THE LOWER HOUSE OF CONGRESS.

1t is an important part of the Republican
campaign that the lower house of Congress
be wrested from Democratic control. The
late election in Oregon, in which a Repub-
Gcan majority of twelve on joint ballot was
secured in the State Legislature puts the
control of the Senate into the hands of the
Republican party, so that that much is set
tied. A determined effort must now be made
to overcome the strong Democratic majority
in the House. With national legislation
wholly in the hands of the Republican party
the country may confidently expect wholesome
enactments and such course of administra-
ton as will best conserve and encourage the
business interests of the country. 1t were
altogether safer to intrust the entire control
to the Republican party, to the end that it
might work untrammeled, and, while natur-
ally claiming all credit could reasonably be
held responsible for the success or non-suc-
cess of its stewardship. 1t is mistake to
elect one house of Congress of the opposition,
as kind of safety-valve or check upon
the other. Of certainty, there
can be no harmony of action and no unity of
then occupy place second to the business
of making partisan capital, by demagogical
obstruction of wise measures on the specious
plea of retrenchment and other objections
unworthy any honorable statesman. 1t would
be as reasonable for any corporation OF manu-
featuring company to put two heads in con-
troll of its affairs. They would, indeed serve
as a check upon each other; but, anwhile,
the almost inevitable deadlock would tell
heavily upon the receipts of the firm through
a progressive policy, the natural outcome
of divided councils
Since, then, there is so great incentive to
secure control of Congress, and since it is of
such vast importance to the country without
regard to party politics, the Republican party
everywhere should put up not only good but
popular men, who will draw the votes of the
people and secure election. The popular
ticket named at Chicago will make votes
among the masses for the remainder of the
State and congressional candidates nominated
by the party; but care should be exercised to
select congressional candidates who will have
additional influence so that the one may To-
cally strengthen the other, or at least not
weaken them, and each achieve that success
so much desired by the party and of vast
importance to the commercial and industrial
interests of the country. The danger threat
ened by the opposition, hostile to the genius
of American institutions, is so great that too
much importance cannot be attached to the
elections of this year, and no Republican should
fail to do his utmost in support of the party
and of the cause of the people.

vention, Mr.. George William Curtis said
1--WE are confronted with the Democratic
party, very hungry, and, as you may well be-
leve, very thirsty; party without a single
definite principle, party without any distinct
national policy which it dares present to the
country; party which fell from power as
conspiracy against human rights, and now at
tempts to sneak back to power as a conspiracy
for plumber and spoils.
1t was in his speech seconding the nomina-
ton of Mr.. Edmunds. Now, within two

THE Atlanta Constitution finds great com
fort in the fact that in 1861 John A. Logan
was Democrat, and as aDemocrat believed in
and advocated the most odious Democratic
measures against the negroes. The difference
between the Constitution and Gen Logan is
that the latter saw the error of his way, and, in
1861, abandoned the negotiating, slavery
loving Democracy, while the Constitution still
