, New Jere
and Pennsylvania, a Democratic ga
of three and a Republican loss of thr
is claimed to be the probable result.
Lastly, the Western section of ti
country, embracing the nineteen i
maining States. Six of these-Nor
and South Dakota, Mootana, Washiu
ton, Wyoming and Idaho-did not vo
in 1888, though the first four did
1889 and their Representatives partie
pated in the organisation of the presei
House.
In this section a gain for the Dem
crats of eight members can be con!
dendy expected, and a correspondit;
loss by the Republicans, and when tl
test of political probabilities is applie
to this claim it will be readily seen th;
it is a conservative one.
In Ohio a Democratic gain of se ve
members is a very conservative elain
In the present Congress there are bi
five Democrats from Ohio to sixtee
Republicans. The "infamous" gerrj
mander which produced this result hz
been duplicated by the recent Dem(
eratic Legislature, with the shoe on tb
other foot, and fifteen districts bav
been constructed with Democratic ma
jorities ranging from six hundred t
three thousand. Six districts wet
made heavily Republican. In some c
the districts the Democratic majority i
small, notably in the Sixth, Eighth an
Thirteenth, where it does not excee
1,000, and so these districts are conced
ed to the Republicans in the estimate
Moreover, the Republicans themselve
concede eleven districts to the Demo
crats, and say that if they can keep th
Democrats down to that figure they wil
have won a great Republican victory.
Io 1888 the Indiana Democrats car
ried ten of the thirteen Congreesiooa
Districts. Six of the ten, however
were carried by less than 750 plurality
four of them by less than 500, and tw<
of them by less than 100 pluralty
the First District by 20 votes and th?
Eighth by 69. It is well known tba
the Republican managers sacrificer,
everything to secure the electoral vou
of the State for Harrison. It is there?
fore safe to assume that the Republi?
cans will gain two districts this year,
and they are accorded that in the esti?
mate.
In Michigan a gain of one is assured
to the Democrats. Io 1888 they los!
the Sixth District by only 367, and the
Tenth, or Bay City District, by only
115, and in the latter the Republican*
put forward their strongest candidate,
who is not io the field this year.
In Wisconsin the only gain claimed
for the Democrats is the Milwaukee
district. That city elected a Democra?
tic mayor this spring by over 6,000
majority, and on an issue which is the
issue in this campaign. While the
Democrats have nominated the million?
aire John Michell as their candidate,
the present Republican member, Vao
Schaick, who has never met defeat,
wooid not consent to run again. He
dropped out once before wheo Democra?
tic success was assured. In Iowa a
gain of ooe is claimed from the Repub?
licans La-1 year Governor Boles car?
ried five of the eleven districts in the
State. Certainly one of these should
elect a Democrat this year. The Iowa
district, now held by the Democrats,
and the two held by them iu Wiscon?
sin are largely Democratic aod safe.
The above are the only Western
States in which any Democratic gains
are claimed, though there is a good
prospect of defeating the Republican
candidates io both the Bist aod Fourth
California districts, now represented io
Congress bj Republicans. Tbe esti?
mate is intended to be conservative, and
gives to the Republicans everything
they can possibly hope to carry.
To som np, the Republicans cannot
hope to secure more than fourteen
members in the South, sixty-four in the
East and seventy-nine in the West, and
to secure this representation they are
accorded nearly every doubtful district.
The representation ?ill then stand near?
ly as follows :
Republicans. Democrats.
East 64 31
West 79 37
South 14 107
Total 157 375
Democratic majority at lowest calcu?
lation-18.
Arrests of Democrats in
Hampton.
The outrage mill has begun to grind
in South Carolina. In Hampton coun?
ty Messrs. M. B McSweeney,.s W. J.
Causey, J. OH. Sanders, and Rev.
W. H. Dowliog have been arrested
upon a warrant issued by United States
Commissioner Morgan upon the affidavit
of Chairman Riley, of the Reput Hean
party in Hampton County, "for refusing
to discharge their duty as officers under
the State laws.'' The arrests have
been, it is said, in the interest of 8. E.
Smith, the Republican candidate) for
Congress in tne 2d district. It is
alleged that Col. McSweeney refused to
issue a large number of registration
tickets to negroes upon the demand of
Riley, who presented a carpet-bag full
of affidavits by mythical persons claim?
ing the right to be registered, and that
the other persons named in the warrant
of arrest refused,to administer oaths to
negroes desiring to make affidavits that
they had lost their registration certifi?
cates.
The Post Office Deaartment and those
who urge the establishment of a postal
telegraph favor the Essrck printing
telegraph instrument, a machine of
recent ioveution, which combines the
principles of telephone, telegraph,
stock ticker and typewriter. An inter?
esting exhibition of its operation was
given a few days ago at Providence.
Messages are received in ty pa-written
form, without the intervention of ab
; S? j gp
operator, the -instrument working
automatically. They are sent from a
little key-board, and* a type-written
sheet passes up before the operator, so
that he is enabled to deteefc-aod correct
any mistake that may occur. Messages
by this system can be transmitted over
lcug lines of five hundred or one
thousand miles, and, with one trans?
mission, the same news simultaneously
produced at an unlimited number cf
stations. A company has been incor?
porated, and nearly one hoodred miles
of line constructed between New York
and Boston.
