The Republican Congressional Committee de-
sires to say word or Two to the people, and
more especially TO those who believe generally
in Republican principles, concerning the elections
for members OF the Fifty second Congress, which
will occur EeXt Tuesday. This has been an ex-
traordinary campaign. When 1t began the
Democratic leaders were 0verfiowng with
confidence. They boasted that their ma
jority would be at least one hundred.
This confidence did not rest on altogether
fiimsy grounds. There were twenty-six districts
In the South in which The Republican party had
a clean majority of from 1000 10 10000, but
over the electoral machinery OF which the De-
mocracy held absolute control. From each oil
these districts the Democratic managers ex-
pected to return Democratic Congressman by

sHABP PRACTICES.
Recent gerrymanders In Ohio, Kentucky.
Tennessee, Maryland and Indiana were relied
upon as a second source OF Illicit gain. In these
States the boundary lines Of nineteen distrlct,

the South; II VIII mean that he approves party
whose representatives attempt to exercise, by
absen:iug themselves from tieir seats and by re-
