Political Notes.

The New York World which few days ago
asserted that the next House of Representatives
would be democratic, has gone even farther,
and now claims that that party will have at least
twenty-six members of the next Senate, leaving
the republicans but twelve majority, which the
World hopes to overcome in the course Of the
next year or two. These twelve are TO be Sc
cured from the following statistics Florida, in
place of Mr.. Gilbert, Indiana in place of Mr.
Pratt Louisiana, to fill vacancy Maine in place
of Mr.. Hamlin Massachusetts,. in place OF Mr.
Washburn Michigan, in place Of MIR. Chandler /;
Minnesota, in place of Mr.. Ramsey Nevada, in
place of Mr.. Stewart New Jersey, in place of
Mr.. Stockton New York, in place OF MIR. Fen
ton Pennsylvania, in place of Mr.. Scott Yer
mont, in place of Mr.. Edmunds Wisconsin, in
place Of Mr.. Carpenter. And the World is sam
guine OF the result that is, of carrying all these
States but one, which moves the Bos-
ton Journal to ask "Are they going to
carry Maine, Vermont, and Massachu-
sets Have they any prospect OF
carrying Michigan, Minnesota, and Wisconsin
Have they any reason to calculate upon Penn
sylvania We need not mention others of these
States, where the Republican chances are at
least az good as those Of the Demoerats. 1t is
obvious enough, then, without looking further
into the future, that the Democratic talk OF get
ting control of the United States Senate next
wear is one of those absurdties that cannot stand
the slightest examination.
The Hon. Henry L. Pierce, of Boston, will not
be candidate for Governor Of Massachusetts,, but
would rather prefer, as do his constituents, to
return to Washington.
The address of the National Republican Com
mittee to the people of the Union was drafted by
Senator Howe, of Wisconsin.
The Democrats of the Third District in Phila-
delphia have again nominated Hon. Samuel j.
Randall for Congress. This. gentleman did not
only vote fer the salary grab" as it IL called,
but was one of the originators of the bill that
put the extra $4,000 into his pocket.
Wilmington daily commercial., 1874-07-20
GEOGRAPHICAL NOMINATIONS TO OFFICE.

D The Advertiser says " While we are decided
ly in favor of nominating citizen Of New Castle
for Governor, we are unfriendly to the idea of
geographical allotment of office"
There would be more force in this reservation,
and sounder reason for it, If the political organ
ization of this State was not characterized by 80
much injustice. People deprecate the consider
alton of county lines" So do we all. But it's
impossible to lose sight Of them. The strongest
reason eompels the people of New Castle coun-
ty to remember where its boundary ends, for
upon that line their own prescription and DIS
franchisement begin. The line between New
Castle and Kent counties is line of dlscrimina-
ton, south Of which citizenship has one basis,
and north OF it another. Upon the one side each
citizen has his full voice in the State ; upon the
other each citizen has less than half voice. Ac-

ship or shom of half of it.
This being true, the people of New Castle
cannot forget the existence OF county line.
They have had it burned into their recollection.
They have found that it described the begin
ming Of their disfranchisement and the end of
their rights. Many of them have come to the
point Of declaring that they are ready to organ
ize as New Castle county party, for the pro-
curement of their rights They feel that they
are struck at as class, and they propose to or
ganize as a class for defence This is natural,
if not wise, but wise or not, the time will surely
come, if equal representation is not made the
law of the State, when such an organization will
be not only possible but beyond hindrance.
The nomination Of candidates from this coun-
ty is affected by the considerations stated. II
the three counties we're equal if there were no
unjust and indefensible system, by which one
of them suffered injury, while the others escap-

ment of nominations upon geographical basis
would be shorn Of all their present seriousness,
But until there shall be representation according
to population until the citizens of New Castl,
county enjoy their equal rights in the State i
lis in vain for us to argue that the very boundar
les upon which inequality and injustice are es
tablished mean nothing, and must be disregard
