the vote for Governor in 1869, and that the
gro1nd is fairly d, batable.
o In the Twenty first district, com posed of Fay
cite, Indiana, and Westmoreland counties, there
was Democratic ma ority of 29S on the vote
for Governor in 1869, while in 1868. Covode
(Rep.) claimed 325 majority, and Foster (Dem.)
81 majority. The Democrats have again trusted
to Fosters popularity with the repeaters, but
the Republicans have placed in nomination the
Hon. Andrew Stewart, the veteran protectonist
who has already been eight times elected to
Congress, at various dates from 1896 to 1914
il the gross frauds which have so frequently
ben perpetrated in this district by the Dem )c-
racy can be prevented, there can be no question
Of the result
There is still another doubtful dlstrict-.he
Twelfth composed of Luzerne and Susquehauna
counties-at present represented by ex-Chief
Justice Woodward. In 1866, the Democrats had
a majority of 2006 in 1861 this was cut do vn TO
1889; and last year, the Republicans carried the
district by 76 majority on the vote for Governor.
The dissatisfaction of the miners with Demo-
cratic free-trade principles led them to bolt the
ticket in 1862 and may lead them to do SO neg
Tuesday, and there is some hore that the r =
publican candidate for Congress will gain the
scat.
The so-called Reform Repubical movement
in the Allegheny districts-Twenty I'D
Twenty. .third-looks rather formidable from a
distance, but the Republican msj jorities in 1876
were so large that they do not seem to be en-
dangered by the new movement. There is like
wise but little danger to be apprehended from
the Independent Republican candidate against
Gilillan in the Twentieth district.
Taking it altogether, the next delegit W III
probably stand as the present does-eighteen to
six-with the possibility of Republican loss of
one or at most two members.
The evening telegraph. [volume] (Philadelphia [Pa.]) 1864-1918, 1870-10-08

But if there is anything like full Republican
vote polled, all these districts except the Six
teenth and Twenty-frst are assured for the
Republicans, and the chances of success in the
two doubtful districts are very fair.
In the Sixteenth district, composed of Adams,
Bedford, Franklin, Fulton, and Somerset coun-
ties, Hon. John Cessna has been nominated by
the Republicans, while the Democrats have
placed in the field Benjamin F. Myers, Esq, one
of the proprietors of the Harrisburg PGtriOtand
an avowed free-trader. This circumstance has
made the district almost certain for the Repub-
lieans. 1t will be seen, however, that the small
Republican majority of l44 in 1868 was ex-
changed for a Democratic majority of 1888 on

10th be elf cted next week. The Fifth and
Twenty tth dist rcts also have two members each bu
only one is be elected in each of them week
OF the IS Republicans in the last Senate, II
hold over; while of the Is Democrats, only 8
hold over. There is a prospect that the Repub-
licans may gain one member in the Fourteenth
district, which has for six years been repre-
sented by Democrat, and another in the
Twenty. first district, which has been lately re-
presented by one Republican and one Democrat.
This would give the Republicans 90 and the
Democrats Is members in the new Senate. But,
if the Democrats should carry both these de-
batable districts, the new Senate would stand
II Republicans to 16 Democrats-a bare ma
jority.
The only Philadelphia district in which an
election is to be held this year is the Third, in
which the vote for Governor last year stood as
The evening telegraph. [volume] (Philadelphia [Pa.]) 1864-1918, 1870-10-08

The Republican candidate in this district is
Benjamin w. Thomas; the Democratic candi-
date David A. Nagle, the present incumbent.
The colored vote in the district will reach
about 1850, which will go far towards securing
the district for the Republicans.
The House of Representatives
undergoes an eRtire change every year. 1t is
impossible to predict the result, and to give an
approximation to the probable standing of the
new House. In 1869, the Republicans carried
l3 of the Philadelphia districts and the Demo-
Gratis 5. This year only II districts are certain
for the Republicans, with possibility of carry
ing 10 altogether. Outside the city, there is no
reasonable prospect of a Republican gain of
more than four MEMBERS while there is a
prospect of Democratic gains in ten districts.
The Republicans will doubtless have fair
majority in the next House, but it will not ex-
ceed that in the last.
The Philadelphia Representative Districts.
The following are the candidates in the
eighteen Philadelphia districts, those marked
thus (*) being renominations:-

THE STATE LEGISLATURES.

Importance OF the next Legislature The New
AppOrtionmeDts-TheS StresKth of Parties In
the two Houses.
The Legislature to be chosen in this State on
Tuesday next is of unusual Importance in con-
sequence of the circumstance that it will be
charged with the task of reapportioning the
State into Congressional Districts under the
census of 1870, as well as of reapportioning the
State Senatorial and Representative Districts.
This is done once in seven years, and conse-
quently it is only once in seventy years tn It the
double task of Congressional and Legislative
reapportionment falls to the same Legislature.
Another important duty will be its action upon
the report of the Commissioners to revise the
Civil Code of the State.
In the Legislature elected last year, the party
lines were divided as follows

How the Next Delegation will stand.

Concerning the standing of the delegation to
be elected on Tuesday next, it is, of course, i'm
possible to speak with certainty. At present,
the Republicans have IS members, while the
Democrats have but 6. The latter have calcu-
lated on retaining all their present seats, and
wrestling as many more from the Republicans,
which would make the delegation tie. The
six districts which they anticipate gaining,
with the majorities in 1868 and 1869, are the
follOWing:-
The evening telegraph. [volume] (Philadelphia [Pa.]) 1864-1918, 1870-10-08

The regular Republican vote in this district
will be reinforced by about 1875 co,ored vo .ers.
Theodore Cuyler, Esq, who received the Demo
cratic nomination, has declined It, and the
Democrats are still without candidate of their
own. John V. Greeley, Esq, who was nom;-
mated by portion of the Republican Conven-
tion, persists in remaining in the field, despite
the decision of the State Central and City
Executive Committees. The Democrats will
doubtless cast their votes for him generally,
hoping thus, with the aid of the Republicans
who are dissatisfied with Mr.. O'Neill to defeat
the latter. The result is problematical.
THIRD DISTRICT.
The vote by wards in 1868 and 1859 was as
follows as originally returned

the Forty-second Congress.

In this district the Republican vote will be
reinforced by about 900 coored voters, and
Judge Kelley will be triumphantly reelected
General Thomas will receive the full Demo-
cratic vote doubtless but he will not make
breach in the Republican ranks wide enough to
endapger the result.

doubtless be correspondngly reduced.

TAMMHNY TACTICS.

The Tammany politicians have hit
upon a plan to nominate their ia vorite,
Hoffman, to the Presidency, which is
at once novel and startling. It is in
this wise An article appears in the
New York Leader, the organ of Tam
many, announcing the withdrawal Of
Hoffman as a candidate for the Presi-
dency. Admitting the right of the
West to the nomination, Sir. Hen
bricks, OF Indiana, is named as being
most generally acceptable to all sections.
The Tammany leaders understand the
danger Of pressing Hoffman, and prefer
that his most formidable rival shall re
ceive the kicks and cuffs that are sure
to be visited upon the expected candi-
datessof the party in advance Of the
nomination. The game, then, is that
Hoffman is to be kept in the back
ground, until Hendricks is kicked to
death, at which point in the programme
Hoffman will appear on the surface,
ready for the sacrifice of a nomination.
