more upon q partisan majority in the

The Change of Ten Years in Con-
greSS!

i 4 fa b. f. :
A remarkable change has been
wrought in the political character of the
Upiled States Congress in ten years. In
1859, when Hon. Allen G.. Thurman first
took his seat in the United States Senate
as a Senator from OHIO. and looked
round the Senate chamber, he found that
only ten other Senators answered to the
classification as Democrats, while sixty
one Senators answered to the classifica-
ton as Republicans, and Georgia was
without representation. This gave the
Republicans fifty majority over the Dem
ocrsts in the Senate. ass i.
In the Holse the representation was,
Republicans one hundred and sixtynine,
and Democrats seventv.tw with a va
cancy in the Sd Ohio District and va
cancy in the 2Ist Pennsylvania District.
This gave the Republicans ninety.seven
majority in the House, aud one hundred
and forty seven majority on joint hallut.
Then the outlook for the Democratic par
ty was not cloudy merely-it was i'm
penetrably dark, without rift in the
darkness through which ray of hope
could penetrate to cheer to steadfastness
in the. faith and to maintain organization.
The faithful band struggled on and hoped
on. Their fidelity to principle and or
ganization has been rewarded. They
have triumphed! On and after the 4th
OF March next, Senator Thurman, as he
walks into the Senate. can point you to a
Democratic majority of at least eight in
the Senate and to an equal, il not great.

PennsyIvania Returning Board.

HARRISBURG, Nov. 12.-The Republi
cans are making desperate efforts to
swell the Republican strength in the next
Congress. Chas. E Albright, Republi.
can, was beaten by Robert A. Klotz in
the district composed of Columbia, Mon
tour, Pike, Monroe, Carbon and por-
ton of Lackawana, by about 200 major
ity, as computed by the Return Judges
of the several counties; but today the
Congressional Return Judges met, and
failing to agree as 10 who she uld receive
the certificate both candidates received
certificates at the hands Of their respect
i've friends. The probability is that Gov
Hartranft will issue the certificate to the
Republican member, as be is an active
member Of the Pennsylvania Ring But
this is about as far as Albright will ever
get, as the Clerk of the House, initiating
McPherson's example, will never put
him on the roll. F, A. Bemis, who was
recently pardoned out of the Peniten.ia-
ry by Gov. Hartranft, has been backing
up Albright's case, and the refusal OF
several of the Judges to recognize
Klotz's majority is due to the influence
Of Bemis, who is an unscrupulous poll
tician in the pay of the Cameron Ring.
