so large that nothing but extreme apathy
or culpable quarreling or bad nominations
can now reduce them, or at most, put
the districts to hazard Spriggs, dem
ocrat, carried Oneida and Lewis by a
plurality of s37. and the republicans now
seem to look for success on a field which
has been fruitful of factonal fights in
both parties for many a year. On the
other hand, the republicans will doubtless
bear in mind that they beat Dan Lock
wood in the Buffalo district BIZ the mea>
gre plurality of 1877 votes. Can the re
publicans reasonably expect to gain even
one member in this state? Is not the
prospect darker for them in New JerseyE
So far from sustaining losses there. the
democrats are proposing to carry one of
the present republican district. The
Pennsylvania delegation consists of
twenty republicans and eight democrats.
The republicans hold three of the districts
by majorities that can be shattered by
good democratic candidates, and there is
more probability that the republicans will
lose rather than gain in this years con
tests.
Unless the democrats make great
blunders there appears TO be little chance
for the republicans gaining more than two
or three members of congress north of
the Potomac river on the Atlantic slope.
Whence, then. will come the needed
twenty-five?

The Next Congress.

FROM the New OK sun
The elections which will determine the
political character of the Fiftlcth congress
and perhaps forecast the result of the
next presidential contest, are close at
hand. What is likely to be the out come
of this falls campaign?
The republican majority in the present
senate is six. The loss of three seats by
that party in the pending struggles would
tic the senate, giving the republicans 80
members and the democrats IS. The
loss of four republican seats would place
the democrats il majority of two in the
next senate. unless the republicans cap
ture some Of the democratic seats. Where
in this portion of the country. can the
democrats reasonably hope to make gains?
Edmunds and Hale are landed in the sens
ate for another term, but Hawley, OF
Connecticut. Miller, of New York, and
SeweIl, of New jersey, are yet to pass
through the breakers. Will they, or
some republican substitutes, safely reach
the shore. There is a fair fighting
chance for the democrats in each state,
with bright prospect for winning in
New Jersey The republicans will make
desperate exertions 10 save these three
seats, for if they slip from them the
party may find itself in :. minority in
both branches Of the Fiftieth congress.
The democrats of the three states owe it to
their political associates elsewhere to
nominate able and popular candidates for
the legislature. In this emergency weak
men, with feeble claims to consideration,
should stand out of the way.
In 1884 the democrats elected a ma or
itv of 43 to the present house. To over,
come this in the next congress the repub.
licans must gain - members in this falls
campaign They will fluid this difficult
feat TO accomplish. However, greater
changes than this have occurred since the
republican party was founded. In each
such instance the coming storm was more
clearly indicated by premonitory warn
Ings than any that now appear in the
political sky Where in this region do
the republicans propose to begin to make
the twenty-five gains? New England
sends four democrats to the present
hOuse--twO from Massachusetts and two
from Connecticut. lowering and Lynn,
democrat and greenbacker. defeated
Lodge, republican, by plurality of only
2G5; and the republicans boast that they
will now capture that seat. Seymore,
democrat, was chosen in she western dis
trist of Connecticut by plurality of only
1872 The republicans talk of beating
their opponents there this year. But
they should not forget that they carried
the Hartford district in 1884, by plur
nlity of barely 304, and may lose it in
November.
The prospect of republican gains in
New England, therefore, is not brilliant

Higgins Disclosures.

Considering the moderate salary he reN
ceives. there is no government official
so well Known as Col Higgins, the ap>
pointment clerk of the treasury as well as
the terror of the mugwumps. Almost
everything he says finds wide circulation.
The Washington Critic day or two ago
printed the following very interesting
disclosures made by Col Higgins to one
OF the representatives of that paper:
Tell the Civil-service commissioner"
said Appointment Clerk Higgins today,
that don't care if they make me wait
until Christmas for batch of appoints
ments. This was in reply to telephone
message that, BY au oversight, the com,
missioner could not make certain seec-
tons before next Monday While in this
humor, the Critic representative intcr>
viewed the appointment clerk, from whom
it was ascertained that he had been very
carefully scrutinizing the list of employees
with a view to recommending a number
of discharges.
Here is a most fragrant case that came
under my notice today" continued Mr..
Higgins, showing how patronage is
abused. An 81 800 clerk in the treasury
turns ont to be retired naval officer,
drawing $40 a month in addition to a
pension of S12, and | think he would
never be missed if his place should be
taken away from him and given to more
worthy man. Another case is that of
chief of bureau who draws $500 him
self and has sons and relatives in office
who bring the total receipts from the
government offices they hold. up to So
$50. Then, too, have discovered cases
where husband and wife are borne on the
rolls. the woman under her maiden name,
both living together under the same roof.
Since it has been asCertained that | was
engaged in investigating such cases 1t has
been cOmiCal to see the aversion suspected
couples have for each others society.
All these matters will be brought to the
attention of the secretary and it would
not surprise me in the least if an order
was shortly issued vigorously enforcing
the regulation prohibiting the employ
ment of two of family in the depart
