WASHINGTON. Nov. 12.-Nearly all Of thu
prominent men on the republican side Of
the house will fail to respond when the roll
is called in the Fifty second congress
while on the other hand the democrats
have sent back, with but few exceptions
their leading men. Reed. Burrows, Ding
ley, Henderson, of Iowa; Henderson, of Ill
inois; Lodge, Ezra B. Taylor, of Ohio. and
Harmer and O'Neili, of Pennsylvania, arr
about all the well-known men that the re-
publicans will have left. Here are some Of
their men who had prominent committee
places that have been either beaten at the
polls or who failed to secure denomination
from various causes:
Mckinley, chairman OF ways and means
committee, and Bayne Lafollette and Gear.
of that COMMITTEES.
Cannon, chairman of appropriations,
and Butterworth, McComas, Peters, Nor
row and Brewer, members of the commit
tee.
howell, chairman of elections, Cooper of
Ohio, Lacey, Greenhalge and Comstock,
members of the committee.
Caswell. Adams. Thompson, Sherman and
Reed, of Iowa. members of the judiciary
committee.

and currency.
Baker, chairman Of the commerce COM
mittee. and Mason. Anderson of Kansas,
Wickham and Browne, of Virginia, mem
beers of that committee.
Conger and Carter, of the coinage COM
nittee.
The list might be extended at length, but
this is enough to show that the people have
cleared out the republicans in fine style, de-
feating the prominent ones as we'll as the
obscure ones. Perkins, of Kansas, one OF
their strong debaters, has been buried in
an avalanche. Among the democrats prom
inent on the leading committees who have
been reelected are the following:
Crisp, VFerrall, Cultivate, Moore Tex
as) and Wilson (Missouri) committee on
elections.

The republicans are SO demoralized and
dazed over their crushing defeat that many
have privately admitted that they never az
poet to see their party win another national
victory. The great lead that the democrats
now have cannot be taken from them in
1872, and 80 unpopular is the high tariff
policy OF the party that the Mckinley Law
muet 40 10 the wall. ana the republicans
will never get over their defeat. The win
ing out has been so complete that it IL
doubtful if any republican in the present.
Congress will have the nerve to urge the
taking up Of the infamous force bill. If
the republicans should insist on pressing
this measure it ia believed here that the
democrats can prevent action. The repub
licans are obliged to admit that, next to the
tariff, the force bill was responsible for
their crushing defeat.
Some of the republican, are charging
that Quay spent all the campail n money in
Pennsylvania. and that very little Of the
slush fund put up could be obtained in the
congressional districts. II they had had
more stuff. they allege that at least twenty
OF the congressional districts could have
been saved. They also charge that McKin-
ley was denied help that had been assured
him, and that if Quay had sent out to that
district what he promised, Mckinley could
have been elected. The republicans are
the maddest and most chop-fallen Get Of
fellows imaginable, and about the only con-
ISOLATION left them ip the reflection that the
big democratic cyclone has effectually dis
posed Of Harrison a. presidential can
didate in 1892.
