the NEXT CONGRESS.

Hon. Abram S. Hewitt, ex.membe,
OF Congress and present Mayor O!
New York, ha. just written letter in
which he admits that the next House
OF Representatives will have a Re-
publican majority. After giving bis
reasons for declining a nomination for
President from the American party,
he says:
The only possible effect of its
running q candidate now would be to
throw the election Of a President into
the House of Representatives, which
practically would elect the Republican
ticket. / an a Democrat. aud not in
favor Of turning this government over
to the Republican party.
Coming from such eminent
authority the opinion should be con-
elusive. especially as it comedies with
the bulk Of public opinion in the
United States. The party platforms
have insured the return of a Republi.
can Protectionist ma jority to the next
House OF Representatives. The only
question which remains to be settled
by the campaign is as to who shall
occupy the Presidential chair. This,
unless the country proves false to
herself, will be decided long before
the November election. Nay, it is
practically settled already; and the
only question is as to the size of the
Protection majority.

VICTORY ASSURED.

The Republican and Anti. Nor
mon party of Idaho never had q
better chance of securing representa-.
ton in Congress than it has this year.
The Mormons have evidently deter.
mined to vote, and they will Of course
support the Democratic nominee,
who will get his certificate from the
Democratic Board Of Territorial
officials whose duty it is to issue such
certificates. When he goes to Wash
ington the Republican nominee, who
will certainly have received q fair
majority Of all the legal votes cast,
will contest his seat. He will prove
that but for the $500 or 5000 Mormon
votes the Republican candidate
would have a majority of 1900 to rs.
90. The House will be Republican
- the Senate is, because only six
votes are required to change its com.
plexion and the country is opposed to
Free Trade. The Republican ma
jority will be compelled to stand BY
Its platform which places Mormon
aud other traitors beyond the pale of
law; aud the contestant will be given
his seat.
The Republicans of Idaho have
therefore positive assurance of
victory, this year. They should there
fore DO careful to put their very
strongest man in nomin alton.
