BOTH SIDES CLAIMING A VICTORY IN ADVANCE. There are two ways of looking at everything. THE DEMOCRATIC VIEW. A member of the democratic campaign com- mittee said last evening to a reporter of THE ‘AR:—“'The reports from the various states and congressional districts in which elections are to be held on Tuesday next, received at the headquarters of the democratic congressional committee, leave no doubt of a complete demo- cratic vietory in most of the states and districts. ‘The democratic majority in the next House will not be less than forty. Leading republicans already concede a majority of thirty. Intelli- gence from Pennsylvania is highly favorable, and indicates that the republicans will be de- feated by the democrats and nbackers on the state and legislative ticket, giving the demo- crats the election of a successor to Senator Cameron. The latest tbe ai at republican headquarters concede that the democrats will elect. one member of Congress in New Hamp- shire, and that the democrats and greenbackers Will elect a majority of members of the legisla- ture, which will give them the choice of a Sena- tor to succeed Wadleigh.” THE REPUBLICAN VIEW. At the headquarters Of the republican com- mittee the reporter this morning learned that the republicans will carry New Hampshire, get the governor and the choice of the next Senator; that there was no chance whatever for the dem- ocrats in Pennsylvania; that they and the green- backers will be defeated by the stalwart repub- lican party by thirty or forty thousand majority. It was reluctantly conceded that the next House will be democratic, but by “a very small major- ity.” In South Carolina, despite the bull-dozing and intimidation, it was thought that one if not two republican members would be returned to Congress. Asa general thing, a “solid south’ was conceded. Elsewhere, however, no conces- sions are made, From the reports received every confidence is expressed as to the results of next Tuesday's elections. The statement that leading republicans concede a democratic majority of thirty in the next House was pro- nounced a “campaign vision.” It would thus appear that reliable probabil- ities can always be had on application at the headquarters ot ef li he STAR reader pays his money and 1a ‘The Ohio Representatives.

POLITICS AND MORALITY, ‘The prosecution of Mormons in Utah terri- tory, now in progress by United States authori- ties, is under section 5,352 of the revised statues. This statute is in effect that every person hav- ing a husband or wife living, who marries an- other in a territory or other place over which the United States have exclusive jurisdiction, is putty of bigamy, and shall be punished by a Ine Of not more than $500, and by imprison- ment for a term of not more than nine years; the provisions of the statute not applying to Marriages made previous to its enactinent. ‘The law was passed July ist, 1862. Since then the Mormons in Utah have gone on marrying and giving in marriage as they did previous to its enactment. No prosecution of them has been instituted until now. One reason may have been that it is extremely difficult to pro- cure evidence against. Brigham Young's fol- lowers in their own territory. Another was the resence of the case of Lee and the other fountain Meadow murderers. For years before Lee’s trial and conviction this great murder case took up most of the attention and a great portion of the time of the U. S. officials in that territory. They had to work very hard to procure testimouy against him. After his conviction and execution the officials had time to pay at- tention to something else, and it is understood by direction of the Attorney General began work on the bigamy cases. They have had up- ill work of it. The Mormons with but few ex- ception stick together and take up for one another. Under these circumstances it is al- most impossible to secure evidence of bigamous marriages, A gentleman from Salt Lake, for- merly a U. S. official, said to-day toa reporter of THE Stai fhe activity shown by the dis- trict attorney in prosecuting tiese cases at this particular time is very likely due to politics as well asto a desire to the laws.
