viction that although his body would soon
be gone his mind could never die His pub
lie career was-not extended, bat he had
served two terms in the Territorial legsla-

EARLY sP%EcpLATIoNs
As to = Possible Presidential Deadlock
In Congress.

IN congress.
Special TO the cinslnnai Enquirer.
WASHINGTON, September 7.-Ift II proves
to be correct, as reported by telegraph,
that the Republicans have elected ali four,
or even three, members Of Congress from
that State, 1t may have a most important
bearing on the Presidency. II the people
should fail to elect, and the election
should be thrown into the House Of Rep.
~resentatives, and the delegations remain
as Of present constituted, then one man,
De La Matyr, Of Indiana, would have Il In
his power 10 dictate the President OF the
United States. Each State has one vote, and
rs ut present constituted In their repre-.
sentatfon eighteen would vote for the Dem.
ocratic candidate. These are: Alabama,
Arkansas, Delaware, Florida, Georgia,
Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, Missls-
sisppi, Missouri, North Carolina, Ohio,
Oregon, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas,
Virginia and West Virginia. The follow.
ing nineteen States have o majority OF
Republicans in their delegations, viz:
California, Colorado, Connecticut, Illinois,
Iowa, Kansas, Maine, Massachusetts,
Michigan, Minnesota, Nebraska, Nevada,
New Hampshire, New jersey, New York,
Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont
and Wisconsin. The Indiana delegation
has sig Democrats and six Republicans,
while Mr.. De La Matyr Is sort OF o free
lance. In the event Of the election going
10 the House the result would depend on
his vote. Should he vote with the Repub.
licans that party would have the required
majority TO elect their candidate, for thew
would have twenty States. Should he vote
with the Democrats there would be a tic,
and consequently no election by the
House. II would then deyolye on Inc
Senate 10 elect O Vice President, who
would become President. The Senate be.
ing Democratic, there would be a Demo.
cratic President, as q matter OF course,
should the election fall to that body. The
election In CalitoFQiR- assuming that four
Republicans have been elected-also de-
ereases the Democratic majority in the
House. At the last session there was q
membership Of 2S7, Of which l45 were
classed as Democrats, 128 as Republicans
and le as Greenbackers; but ofthe Green,
hackers six always voted with the Demo.
Gratis on strict party questions, six with thI
Republicans, while the ether I've some
times voted one way and sometimes an
other, hut their procltvities are Republi
ean. There were, therefore, on all party
questions, 151 Democrats, lal Republican,
lnd. FIVE G~reepbapkers, giving a Demo
cratic majority Of fifteen over all. Add thl
four members just elected in California Il
the Republican column, and the Demo
Gratis still have a majority Of eleven owe
all. To make the full complement OF 20
members, elections are going to be held i
hll vacancies in the Fifth Iowa and Twelfth
New York Districts. II these District
should elect Republicans as they did las
year, the DemoCrats would still have
maiotity al nine over all opposition. Thi
