The Next Congress.

1t is conceded on all hands that
the Democrats will have a majority
in both branches Of the next (46th)
Congress. And the only question Of
interest in reference to the matter is
the extent of this majority.
SENATE. In respect to the Senate,
the Washington correspondent of the
NJ Y. Times figures out a very poor
Republican show of members. With
the probable losses in several States
enumerated, he fixes the probable To-
tai number of Republican Senators
at 27 With kellogg OF Louisiana, aud
tifKellogg should be dropped from the
rolls, which he regards as a fact quite
likely to take place, the number
would be reduced to 20, just one third
Of the Senate.
House. The elections that have
been recently held in several states
for members of the House of Repre-
sentatives in the 46th Congress com
pared with members holding seats
in the present or 45th Congress, show
a sufficient gain of Democratic mem
bers, to place the political complex
ion beyond dispute. The following
States have elected members to the
46th Congress, and are represented
as follows:

~ I r.
Senator Thurninn's View Of IL,
and Of the Democracy.
A Cincinnati EaQuirer's reporter
has been interviewing Senator Thur
man. In answer to the question,
'Senater, what do you think of the
third partyAthe Nationals" Mr..
Thurman said:
"Senator TIT contains many
good men, some bad men, and not u
few misguided men. The idea that
1t can absorbthe Democratic party,
or the. Republican party, or draw
enough from them both to become
the dominant party, is fallacious.-
In a country Of free institutions
there never has been, and there new.
err will DO, but two great permanent
parties, the one party Of privileges
created by law, and the other par
~ Of equal rights, In our country
the partyof equal rights is the Dem.
ocratic party. The party of privi-
leges, created by law, has ever been,
and yet is, the party opposed to the
Democracy. exclude from the COM
parison the slavery Of the blacks
that formerly existed, not only in
the South, but also in the North
That was forced upon US by our Eng
lish ancestors against the earnest
protest of our forefathers. Exclu-
ding that, what statute was ever
passed by Democratic Congress or
i Democratic Legislature to confer
special privileges upon Democrats?
| Not one. But on the other hand,
every public debt law, every bank
ing law, every tariff law, every sub
sidy law, has conferred immense
privileges upon our opponents. Sir,
the Democratic party is the natural
party of free institutions. II is in
destructible so long as such institn-
tions exist. Ambitious men, seek
| ing for a "new deal" may strive to
destroy it, but they will only realize
the vanity of "kicking against the
pricks." Look at our vote this year
| in Ohio and see how the party has
maintained its organization and its
integrity. l tell you, sir, that should
the Democratic party cease to exist
liberty would cease to exist. The
contest would then be between des-
potism and c Communism. The Dem
ocratic party is the break-water
against both, and it is the only truly
conservative party in the land
There is no reason whatever why a
Democrat should join or remain in
the National party. The Democrat.
ic party is in nowise responsible fol-
the evils of which he complains
For nearly eighteen years our party
has been out of power. Every act
of legislation Of which the Nationals
complain was passed by a Radical
Congress and approved by a Radical
President. No relief from the conse.
quences Of these acts can be obtained
except by the agency of the Dem
ocratic party No third party can
afford relief. This fact, which is be.
coming more and more apparent day
by day, will in the end draw to the
Democratic party all who are oppos-
ed to ruinous Radical legislation,

villifying and abusing the Hon. w,
W. Newman, formerly a resident Of

Greenback candidate for CONGRESS IA IA
opposition to General Joe johnson,
the Democratic nominee, know very
little of the man, or they would
cease their idle twaddle, and make
haste to apologize for their indecent
attacks upon him. Here in Mason
county where he is well known, he
was always regarded as a gentleman
Of fine culture and ability, and as
a man of sterling character and
worth. His record for honesty and
uprightness, and character, is as
good, if not better, than the men who
are trying to degrade him, even to
wilfully misrepresenting him. We
have but little respect for an editor
who aims to do an honest man inju.
ry, though he be an enemy. We had
hoped that higher, purer and nobler
impulses governed the Democratic
editors of Charleston.

The Outlook in Pennsylvania.

the strenuous exertions being just
put forth by both parties, a close and
exciting contest may be expected
Great hopes are being built by the
Democrats upon the spirit of harmo.
ny which prevails in their ranks, all
side issues being laid away, and par.
ty gaps healed over to further their
common cause. Senator Dill and
Hon. j. II. Hopkins, who was his
chief competitor for the nomiation,
are now canvassing together, night
ly addressing large crowds, gaining
popularity and votes wherever they
are heard, Mr.. Hopkins and his
friends have set u worthy example
in giving such unqualified support
to his late rival. No sooner was the
decision made, no sooner was Mr.. Dill
nominated than he forgot they had
been rival candidates, and has, with
commendable zeal, given his ardent
and enthusiastic support.
Should the Democracy carry the
