Drear Prospece for sse.,"bitCss
- - ArsshMeaiet~ss.

After careful obse rvalion Of
the progress OF the National.Labor-
Greenback party, we are led to
think that the Republican party
will sustain from it the principal
loss in the Congressional elections.
That party will lose largely from
this cause in Pennsylvania, New
York and Massachusetts,. II the
ratio Of loss shall prove to be
against the Republican party, a
large majority for the Democrats
will be ass ured. We can see 10
reasol TO doubt that tho present
Democratic majority of the
House, counting by members, will
be incrsassi by twelve or fifteen at
least, while the party's connt hy
States will be largely reinforced,
including such unexpected addi-
tions to our strength as the vote of
Oregon. The vote by States be-
comes important In view of the
possible failure of an election of
President by the people.
To simplify our ideas, and make
them comprehensible by every
body, let ia take the State of Mas
sachusetts as an example. There
is in that common wealth a taclt
and understood bargain between
Ben Batter ana the Democracy by
which, in consideration Of the
Democrats retaining from nomin.
ating candidate for Governor,
the doughty Ben will throw all bis
Workingman, National Labor
Greenback influence for the Demo-
cratic Congressional candidates.
In consequence, it is just as likely
as not that, should the House of
Representatives he called upon to
elect the President, Massachusetts
herself may figure in the column
of Democratic States. Tn voting
for President by States each State
votes by a majority OF its Con-
gressional delegation, and each
State counts but one vote.
On the supposition that the De-
mocracy should fail to elect their
candidate by direct majority of
the Electoral Colleges, and that
the Republicans should be in
similar plight, the reckoning
would probably bs as follows:
There are lhirty-eight States of
the American Union. The DEM
ocracy begin with a count of the
"solid South" inclpding, with the
State of West Virginia, created by
the Republican party, but now
soundly Democratic, sixteen votes.
Twenty is IL majority of all. In the
whole length ani breadth Of the
United States We have only to Sc
cure, in the Congressional elect
ions, three votes, Of States by ma.
joritles Of Congressional deleya-
tions, because the vote of Oregon
is already ours, which makes our
count seventeen. All the political
probabilities point to our adding
to this column New York, Connec.
ticut and Pennsylvania. which
were Democratic in the last elec-
tion, and which would make the
twenty desired. In addition, we
can we'll afford to gamble for such
close States as Nevada and Colo.
RADIO. California we leave to one
side, as an uncertain quantity. IfI
It Is not Democratic 1t certainly is
not Republican. Ohio and Indi-
INA have been redistricted, aud will
,s certainly Democratic, which
brings our count up to twenty-five.
New Yerk will send Democratic
teyond a peradventure,
which brings the Democratic total
Ip to twenty-three. Wisconsin
nd New Hampshire are both
oubtful, and likely to drop down
u the Democratic side. Altogeth-

NEM-ENGLAND OPINION.

FOUR or THE GOVERNORS CONSULTED ABOUT THE
PROGRAMME or THE REvoLUroSIsrs-OPEN
CONDEMNATION OF IT By TWO OF THEM.
BosTov. May 1O.-In an interview yesterday on
the subject of the Potter Investigation, Governor
Rice said that he believed the Democrats mistake
the temper of the country; the people gem
erally have accepted the decision of the Flee
toral Commission rs fnality; The purpose
of the present agitation seems to be either to im-
peach the President and Gust him from Office or to
procure material for the Fall campaign. From :he
persstency with which the movement Is pushed 1t
would almost seem that both objects were i'll view.
Governor Rice expressed the belief that there is no
danger that the Democrats will discover any
thing which can oust the President. He said
that the stability of the Government should not

larly at a time when so much communism is active
and latent aud thousands of restless and dissatis-
fled persons are ready to enter upon revolutionary
undertaking. hayingthc semblance OF an anthorita-
tive leadership. Regarding President Hayes, Cover
nor Rice said Il believe that he Is honest. and that
he believes that he was fairly seated. .
On being asked fOran opinion AT Augusta, Mc.,GOv-
crnor Conner expressed his linguallhed diSIpproVal
of the movement 10 unseat the President. lie said
that the resolutions of the Republican party OF the
State of Maine at the last state Convention decar
ing President IIayess title valid and unimpeacha-
BILE, fully represents the united sentiment OF
the party throughout the state; while IN
dividuls may differ concerning certain
features of the Presidents policy, they no more
think of disturbing his title than that OF General
Washington. The Governor regards the present ac-
ton of the Democrats in Congress as revolutionary
in the extreme and detrimental TO the business Ill
teTcsts of the country
Governor Fairbanks, of Vermont, was visited at
st. Johnsbury. and asked for an opinion, but de-
clined to express any. &,
Governor Prescott, of New-IIampshire on beng

other than his belief that any movement TO GUST
