8 sorrs AND PREDICTIONS.
A Washington telegram states that tbe
Iowa delegation is almost solid IN favor Oh
It. With the exception Of Banks, the BIAS
sachuseits delegation favor it. All the
Maine ~delcca';oa, except Burleigh, oppose
n. The Vermont delegation are sold
~arainst il. The Pennsylvania delegation is
abou, evenly divicci. Tic Illinois dele
cation will all vote for the bill, with but
three probable exceptions, although nearly
all tho members say they do ii under pro-
test.
An informal caucus of tie Ohio republi-
can DELEGATION il said 10 have been held
Monday morning, and it was found that
six would oppose the measure and two
would vote for il. Those who oppose it
are sherman. Garfield, Monroe, Lawrence,
Dlnford and Van VOORHEES,. The two WHO
will vote fo, the bill are Foster AMI Wood
worth. The position Of the Ohio delcca-
ton is cccasioning considerable talk, and
has strengthened other western members in
the opposition.
A Concord. N. H., correspondent writes
"The electoral bill reported by the joint
congressional committee is the whole sb-
sorbinr theme of discussion among all
| classes of our people. Tit extremists AMI
ofice-holdcrs look upon the measure with
d%isirust; the politicians arc nor-committal'
but the great mass of the people, judging
| from personal observation, particularly the
| business interests, demand its passage, and
welcome it as the most practical plan that
| could be offered for the solution of the
| dilemma"
We congratulate the people that light is
breaking in pom the dark places in the po-
litical armament, and tina: right, truth and
| ~il.,icc will prevail. We rejoice that hon.
orablc men in the republican party are to
be found, and that they will not sanction
wrong-doing for party. Roscoe Conklipe
and Senator Eimunds Of Vermont will have
made for themselves n rane and a fame
which will be enduring, and the people
will hold them in grateful remembrance
for tier patriotic icvotin n To the best ID
tercsts of the county. We say to tLcm,go
ahead aid that the people will back them
up.-Concord, N. H., Patriot,
An Influential New England msnufictuer
now in Washington is credited with the
| statement that if the electoral bill becomes
a law and the presidential difficulty is thus
pc .ceably and honorably settled, an imme-
date and general revival Of business will
| directly follow, and That this will continue
and grow up into a lasting prosperity ii
congress will follow up this work with a
| sound financial policy.
Secretary Fish takes a sensible view of
il. He approves the electoral bill, and he
ssys the expression of unwillingness by
members of either party to accept the dc.
| cision of euch a beard as it proposes, is
equivalent to an admission that they do not
deem their case a good one.
"Only the business men of the country
favor the electoral bill, is the cry of the
politicians, sand they do 20 because they
think /. will benefit the industrial and
trading interests" Well, are not the Gin
dustrial and trading Interests a little more
important than the question rs to which
set of rartisans shall enjoy the fat dflccs
of the government for the next four years?

Mr.. Edmunds was in the best Of spirits
this morning. He walked about the cham
Der, speaking cordially with senators, and
exhibiting an unusual amount of sociabil-
ily. lie was in fisGuent conference with

of being well satisfied with the position he |
had taken oh the important question pend |
ing before the W houses, snd confident

champion would be triumphant Washing

When we remember the narrow repub-
lican majority in the senate, the movement
of Elmunds, Conkling ANA Frelinghuysen
to adopt arbitration takes all the margin.
We do not fce that either party is in a posi-
