WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 29.
^ The Next House.
Estimates Indicate a Democratic
Majority of Eiglileen.
WASHINGTON, Oct. l-l-Three weeks
hence the voters el the Hotted Stetes
\rill pass in judgment npou the Harri?
son admioistra?ou aoc ?be record of
the Fifty -first Congreso at its first ses?
sion. The Cromwellian mle of Speaker
Reed, the economic policy of Major
" y and the Lodge force bill are
each of them distinctive features of the
Republican policy and are to be ap?
proved or condemned at the polis by
* the American people.
Of ail the issaes which will tend to
shape the result, the new tariff law is
likely |to proTC the most potent motor in
determin^g s^^iecaase its effects are
so far fe*ebin| and it comes home to
every individual consumer io the land.
While President Harrison was elected
en the protective tariff issaes by
minority ip -?he electoral college, tho
~ Republican leaders never intimated that
they proposed to go to the lengths of the
measure that has jost become a law.
The bili has been passed despite the
pretests of a large and important element
of the population. Already its effects
are being felt. Prices are slowly bot
- steadtiy going np on articles of almost
eniveraal consomption. On the other
hand wages have not acted ia sympathy
with prices. The home industries,
which are expected to receive sachan
impetos by reason of the new teriff,
canoon experience it oe di the largs
stock of loreign goods which has been
laid in becomes exhausted.
The effect of all this mast operate to
the detriment of the Republican?), and
nowhere more than in the agricultural
States of the West, where the feruling
interests are greatly depressed. Sena?
tors Paddock,, of Nebraska, Pettigrew of
Sooth Dakota and Flamb of Kansas
reallied this folly when they voted
against the McKinley bili on its final
passage, and in doing so they represent?
ed the views of their constituents. The
absence of harsh criticism of their
votes in the eolumas of the Republican
papers in those. States proves this in?
contestably.
The force bill has had the effect of
nerving op the Southern 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 Mr. McComas, who
has bean repeatedly elected to represent
the Sixth District of Maryland as a
Repat licao, is 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 as a Republican. No efforts
will be spared by the Democrats io the
Sowta \o carry every district possible
and aa increased Democratic represen -
teston may be expected.
fa this connection it is advisable to
touch oin a movement which is attract?
ing widespread attention and which
is expected to play an important part in
the fauwe polities of the country. I
refer te ?he Farmers' Alliance. The
Biyablicinw are laying the flattering
?natiin to their souls that through this
madge they will be able to break np the
-olid Sooth and perhaps prevent the
Democrats from organising the next
Boase. In this they are likely to be
fediy deceived.
Trae, sn many districts in the South,
alliance men have defeated Democratic
veterans for tho nomination. This
happened in six of the ten Georgia
?astricta. Bot it was merely a primary
?aalsst? and the nominees are running
as D?mocrate and with the understand?
ing that they trill participate in the
Democratic causas. They well know
that to prove recr?ant to this pledge
would doom them to future political
eb?vion. The Southern Alliance Dem?
ocrats will stand by their party.
. Bat io the Western States the Re
eoblicaos are try?}? to utilize the alli
auce and^ with some success. In several
Skates, tn close md doubtful districts,
they have indorsed alliance candidates
or have secured the nomination of alli?
ance candidates who had been lifelong'
Republicana. This is notably the case
ia the Eighteenth Illinois District,
where the President of the Farmers'
?tinsse of that State is the Republican
candidate for Congress.
This coquetting of the Republicans
with the alliance mea may lose a few
districts to the Democrats, bot only
very few, for most of the Western
States are Republican and have been
carefully gerrymandered in the Repub?
lican interest, and where there is a
D?mocratie district 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 snd gnashing of teeth smoog the
followers of the grand old party at
what they are pleased to term the "in?
ternons D?mocratie gerrymander."
The following figures will show the
situation st a glance: First we will
take the Sooth. Ia the present Con?
gress from that section the Democrats
have 104 members and the Republicans
17 ; ta tho ext Congress the Demo?
crats Will i ely have 107 and the
Rep?blicas s ?, being a gain of 3 for
the Democrats in the Sooth. Io 1888
the Democrats lost one of the Baltimore
districts by carelessness. Stockbridge,
Republican, defeating Raynor, Deno
erat, by 80 rotes. Mr. Raynor is
again a candidate aod will sorely be
elected. Tho Fifth district of Mary?
laad, carried by Campton, Democrat,
by 121 votes in 1888 (be was after?
ward unseated,) bas been strengthened
by tho addition of a Democrat ic ward of
Baltimore. While the Democrats are
hotly contesting the Sixth district,
McComas, Republican, stand to win.
In Virginia Professor Langston is
likely thu year to carry the Petersburg
district on his merits, bat there are two
Bepablieao candidates in the Norfolk
district and the division of the vote is
likely to resalt ia the retara of a Demo?
crat.
Ia North Carolina the Democrats
have a good prospect of regaining either
the Fifth or Ninth district. Brower,
Bepablieao, carried the former in 1888
by only 675 votes aod Ewart the latter
by 618. The vote in both districts was
a tull ooo. Cheatbam the ooly original
colored member of the House, carried
the Second district by bot 653, bat his
district is Republican.
The Second district of Louisiana,
part of the etty of New Orleans, was
carried by Oo?eioao, Republican, in
1888, by 174 majority. It was entirely
due to Democratic dissension and the
district this year will go heavily Demo
Io Kentucky the Legislature ht
districted the State and all the si
Republican counties have been rn:
in one district. This assures a ga
ooe member to the Democrats.
The Legislature of Tennessee
also redistricted that State and
Third, or Chattanooga district, ?
returned a Republican in 1888 by
majority, had a thousand more D
eratic voters put into it.
The Republicans elected four o
hers to the present Congress
Missouri. Three of them were
St. Louis districts heretofore represe
by Democrats. It is safe to ass
that at least one of them will be
deemed.
Four Democrats were returned I
West Virginia in 1888 by small ma
ties, two of whom have since been
seated. It is fair to divide the del
tion equally between the parties at
coming election, considering how c
the State ts.
In Arkansas the Republicans
likely to gaie a member. They
none at the opening of the present (
gress, but unseated two Democi
So the result of the estimate show
net lots to the Republicana of three
a net gain to the Democrats of th re
sixteen Southern States.
Io the Eastern States the Democi
now have 23 Congressmen, while
Republicans have 67 It is ex pet
in the approaching election that the
urea will stand about as follows : De
crats 31, Republicans 64, being a g
of 3 members for the Democn
Maine has already voted and elec
four Republicans. In New Hamps!
the Democrats have a fair prospect
electing one member, as they have i
io Rhode Island, but both are coneec
to the Republicans in the estimate.
Massachusetts only the two Bos
districts are put down as Democrat
though the D?mocrate have hopes
others. The delegation is left uncbai
ed. Io Connecticut a gain of* one d
trict can be safely claimed by the Dec
crats. Io several Congresses they ha
had three members. The Republic?
carried the first third aod fourth d
trices in 1888 by 813, 748 and 26 ii
jority respectively..
Io New York the Democrats are cc
ceeded a gain of one district Th
lost the Fifteenth District in 1888
74 votes. In the Buffalo district Jo
M. Farquhar has been left out int
cold, aod against the present Repub
can nominee Mr. Dan Lockwood, t
Democrat, can win. In the Thirl
third the Republicans are as badly <
vided as in 1888, when John Wi!
carried the district by 564. Mai
believe that the Republicans - will ic
the Rochester district, owing to t
unpopularity of their nominee, DJ
Voorhis: Mr Greenleaf, the Dem
eratic candidate, beat him several 'yea
ago.
Io New Jersey tbe Democrats a
sure of the three districts they now hoi
sod are likely to capture the Newa;
district.
Io Peoosylvaoia the bolt again
Delamater, Senator Quay's candida
for Governor, is likely to affect the clo
districts, and in one of them, tl
Twenty-fifth, two Republicans, are i
the field, so that a Democratic gai
of one is not an unreasonable claim.
From this section, including Ne
England and New York, New Je rs?
aud Pennsylvania, a Democratic gai
of three and a Republican loss of thn
is claimed to be the probable result.
Lastly, the Western section of tl
country, embracing the nineteen r
maioiog States. Six of these-Non
aod South Dakota, Moutana, Washing
too, Wyoming and Idaho-did not vol
io 1888, though the first four did i
1889 aod their Representatives partie
pated io the organization of the preset
House.
Io this sectioo a gaio for the De mc
crats of eight members cao be con fi
dently expected, and a corresponds
loss by the Republicans, and wheo th
test of political probabilities is applie
to this claim it "rill be readily seeo tba
it is a conservative one.
Io Ohio a Democratic gaio of sevei
members is a very conservative claim
Io the present Congress there are bu
five Democrats from Ohio to sixteei
Republicans. The "infamous" gerry
mander which produced this result hat
been duplicated by the recent Demo
eratic Legislature, with the shoe oo th<
other foot, aod fifteen districts havt
been constructed with Democratic ma
jorities ranging from six buodred t(
three thousand. Six districts wen
made heavily Republican. In some o
the districts the Democratic majority ii
small, notably in the Sixth, Eighth ans
Thirteenth, where it does oot exceec
1,000, and so these districts are conced?
ed to the Republicans io the estimate.
Moreover, the Republicans themselves
conoede eleven districts to the Demo?
crats, and say that if they can keep the
Democrats down to that figure they will
have woo a great Republican victcry.
Io 1888 the lodiaoa Democrats car?
ried ten of the thirteeo Coogressional
Districts. Six of the ten, however,
were carried by less than 750 plurality,
four of them by less than 500, and two
of them by less than 100 ploralty,
the First District by 20 votes and the
Eighth by 69. It is well known that
the Republican managers sacrificed
everything to secure the electoral vote
of the State for Harrison. It in 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. In 1888 they lost
the Sixth District by only 367, and the
Tenth, or Bay Cify District, by only
115, and in the latter the Republicans
put forward their strongest candidate,
who is not io the field this year.
Io 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 ao is=ue which is the
issue in this campaign. While the
Democrats have nominated the million?
aire John Michell as their candidate,
the present Republican member, Van
Schaick, who has never met defeat,
would not consent to run again. He
dropped out once before when Democra?
tic success was assured. Io Iowa a
gain of one 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,
aod the two held by thom io Wiscon?
sin are largely Democratic and 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 in both the Si st and Fourth
California districts, now represented io
--
Congress by Republicans. The es ti
mate is intended to be conservative, and
gives to the Republicans everything
they can possibly hope to carry.
To sam op, 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 will then stand near?
ly as follows :
Republicans. Democrats.
East 64 31
West 79 37
South 14 107
Total 157 175
Democratic majority at lowest calcu?
lation-18.
Arrests of Democrats in
Hampton.
Tbe outrage mill has begun to grind
in South Carolina. In Hampton coun?
ty Messrs. BL B McSweeney,| W. J.
Causey, J. 0*H. Sanders, and ?lev.
W. H. Dowling have been arrested
upon a warrant issued by United Skates
Commissioner Morgan upon the affidavit
of Chairman Riley, of the Republican
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 Cc!. 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 bad lost their registration certifi?
cates.
The Post Office Deaartment aod those
who urge the establishment of a postal
telegraph favor the Essrck printiog
telegraph instrument, a machine of
recent invention, which com bi o es the
principles of telephone, telegraph,
stock ticker and typewriter. An - inter?
esting exhibition of its operation was
given r. few days ago at Providence.
Messages are received in type-written
form, without the intervention of an
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 detect and correct
any mistake that may occur. Messages j
by this system can be transmitted over
l<>ng lines of five hundred or one
thousand miles, and, with ene trans?
mission, the same news simultaneously
produced at an unlimited number of
stations. A company has been incor?
porated, and nearly one hundred miles
of line constructed between New York
and Boston.
