who had in view a Paul delegation for

as oysters , ai'il watching to BCO whore
lightning will strike next. 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.

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

the territorial days chairman of the re
publican convention that met at I'JnttS-

when the great QU"Stlon before the con

was a delegate to the national conven

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

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

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

Is delayed until September the horth-

Complaints have been made tiiat the
band of noble red men who have been in

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

Two city prisoners who , at an oppor

John Itnstibonx , of Hoca , who operates
a stone quarry there , became drunk yes

when arrested.
An Klcventh slrcot Chinaman who op-

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

and captured it. The Chinese made a
vigorous pursuit and was having a vigor

A llioh Journalist.
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. But l instance
him as n good example , a first-rate ex
ample , ono of the host examples , of what

with all their "soau" they will have to

bland back , smiling serenely to see Chas.
II. Van Wyck his own successor.

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.

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

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.

tJlysses Herald : A majority of the

But when Van Wyck's "friends ( T ) " in

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

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.

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

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.
The importance of ( leaving the farm
one-half day to attend thp primaries
cannot bo overestimated for it is the key
note or the main lover as it wcro to the
election.
Van AVyck'H Omaha Speech.
Omaha Republican : Does the slow editor
of tlio sleepy llttlo Humphrey Independent
know tliat Van Wyck said in a public sueech
In Omaha on Thursday , Jfay Oth , IbfcO ? 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 ?

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.
