OUR CONGREssMRN.

Mr.. Carter was first elected two years ago, and
has nobly earned the general favor with which ne
is regarded by his constituents. Moderate, con-
servative yet faithful, be has served to great &C
ceptance, and will poll very heavy vote. We
trust it is not in the power of Fusion to beat him.
His District in SO gave Gov. Morgan but 1o6
votes to 1907 for Parker Dem. }, and 1895 for
Burrows tAm.); yet Mr.. Carter was elected to
Congress by 1922 to 1889 for John A. Soaring.
II will take 10, 900 to beat him this time.
In the lid District, (old BrooklyD), the Hon.
candidate. He has served one term with eminent
ability AID fidelity, and will poll more than his
party's vote He was elected in IS by 6, 475 votes
to 1851 for LitchGeld (Hard) and 57o for Taylor
(Sott). His vote this year will not fall below
0 900, and may reach 10000. Mr.. Odell, his con-
spicuous antagonist; is Soft, but trying to secure
the Hard vote by an unmeasured devotion to Slav-
ery. We guess be will fail in the attempt.
In the lilo District (Ist, lid, lid, With and
With or lower Wards Of the City, AMOR j.
WILLIAMSON is the Wide Awake candidate,
opposed by John c. Mather (ranmany) and Ben.
Wood, who belongs to the Wood faction. Two
years ago. the votes, as returned, of the District
.tood-Wi liamsOn 3,0l5; Sckles 3,r7; Wal
| bridse 2,s74. We believe MI. Williamson's vote
next Tuesday will exceed 1900: thus, First
Ward. 200; Second, $50; Third, $50; Fifth,
| 200; Eighth, LEO: Total, 4,3CO. We do not
| think either Mr.. Mather or Ar. Wood can beat
that by fair voting Mr.. Williamson has been at
work from youth to ripe manhood in the district,
| has made competence there, and is widely es-
| teemed as an honorable aud liberal employer. He
has earned the support of the working men of the
district, and we trust will receive it.
In the WITH District, JOHN COMMERFORD has
Thomas j. Barr, Michael Tuomey and Jams f.
Kerriean for com petitors. Two years ego, Mr.
Barr carried the District over three compettors-
two Democratic and ore Republican-but we do
not believe he can do it again. His present Dem
ocratic competitors ought to be weaker than those
he then distanced, while Mr. COmmerford is de-
cidedly and deservedly popular, as veteran Land
Reformer who has given the best years Of his life
10 the conan .ndatiOn and support Of measure
from which DO personal advantage can accrue to
himself, save in common with all the industrious
poor. MIR. COmmeriOrd gave time and means to
the cause of Land Reform when the only return
was Misrepresentation and odiam; now, it is easy
to be Land RefOimer; but we ought to remem-
Der those who have borne the heat and burden Of
the day. Mr.. Csmme ford last year ran for Assem-
bly,, and ran far ahead of any other anti. Tammany
candidate in the District SO be Will for Congress
low. lie ought to have at least 1000 votes, as
follows: Fourth Ward 700; Shth, goo; Tenth,
1,40Q; Fourteenth, I,000-and that would elect
him. Let DO effort berelaxed to secure his election
In the With District, comprising the With and
XIIIth Wards Of our City, with so much of Brook
Ign as was formerly Wiliamsburgh, WILLIAM
WALL is morally certain of his election. He has
Elk or seven antagonists, aud oil attem pts to fuse
them seem only to make matters worse. We are
not sure that Mr.. Wall could lot beat any one Of
them if that one had the field to himself-we are
sure he can beat any two of them. We estimate
his vote at not less Than 6,00O-3,5 500 in Williams
burgh, and $500 in this City. That will do.
In the With District, FREDERICK A. CONKLING
is sure of his election, being helped by John Coch-
raDe, who persi3ts in running against Joseph w.
ChaDler, the Tammapy candidate. Mr.. ConkliDg
will pCll about 1900 votes, as fellows: Eleventh
Ward, 1900; Fifteenth, 1000; Seventeenth,
$500. AS the District is pretty close on Presi.
dent and Cochrane viii draw off at least 1900
votes from the regular Democratic candidate it is
clear that the latter has but shadow Of chance.
Mr. ConRliog has served the Cityso ably and faith
fully at Albany aid is so competent to serve her
at Washington, that his election to Congress will
be theme of general and hearty coDgratulation.
The vote Of the District in IS stood; McCurdy,
$500; Cocblane, 1886.
In the With District, AUGUSTUS T. Dow is the
man. He was nominated two years ago, but
withdrew in favor of the Hon. George Briggs,
who personally assured the leading Repub-
licans of the District that he was " all
"ngbt." Had he redeemed those assurances, Mr..
Briggs would have been reelected by large ma
joriiy. But he chose to give heed to the Brook.es,
who served him as the poor fellow who event
" down to Jericho" great while ago was served;
the Fusionists having used him to the utmost and
then TUNED him sdrift. They have fused all they
can fuse on Elijah Ward, whom Mr.. Briggs beat
two years ago by LIS majority. If Mr.. Bfiggs's
frieIds will now deal as magDanimously by Mr.
Dow as Mr. BOWS friends did by them, Dow's
majority over Ward will exceed Brggs's. We
estimate Dow's vote as follows: Ninth Ward,
$3.50; Sixteenth, 5000; Twentieth, $500: TotaI
900. We do not believe there will be so m,ny
against him altogether. Mr.. Dow is young
merchant, of emibeD. public spirit and worth, and
will be warmly supported by those who believe that
merchants should sell goods, not principles.
