ENCOURAGING PROSPECTS OF REPUBLICAN SUCCESS |
WASHINGTON. Sept. IA.

ENCOURAGING PROSPECTS OF REPUBLICAN SUCCESS.
WASHINGTON, Sept. IA.
Senator Wilson, of Massachusetts, chairman
of the National Union Republican Committee,
arrived here last evening, and was busily engag-
ed during the day in examining correspondence
received by the secretary OF the committee
from different parts of the country. The Sena-
tor is of opinion, after careful survey of the
field, that the Republicans at the coming cleo
tions will be successful i'll most of the States.
He admits that the party may lose number Of Of
Representatives in certain districts, but it will
gain Others and altogether the falling OH Will
not be as great was expected some time ago.
He represents that in Massachusetts the noml-
nation of Wendell Phillips for Governor by the
Labor-P Prohibition party will not effect the regu-
lar Republican nomination On the contrary, if
it Injuries any party it will be the Democratic.
The Senator says the Republicans did not ex-
pect to secure the vote of the Labor Reform
party, that party being mostly made up OF DEM
| ocrats and dissatisfied Republicans. Had Mr..
| Phillips not been nominated, the Senator thinks
/ they would have voted the Democratic ticket
but as they are already dissatisfied with the
Democratic party they are anxious to create q
| organization and have selected Mr.. Phillips il
| the hope of drawing off Republican voters who
| formerly sympathized and worked with Mr.. Phil
| lips in Ills crusade against slavery The prohlbi
tonists are generally Republicans, and will mo-
vote for Mr.. Phillips because he is supported il
the main by Democrats with whom they canno
| affiliate.
Altogether, Mr.. Senator Wilson says the Phil
lips movement will have no effect upon the reg
ular Republican nominations in Massachusetts,
The satisfactory condition of the finances, aut
the able manner in which the Treasury has beel
conducted by Secretary Boutwell,, will, in tn
opinion of Senator Wilson, have salutary efec
for the Republicans in the coming elections. III
says that in the Democratic campaign, so far a
developed, their orators have laid siege to tn
Treasury Department and to the financial polio
Of the Administration. In the absence of fact
they have attempted to mislead the people b
producing false figures, but the prompt actio
Of Acting Secretary Richardson. in exposing th
statements of men like d. W. Voorhees, of Ind
ana, has counteracted these efforts.
The dssensionsin Missouri, the Senator think
VII be settled so as to secure Republican IL
umph. In the South political affairs are lookin
b ighter, and as general thing the Republican
q it would seem, has more to fear from the pc
d sonal dissensions, jealousies, and strifes with
n its own ranks than from any strength of Il
Democracy. These once healed or settled, al
the party will be triumphant everywhere.

Hon. James L. Orr, of South Carolina, once
Democrat, afterward secessionist, and always
awarm Southern man, has seen best, since the
war; to support the Republican Party. He has
his reasons for this, and they are good Ones
But he is being violently abused by slich news
papers as are still rebelious at heart, and finds
it necessary to answer one OF their calumnies, by
the following letter:
To the Editor of The Republican.
SIR: The press of this State, in commenting

cd that my position was taken by reason Of an N

or indirectly, with reference to the senatora
election and, -,
Second, That have not been, am not ~ nov

The Cincinnati Gazette is making war against
what it terms the sleeping car swindle. cor
respondent of that paper says: -,
sin the beginning of this accommodation (the
sleeping cais) the price was 10 cents, or S1.5o
for lower double birth +, but during the war 1t
was increased perhaps one-third, and the people
did not complain. Now, while every description
of expense has diminished, this has been adj
yanced until it is shemful extortion."
The Gazette says there is one railroad company
in the West that has given notice to the sleeping
car managers to haul off their cars unless they
comply with their contract. This contract limits
the charge for sleeping berths to so cents, being
81 per night for a double lower berth. The
charge from Cincinnati to New Yorki1for :
double lower berth is 81, and for section 50
privilege as the railroad company receives for
transportation. The public are advised to :" let
the sleeping cars alone " until the charges are
modified,

The Republicans of the Fifth New Jersey dis
trict, have nominated Hon. George A. Halsey, OF
Newark, for Congress, not at his instance, by any
meaus, but because they know him to bc one OF

tho district in Congress from 1867 to 1869, and
was defeated, with his party, at the election in
1868. We cordially endorse the following, from

extraordinary change of front on the European
War. At the outset Of hostities its Jealous
advocacy of France commanded attention, and
the plucky manner in which it fought against

was beaten, called for respect, at least. But
since the Republic was declared it has nothing
