The untimely taking oil'tho schemers' patron saint is a veritable hardship which makes the nm- manimilators in the congressional flirht doubly w < xry , ami the small fry legislative candidateswho c-xpeoted to ridoto power and glory on the same wnvo that deliv ered the county to Paul , are standing witli their backs against the wall , con gratulating themselves that thus far they have escaped drowning. The wisdom of the organ of the stand and deliver tschool of politics in this city and county in never going on record for man or measure until every thing was a li.xoil , dead sure thinir has been exemplified in thu Paul rout and any party who may seek to bo the perpetuation candidate in the coniinjr convention contest can secure lots o ! around the corner consolation by visiting the cauital city at the present time. Jn regard to local legislative candidates a prominent clti/.cn at the capital expressed himself as honcful that the day was at hand when all the political powers at Lincoln would not be trimmed into chan nels to secure candidates for the sole and only purpobc and qualification to be infer for a big appropriation. The city of Lincoln ought to be large enough and the state institutions hero well known enough to command all the support necessary for their honest maintenance without making the legislative light one for boodle for the state institution * . If those prineiiiles as .suggested were put into practical effect , as the people here are callable of putting them ; thorp would bo a delegation in the next legislature from Lancaster that could do some good. HON. ijiANnr.it r.KititAiti ) , of Columbus , prominently mentioned by many as a republican candidate for gov ernor , was In the citv yesterday for a few hours. Mr. ( Jerranf is one of the eaily residents of Nebraska , and in convoca tion IIP. can bring up many interesting reminiscences concerning early day polities in the slate and he speaks largely as one of the factors in the early move ments. Mr. ( Jerrard was in the last of the territorial days chairman of the re publican convention that met at I'JnttS- moiith in the days of Andy Johnson , when the great QU"Stlon before the con vention s one of statehood , and which pToposition carried : latterly Mr Gerrard was a delegate to the national conven tion that nominated Grant and ho also occupied a seat in the slale senate in the seventies. Jiut concerning present poli tics ntul himself as a candidate , Mr. ( tcrrard was duly sentious but stated em phatically that lie should not canvass the state but would bo present at the convention. It might be mentioned incidentally that Mr. Gerrard is a North 1'luttpuinu. TUP.

The railroad commissioners were over run with a piece of work that came to their notice from Madison county , where in soin tmrty wanted a railroad crossing where the company Jiad neglected to put one In. If during the long siege of Au gust days the commissioner ! ) nan , by vir tue of llie Dowers invested , compel the railroad company to expend eight or ten dollars in a crossing , it will bo still another accumulated mass of evidence upon which to seek endorsement of the fraud at coming state convention. Captain \Vasnburn , of Norfolk , was at the state house j'cstorday arranging to secure the -00 tents belonging to thostato for the soldiers' reunion at Norfolk , which commences the 17tli of thu month. \Vaslibuni.reciles that the prospects arc very bright and promising for a great reunion of veterans from Northern Nebraska , and further states that the ar rangements will bo complete to accom- modulo all who may bo in attendance. In thu auditor's otlice the blank appli cations have been received from the American Fire Insurance company of Now York , which company desires to comply with the state laws and traasa.-t business in Nebraska. The vouchers for the payment of monthly bills ut the different state insti tutions luwo been acted on and approved by thu board of lands and buildings , and thu operators of thg institutions will again urcatlm freely. The pay roll at the Insane hospital exclusive of the Miporin- tcndont's salary , foots up ? l,010.u5 , per month. TUB DKAIl MAN'S nitOTIIKR. August Kichorn , brother of tho. dead man from suicide or murder , waa in the city yesterday , and thu funeral over the remains have- been hold. The brother throws but llttlo light on the mystery , and did not. know his brother was in this vicinity until ho heard of his death. Three weeks ago the dead man loft St. Louis with a hundred and twenty dollars. Ho had boon to Chicago and Minneapolis before reaching this phioo , and it Is evi dent that ho could not have had but n small hum of money , if any , loft , and cer tainly not enough to excite murder in the muufof any suuo person. The St. Louis brother , now hero , is very reticent re garding thecuso , and gouins to accept the theory of suicide , basing it partly on the ( net that there was a love affair in which his brother was one of the parties. KhorllVMolick is positive that the death was suicidal , and there it will eventually rust with a shallow still of mystery over the surroundings. TKYINO TO CIIOSS THE niVRR , The Northwestern extension from Fre mont to Lincoln is making slow procrcss , apparently , nt the present time , and it is now a settled case that they cannot reach this city in time to spouro nny of the state fair trallio , while thu prospects are that their arrival will bo uiucli later. The corapauv Is btlll the other side of the Platte mor , and the work on the bridge will not bo finished before the fifteenth ol this month. The bridge , it was stated -it the time it was commenced , was to bo completed the 15th of Juno , but August is hero and no bridge upon which the com pany can cross iron is in passable order vol. Tlioro will bo some lifty miles of Iron to lay between the Platlo river and Lincoln , and if the wortc of this character Is delayed until September the horth- w'.ll bo up to its limit in time be- ore regular trains run over the rond. Iran white thp grading work is being vig- rously pro cputed and will bo finished low on short notice , while the depot iiilldlngs and grounds at this end of the Inc are commencing to receive the uttem- ion of the company. HUIKK ITHMO. HrunoT/schuck and wife arc visiting i * the capital city , where Air. Tzschuck or several years was a resident while rcretary of state. Mr. T/sehupk was a hltor at HIP caiiltol building , and as ho lowed the city he noted the many great mprovomcnts that Lincoln has under- jo no in the lust four years. Mr. anil Mrs. C. V. Damrow have just uovcd into their new home on C and Seventeenth streets , ami thitlior last Veiling a delegation of K. of P. bovs .vunt . on a tin can serenade. The niu.si- lans went out in an omnibus ami the iVholo neighborhood in that section of the jity was aroused by thu delegation who ivcnt for fun and had it. The report ame that one of the state olllcials , under : ho misapprehension that the town was being taken by storm , telephoned for the police. Mr. and Mrs. Damrow enter tained their guests in a most hospitable manner and the serenadcrs wcro all liuppy , Complaints have been made tiiat the band of noble red men who have been in uamp just outside the city for two weeks , and who have been following a system * atlcal begging tour from house to house , have become a standing nuisance and might to be abated. There is a good op portunity for police woik here. Two city prisoners who , at an oppor tune time had escaped from custody and who at an inopportune time had been re captured , were given a now hearing in police court yesterday mid wcru conllned and committed. Three cases of the usual sorttoo much drink that went to the head , were heard in police court yesterday and given the usuaj compliments of the season by his honor. John Itnstibonx , of Hoca , who operates a stone quarry there , became drunk yes terday and was locked up to cool off. Ho had $1)9 ) and a gold watch on his person when arrested. An Klcventh slrcot Chinaman who op- crates a laundry and who , through dint of much work and cheap diet has been able to sport a gold watch ami chain , came near losing it yesterday afternoon. It seems that a colored man recently from Omaha , who works at the Windsor hole ! , 1ms been cultivating the heathen's ' ac quaintance , and while visiting him yes terday he made a sneak on the watch and captured it. The Chinese made a vigorous pursuit and was having a vigor ous battle with the colored gentleman when the sheriff came , separated the pugilists , gave tlio watch back to John Chinaman and locked the colored man in the cooler.

Washington Post : "Joe Pulitzer Is struggling hard to got the World paid for. " That is the lunatic sentence that I saw the other day in a Milwaukee paper. The sweet fact , which Pulitzer may or may not desire to have known , is that-of tlio 310,000 down which ho paid .lay Gould for the World , $200,000 was his own money , and ho borrowed the rest ol a bank ; that thol 10,000borrowed money was repaid a good many months ago out of the profits of the establishment ; that the World now returns to him a net rev enue of $ ' , ' 00,000 a year , and that the cas ual or curious inquirer at the United States treasury in this city , if ho can gel behind the register , will to-day hml $100,000 in registered 4 per cent bonds in the name of this same Joseph Pulitzer. J estimate as a conclusion from facts that 1 happen to know. thatPnllilzer's personal Income during this current year will be at least $300,000-an Indication of the possession of property of Iho vamo ol $7,000.000. This must make him the second richest editor in the United States pretty well , considering that twenty years ago ho was a penniless boy in St. Louis , unable to speak the English language and getting a precarious living by alternately serving as stoker on a tug-boat and taking care of a gang ol muloa in olfhoure. Of course , Pulitzer is essentially n bad man. 1 do not undertake to justify the alacrity with which ho llinga away , as 11 burdensome bauble , : * , scat in thu national congress , which was tossed to him with out tlio asking , nor the unbecoming levity which he exhibits in speaking ol tiio president , and in repudiating the obligations of his party.

Holt County People : Our anti-Van Wyck republican friends may pull off their coats and roll up their sleeves , but with all their "soau" they will have to .submit to the wilt ot the people , and bland back , smiling serenely to see Chas. II. Van Wyck his own successor. Turn Outnt tlio Primaries'- . Ashland Ga/ctte ; The Springfield Monitor says that nearly all the republi cans of Sarpy county laver tlio reelection tion of Senator Van Wyck. What is said of Sarpy county , can bo said ot nearly all counties of the state. It is only a question whether the people will turn out and e.\prcs > s their preference at the primaries and at the polls. Wasting Ammunition. Nebraska City Press : The anti-Van A\yck organs are beginning to realize the mistauo they made by opening such a lively , if misdirected , lire early in the campaign. They have made friends for tlio senator everywhere , by their baseless fabrications and evident malice , and shown their fright by the fToiso they have made to allay it. Tlilr.ka Ho Is Ahead. Schuylor Sun : It's a hard matter to find a paper in the state uow-a-days that does not have something to say on the Van Wyck question. The orl man's chances are bound to be an issue in tins fall's campaign , .mil , unless appearances are deceiving , the man who sticks up his head here for representative this fall ami "I'm Van " will bo says , no Wyck man , silo-veil under so deep that heyill never put in an appearance again until the res urrection day. Getting J'attlccl. Asliland Gazette : The anti-Van Wyek crowd are getting rattled. We had one tell us that he preferred a democrat to Van \VyeK for senator. This gentleman is not entirely alone in this way of think ing. They can sco the inevitable "hand writing on the wall" and it is anything to boat Van Wyck. Van Wyck's election will go down pretty hard with some oi them , but we can't sec any help for them but lo swallow it , A Croclltnblc Hecorrt. Walioo Tribune : The Tribune finds much in Senator Van Wyck's record that is entitled to credit. He is an able leg islator , fearless in debate , and able tc cope with the intellectual giants of the nation in the arena of debate in the halh of congress. He is ahvo to the interest. of the laboring classes of the nation and awake to the demands of Nebraska. The Tribune is not opposed to his re-election providing ho is willing to stand with his party. Camlidntcs Must lie Pledged. Ashland Gazette : The oltl legislative ticket in tills county would tlo well enough'providing they will carry out the wishes of the majority. From the best information we can got , the farmers ol this county , or at least a large majority of them , favor the return of Senator Van Wyek , believing that lio.lms boon an able p.ud fearless representative. A man that is not willing to come out square-footed on ono side of this question or the othei would hardly bp a safe man for the republicans - publicans of this county to semi to the legislature to represent them. lIcpendB on tlio People. Custcr Loader : The Genoa Enterprise Bays that " cither Van Wyck will be re turned to the senate or a democrat will take his place. " The election of Var Wyck depends upon tlio people If thej are determined ho shall bo returned If they are indifferent about it and do nol make themselves felt in the primaries and at the county conventions where the nominations for state senators and repro tativcp are made , i\lr. \ Van Wyck will not bo re-elected by the general assembly nu.xi winter. If it depended directly upon the people's vote , no sane man at all ac quamlcd witli the sentiment ot tlio statt could doubt the result. Trying to Defeat the Purty. O'Neill Frontier : If the Omaha Mo publican could succeed in its attempt tc drive Van Wyck and his supporters out of the republican party , the stiecos s ol the democratic party in the state of Nebraska braska would bo assured. Without the aid of Van Wyck republicans thu republican lican party of this suite would bo minui u majority at the polls. It follows thai the Omaha Republican , if successful it its .said attempt , will simply defeat tin party which it usually servos with aca and devotion almost menial. York County's Preference. York Times : The Van Wyok men comprise priso t'our-llfths of the voters of tin county. It would be the height of foil' for them to elect a milk-and-water , now you-seo-it-anil-now-you-dont-seo-it mai to tlio legislature. Accept no candldnU who is not a llrm and unyielding Vai Wyck man , ono who is ready to plcdgi himself openly and anywhere to vote foi Van Wyck , first , last , and all the time We want men who have no second choici nor men who will vote for Van Wvcl while they think ho has a chance. Hi may have a much better chance thai they suppose. The Monopoly Gang. Butler County Press : The Omaha Ho publican , Lincoln Journal * Hasting !

When Senator Van Wyck comes to Nebraska to deliver an ngricujtur l address or a Fourth of July oration , , ho comes at his own ex pense and the government pays him no mileage , and 'again , even if the accusa tion was true , which it is not , it would apply with cqlial force to the rest of tlio Nebraska delegation , and we tlo not hear the Heptiblienn raise any objection lo Mauderson , Laird , Weaver or Dorscy on that account , Prejudice is a terrible thing. , The IJnmltQ OniiK In Iltitlcr. tJlysses Herald : A majority of the farmeis of this county favor Van Wvek's return to the senate , but the republican prohibitionists say no. That the $500 of campaign monny recently shipped to this county for "Old Van's" defeat 1 being freely used , t'loro ' can bo no question. But when Van Wyck's "friends ( T ) " in hope of gelling a "divy" of the -swag , fall in line and pull with his opponents , as the indications now point in this count ) * , the honest old man's chances in this neck'o the woods are not the most Mattering.

Also compelling them to take patents on their earned lands , ami subjecting them to taxation. The monopolies and their hirelings dislike this but the people en dorse his action , and Intend keeping him where he is doing much good. The Friend of the Toiler ? . Kearney Press : Senator Van Wyck is the only man In the United States senate who has proven him self to be the steadfast friend of the toiling masses of this country , and the only senator who has had the courage and manhood to lift his voice in favor of the wronged ami almost beggared toilers ot our republic. Because ho has done this , every railway capper , political tlcad boat and newspaper hireling in Nebraska is opposed to Van , and shoul- ing that ho is a political demagogue , an anti-republican , assistant democrat and treacherous statesman. The bosses of the republican parly of Nebraska are de termined lo defeat him and oleel a man in Ins slend who h owned by the corpor ations of tlio stale. It fTioy accomplish this object overv scheme and device known to tlio dishonest politician will be brought Into play. Not Silenced by Pusses , Dawson CoqntyHerald ) : It is charged by the monopolistic press thnt Senator Van Wyck uses railroad passes.

" Wo' tloli't know whether the story is true oi' nbt. So many storice told by the monopoly crow have turned out to bo mere fabrications that one can scarcely believe a charge of any kind that may bo broughtagainst him. Ho is the most sleepless * eucigctic and courageous enemy of monopolies \yhich tins country has produccd. ilf hoaccepts passes hois not silenced by ( hem , as the larger pro' portion of editors and politicians cer tainly ore. . , , A Pica for Harmony. Schuyler Sun : It there over was a time in the history of the politics of Nebraska , when such republicans as the editor ol the Omaha Republican anil the Lincoln Journal could render service and show patroitism to their party , that time is now al hand. The democrats , not only of Nebraska , but the party in general , arc looking forward to tlio election ol a Unitetl Statcs.Senator from Nebraska in 1887 , and they expect to mnko every effort to secure that seat tor a democrat and increase their tlioir number in the senate. Not only do they hope to do this hero , but in every state where a vacancy occurs. The light between Gero and Nyo. and Van Wyck is entirely on personal grounds and not on the course of Iho senator. If those gentleman wish to show their patroitism to the party , lol them fall into line and return a repub lican lo the senate this winter , anil prevent - vent tlio democrats from obtaining con trol of that body. Let there bo harmony. A Difrorciico or Opinion. West Point Progress : Dr. Scliwenk jiwl L. C. Washburn , eonimandor of the G. A , U. post at Norfolk , were recently inter viewed by the editor of the Niobrnra Dem ocrat in regard to the senatorial Kittmtion. Dr. Schwenk said : "Van WVCK , will be easily dofcaled. Tlio held will combine against bun and score an easy viclory , Hitchcock and Padcockwcro bolh slronq men in full sympathy with the republi can party ; had clean party records and the active zealous support of the best po litical managers in tlio stale , but were defeated in ro-elcction by the same com bination that is to-day opposing Van Wyck. Further , Van Wyck is hated and detcslcd by the republicans everywhere , His record is * simply damnable. ' Colonel Washburn , on the contrary , is an ardent supporter of the general Said ho : "My friend , Dr. Schwonk , Is prejudiced. "None are so blind as those who refuse to see. " I am an earnest , open stalwart supporter of General Vac Wyck. Ho was u gallant , soldier , Is to day ono of tlio few men who dared tc stand by tlio people in opposition to the encroachments of corporate inlluoncc ami power. Northwestern Nebraska it nglow with enthusiasm for the gallanl old soldier. Madison county will elect n Van Wyok delegation to the legislature without fail. " > The Knlli-qnd Conspiracy. Grand Island' ' Inllppendont : The Hast ings Ga/.otto .Ipunial did not answer out question , whether it would support a republican publican nomination favorable to Van Wyck. It dortjjod Iho question by saying , that it will support1 the "straight" republi can nomination1. JJy "straight republican this railroad organ means a "railroad" ' ree publican uoiujutfuon in accordanc with the acknowledged Valentino prin ciple , "rather tl dbmooratio senator than Van Wyck , " U'Jicse so-called "republi can" railroad , < politicians would rathoi unite with the democrats to elect a tlomo oratiu senator , than support the defcndoi oftho people. This i s boicuy proclaimed by the West Point so-called "Republi can"and it is openly declared by the "Herald. " the democratic railroad paper of Omaha. This declaration of the publican railroad organs agree fully In the proposition to betray the republican party , and to sacrifice it to the interests of monopoly. And the o bolting con- spiralors of the railroads arrogantly un- djrtako to lie the people into the belie ! that they are representatives of republi canism. Ijook Out for HtratltUors. Lyons Mirror ; The rag-tail and bob tail of the railroad brigade who are talk ing up pledges against General Vai | \\yck are playing with double-edged swords. Such sustruments of warfare cut both ways. They are as apt to hurl the men who wield them as to harm the parties at whom the blows are directed. Candidates for state oflleors will con sult their own interests by lighting shy of this pledge business. It Avlll not pay. The convention is stilt n long distance off and the voters of Nebraska have been given an abundance of time to discuss methods a * well as men. Republican Isebraska is for General Van Wyck's return to the senate. Some claiming to be republicans and who misrepresented the parly ami party principles for years nrc , of course , opposed to the senator. \ \ hen the line is formed they will be found in the rear of the procession. If they want to hasten the result and make it certain they have taken the right course. Tuo people will look after tlio ' est , To boKoiicht nt the Prltnnrlci ; . Syracuse Journal : A well posted poli tical observer , who was a member of the slate central committee , in an interview with us , gives it as his opinion lual the United States senatorial conlliet would bo tought out In the primaries , rather than the legislature. It was very gener ally conceded at that mooting that .should the state convention bo in favor of the re-election of General Van Wyek , oppo sition to him in the legislature would bo hopeless. II is therefore considered an absolute csjontlalily that the county and state bo carried against him , at all ha- /arils. The plan scorns to bo to pack the primaries nil over the Btato and by so doing pack Iho county and state eon- volitions. This is u nice game , and it may win. It will win most certainly if not promptly checkmated with united uni versal action. Kternal vigilance alone will enable the people of this stale to avoid being sold out by the machine poli ticians , who are determined to run things. There is no doubt whatever , and there is not an anti-Van Wyek man in tlio Btalo who has llie hardihood to deny it , that if thn people nro nol thwarted'in thu mat ter of ehoicq , Van Wyek will go back to congress with a larger vote than when first elected. The policy then Is not only to bo Van Wyck , but to subvert the will of tlio people , and cheat them out of what they cannot bo fairly beaten. It is well therefore that wo understand the situa tion. "Forewarned , forearmed , " is an old maxim , and wo sound tills note of warning that our people need not be caught napping , when the primaries come. And remember that even a delay of but a few minutes may result in find ing a primary over , ami the delegates - gates all selected. Such things have been known in the past , unit may bo in the future. Van Wyck vs , Anti-Van AVyclc. Niobrara Axe : Wo arc approaching the most important senatorial contest ever before known in Nebraska. It is a vital one to tlio laboring classes of the state and United States. One who has dared to face in debate ami differ from the defenders of great corporations is about to ask to bo retufuod. For the past six years tlio senator has in all his actions in the senate had Iho interest of the la borer in view and by every means has he advanced their interest. The name of the senator is Charles H. Van Wyck. Every method to defeat him in both the republican and democratic parlies will be used. Liars will importune the far mer from tlay to day against him ; news papers are daily lllleti with slurs and slang to belittle anil malign him , and so it has been from the days of Christ on the cross , that any man who has dared to stand boldly forth in tlio cause of immunity and defy the popular and existing evils of their day has been hooted and downctl if possible by the use of money inlluunccs. The people too often vote againstthcir own defender and own interests by forgetting the future in the little important issues of the present. The farmers on the day of the primary meeting of his party will consider that a half day's ploughing or haying is more important than to attend the primary to elect , delegates to the county convention , which elect delegates to the state conven tion , and who nominate in this county a representative to Ihc legislaluro , whose business it is to vote for the next United States senator.

He sain that ' 'the ' Union P.icllic Is now In the hands of lice , frank and honest men. " The puny editorial tools of the scuatoiinl ilouiu- KO UO may praise his Fourth of .Inly orations tions and his pumpkin show addresses nil they please , but let them beware of the al leged issue of anti-monopoly. That Issue Is dead killed for a consideration by the man who wormed It Inloartllicinl llfo. Humphrey Independent : Docs the editor < > f the Omaha Republican know that tlio senator's remarks wore made in reviewing the thieving , stock jobbing history ot the U. P. road , that has brought it so near to bankruptcy and ruin , and referred to the present finan cial management , and that the question of transportation and the producingin- interesls of Iho country wore not then under discussion ; Docs the editor of the Republican know that Iho people of northern Nebraska are not adverse - verso to the building of railroads through the state , and that the efforts of Senator Van Wyck to relieve the Union Paeifio of their present cmbaraAinont and secure the trade of J district naturally tributary to Us road , and at the same time protect the government in all its interests , can not bo used successfully as an argument to tarnish the record of the senator ? Under the provisions of the bill of Sena tor Van Wyok the intcrosls of Iho people wore carefully guarded , every dolall showing that the security of the public waa the paramount consideration. Does the editor of the Republi can consider effectual its insignifi cant methods of attacking the senator in view of his six years' record in the senate on the questions of trans portation , land grants , illegal fencing of the public domain , etc. , and his hold stunu for the rights of labor and justice to the producer at all times and on all occasions ? Wo ask , Is tills your cam paign fund ? Will you rest your case on the supposition that the iarmers are so ignorant that they cannot discriminate between the language used by a senator to Increase trallio mid build up and de- volope our statn , and his labors to con trol and regulate that trallio , so that farmers are not prohibited from market ing their produce by excessive rules ?

Inlltienco or tlio Knlghta or Iiabor anil the 1'rolilbltlonlst.s. Charles Nordhoir.M Washington lollerlo Now York Herald : Whether Iho demo crats will lese the next house , whether they can gain n majority in the senate by this winter's elections and , whom the re publicans will nominate for the presi dency are mailers much debated here in congressional cloakrooms ami in hotel parlors. Republicans are hopeful of carrying the presidency in 138S. but it is a curious fact that as they recover hope so they Hiow an aversion to trying Mr. Ulainc again , "I shall speak and work for IMnlne , and as hard as I can , " said a prominent republican senator. "Wo tire old friends , and if he is nominated i shall do all I can to elect him ; but I hope wo shall try some other man. 1 want the party to have a good chance ot success and no needless obstacles , and 1 believe wo should tlo heller with some other man. " That is n very general opinion among prominent republican senators and rep resentatives. They do not express it publicly , but in private conversation they do not conceal that thov are not favora ble to Inking up Mr. Bluino again. And tills opinion is uttered by men who are careful to say at the same time that they are por.-onally friendly to Mr. Ulaino and bollovo in him. Hut they believe that ho would not bo a good candidate for the party to win with. I.OIIAN AND TI1K ril'I.D. If ono Inquires about other candidates , ho hoar.s very lltlle. General Logan is regarded as n strong man ; Mr. Sherman and Mr. Harrison are well thought of , and General Hawley has friends. It was remarked by a republican congressman that all thcs'o except General Logan live in doubful states and como up for re election in tlio senate this fall and win ter. ter."They will make a vigorous campaign in their states this fall , 1 iruess , " said this congressman. "Then there's Mr. Kyarts , " no added , "with his usual luck ho lias no senatorial election to carry ; lioM 'been a very fortunate man , your Mr. Kvarts. " As to the conirrcssioir.il elections , it seems on iho wliolo probable , to the best party judges 6f both Sltlcs ( lint the demo crats will retain control of the house , but by a diminished majority. I'ltOIIIIIITIOK AXD I.ABOU. "What with the prohibition vole in tlio south and the northe.rn stales and the un known purposes of the Knights of Labor , It is not easy to mnko a guess at the re sult Of the fall congressional elections , " said a western democrat member of con gress to your correspondent. "Wo shall lose some seats , and we shall gain some ; I don't now think wo shall have so large a majority as in the present house , but 1 do not believe it will bo much dimin ished. We should have to lese twenty- three seats to give the republicans the hotiso by even one vote. I don't see where tltoy arc to gain so many from us. On the other hand I think we shall gain some from thorn. In the we.st thorp is a certain amount of dissatisfaction in our party , but so far as lean learn it is not with us in congress , but with the admin istration. I don't mean about offices , for that goes for little or nothing ; but on mailers of policy. Hut in my belief this will in the west at least help us. Our people are with us and will stand by us. Resides that , tlio rank and file of the party want to see it have a tair chance , and you'll find , I think , a full democratic ' volo'cast Ihis fall. No , I don't sec any reason for discouragement. " A republican congressman said : "I am not so sanguine of our carrying the next congress as some of our people are. Wo may gain four or five scats in Tennessee , Louisiana and ono or two other southern states ; wo shall , I think , train a seat or two in Ohio.onc in Illinois , but we lose one or two there , too ; and I should think wo might gain a scat in Indiana , though it is not sure ; and possibly three or four in the Atlantic states , but wo filial ! lese a scat in Cali fornia , and on the whole my own belief is that tlio democrats will carry the next house , though by a diminished major ity. " "Do you Think the prohibitionists and tlio Knights of Labor will affect the re sult ? " "Loss than many think In Con necticut and Now Jersey it is possible Iho prohibitionists may hurt us , and thus help the democrats. I hear that in Rome southern stales the prohibition move ment is eroing to bring new men to the front , but they will be democrats , ! judge , in any case. As to the Knights of Labor , I tlilnK j'ou'll find they will not affect the elections except in some rnro case where ono party or tlio other Is so unlucky as to put up a man whom they positively dis like. They may take a hand in Home state In electing members of legislature , and in that way thov may allect sorao senatorial elections , but T don't believe thdy will affect the congressional elec tions. There will bo a good many ncjv men , but after all not more than in the present congress , where of 823 members only 185 were in the previous congress , " COUNT1KG TIIK CUAKCKS. "I've made a pretty close examination of the matter , " said another republican congressman , "and I don't see how wo can carry the next house. Sec , hero is the list of stales ; lot us go over them to gether and I'll ' show you.whore i sno changes probable. Alabama and Arkan sas are solidly democratic and will prob ably remain so. In California wo have live and the democrats ono. They will , I think , gain ouo this tall. Colorado is re publican and will remain so. Connecti cut is evenly divided. I doubt if wo shall gain anything there. Delaware will remain iiumouratlo. In Florida wo may gain one , but I doubt it. Georgia will not chaiiLro. Illinois now stands ten to ten. and 1 doubt if wo shall change that. In Indiana , 1 belittvo , wo shall gain two eoats , The canvas there is going to bo very lively on our side , as Senator Harrison risen has got to bo ro-olcctetl , and ho is going to make the fur lly , you'll see. The delegation now stands ulno democrats to four republicans , and there are some rather bad qiiarrms in the domooratlelo camp , "In Iowa , ho continued , wo may gain ono the delegation now stands seven republicans to four democrats. Hut the Iowa democrats believe they and not we , will gain. I do not think it safe to count anything there. Kansas is solid republi can , ami will remain so , and wo shall not gain anything in Kentucky. Wo may gain one in Louisiana und > ve may lose ono in Maine , whnro the canvass fs going to bo very severe , and the demo crats are putting up for congress one or two Htrong men , Thcro will bo no changes in Maryland or Massachusetts. Rut in Michigan the democrats are badly broken up. The light between the Dick inson wing of their party and the other sideis bitter , The delegation now stands Royon democrats to four repub licans , and I believe wo may bo able to nverso that und make a gain of throo. Minnesota , Missouri , Nevada , Now Hampshire and Now Jersey will not change , 1 think. In Now York 1 am told wo may gain four scats , The dele gation now stands seventeen to seven teen. I doubt if wo gain more than fourt The democrats are pretty badly split up into Cleveland and liill factions , but they must work together on congressmen. North Carolina , Oregon , Rliodo Maud ami South Carolina will scaicpl.y change , Ohio is badly broken up politically on both shies and has been reilistrlctcif bo- sides. I think we shall gain three scats there , and we may gain one in Pennsyl vania and one , perhaps , In Tennssoo. I'ONSIS and Vermont will remain us they are. We may gain one in Virginia , and wo shall probably lo e one in Wisconsin , which is tlio postmaster general's state and has two weak republican districts. "Now then count over what we have marked down. 1 have made a rather favorable count , naturally , for the ropub * lieaii .side ; and you see that according to tills we should gain ouo In ! lorida , tw in Indiana , ono each in Louisiana , Penn sylvania , Virginia and Tennessee , tlirno eaeh in Ohio and Michigan , and four ill New York seventeen in all ; and the democrats will gain ono in Cnlllornid and ono in Wisconsin. That will leave us a clear gain of fifteen , ami leave the house democratic by thirteen majority. " Till' SKNAl'K. The sonatortiol elections lids winter are matters of a good deal of political Inter est. Twenty-two state legislatures will choose senators. In most of these tlio present political complexion will remain unchanged , but in Connecticut , Indiana , Nevada , New Jersey , Now York and Ohio the result will depend upon the fall elections. Nevada , now haying n demo cratic senator , will undoubtedly send n republican. That will balance Virginia , In which a democratic successor to Gen eral Mahono has already been chosen. Connecticut and Virginia may send dem ocrats. In New Jersey the prohibition movement may iilleet I ho legislature , though with the railroad influences favorable to the republicans the demo crat.s have uphill work. In Ohio ami Now York tlio democrats are more or less disorganized , and the republicans are likely to oleel. Senator Don Cameron's view is always interesting- , and the Philadelphia Times quotes him as saying , in reply to Ihoiiucs- lion , "Tho nominations are very impor tant this year ? " : 1 should think limy wcro. Wo olcet a senator next winter , and if we don't thb next senate may bo democratic. L tell you wo are down to close quarters. Wo have lost ono senator in Virginia , and may lese ono ii Indiana I hopp not. Now York will bo a close light. Miller's term expires up there , It our icllows don't look out wo may lose ono thoro' . Connecticut i.s nol a certain state , and wo can't ' tell what may happen In No\y Jersey. There's enough to beat us al ready. If I'm going to lielp , of course E want to have a baud in preparing the waj' . I have seen in the newspapers sonic doubts as to our ability to carry the Icc'isluturo lids fall , but 1 don't bcllo\o that. If wo lo e it , it will bo our own fault. 1 am holiring all 1 can to get good men who can bo elected. On the whole this fall campaign has a goop 11111113 * interesting features. PROF.
