huPuuhcans were strong Tor the presldentbl /;
election, but the results seem to be an earn =,
est that they arc about to rcguin posses ion :,
of the lower house Of congress aud gain
strength, at least, in the senate. In the present
house Of representatives there are ono hun !,
bred and thirty Republicans and as one hun ;,
bred and iorty-seven will give them msj lr-
ity, they have only seventeen members 10
gain to have the requisite number. Yer
mont gave them one, Oregon one, Indiana 6
three and Ohio six, making eleven of the
seventeen already obtained. How, and where
arc they to get the other SKI We shall not
attempt to suggest how they will get them !
for their ways of carrying elections are go
devious, so peculiar to themselves, so pro- a
foundly mysterious that il would simply be
labor lost for us to say word on the :
point. Locking about u3 we see very plainly |
nLirely to plainly to bepleasant, where thoy
them n majority in the house after the 4th, OF
next March. In ,hc third California district
the Democrats in 1878 elected the present in
cumbont, Hon. Q. p. Bury, by 24S msjority
in tho second Florida district, Hon. N. A.
Hull was elected by but II majority Hon.
Miles Ross was elected in the
third New Jersey district by only
3'S majority The eleventh Pennsylvania dis
tact returned Hon. Robert Klotz by only
81 majority; Hon A. II. Ooifroth, of the
seventeenth Pennsylvania district, can boast
but 305 lasjority, and the fourth Wisconsin
district elected Hon. p. V. Deuster by just
1876 majority. Here are six congressional
Districts now represented by Democrats, in |
which vigorous battles made by the Repub-
licans with the power Of the federal govern .
ment and the sid of manufacturing and 9TH -
or moneyed monopoies behind them, may 8
result in defeat TO the Demo rats. If this Y y
should bo the case and Hancock should be q
elected, the Republicans will still hold a a
strong hand to help them on toward sue ,
cess in electing Grant in 1884. They would :,
however, with Hancock in the n
whito house, be without The assistance f
of the federal treasury and the administra
ton generally, which they now have. There i
are, besides these districts particulari2ed i
some half dC2en others where Democrats j
were elected by mOjorities less than one
thousan :, and in some of these the Republi- G
cans might reasonably hope for success. 1t t
will be great pity, indeed, if the Democracy s.
shall lose the next house of representatives \
in congress. The new apportionmont is to
be made by this congress, and if it is Rapub d
lican it, work in that line will all be to the 0
detrimant of the interests Of the SOUTH as far +,
as is practicable. Furthermore, u Republican Il
house, with Hancock in the presidential 81
chair, will stu y to render nugatory all a.
efforts of the Democratic party and the d
Democratic executive towards reform and d
towards return to constitutional gov c
ernmont. 1t will let the affairs of the coun-
Try as far ms it dares, 60 to the bow-wows, {
occupying tho entire time with politics to Z
the end of bringing tho Democratic party !
and the Democratic executive into disrepute p
with the masses, SO MS to regain power for n
the Republicans in 1884. 4 Republi- b
can congress with Democratic president o.
will have but one light for it's guidance, but n
one actua'rg motive and that will be success 81
for Grant in 1884. a Republican congress ST
will defeat that investigation of Republican W
frsula, corruption and in(amy heaped noun. Il
tain high in all the archives of the IT
government, in all the records of II
the various departments, accumulated II
during the past twenty years, that the coun Y
try is so interested in having exposed. -Four il

There will not be corporal's b

the earontory ever again TO raise his head or !,

yc'rs, that would be laid bare for a.
the gaze OF the people. Ought not is
tho Democrats, then, to be up and doing u
in every congressional district throughout the y
length and breadth of the union? Support ~
the Democratic noI inees. This is no time r,
in which to indulge personal preferences, and 81
if there is any democrat in any congressional y
district in the state of Texas who has though
that ho would vote for any Independent or +
greenback candidate tor congress, we say D
to him not to do it, If he wants to see demo o.
cratic principles prevail in the ncxt con a,
gress. We say TO eY-democratic greenback fc
.ers that they will best serve their state and =,
heir entire country if they will vote the u
democratic ticket this year and give theri
support 10 a greenbaeker the next cleo ton
The election of greenbacker from Texas
will not strengthen the greenbsck party in q,
anywise, but it will weaken re
the democratic party and there NJ
by strengthen the Republican party, a.; a'
