WASHINGTON, November 3.-Reports O
an encouraging nature continue 10 arriyea
Republican headquarters, and high lid,
Of confidence in the result OF next Tues
day'scontest seems to be sweeping acros,
the country. The only danger which the
managers feared ten days ago has beer
overcome, and there seems to be no longer
my reason to apprehenl loss Ia Repub
lican States and districts through an,
considerable neglect to vote on the
part Of Republicans. The intervening
days between now und election will be de.
voted to putting on the finishing touches
here and there, aud keeping up the prcsen,
tension OF public feeling. 1t will be l,o.
work from this ont, and the prograu,u,e is
to wind up with grand climax, which
shall result in full vote next Tuesday. A
large furce Of clerks is kept at work a,
headquarters answering letters and tele,
grams received from all parts OF the United
States. Secretary Henderson is ut his desk
from morning until midnight und every
hour feels the pulse beat OF the country,
He has everything in ss,ape 10 suit him,
and his energies arc bent to prevent ii re.
taxation at any point OF the line before the
day Of the battle. lIeis confident Of tho re.
suit and calm in the certainty Of n sweep,

not materially different from that lie re.
ceivcd in 1850. In General. Browns dis.
trict there Is practically no contest.
The New Hampshire difficulty seems to
be rapidly tading out OF sight, and the Re-
publican managers promise the regular
though not large majorit!cs by which the
State is always carried.
It is reported from Illinois that the pros.
poets are for delegation in the next
House composed Of about the same pro.
portion OF Republicans and Democrats as
ut present. The chief contests against Re.
publicans seem to be in Davis, Marsl,'s,
and Thomas districts. The Bloomington
district Which WIS considered three weeks
ago 10 be jcopardized, is now reported safe,
while affairs have taken such u shape in
Colonel Davis district in Chicago ifat the
opposition is not considered Of sufficient
significance to merit attention any further
than such rs it will receive at home. Gen.
Marsh il reported to lie on safe ground,
and while things are mixed ,,s usual in the
Twentieth district, it is estimated that
Thomas majority, in the district will be
above 1000. ~ = . ~ q i.',s;;'%
Solid Republican delegations are assured
from Iowa, Minnesota and Michigan. 1t
is reported that Senator Van Wyck's &C.
centric opposition to Congressman ..Valen.
tine has resulted in nothing but thin yapor-
iugs, and that Nebraska will roll tip II big
majority for the regular, ticket. ,r. :
In kansas there is no trouble, the actual
contest being with reference 10 State mat.

contests.
Word is Just received from Florida that
Bisbee's minority in tie first district will
be SO large that the Governor will finally
be compelled to give him certificate. Of
election.
The Democratic committee is still in u
moribund condition, and has apparently
quit receiving general reports OF the pro.
gress Of the canvass throughout the coun.
try. Little Paul Thompson, Of Kentucky,
nominally occupies desk as acting secre.
tary, but, in fact, spends almost his entire
time in his own district, which he thinks
is not so secure us 10 make It sale for him
to bo long absent beyond its boundaries,
The committee, over whose officers there
was so much pulling and hauling, and so
much bad feeling last winter, has apparent.
ly died from inaninon. It makes little
differences who is chairman, and Mr.. Flow.
