though the Democrats might retain their
present numerical ascendency in the
House, or even increase it, they might
still be in a minority of States, and lose
the Presidency, if the election should de-

A MEMBER of Congress had things
very much his own way one night last
week upon which occasion he delivered a
speech literally to empty benches.
When he began his address only one
member was in the house, in addition to
the presiding officer, and as the speaker
warmed up in his argument his solitary
auditor silently arose and left the cham
Der. All the clerks and doorkeepers were
in attendance, the building was fully
lighted up, and all the machinery of the
House of Representatives was in full op-
eration for the benefit of a single speak
er without listeners. 1t would be a
ridiculous farce We're it not for the
solemn fact that it costs the country
many dollars to maintain such unnec-
essary nonsense.

essary nonsense.
THE political complexion of the next
National House of Representatives is a
matter of great solicitude to the leaders
of both parties. Republicans and Demo-
Gratis are opening the campaign early,
each in the hope that some advantages
may be gained before the other gets fairly
to work. The Republicans express strong
hopes of regaining control of the House,
while the Democrats are as sanguine OF
increasing the present majority. What
their hopes are based upon may be seen
from the following glance at the proba-
bilites. The Democrats may gain three
members in Missouri by the recent appor-
tionment, but this is not certain. They
auarreled and lost the last time and may
do so again. If Ohio be redistricted in
the interest of the Democracy the party
will gain two or three Congressman here.
The Democrats will probably lose Col
orado, may lose one district in New Jer-
sey, and unless a wise nomination be
made they will lose the Second District
in Ohio. 1t is certain that Banning can
not carry it again, especially if Ex-
Governor Young should be the Re
publican nominee. There are a
dozen districts 50 close that no guess
as to how they will go is worth the
making. The relative strength by States
is also interesting; for if by any chance
it should happen that the House had to
elect President of the United States
the voting is by States and not by indi-
vidual members. At present, although
the Democrats control the House, the
Republicans are in the majority by States
and would elect the, President should the
House be called on to perform that duty
as the body now stands. The Democrats
hold seventeen States in the House,
namely: Alabama, Arkansas, Colorado
Connecticut, Delaware, Georgia, Ken.
tucky, Louisiana, Maryland, Mississippi
Missouri, New Jersey, North Carolina
Tennessee, Texas, Virginia, and West
Virginia. On the other hand, the Re
pubIicans hold nineteen States, namely
Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Maine
Massachusetts, Michigan Minnesota, Ne
braska, Nevada, New Hampshire, New
York, Ohio, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode
Island, South Carolina, Vermont, anC
Wisconsin. Two States, California anC
Florida, are evenly divided between the
two parties, and would have no weight in
vote by States. The change of one dis
trict in New jersey would throw thu
State into Republican hands, and th'
loss of one in Connecticut would evenly
divide the State On the Republican
side, South Carolina will be lost. Th
change of one district would transfe
New York to the Democrats, and Ohi
redistricted will send Democratic dele
cation. Taking the representation il
the present House as basis for esti
mating the majority by States in tn
next House, it may turn on few dis
tricts in California, Connecticut, NeN
Jersey and New York. Most Of tn
other States, with few exceptions, lik
Oregon and Nevada, have decided ms
jorities of Republicans or Democrat
which are not likely to be MATERIAL
changed without tidal wave such as OF
