attorney as an independent Republican Mr. King
will make no showing no wever on Tuesday unless
his name should appear on the Democratic ticket.
Looking over the State it is safe 70 predict rho
following result on the Republican side: Durham
in the Ist, Adams in the Ivth, ElwOod III the Vth.
Hill in the With, Henderson III the With, Cullen
in the With, PaysOn in the IXth. Marsh in
the XTth and Cannon IN the XVIII, are sure, and
probably Davis in the lid. Lewis in the Xth and
Royell in the XIVth Districts the Democratic
side Springer IN the XlIlth. MOultOn in the
XVIIth, Townsend in the XIXth, and Murphy in
the XXth are sure Finerty. Independent. in the
IId Singleton, Independent. in the XIIth, Shaw in
the XvIth, and Morrison in the XYIlIth, have the

Republicans are sure of nine Congressman and the
Democrats Of five in addition 20 Single on. As Fin
erty is anti-Machine il is safe for the Democrats

Mayors personal abuse of citizens. have disguised
the community and turned the tide in favor OF the
Republicans Before leaving politics 1t should be
added that the story recently telegraphed from here
TO New-YOrk of Presidential bargain between
Senator Logan and Mr.. Blaine is too absurd to be
even noticed here.
