The worst feature of yesterdays elections
in general is that the Forty-foursh Congress,
We fear, will probably show slight Dem
ocratic majority. IF this should prove to be
the case it can be ascribed only to the fact
that at the last session Republican majority
refused to grant proper relief to the depressed
business interests of the country.
washington Republican,
However the November elections may have
gone, however they may have affected the
next Congress, it is not denied by any one
that the Republican party has still the major
ity of the country, and that If it shall be led
as it ought TO led, its victories in the future
will surpass any that it has won in the past.
In the defeats which we fear We have met,
we see the omen of future victory. The Re-
publican party is still the party of the coun-
try, and it cannot be defeated and the Re-
public live.
Washington Chronicle.l
These kilograms justify the conclusion that
the House of Representatives of the Forty
fourth Congress will be Democratic. Pro,
baby majority OF the States will be repre-
sented By Democrats delegations in that
body, rendering it necessary for the Repub-
licaus to elect the next President by the
popular vote, or permit the National Govern
ment to go into the hands of the Democracy
after the fourth of March, 1877.
