ESPECIAL DISPATCHES TO THE REooRp-uNIoS.l
DOMESTIC NEWS.
Discouraged Southern Democrats The
Next House.
WASHINGTON, June l2th.-Since the Re-
publican majority in the House of Repre-
sentatives unseated three Southern Demo-
Gratis who claimed to have besn elected,
reports have reached the Democratic man
ayers here of great encouragement among
the Southern Democrats. The feeling
seemed to be that if the Republicans obtained
q majority in the next House, they would
proceed to unsea. every Southern Democrat
whose seat was contested, and the
consequence, would be that eandi-
very little encouragement for them to
make the Congressional race. These reports
excited no little apprehension here, and after
comforting together, the Southern members
determined to make thorough canvass, for
the purpose of ascertaining, if possible, what
the political complexion of the next House
would probably be. Two of the members
have made this canvass within a few days,
and as result of their inquiries have figured
out q Democratic aiority of ten in the next
House. They reach this conclusion by count
ing on sure gains IS follows: In Connecti-
cut, South Carolina, Illinois. West Vir-
GINA. Mississippi and California, one
each. In Texas and Pennsylvania, five
each. Indiana and Ohio, three each. New
York two, and Missouri four. They expect to
make other gains in such States as Massa-
chusetts, Maine and New Hampshire, but
these do not enter into the figures in which
they base probable majority of ten. The
only State in which they expect loss is Ne
vada, and they think the chances are that
they will lose the one Representative there.
The results. as reached by these gentlemen.
with the figures as given above, have been
sent to the various State Executive Commit
tees in the South. in the hope OF restorisg
confidence in that section.
The Star Eoute Cases.
WASHINGTON, June 12sh.-The hearing in
the star route cases was resumed to-day.
Amos NJ Wilson, one of the Journal Clerks
of the Postoffice Department, knew Reerdell
and Miner they had often been in his Office.
Witness was asked what routes Reerdell had
been interested in, and the defense obi ected
to the question but witness was finally
allowed 20 answer. He said Rserdell came
to inquire when the warrants would be issued
to J. w, Dorsey and Peck. Miner appeared
in his own interest, and for Vale. Quite a
number of contractors held large number of
contracts individually. and many of them
employed agents to look after their business
before the Department. 1t was not, there
fore, considered an unusual circumstance
when Reerdell and Miner appeared on behalf
of Dorsey, and Reerdell and Miner never
conversei together in his hearing did not
know whether or not Raerdsll had power
of attorney from j. w. Dorsey; but pre-
sumed the official files would show. His
division had all the data relating to these |
contracts, and if warrant had not appeared |
correct it would have been returned to the |
Auditor for comparison and correction. |
Orders for expedition. signed by the Second |
Assistant Postmaster General, were exam
ined, and If they were found not to be in
accordance with law their correction by the |
Second Assistant Postmaster-General would
be necessary tefore they could have been
paid. At the conclusion of this witness
testimony, Ingersoll exclaimed, Bring US
another witness just like this one."
