ARMY RETIREMENT.
Gen. LO=an's YieWs-The Next House
Prospects for n Democratic Victory.
Ss,s,,,I D;r,otrA N ths ReOfsker

WASHINGTON, May 2.-Gen. Logan, who
is looking much better than when he left
some weeks ago, is again in his place, and
the compulsory retirement army bill, which
has been delayed owing tie his absence,
will now be taken up. He expresses him
self strongly in favor of the clause retiring
officers at 81 years, and it is thought that
the bill will pass the Senate in that shape.
\ good deal of talk is going on as to the
polititalcomplsSion of the next House,
and il is an undoubted fact that while the
Republicans feel good deal discouraged,
the Democrats claim that they will un-
doubredly carry the country and
secure good working majority
in Congress. \ prominent and
Influential Republican member, who keeps
well posted as to the popular drift OF public
sentiment, in the course of a conversation
said that the dissatisfaction among the
Republicans of Pennsylvania, New York
and Ohio was having disastrous results.
The temperance movement as in Ohio, was
giving the Republicans good deal OF un-
easiness, and as in Iowa, a member told
him the other day, may result in the defeat
of one or two Republican Congressman in
that state. As to Pennsylvania, and New
York, the situation remains about the
same as il has beeu for q year or
more psst. In both these States the
issue is one Of supremacy between Stal
warts and anti-Stalwarts. With these two
contending factions in the field it is eX-
tremely probable that the Democrats will
make great gains and may secure several
additional Congressman. In Ohio the same
issue exists TO some extent between Re
publicans. But this in itself is not likely
TO make much differences in results.
Otherwise, however, the outlook is even
more to be deplored by Republicans than
anywhere else. In the larger cities, where
the German population is greatest, the loss
to the Republicans in consequence of the
enforcement of the liquor law, would un-
doubtedly be greater, and he wouldn't be
surprised il the Democrats elected two
Congressman from Cincinnati, one from
Cleveland and one from Toledo. This would
make gain Of four to the Democrats and q
loss of four to the Republicans. With a
gain Of seven more elsewhere, the Demo

ginia, snd later the committee agreed to
make favorable report on the bill intro
