In Rhode Island, Governor Thurston wanted but go
votes of majority at the last April election; whilst two
years since, the first trial, his wing competitor Cup
dke had plurality, though at the second trial (when
plurality elects Thurston chosen by IS votes We
therefore suppose he will be re- elected.
In Massachusetts, Mr.. Palrey free soer) had 500
plurality at the last trial, whilst in November it only
40 He still wants 5000 votes of majority which
the law requires and is possible the district may not
be represented but if any is chosen it will probably
be Mr. Palfrey. The next trial is the 18th instant
In Ohio there vacancy occasoned by the death of
Hon. R. Dickinson democrats the district gave Gen.
Cass 2,55l plurality and 1857 majority democrat, of
course, will be elected in October.
In Maryland. there are two wing districts, two demo-
cratic and two doubtful-somemes eecng republicans,
las in ls45 in the Allegheny district by 6s4 majority, and
in the Cecil district by 1897 and again sending federal
lists. (as in lSi7, by small majorities In estimate
think it fair 10 suppose that these may be divided,
and the delegation stand and g.
In North Carolina Col Reid, the democratic nominee
for governor last August, carried four disrctshe 5th
6h 7,h and sth Gen. Cass lost the latter, but carried
the three others In ls47, Mr. Donnell (whg) elect
by 36s majority Mr.. Lane in the sth and re-
ceived than this number of democratic votes, owing
large number of his relatives belonging party
and several OF them prominent in it. Mr. D. has
declined being candidate, and Mr.. Lane is again the
publican standard bearer with, hear, good pros
poets of In the other three Districts the demo-
cratic candidates, OF course, will be elected making the
number OF our estimate and which the "Trbune" in a
late article comedies.
In Alabama, the republican party is fast recovering
from the embarrassment into which it was thrown by
General Tayor's "spontaneous-combusion" popularity
and his repeated no-party declarations. The State was
represented inahe last House by FIVE democrats and two
wings. There four districts certainly democratic,
one wing, (Mr Hilliarrs,) and two doubtful The Mo-
bile district in 1Si3 elected Judge Dellet, whg, by 1875
voes in 1915, Judge Dargan dem, by 500 and in
is47, Gov Gayle (by far the strongest wing it, and
United States district judge by $50 majorty-,hus
every two years changing the political character of its
representatives. and we have high hopes from the news
we hear that it is time to triumph The Tusca-
oosa district is also close. In ls43 Hon. W. w. Payne,
dem, was elected by 295 votes; in 1884, Mr. Folks ma
Jory 6i3; in 1si5, Mr.. Payne was returned in
ls47, Hon. S. W. Inge, dem, elected the most
popular wing in the district Mr. Murphy by 1853 votes
and in 1s4s, Gen. Taylors majority only 25l. Mr..
cannot be beaten With this retrospect, ii is certainly
just 10 presume that estimate will be borne out at the
polls in August.
In Tras, two democratic members of course will be
chosen.
Louisiana swept by the Taylor tornado, like Ala
bama, with the addition OF the elements OF personal pop
blay and State pride; hut things returning to their
original condition. and the November canvass will show
the State be, usual democratic In lsi3, the entire
congressional delegation republicans in lsi5,
wing elected and three democrats in ls47 the same,
by The following vote Ist district, democratic majority
1905 3d. $50; 4th, 53i; wing majority in the ID dis
,rc 7ol We hazard little in stating that there will be
but one federalist chosen to Congress next November
In Mississippi, no sane doubts but that thousands
OF democrats gave their votes Gen Taylor, and that
these will support Gen. Qultman for governor
In November, and the democratic candidates generally,
giving him and them an aggregate OF 10000 majority.
Mr. Polk received decided majores in each of the four
congressional DISTRICTS though in 1si7 one wing was
chosen in the 81 by SAC votes lin the counties in
1915 he (Mr Tompkins) beaten 2,O74 votes) We
have counted upon all four Of the members being demo-
Gratis and with the heroic Quman standard bearer
we do not reckon on too much.
In Tennessee there are five democratic five federal,
and one (1emphis) doubtful districts In it, in 1913
Mr. Ashe (whig) received ls3 majority; in isi5. MIR.
Stanton (democraO 2l0--A. v. Brown, for governor,
$50; in 1877 Mr.. Stanton was returned by 81 votes
and in lsiS General Taylor's majority was 55l In
our table have assumed that the SCARED veteran
Gen Trous1ae, (our excellent nominee for governor
was at least 35 votes stronger in the district than Gen
Cass, and that Mr. Stanton no weaker than in
1857.
The Kentucky delegation in the last House stood
four democrats and six wings two democrats were
elected in stong federal districts but three wings
were chosen by small major,ies-Mr. Buckner by ESQ
MIR. Duncan by 276, and Major Gaines by 1874, Gn the
latter Powers majority Crenden last August wa;
63) In each of these, and in the 5th district,
chances of success equal; and we do not concede
by any means, that the good people of the I'd and 81
districts will set aside DR.. Peyton and MIR Clark
who served them in the last House with so much
