The demand upon Judge Thurman to yield
his personal preferences and consent to accept
the Democratic nomination for Governor OF
Ohio continues to increase It begins to ap-
pear that he will have to yield at last, al
though up to the present time no disposition
has been manifested in this direction. The
friends Of Mr.. Thurman desire hin, to rem ain
out Of the canvass. as his presidential chances
may be damaged thereby, but on the
other hand 1t is commended that he is the
strongest man In the Democratic party In
Ohio and 1t is necessary in party interests
that he shall make the race. From this stand
point. 1t Is hard to see how Mr.. Thurman can
decline the nomination IL 1t Is rendered
greatly before the national convention.

SENATE AND HOUSE EXPENSES.

The following, from a Washington spe>
cial to the Baltimore !Sun, shows the expen>
ses of the Senate and House of Representa-
tives at intervals of five fiscal years, from
1850 to 1875, aud for 1873 and 1879: For
the year 1850. Senate 1851 ,345, House
S767 .164; for 1855. Senate 1851 1893, House
S1,O9G, 73O. for 1860, Senate $685., 5,90l,
House 81 ,6Ss 607; for 1865, Senate $751;
3O3, House 81, ,350,OSS; for 1870, Senate
sS19.595, House $685. 1918; for 1875,
Senste S700,96S, House S2,O40 $50; for
1873, Senate SS36.S2l, House 81, 1873 305
for 1879. Senate sS52.770, House s2,220,>
l46. The Senate expenditures for 1865
were SO much less than the other years be-
cause at that time the South was not repre-
sented in either house of Congress. The
Democrats got possession of the House of
Represcn tatives in 1875. The expenses of
the body for that year and for 1878 and
1879, twill be seen, figure up in each year
at least 81, 500 ,0G0 less than for the year
1870, when the Republicans had control.
The expenses of tho Senate almost doubled
from 1865 to 1870. The Democrats OBJ
tanned possession of the Senate on the 4th of
March last, and are responsible for what
additional appropriations were made during
the extra session, as the regular apptopria.
tions for the fiscal year ended June 80 were
made when the Senate was Republican. The
extra session, of course, involved unusual ex~
penditurcs.

The Control of the House.

A little more interference with Republican
figures is contained in the following COM
ments of the Springfield Republican
Republicans who are confidently relying
upon the control of the next House on the
basis of the elections this autumn are over
sanguine. In Ohio, in spite of their defeat,
the Democrats would have carried as many
districts as they have now if the poll on Gov
ernor had been for Congressman. Every
district in New York State now represented
by a Democrat would have remained SO If
the vote cast for Potter and Hoskins had
been thrown for Democratic and Rerubli>
can candidate for Congress in each district in
the State, and the 18th district which went
Republican in 1878, was carried by the
Democrats this fall so that in NeS York
State the Democrats would unquestionably
score gain of one aud the united Dem
ocratic vote in the city would give them one
if not two more Comgressnen. Judging
from such returns as have been published in
New Jersey the Democrats would have held
their own there. They would have lost some
seats in Pennsylvania. On the other hand
in Massachusetts, they would have carried
four seats instead of one as last year. The
vote on State issues one year is worth little
as guide for the vote on Congressman the
next year, but such figures are worth as
much one way the other and they show
that the Republicans can not claim the next
House With confidence any more than the
Democrats can feel certain that their rarrow
majority of one, gained by the election OF
Waldo Hutchins in New York, will bo re-
tanned.
