Republican Chairman Predicts
Victory for His Party.
Sure Republicans Will Have a
Majority in Next House.
BALANCE OF POWER.
The POpulists VIII Hold It in
the Senate

NEW York. Nov. 5.-Joseph II.
Manley, chairman Of the Republican
national executive committee. gave
out an interview at the Fifth Avenue
hotel yesterday. In it he say that
wherever an election has occurred
during the last i've months. whether
ia Oregon, Id Vermont and Alabama,
in Maine. Georgia or in Connecticut,
the result has been the same That
Is the rift and trend=aI1 from the
Democratic and to the Republican
party the cause. he says, is to
be found in the dissatisfactio Of the
people with the present Democratic
administration.
After setting forth several acts Of
the Democratic party, which, in his
opinion have tended to produce this
dissatisfaction, Mr.. Marley continues:
1T is no prophesy to assert that the
Republicans viii carry the majority
Of the congressional delegates in
twenty six states out of the forty
four, nd thus have q clear majority
OF the states in the next house Of
repre- sentatives which viii end all
efforts in the presidential election OF
'e6 of an attempt TO throw the cleo
tion Of president and vice presiden
into the house. 1t is ,reasOna bly, as
sured that the Republicans viii or
ganize the next house Of representa-
Eives. having a ma jDrity varying from
ten TO twenty i've All indications
point to the defeat Of Mr.. Springer of
Illinois; Holman, IN Indiana, and
Wilson, in West Virginia
The Democrats viii lose. after the
4th Of March next. their ascendancy
in the senate.
UNFORTUNATELY, for two years the
PopuIists will hold the balance of
power in the senate Their mum Der
will be increased to six Cover
nor Tillman Of South Carolina (his
election to the senate IS assured).
viii give them six me bers, and
there is every pro bility that the
Republicans will have forty-two sena-
tors and the Democrats forty after
the 4th Of next March.
Great as is the interest in the
election in every section Of the cOun-
try. New York is still the pivotal
state, and all eyes are turned on t.
and. after all, it is the most import
ant in its results Of any election that
villa occur on Tuesday.
What is to be the result in New
York;" is the inquiry from every
quarter From careful survey of
the situation, ia king into considera-
tion all the different elements and
forces at work, it does not seem
among tho posi- bilities to defeat Mr..
Morton 1t must be remem bered that
in the past twenty years the Demo
cratic party has never carried an
election IN New York by a majority
greater than so 600, nor has any par
ty for that matter, with the single
exception Of Cleveland for governor
over FOlger and the defeat of May
nard last year, but these were phe-
nOmenal elections; in the one case re-
sulting from q refusal of 200 600 Re-
publicans to indorse its party's action.
and IN the other from nearly 100. 600
Democrats cOndemniD4 the conduct Of
its own party The disaffection OF
the Wheeler Democrats alone will be
sufficient to cause Mr.. Hills defeat
Mr.. Manley claims that the late
business depression viii have its eff
feet and turn votes into Tito the Re-
publican column He also asserts
that the fight against Tammany IN
this city and state viii have its effect.
The revolution against Tamlnany,''
said he, will not stop with simply
voting the municipal reform lCet.
The people who arc determined to
overthrow Tammany know very well
that their efforts viii have been in
vain if they simply overthrow the
Tammany orraniz ton in the city
and permit the Tammany organize
ton to succeed in the state They
must make their work thorough and
successful; they must defeat Grant IN
the city and they must and viii de-
