EIR SIGHT to know LL WHO V. the beet One sul | THE NEXT HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES, THE CONTEST FOR ITS CONTROL, The State Campaigns Promise To Be Warm. The coming political campaigns in the sev- eral states will be watched with particular in- terest, inasmuch as the republicans have, at least, a fighting chance to gain the next House of Representatives, and the democrats two chances of losing it. First, by being beaten by the republicans; second, the national ele- ment may increase its representation in the Forty-sixth Congress to hold the balances of power, and thus take away the ability of either of the great parties to control it, Al- ready the republican managers have co:r- menced to work witha vim which betokens that the leaders do not show the apprehension felt by many, that the republican party has gone tothe “demnition bow-wows,” but that Pheenix-like, it will rise from its ashes with a vitality which will at least diseoncert, if it does not entirely demolish, its political party opponent. . n view of the differences of opinion, arising out of the tariff and financial questions, both paities have good vantage ground in several of the states, and there area number of dis- tricts Which neither can claim, and for which each will Wage a warm canvass. The republi- cans hope to gain all the New England states. There are now four of these represented by democrats, viz: Dean and Morse respectively, of the 3d and 4th Massachusetts district: Frank Jones,of the Ist N. H.,and Geo. M E prs, of the Ist Connecticut. Dean, it wi be remembered, was seated by a very close vote, he having contested the sitting republi- can members (Fields) seat, and was skinned a by @ vote of only one majority. The repub m that they ean easily gain the di trict: in fact, they assert that they never lost it fairly, but t Dean was given his place solely because a partizan majority unseated the lawfully elected member. The 4th Massachusetts district, represented by Leopold Morse, will be the scene of a hot fle. Morse was elected in 1376 by a mi- jority approximating 1,000. Sinee then, how- ever. there has quite a greenback element sprung up in this district, aud that party will piace a candidate in the field. It_is estimated that such a candidacy will draw three tines as uy votes away from the regular democratic nominee as from the republican, and the republicans feel aul arry the district. The Ist New Hampshire district, represented by Frank Jones, has usually been carried by Jones by mail majority. He is wealth. however, and spends his money like water i behalf of his own election. Jones. however, i ug of politics, and has no inclination to no make the race, Should he, in the inte: est of his party, again make the canvass, I will probably be re-elected: but if any othe candidate of less colossal fortune is placed in nomination, the republicans feel eontident that they will add this district to their columa of gains. Lancers got his district, (the Ist Conne; cut,) at the last election by only 148 major: This is is Joe Haw'ey’s old stumping groun and if the reput ns place him in nomi tion, he will give Landers a close race. In th last Congress Landers was inclined to eater somewhat to the greenback members of House, and if the “new movement” has y strength in the old nutmeg state it may help i Then again Senator Barnum, who has of money, hates Hawley, and’ may put gh of itup to Keep Hawley home just for spite. On a square feht without buying votes by the wholesale the republicans think that Landers can be snowed under. In Ohio, on the other hand, the democrats expect to make large gains. The exisla- ‘e gerrymandered the state with an eye sin- eto the next House of resentatives, and present Congress the republleans have 12 districts out of 0 the demoeracts expect to elect 13 out of the d possibly Li. Atal events, they count sure on a gain of five members from Ohio, This will more than oif- set the republican gains in New Englaud Then, too, the demoerats expect that Mi somice'ezation in the Forty-sixth Congress will a solid democratic one, Owing to loca dissensions in St. Louis last year the repud. licans elected three members Trom that city and one from the Opelika district. The dei ocratic claim that they can recover the solid delegation if no side issues enter into the can- vass is quite 2 plitusible one. . To offset these, however, the republicay expeet to gain in New York and Penusylvani: They have hopes they can beat Ben Willis the Iith district, who was elected by only 427 majority. Willis has made himself ‘quite un- ecause of a report he made and a bill ot throug! ress to pay a num ber of old nav ected for wader Secretary Robesou ministration of the Navy department. The republicans will pit against Willis, Win. B. Astor, jr.quite popular, and who will have money enough to intlam the heart of the average impecunious voter who remains on the fence long enough totrade inalienable right of suttrage off to the iighest bidder. In the Isth New York district, lately represented by Terrence J. Quinn (now dead), the greenbackers will have a candidate, by reason of which the repulicans expect to ip in their nominee. George Jones,who was re all last winter interested in the silver bill, and greenback legislation, wil Probably be the greenba candidate, and as he is quite popular for his sociai qual it is thought he will draw away fiom the democratic candidate enough votes to swamp the little majority by which Quinn was sent to the Forty-fifth Congress. Another district in which the republicans will make a warm fight is the 30th New York, now repre- sented by E. Kirke Hart, a young man, who paid more attention to his faultless toilet, in the Forty-fifth Congress, than to the small matters pertaining to legislation. The lst New York district, upon which Secretary Gor- ham, of the Congressional committe, has his eye. and which is put down on the listas a certain gain, is now represetiied by Chas, B. Benedict. He was elected by a plurality yote of 404, owing to the faci that there was a d sion it: the republican ranks, aud the nomina tion of George G. Hoskins, the regular 4d. lican nominee, Was bolted. The republican nm of the gain of this district is one which is almost ¢ ded by the democrats. The republican ressional campaizn eom- mittee save hop so ol defeating Lock wood in the 32d_N. Y. distriet ana Augustus W. Cut. ler in the 3th New Jersey distri Lock wood was e‘ected to the Forty-tifth Congress by 404 majority, but his people are a xood deal dis satisfied with him. Cutler, however, had a majority of 1,152, and the only hope of defeat ing nim grows out of the fact that if he is again nominated many democrats threaten io bolt and place an independent in the field. In this contingency there is a chance for ihe republicans to capture the district, but other wise, there is not the ghost of it. The two districts in Pennsylvania claimed as good vantage grou@@ by the republi are the 13th, how represented by James B. Reilly, and the Chambersburg district, repre- sented by Wm. 8. Stenger, a member of the Potter Larey pe ig committee. Reilly was elected to the Forty-fifth Congress by a major- ity of eighty-one votes. A large number of the voters are coal-hands, employes of the Schuylkill district, and are dissatisfied with the present depressed condition of labor, and have a strong inclination to support a green- back candidate. The theory of the repubdli- cans is that unless there is a combination be- tween the democrats and nationals, either a republican or national will be elected. Tuey cay there is no possibility of the democrats carrying this district unless their candidate is endorsed by the nationals. The Chambe burg district before Stenger’s election (he is on his second term) was usually safe for the republicans. It is the district once represent. ed by Hon. Edward McPherson, now chief of the bureau of engraving and printing. It gave Hayes a majority of 600, allhough Stenzer, owing to his personal popularity, securea a majority of 16) votes. Stenger is not aux for further service in Congress, and with other democratic candidate the repubii expect to elect their man. t is quite probable that Gen. Alpheus 8. Williams, chairman of the House Committee on the District uf Columbia, will be defeated. His is the Detroit (Michigan) district. He was elected to the 4th Congress, receiving 14,471 votes, against 12,417 for Dufield, republican, and for the greenback candidate. Re cently, however, under the leadership of Moses W. Field, who served one term in Congress. and whom Sam Cox dubbed “the gentleman with the elegant toilet,” the greenback party has shown wonderful vitality, and a national will be placed in nomination. If such be the case, there is hardly a doubt but that a repub. lican will slip in and get away with the Con- gressional bone. In Indiana the repnblicans expect to regain the Ist district, now represented by Benoni S. Fuller; in Ilinois the 2d (Chicago) distries, represented by Carter Harrison, of Maring band fame; and they will make a stout fight in the 18th ‘district, now represented by Wm. Hartzell, who was elected in 1876 by only 20 maiority. The democrats concede that Uol- orado will elect_a republican representation. In California the 4a California district is claimed by the republicans. In addition to these calewlations the republicans expect to hold the two members they nessee, gain one in Mississipp ; dana,and one in Alabama, besides holding in South Carolina embers in North Carolina and Virg \ The matter is under advisement by the Con- gressional committee of making a fight in the 6th Maryland district. 1 ed two terms by V the support of ti Company.
