WASHINGTON, Sept 26.-The Democratic
congressional campaign committee has
very fattering reports from Ohio, some
leaders in that state claiming that the
Democrats will not only carry the state,
but will elect seven certainly, and possibly
ten members of congress. Since the
nomination of Cleveland in New York by
the Democrats. and the admission by the
New York newspapers that his candidacy
is strong one, the committee is advised
that gain in the congressional delegation
will be made in that state. The same ad-
vices are received fir ON Pennsylvania.
These several fattering reports inspire
Secretary Thompson, of the committee,
with confidence that the Democrats will
have majority in the Forty
eighth congress, which will
enable the party to control its organiza-
tion. Certain it is that other leading
Democrats are of the same opinion, and
there is already speculation as to who
will be elected speaker, clerk and sergeant
alarms. For the speakership, of course
Mr.. Randall will be candidate. Should
Pennsylvania go Democratic this fall it
would place him in very commanding
position to win. His chief competitor will
be Hon. j. G. Carlisle, of Kentucky, who,
it is thought, will get the bulk of the
Southern vote. The nomination of ex-
Clerk of the House Adams by the Demo
Gratis of the Ninth district of Kentucky
puts him out of the race for the clerkship.
as he will no doubt be elected to congress.
The most prominent candidate spoken of
for the place is Representative Martin, of
Delaware. who will be strongly supported
if the speakership goes to candidate west
of the Alleghenys. Mr.. Martin declined a
| congressional nomination. Should Ohio
go Democratic, ex-Sergeant at Arms
Thompson will be candidate for his old
place. He is managing the pending Ohio
| canvass, and if he succeeds in winning the
state his claims for his old place will no
doubt receive just consideration.
To look on the other side of the picture,
the officers of the Republican congressional
committee laugh at the idea of the Demo-
Gratis securing the next house. They
are willing to concede slight
loss in Ohio, but feel confident they will
more than over balance it in expected
gains in the South.
The hall of the house is being put in
shape for the second session Of the forty
seventh congress. To-day the members
desks are being placed in position. Dur
| ing the last session, extending as it did
nine months, furniture of the hall was bad
| ly used. The members desks have all
been scrapped and re-varnished and will
be covered with deep blue cloth instead of
| light green as it was the last session. This
is more agreeable to the eye. The speak
er's and clerks desk will be covered in the
same colors, and the draping of the hall
will be selected to match The speakers
desk had to be reinforced with strong wood.
Keifers gavel mashed a square foot of
the old desk into pulp.
Some time since one of the weekly or
gans published here as an organ of the
soldiers interest. made the statement that
though Ex-Secretary Window, of Min
nesota, was comparatively a poor man
when he entered the senate, he has grown
in few years to be very rich man. In
corroboration of this statement it was
said that Senator WINDOWS new house
facing Scott square would cost him, when
completed, 100000. and was superior in
every respect and more costly than the
residence of Senator Cameron and Ex-
Secretary Blaine in the same locality.
Yesterday photographer was seen max
ing photographs of the several houses
| owned by Senator Window, including his
new mansion. The presence of the artist
and his traps caused considerable talk.
He said he was making photographs of
the houses, from which cuts are to be made
and printed in the soldiers paper as proof
of their charges. Other photographers
were sent to West Virginia by the same
paper to make photographs of Senator
| WINDOWS coal mines there, and the build
