The next House viii consist OF 332
members. as the Dispatch has already
stated. The Washington correspondent
OF the New York Herald says we will
have at the least majority OF eighteen.
The Philadelphia Press, Republican
organ, almost gives up the fight The
correspondent of the radical Cincinnati
commercial gazette thinks the Demo
Gratis Will have the House by q majority
Of three. The Republican Congressional
Committee, always audacious IN their
claims, allege that they will have ma
jority OF seven, but they give out no
| figures which will foot up any such re-
suit
We not only EXPECT that the House will
be Democratic, but that it will be Demo
cratic by rousing majority. "Ihe
tariff talks" in largely-increased prices
for nearly all the necessities and COM
forts of life. and people who are deaf to
appeals and arguments concerning
I REEDS tyranny and the waste OF money
for undoseryed pensions, and who may
be Indifferent to the atrocious character
of the force bill, are easily incensed at
the thought that while their own income
is not enlarged they must pay more Tor
all they have to buy.
Such gre some OF the aspects OF the
busy field upon which will be fought the
great fight Of Tuesday. II we win we will
nut a check to the mad career of the
majority party and save the South from
much humiliation and outrage. Ii we
lose We shall be at the mercy OF men
/ Ike HARRISON, REED. and SHERMAN.
We know that the people of Virginia
will do their duty. They will not DO be-
/ guiled by any "protection" plea Wa
need protection for our people as well as
for our minerals and manufactures, and
the Democrats will give US exactly what
we want.
Never have we doubted what will he
the voice of Virginia since Dir. REED
began to push out southern members
Fellow-citizens, wake early on Tues
dav and 90 to the polls. You who have
great stake in the community. do
not allow yourselves to be outdone in IN
terest, in your country's welfare by a
gang Of negroes who know nothing OF
our history and traditions and care no
thing for our aims and aspirations.
Every Democrat should be sentinel
on the watch-tower on Tuesday. In this
position lie will be ready to do any duty
| that may be asked of him and be pre-
pared to encourage, guide, and assist
his brethren,
Make it a Republican rout
