will the Next Congress be Democratic.

A Washington dispatch says: Very favorable reports are being received each day from all parts of the country with re- gard to the progress of the campaign by the democratic congressional committee, and the democratic managers are count ing upon securing the next house by not 1aSc than -HRHaA.a--->--:---.l---F From, tha %est ttti tie reports gre egcouFaE9s F. elle gain of not less than seven is expected in Ohio and one or two in Missouri, and it Is hoped that Indiana will hold her present delegation. California reports are said to be very encouraging. From New York an excellent feeling is reported. There will be no losses in the city of Brooklyn and there Is a strong belief that two interior districts will be redeemed. Gains are predicted in both Connecticut and Massachusetts. "Parson" Mckinney of New Hampshire is confident of his election. In Maryland, Rayner and Comp ton, 1t is said, have certainty, and MT. McComas' district is considered doubtful. In Virginia 1t IS expected certainly to carry all the districts except the second and fourth, beating Brown in the Acco- mac district, and possibly the second, ow- ing to republican split. George Wise IS considered safe in the Richmond dis
 
 heated up and the prospects are good. The republicans carried three districts in 1888. The second and fifth, which had republican majorities of less than 700 in 1888, are regarded as certain. The ninth (Eswart's), which had less than 800 IS now regarded as sure. Things are somewhat mixed in South Carolina; but neverthe- less it is expected to elect democrats in every district. A gain of one is expect ed in Tennessee, in the third district. Florida, Alabama, Georgia, Mississippi, and Texas are expected to send the same number of democratic congressman as ! they did to the fifty-first. The republi- cans are talking of beating Grain of Tex | as. and possibly of carrying the first dis | trict.
 Senator Faulkner said to day with re- i gard to the outlook in West Virginia; There is not much to tell as yet. The recent exposure of the republican scheme to colonize the state with voters is not go- ing to improve the republican chances oi a victory this fau. West Virginia is [ close, a very close state. Less than 200 votes would cover the actual majorities of all three of the congressman elected i'll 1888. 1 think we shall do better than that this year, and hope we may carry all three districts. But it IS going to be very hard fight, with plenty of money on their side and very little on ours."
 Strange as it may seem to you, Con gressmen Geo. W. B. Dorsey, of the thirC Nebraska district is in serious danger o1 defeat,' said Nebraska republican to day. Ut seems hard to believe, doesn' it, that man who had plurality of ove 1000 votes and clear majority of owe 5000 votes two years ago should b' threatened with defeat now? It IS trut nevertheless. Thousands of republican, will repudiate Dorsey this time, for h, never should have been nominated, anC he was forced upon us. There are tw' men running against him now-W H Thompson, nominated by the democrats and O. M. Rem, nominated by the ali ance men. Rem will draw his votes main ly from Dorsey and he will probably ge 10000 of them. So if Thompson come anywhere near holding his own, Dorse, f will be at the bottom of the poll. o course the situation may be changed by election day, but that Is about tn way it stood when 1 heard from Omah under date of Wednesday last"
