Confidential to the Post"

The Washington Post, in commenting
on an editorial Of The REPUBLICAN, says
This I, an admission that the Republicans are
destined 10 meet with losses in the Northern States
sufficient to reduce them TO minority party unless
thcy can Offset them by gains a, the South.
Not so. If we were to separate from
the Readiustcrs of Virginia we should
have solid Bourbon representation from
that state in the next House Or we
might lose any one Of the Southern dis
tricts we Ipw hold. We should lose the
House Of Representatives WithOW o,,y losses
IN the NDFhCw Ndics il We were to rely on
Republican votes alone for II majority of
the House of Representatives. Az to the
Senate Democrat viii succeed Nv kel-
logg, of Louisiana, and Il Republican will
succeed Mr.. Davis, of Illinois. That
would still leave tie, with Mr. Malone
acting with the Republicans. The only
Republican goios We can possibly hope to
make on a strict party basis are Republi-
cans from Oregon and New Jersey 10 sue
ceed Senators Grover and Mcpherson.
If we make those gains the Senate
would then stand Republicans, thirty
nine: Democrats, thirty-live Virginia
Independents, two, giving the Republic
cans a majority of two. If we should
lose either Oregon or New Jersey,
the Senate would stand-Rcpubli-
cans, thuy-eight; Democrats, thity-six 1;
and Virginia independents, two. This
would compel tie if the Republicans
We're to heed the counsel of Republican
Bourbons who deprccate antl4Bourbon
coalitions in the South, We have no
hositation in calling attention 70 these
3arts, because the Republican party is not
B0lpg to devote itself to preserving Bour-
bon uuity. On the contrary,it will ell
rourage rcvolts everywhere in the Bour-
bon party, and shake hands with all hon
est rebels against that organization. a.

wealth in the guano beds, which are pub

so long since ceased to pay interest on
her debt that her bonds are quoted at
about fourteen cents on the dollar. Her
war with Chill has deprived her of all

was in strict accord with the tacit under
