PROSPECTS no n THE YEAR.

Il
utmost interest and importance TO the /,
liemocrrtic party says, the National
Democrat. II brin Is to the party the ,
10 receiver possession Of
the popular branch of Congress aud OF
itself in the unpopular
branch, as. Speake Reed once face
tiously STYLED the SENATE.
As ex President Eleyel. nd said hap
PLY, eve are the pa r,y Of the people
they cannot take u at from us," aud
as the House Of Representatives comes
nearer 10 represent ag the sentiments
of the people than any other branch /
Of the Government does or can, the |
Democratic chance in the House are
better than they ara anywhere else
Besides this, the political cycle CON /
tains promise OF q Democratic Fic-
tory by large ma Iority. The politi
cal orbit Of the lilo use appears TO be
eight wears Of which six are fat Demo
cratic years and twp are lean Republi-
can years thrown III apparently for no
other purpose than To let the country
see how mach bett er eff il is under
the party Of the 4 iasses than under
the party Of the ell sses. The Demo
cratic party elected large majority OF
the members OF tile House in 1874,
aud retained the control OF the House
in 1876 and 1878. The Republicans
got possession in 1850, but IT was eyi
IDENTITY by inadvertC nee on the part OF
the people, for at be very first cleo
ton thereafter INV people elected a
large Democratic majority and the
Democrats retained the control OF the
House in 1884 and 1856. Again the
eight.year period was completed by
the election Of a Republican majority.
This will serve useful purpose; it
will show the people how absurd IL
was not 10 elect Democratic major
iiy and next Ncven lher they will re-
peat 1874 and 1882 and elect "A House
with Democratic majority OF 10
or so.
But while the control oil the next
House Of Representatives by the Dem.
ocratic party is as well assured as any
event in the future can be, there Is a
good prospect Of Democratic suprem-
acy in the Senate at an early day.
There is strong reaa on 10 hope for the
election Of Democratic Legislature
in Illinois il win ba good while be-
fore Ohio elects Al bother Republican
senator; Rhode Island would elect
only Democratic senators il there
were fair apportid nment, and under
the hberalized election laws may do il
even under the pres ent system OF Civ.
ing the country districts entire control
over the State. W. count on nothing
from Connecticut for several years,
for it will take a long time to
uprout a pcrnicio Us apportionmeni
system in that State, which gives the
small farming towns the power OF out
voting the larger population OF tbs
cities. Nor do We cunt on anything
at present from Iowa, encouraging n
the election OF Democratic Governor
and the reduction pi the Republicans
majority in the Legislature is TO us
But Delaware will mot again make Tia,
blunder OF last year. General Harm
son has made India na reliably Demo
cratic for years to come, the fact tina
the Democrats a few weeks agi
eletsd two-thirds N the members o
the drainage comm ission in the Re
publican end 81 Illinois shows hoy
much reason there i TO look for larg
gains in that State where almost tn
whole southern portion ~ sirongl,
Democratic. Iowa will be afraid Tor
iJng time TO do anything 10 help Re
publicans in other States, I'm fact, mex
fall and in lSae low . will be clamrini
for assistance from he national com
m.ttee on the grou nd that she Is
doubtful State. Ihere will be =
many doubtful Sta Ies presently tina
the Republicans will find il impossihl
to.eoncentrata all their means in Ne,
York an Indiana.
The Republican party in all branche
OF the Government Is now sowing th
seeds Of DemocraI ic victories. TIL
President had little popularity whei
lac WAS inaugurated lac has none now
and the longer he remains ~ otiic
the more enemies M viii have. Til
next House 81 Representatives wi
Investigate the ma nagement oil til

most discralitable record Of exccu

years ago when gee e hung "altitudi
