Desperate Game of the RepublI-
cans.

Washington Post.
The Republicans know that their
financial policy has been con-
demned. They understand per-
fectly that they have no more show
of electing a majority of members
of the next House than they have
of obtaining control of the Govern
ment of France. They are fighting
now for one thing only, and that is
to prevent, if possible, the control of
a majority of the unit or Presiden-
tial votes of the States in the next
House. 1t was for that purpose
that they sOwed Colorado with
money, and that was their object in
concentrating their October efforts
upon the two Cincinnati districts,
hoping thereby to tie the Ohio del
egatiOn. In fact, the whole drift of
the Radical party management
since the Maine election has been
taken with reference to the posi-
bility of an election of President by
the House in 1881. The Republi-
cans do not, iudeed, hope to obtain
such a control of the next House for
themselves, but they are bending
every effort to prevent the Demo-
Gratis from getting it. The meaning
of this strategy is plain. If they
can prevent the Democrats from
controlling a majority of the States,
their next movement will be to
promote the Greenback movement
in Democratic States in 1880, in the
hope Of preventing a Democratic
majority in the Electoral College.
Then the House would be unable to
elect, and upon that preteXt the
Radical leaders intend to seize the
Government. This is an intricate
programme, but it is Il desperate
one, and when we survey the possi-
bilities in reference to the unit
votes of the States in the next
House, it becomes alarming. In
short, and to sum up, we have posi-
tive knowledge that the sole aim of
the Radical managers is to prevent
the Democrats from obtaining q
clear majority in the delegations of
twenty States in the next House.
II they can do this, they will con-
slider the situation for 1880 still open
to their genius for intrigue, fraud
and revolution.

A Decided Democratic Majority Ina
Both Houses.

Philadelphia Times Independently
The battle for the control Of the
next House is ended and as Demo-
cratic ascendancy i'm the Senate has
long since been assured, the next
Congress will be Democratic in both
branches, for the first time during
the last quarter Of a century. The
States that have alreadychosen Com
gressmen have 80 Republicans and
is Democrats i'm the present House.
The same States have elected 26
Republicans, % Democrats and 8
Nationals TO the next Congress, with
one vacancy i'm Vermont that will
be filled by Barlow, National. On
the square issue between Republi-
cans and Democrats the Republic
cans have lost 13 and the Demo-
Gratis have gained Z, thus adding IA
to the present Democratic majority
of the body, and reducing the Re
publican strength more than the
Democrats gain, by the National
triumphs. The Republicans would
have to gain % Congressman to Sc
cure a clear majority i'm the House,
and that il so far beyond the pale OF
pbSSADlAlAN AlhL AhNN MhM AANNhlHN
it. AT the most, they can't gain
more than one or two in New Eng
land, and as many more in New
York. In Pennsylvania they must
surpass all present expectations TO
hold their present IL to 10, and in
the South and West they can make
no material inrOads upon the De-
mocracy. The next House will
certainly be distinctively Demo
cratic, over both Republicans and
by a majority of 20 or
more, and the Republicans will be
in a minority of from % TO 80. The
success Of the Democrats in the In
diana legislature secures the election
of Voorhees,, and allowing Penn
sylvania, New York, Nevada and
to elect Republican
Senators, the Democratic control Of
the Senate couldn't be endangered.
Henceforth the Republicans will
direct their campaign to elect State
officers and Legislatures, and Con-
candidates will be allowed
to paddle their own canoes.
