The Next House of Representatives.. i
The Republicans can carry the next
House of Representatives. An exchange
analyses the case: iIoHa -l5
In view of the certainty that the Democrats
will obtain CONTROL OF the Senate in theeFortv-
sixth Congress. the probable composition of
the next House becomes a matter of cconsider-
able interest and speculation. This interest is
increased from the possibility that there may
be three Presidential tickets in the field in
1880, and that the election of j President may
thus be thrown into the House. Whether this
latter anticipation prove true or not, the11ake-
up of the House and it's inE uence upon the PEI
culiar class Of legislation demanded by South
ern Democrats will be important. Some idea
of the probabilities in the cease can be gained
by a glance at the figures in al fewof theSclose
districts at the last election. 49, II0A dI Il
After the rascally and fraudulent admission
of Colorado Patterson early III thes session the
Republicans in the present House numbered 140
and the Democrats 1853. aDemocratic ma jority
of thirteen, which a Republican net. gain of
seven would ovel come. The Democrats have
since increased their ma GRITTY, but the means
by which they have done 1t will certainly react
against themselves in the contested districts.
Pacheco and other Republicans ,wholhave been
uniustly ousted from their seats will he re.
turned next fall by maicrities so large that no
excuse for q contestcan bef found. W. mention
below some of the districts In the <Northawhich
the Republicans may reasonably -eXpectv to re-
cover at the next election, land ,also a. few
Southern districts which rightfnlly belong to
them, but which the Democratic style of cam
)paigning in the solid South is likely to deprive
them of. gi8a 3fI }h .3Y9I 9lf 4yTjHI
