The RepubIicnn Outlook.

l'icu. Horace Porter IN the Epoch.
As far as | can Judge, the accessions to
the ranks Of the Republican party are in
crcasing daily, and unless some great
change in political sentiment occurs between
now and November, have no doubt Of a
sweeping Republican victory at the polls
The Republicans are in no fear Of losing Il
single state which they carried four years
ago. Gcn. Harrisons personal popularity.
the tariff question, aud the sentiment pre-
vallrng in Indiana in favor Of electing a
president from that state which has never
yet had a president, will, without doubt,
carry Indiana. Connecticut is large
manufacturing state, and there is not much
apprehension that it will not be carried by
the Republicans this year. New Jersey
will 20 Republican unless the Pruhbitionists
draw too large II vote from the Republican
ranks, which is not likely. New York
while some time ago regarded rs IA doubtful
state, seems now to offer an encouraging
chance in favor Of the Republican party
For many years the Republicans in the state
have been waging n warfare of factions
which greatly reduced their strength now
the factions are thoroughly united and
there are no balky horses in the team. The
Democrats, ON the other hand, are badly
divided and must suffer from the democrat
iaati"n consequent upon such divisions.
The preservation Of American markets
for American products, and the advocacy
| Of fair wages for American workmen, are,
without the shadow of doubt, daily bring
| ing accessions to the Republican ranks. The
soldier element sympathizes almost entirely
with the principles Of the Republican party,
and AN overwhelming majority Of them will
vote for n soldier who shared with them the

The Dumroundcd Democrats.

4 homhshcll has been landed in the camp
of the free trade Democracy this week, and
their disconccItion and CONSERVATION are
something laughahlc to see. The statement
came from Washington ON Monday that
comparison of the estimated receipts and
expenses of the government for the coming
year would show that instead of a dan
gcrous" and threatening surplus at the
end of the year, the margin Of receipts
over expenditures would not be larger than
safe business, methods would dictate This
set the Democrats n thinking, and Mr. Mills,
Speaker Carlisle, and some Of the other
leaders went to figuring. They sweat rs
more they sweat but with the best they
could do they couldn't make the sum come
out any other way than as the Republicans
had stated it. Counting up the amount Of
all the appropriation bills, including the
enormous river and harbor hill Of over so,
OoO 600, and the extravagant OUTLAWS for
public buildings, total of Si2S, 269, $50
was found. The estimated income of the
| government amounts to SiiO, id3 000 This
indicates IA surplus Of only Sl2, 293, ii9-a
very moderate sum considering the magni-
tude Of the operations involved, while, if
the Mills hill should become a law, there
would be- u deficiency instead Of surplus.
! In other words. the Democrats have knock
ed the bottom out of their campaign by
| their own acts.
The situation is a comical one. The basis
ON which Mr. Cleveland started the free
trade campaign last December was the dec
| laraton in his message that there would be
a surplus of $40, 900, 600 on July of this
! year, and that the annual excess of reve-
| nues over expenditures would not run short
of 500 600 600 This was ''the condition, ~
and in order to rescue the country from the
fatal embarrassments of its own prosperi
| ty, he proposed revision of the tariff a,
the vicious, inequtable and illogical source
Of unnecessary taxation. The dreadful
surplus has been the preteXt for this entire
campaign against American industry. Ev
cry Democratic speaker in Congress, every
Democratic orator ON the stump, every
Democratic newspaper, has rung the chang
es ON "the surplus from to lizard. Mean
while the Democracy has been pilmg M
appropriations, until there is said to be al
year, and the annual surplus of 500, OOO, OOl
has dwindlcd to SIP 200. 600, with a gooC
chance for it To- be changed to a deficiency
