TOM WATsON's FIGHT.
interest In Georgia centers in the FIGHT
between the strsighout democrat, J. c. C.
Black, and the doughty Tom Watson, who
90 openly fOuted the present House last
summer and wrote books about the personal
habits OF the members. He had good ma
jority last time, but be has since antag-
onized 8 strong democratic element
in his own party and his dis
trict hss since been carried by the
democratic ticket against his best efforts
On the other hand, be is now backed by the
republicans as well as the third party, and
50 there is a chance that the Georgia delega-
ton viii not be soldly democratic IN the
next House.
The republicans have a sure thing. they
believe, in Idaho, aud expect to re-e.ect Mr..
Sweet, their single representative, without
much struggle

NO CHANGE IN MISSISSIPPI.
No change is likely in Mississippi, where
the only contest is in the Seventh district
where Gen. Hooker, the present representa-
tive, Is having red-hot fight with Mr.
Robinson, third party man, who In this

Is far from safe of reelection.
There is an inter eSting fight in New
Hampshire III the First district, where ex-
Senator Blair is running as the repU blica
candidate against Charles Stone, democrat,
with many dlsJractlng side issues and some
dlsafection in his own party. The third
party has named candidates in both dis
tricts, but will not cut much of a figure
MAY LOSE A MAN IN NEW JERSEY.
OpUinO RI ba vary ra0apt daath of
Mcdonald, the democratic nominee in the
Seventh New Jersey district, there is a
strong probability of the return and conse-
Quently gain of a republican congressman
from that state, as it is felt to be too late to
make an other nomination at this late hour
1t is not probable that the delegation
from New York will show much change,
although there are two new members to be
elected, owing to the reapportionment.
In North Carolina the third party has
candidate in every district and is better
supplied with means and better organized
than in any other southern state. 1t is en-
tirety possible for them to carry three or
perhaps four districts
North Dakota has but one representative
and his politics will be determined by the
outcome of the presidential contest.
OHIO'S GERRYMANDER.
Ohio now has but six republicans to
fifteen democrats but the state has been
hCNAoli AOGSu Will tu6 purpose anu 96peCba-
ton OF making 1t stand sixteen republicans
% five democrats. The democratic districts
are concededly the Third, Fourth, Twelfth,
Thirteenth and Seventeenth. The demo-
Gratis, however. are making big fight to
carry three more and return Messrs Harter.
Pierson and johnson, There is a vacancy
caused by Mr.. Warwicks death in the old
Mckinley district. but it will probably be
filed by democrat
Oregon has already elected both her con-
gressmen, and they are republicans.
SPIRITED STRUGGLES IN PENNSYLVANIA.
In Pennsylvania there are spirited strug-
giles n the Sixth, Mr.. Hallowelps, and the
Eleventh, MIR. Ammermans district In
the Twenty-fourth district, where Home
stead is located, an independent candidate
has been nominated which jeopardizes the
republican chances to some degree The
late strike has been made an issue in this
district
Little Rhody is very doubtful in com
plexion. The two democrats now in CON
Rress have been reuominated but the whole
state has been stirred this year by the ma
uonal struggle and the euJre vote will be
cast, which Is usually in favor of the re-
