wealth, who does not want TO see the value OF
his income or property unsettled and diminished
by Democratic victory.
Mr.. Blrnum issues a shreking address, III
| which he wants to know whether the voters
| of this country can be " bought" Well, no.
| Mr.. Blrmm-iudging from the results OF your
| labors in Indiana, we should say they coulu
not.
A letter from our staff core spondcnt In the
| mining regions describes the new attempts
making To gam fabulous wealth from the OLD
placers of the Ortiz Grant IN New Mexico.
| The Democratic attempt to make Mr.. Eng
| lish the scapegoat is little overdone. MI
| English is a pretty mean man, but the Demo-
| cratic party is meaner than he is. Ana II was
| the party that was beaten; Mr.. Ehglsh Will
| be voted on in November
The assured Disappearance OF me rev
Gilbert De La Matyr from the halls OF Con

The following is a private dispatch to the
Editor of The TRIBUNE from MAJOR SWAMI

intended for publication IN Its present

Portcr's plurality will not fall below 5000
and may reach 5000. and that there is Re
nubj,c,n Joint ballot majority Of fourteen II
the Legislature. 1t is clean sweep
In ONO likewise. The Republican
and Democratic figures GENE within
thousand votes of each other. The Repup'
lic,ns have received returns from all out ioul
Of the IS counties, showing a Republican net
gain for Secretary of state on last years vote
Of 1870. This would make the plurality on
the head of the ticket 1S,S04. The Demo

something but not much. The rest of the h
nubrcan ticket will average $4,000 plurality
This is lust about three times as large plu-

and viii do-until November.
The Rebel Brgaders may as well prepare

II is now entirely safe to say that twenty-five
| of tho forty-two committee chairmen in the
next House of Representatives Will not b.
Southern men as now. The Republicans OF
Indiana have elected nine Congressman, winch
makes a total Republican gain in the three
Sta1es Of Indiana, Ohio and Oregon OF ten
members. The Republicans have 40 MEM
hers in the present House they need seven
teen more to control the next House, of which
they have already secured ten, leaving only
| seven now necessary to a majority. Counting
the election of Republican instead of a
| Rcpubllcan National in Vermont rs gain,
which il is OH this basis of calculation,
the margin is only six votes. Surprising
that the other four Republican Nationals
Will act with the Republicans, or will
| he replaccd with straight Republicans,
the margin is reduced to two votes. The
Democratic jig is up. This is the end OF
| the Democratic House and all its works-the
House that produced Finhugh, and good
many other men "biger than old Grant" !;
the House that evolved Glover; the House
| that set I'D an Electoral Commission, and then
| tried TO flbuster Tilden into the Presidency +;
| the House in which for SIX years men like
! Ewing, Black burn, Knott, and s. 5. Cox were
leaders the House which cut down the ap-
| propriations below starvation point, for the
| sake of party capital, and then had to pass
big deficiency bills, and give all the capital to
| their opponents the House which for six
wears, for its appointments, its acts and its
refusals to act, It's votes and Its insane buck
| ing against vetoes, its resolutions and its APP
| proprations, its incompetency, ignorance and
Stiffness, has been the laughing stOck of the
| country. Sic transit. Let it be rapid.
