THE POLITICAL FUTURE.

Already may be seen the preparations
making for the coming fall elections. In
the East. the rsdistrictins Of States and
the new spportiOnmsnt bill promise to
mako some radical changes. and a lively
struggle for the mastery will no doubt
be witnessed. The Republican success
throughout the country OF the last cleo
ton was pretty general and extremely
gratifying; but the rsdistricting Of some
Of the principal States where the RsPub-
Iicsp majority was not sufficiently large

managers to DO alive to the situation.
and no. permit the evsr-wstchful Demo.
Gratis to seize an advantage that may BY
proper care be prevented. The coming
election. though an "off-yesr." very
likely will. through the redistricting OF
States, become the key 10 the next ns-
tionai election. as the Democrats will no
doubt make unusual exsrtions to carry
districts where Republicans have hereto
fore held the mastery. by the division Of
such districts and the possible addition
OF portions Of districts more Democratic.

have been permitted avoics in the man

any attention has been psid. that Il 10

Of Republicans will prevent 1t. 1t is
unfortunate for the Democratic party.

and were such an election to bs held the
coming fall they might. they think. have
NO difficulty in sending men Of their own

Ieigns OF government, and permit the
ninety thousand tired Republican office
holders to obtain mueh-nseded rest.
1t Ia yet early for political action. but
II is we'll for the Republican party TO DO
prepared for 1t when the struggle shall
come. and for the people to inform
themselves as to the merits Of the OPP
posing political parties. thatthsy may BY
their votes approve the course OF the
most worthy. and be able ito do so un.
d.rstsndingly. The record OF the Re-
publican party speaks for itself. II is
shown conclusivsly to be q party Of pro-
gress. and the party Of the people. whose
interests are carefully guarded. and
where such interests require legislation
delays are not INDUCED in, but relief
promptly afforded. The present discOrd
among some OF its leaders. which Demo-
Gratis seem to find so appalling. is but
natural under the circumstances which
were its cause; but either faction has
the interest Of the party and the nation

to interfere with Republican success.
and the jealousy which may exist will DO

In our own State. the Central Com.
mittes will soon meet and the prslimi-
nary work OF tho campaign no doubt
laid out. Nevada is properly Republic
can. and by energy and a %judicious Sc
lection Of candidates she NO doubt will
return to the ranks. II should be the
aim Of the party TO be careful that in
making their selections to gil the official
vacancies men OF undoubted integrity
and ability are chosen. to insure COM
plste success.
