not more than two or three remain, and

cy with which the Supreme Court rever-
ses his decisions. BY pcrsistcntly dcclar-

corruption, and make it practically what
it is in principle certain and sure means

Of true republicans to sustain it. If the

The Massachusetts Conxressmen,

The interesting question now begins to
loom up as TO which party Will make Con-
gressional gains In the fall elections. The
Springfield Republican independently makes
an estimate that In Massachusetts, where
the present Congressional delegation stands
six republicans and 2ve democrats, that the
democrats may possibly reflect two or
three, while Ii Is within the range of events
for the republicans 10 have them all again.
In the first district Mr.. Grape is pretty GER
tain TO be re elected. Tue Springfield paper
states a fact well recognized in Washington
In saying that Mr.. Grape sis making a USE
ful and most promising member"
In the second district Mr.. Harris retires
after two terms, and will be succeeded by
John L. Sanford, of Taunton. Mr.. Pierce,
OF the third district, declines q reelection,
but there will be strong pressure upon him
TO serve again. In the fourth, or other Bos-
TON district, the contest between Rufus s.
Frost and Judge Abbott will probably be
renewed, with the chances in favor OF Judge
Abbott. In the fifth district Gen. Banks
re election is Conceded In advance by all
parties In the sixth district, DIR. Loring,
OF Salem, Will possibly be the republican
candidate against the present democratic
member result doubtful. In the seventh
district there are lot of repu olican candi-
dates, including Gen. Butler, coltesting for
the honor OF winning the district back from
the democratic Tarbox, who with Judge
Hoar's help carried the district against
DIR. Aver, the pill-man two years ago.
In the eighth district either James Rus
sell Lowell or Governor Clsflin will prob.
ably restore the republican supremacy
In the ninth district George F. Hoar de-
clines to be re elected, and the district be-
comes doubtfdl, but with good candidate
Gov. Bullock, for instance-may be set down
as republican. In the tenth district there Is
10 be repetition OF the contest OF two years
ago between the independent reformers and
the party machine, which then resulted in
the election OF Prof. SeeIye. He could be re-
elected withsut much opposition, bat 1t is
understood he will now take the Amherst
college presidency instead. The republi-
cans proper Will perhaps run Charles A.
Stevens, OF Ware, while the Independents
are likely TO press JUICE Spalding, of
northampton, for an independent nomina-
ton, or the republican, or both. In the
eleventh, or Springfield district, Mr.. Chaplin,
independent democrat, who was elected two
years ago by 800 majority, while the guber-
material vote was about equally divided in
the district, will probably run again, and in
the opinion of the Springfield paper 1t will
take very strong and popular republican
TO beat him.
