The Congressional Outlook from a
Washington StandpOfnt-ke-El ec-
ton Predicated for all the Demo
cratic congressman.

Washington Gazette: The first district, at
present represented by-let US see-J. II.
Randolph, we believe, Republican, will be
redeemed, and Hon. William M Farland or
Colonel G. r. Vance whichever is nominated)
will be elected. Judge M'Farlahd was a
member Of the forty fourth congress, and is a
staunch Democrat and sterling good man.
The second district is irretrievably Repub
lican. Colonel ThOrnburg, who has repre-
scented it since 1872, declines a reelection.
His successor will be Judge l.. G. Houk or
Hon. William Rule, both Republicans.
In the third district General George G.
Dibrell has walk-over. But few men in
congress have done more for their constitu-
ents. He was always at his post and faith
full in the discharge of every duty. If his
constituents study their interests as he does,
they will continue him in congress until he
voluntarily retires.
Judge Bright will be unanimously returned
from the fourth district. His people appreci-
ate their good fortune for having him as
representative. In congress he has long been
recognized as a gentleman of transcendent
abilities.
Hon. 81. Y Riddle will most likely be his
own successor in the fifth district He makes
an able and efficient member, and his people
cannot do SO well as to retain his faithful and
enlightened services.
Hon. John F. House has hold on the peo-
pie of the Nashville district equal to that so
long exercised by John Bell, Felix Grundy,
and Cave johnson, his illustrious predeces-
sors. His speeches in congress have given
him front rank position, and won for him a
reputation of which his State may justly feel
proud.
Admiral Whitthorne will, of course, be re-
turned from the old district, formerly repre-
scented by James K. Polk, who in his pride,
was not more favorite with his people than
the gallant and glorious little champion of
sound Democracy.
the people as now His abors in the present
congress as chairman of the committee of
appropriations were herculean in service, and
productive of untold benefits to the people of
the whole country. To long experience he
adds great ability and a thorough devotion to
the interests of the people. He will be re-
elected by solid vote.
Hon. w. P Caldwell has expressed pur-
pose of retiring, but his constituents, appre-
ciating his splendid abilities and valued serv-
ice, will doubtless prevail upon him to serve
them another term. His speeches in congress
will compare favorably with the ablest made
in that body, and his services secured for him
high character as an able and efficient repre-
sentative.
The tenth district was reclaimed from Rad
lcallsm by Hon. Casey Young, who has repre-
sented it with signal ability in the forty
fourth and fortyffth congresses. He has
made record of which his constituents may
justly be proud. With a vigilance that never
tired, he looked after the interests of his peo-
pie, and accomplished more substantial and
lasting benefits for them than all of his pre-
decessors obtained. The great works inaueu-
rated tor them through his tact, manage
ment, skill and popularity, of course his peo-
pie will send him back to perfect But few
members of his experience In public lie
WELD wider influence or enjoy more ex-
tended popularity
