CRATIC CONGRESSIONAL COMMITTEE—HOW THE OF- FICES OF THE HOUSE ARE TO BE DIVIDED—A LAUGH FROM THE REPUBLICAN ¢ OMMITTEE. The democratic Congressional campaign com- mitte has very flattering reports from Onto, some of the leaders in that state claiming that the democrats will not only carry the state, but will elect seven certainly, and possibly ten mem- bers of Congress. Since the nom!nation of Cleveland in New York by the democrats and the admission by the New York republican newspapers that his y 1s a strong one, the committee 1s d that gain tn the Congressional delegation will be made In that state. The satne advices are received from Pennsylvania. MR. THOMPSON'S CONFIDENCE. These several flattering reports inspire Secre- tary Thompson, of the committee, with an abound- ing confidence that the democrats will certainly have a majority in the Forty-etgnth Congress, which will enuble the party to control its organi- zation, Certain it {3 that other leaaing democrats are of the same opinion, and there ts already spec ulation as to who will’ be elected speaker, clerk and sergeant-at-arms, For the speakersiap, of course , ex-Speaker Ran- dail will be a candidate. Should Pennsylvania go democratic this fall 1t would place him in a very commanding position to win, His ehiet competi- tor will be Hon. John S. Carlisle, of Kentucky, whom it ts thought will get the bulk of the south: ern vote. ‘The nomination of ex-Clerk of the House Adams by the democrats of the 98th district of Kentucky pats him out of the race for the clerkship, as he ‘wiil no doubt be elected to Congress. The most prominent candidate spoken of for the place is Representative Martin, of Delaware, who will be supported if the speakerstip goes to a 2 west of the Alleghumes Mr. Martin declined a Congressional renomination. Should Ohio go democratic ex-Sergeant-at-Arms, Thompson will be acandidate for his old place. He 1s managing the pending Ohio canvass, and if he succeeds in winning the state his claims for his old place will no doubt receive just considera- tion. LAUGH AT THR IDEA. ‘To look on the other sive of the picture, the om- cers of the republican Congressional committee laugh at the idea of the democrats securing the next House of Representatives. They are willing to concede a slight loss in Ohio, but feel confident they will more than overbalance it by expected Gains in the south. The Garfield Monument Fair.
