VIEWS OF THE vICR-PREsIDENrELEcT
NEW YORK, Nov 9.-Vice- Presidcnt-Elect
Morton was seen Wednesday at his country
home at Rhinebeek He did not think, he said,
it would be quite proper for HIM to talk
for publ cation, and with this gen
tie preface we went over the theory
strewn battle-ground together. He had
felt sangulne all through the campaign, and
he based mis- hopeful expectations upon the
harmony that prevailed IN the ranks OF his
own party throughout the country, and
next upon the principle OF protection,
which was the king-bea Of the Repub-
lican platform. The Republc cans were
un ted he says, ard n addition attracted
many votes-thOughtful men he called them,
who shrewdly considered their own material
advantage in the elect on before every
thing else The absence Of personalities
in the campaign he considered re-
markable. He thought that that was the be-

the Senate and have working maiorities in
both branches Of Congress.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 9.-Late Wednesday
afternoon Mr.. Edward Mcpherson said: "All
the Information Obta nable up TO this time
justifes me in expressing the opin on that the
next House will consist OF 173 Republicans and
152 Democrats. There is poss bility that the
Republican majority may be reduced by later
adv ces to 10 or 20, but have made liberal al
lOwances in my calculations for all Democrat c
claims"
Representative Breckinrdge, OF Kentucky, a
Democratic member OF the Ways and Means
Committee expresses the opinion that the Re-
publican majority in the next House will be
very slender, AID is confident that II can not
exceed 10 in any event Accord ng to his cal
cuiation the Republicans must show gan OF
10 Republ cans TO secure a majority and he
does not believe that they have much exceeded
that tgure.
