AND DENOMINATIONS

hHD DENOMINATIONS
Albany, July 20 (specisl.-The state Of New-York
has sent to the present Congress nineteen Republicans
and fifteen Democrats. Thus the Republicans have a
majority In the delegation.
That majority obtained when Free Trade and
Protection were squarey at issue in New.Yors and
other states, during the Presidential contest q lss3
With the Mckinley Tariff bin as one OF the main issue,
OF the coming political campaign this fall, the same
issue Of Free Trade and Protection is again before
voters for their decision and the New York delegation
in 1890 will be chosen in 1o59 to represent one or
the other Of those political principles. New York
being the greatest manufacturing state in the Union
and having in it, metropolitan city manufactures
than arc to be found in any upon this coutInet.
it IS % 'be expected that It's Congressman will DO
selected largely with the thought Of what their actions
will be likely to be upon bill, before Congre, affecting
those manufactures.
From present appearances the Republican Con
gr ssional representation from New York Will be in.
creased, and the delegation Will consist in the next
Congress Of twenty Republicans aud only fourteen
Democrats. That viii be the verdict of A manufactur-
ing state upon the question OF Free Trade and IrO-
lection There are few doubtful Congressional Districts
in the State; that the computation can be- easily
made The Democrats believe that they carry tho
XVIII District now represented by the Hon. Moses
d. Stvers, Republican. who had only small majority
in 1855. Put they would do well To rec0lsct that
Democrat, Moses Beach whose personal
popularity brought him many votes. since Mr. Beachs
time the Democratic vote in the district has been grow
ng smaller. Last fall three Of the four Assembly men
from the district were Republicans
Another doubtful Con gressoual district in the ewes
Of Democrats is that now represented by the Hon.
John A. Quackenbush, the XVlIlth District composed
Of the counties Of Rensselaer, and Washington II j.
true that the Democrats elected state senator there
in 1850, but it plain that frauds committed
frauds that will be impossible under the Ballot Reform
and Registration laws passed by the last legislature
Moreover Mr.. Quackenbush had large majority in
1888
This completes the list Of districts that the Demo
Gratis nsider doubtful. on the other hand. 1t would
be strange indeed if the Republicans did not gain Gle
Congressman in Ncw-York City and break that solid
Democratic delegation. The Long Island Congressional
District, ordinarily Democratic, has become doubtful
one since the Ballot Reform and Registration laws viii
check the corruption and the fraudulent increase OF tie
Democratic vote in Long Island City. Nor VIII the
Republicans again surrender the Westchester Con
cre5siOna District without contest TO the Hon. Will
lam g.. Stahlnecker, the Democrat Who ha, 50 lo.S
mlsrcpresentcd IT, i-iere i, district that the
Democrats conccde the Republicans Will gain. Tbs
is the XXXIIId, represented By the lion. John
W. Wiley Democrat. IL is composed Of Niagara County
and the Republican portion Of Erie County, II is
Republican district, and was lost IN lcc5 solely be-
cause OF an unfortunate nomination and Republican
quarrel The Republican factiOnal differences have
since disappeared and with the good nomination that
will unquesonably be made the district will be car
ried. II the Republicans Of the district had known IN
l-S6 that their quarrel would reduce the Republican
majority In the House Of Representatives % such small
proportions they would have sunk this difference and
elected their candidate. Concediug that the Demo-
Gratis will carry all the districts now IN their posses
sion except the XXXIlld, and assuming That the Re-
publican, will hold all their present district, and -aln
the XXXIId then the result Of the election would DO
to divide the thirty four districts thus between the two
great political parties:
