should should go Republican at the

election Is thrown into the House. II
the House should fail to make choice
by the Ath Of March, 1881, the Senate
would then elect the President, and the
Senate being Democratic, would Of
course elect a Democratic President.
The Democrats will have in the Forty
Sixth Congress in the House l52 men,
bers; the Radicals 1874, and the Nationals
"a Democratic majority Of Is. In the
Senate the Democrats will have AZ
members, the Radicals 80, and the Inde-
pendents David Davis, Of Illinois. The
loss to the Democracy of the control OF
New York, was the result Of com bina-
tion Of Tilden and his friends with the
Radicals to defeat the Tammany wing Of
the Democracy, Tilden going clear over
to the Republicans in his support Of
their men. Should New York money
make him the Democratic nominee for
the Presidency in 1880, he can find no
fault with Democrats who may follow
his example Of boiling. But we hope
by that time be will be classed with the
hard-money advocates of gold-bearing
bonds for the rich, and serviIe labor
