= lican who reached Washington this
morning says there is a good deal of
decentralization in the party ranks
there. The prohibition platform Is
driving off thousands Of Republicans
from the support of the ticket in the
cities and towns where the license
policy is favored. 1t is not thought
that the State ticket will be lost, al
though large reduction Of the usual
Republican majority Is conceded. The
Opposition are very confident Of secur-
ing three if not four of the Congress !
men. Gen. Banks is sure of his cleo
tion. The attempt of his Republican
opponent to carry the workmen in the
Charlestown Navy Yard against him
has failed. In the Lowell district the
unpopularity of Ayr promises to elect
fFarbox, his opponent; whilst Chaplin,
President Of the Boston and ALBANY
Railroad, will carry the Springfield
District. 1t is said that Republican
disafection in one of the Boston Dis
trict gives the opposition favorable
show there.
