WASHINGTON, Sept.s28, 1894.
AtSeyery roundup of the informa-s
tion5 eceived by Chairman Babcock, {, Of
the Republican Congressional Cam
paign committee, the Indications
point to q larger Republican majority
in the next house. According, to the
latest figures made by Chairman Bah
cock the next house will. be composed
of 200 Republican 147 Democrats and 8
Populists, and,28 81. the State delega-
lions will be controlled BY Repu BIZ,
cans. These figures are considered by
those who are familiar with the In
format alton upon which they are based
to be very conservative, only those
districts being put down in the Re-
publican column which appear to be
reasonably certain to go Republican
For instance, the Republicans only
claim II mem bers from Illinois, where
many well-informed persons believe
they will elect a larger number, and
where the Dem mocratic committee, in.
a published estimate, comedies the
election Of 13 Republicans. It's just
the same with New York. Mr.. Bah.
cock only claims 19, while New York
ers who come to Washington say that
at least %, and possibly "a Republi-
cans will be sent to the next house.
Conside able amuseme ent was caused
in Washington by the attempt Of
Democrats to appear surprised at
Senator Hills nomina tion for. gov,
ernor Of New York by the Democratic
convention, when they. knew perfect
II well that the whole program was
cut and dried from the day that Hill.
and Murphy compelled Flower to
withdraw as. a candidate. Hill. has
recognized for some time. that this
campaign was a life and death strug-.
gle with him, with the chances in.
5favor.of death. But he concluded
says one Of his close friends, 9sthat he
preferred making the run for governor
himself and taking the chances Of be-
Ing supported BY the Cleveland forces,
to allowing Cleveland man to be
nominated and then be held RESPONSE.
BILE for his defeat by Democrats out
side Of New Y York. He fully realizes
the desperate condition the Demo
cratic party Of New York is in. but
does not believe that it will hurt him
politically to be defeated, while he
knows that it would make him the
biggest man in the Democratic party
should he by some hook or crook sue
ceed in being elected governor"
Lockwood was put on the ticket to
catch the Cleveland followers, but if
those in New York are not easier to
be aught than those in Washington
the catch will be small. Mr.. C1eve-
land has before now proven himself
to be no better than the average man
when it comes to dealing with his
personal enemies, and he would have
to be very much better if he really
wished to see Dave Hill elected gov
ernor Of New York at this time. The
belief that Levi P. Morton will be. the
next governor of New York has
grown stronger, If possible, since Hill
was nominated by the Democrats,
and it isn't confined to Republicans,
either.
By its notice that the Reciprocity
treaty with the United States would
cease to be operative on January 1,
1895, Brazil puts on record it's disap-
proval Of the idea of abrogating trea-
ties, regardless Of their stipulation, by
act Of congress. II was provided I in
this treaty that it might be abrogated
by either government, provided mo-.
tice to that effect were served upon.
the other three months prior to the
first OF January or the first of July of.
any year. Notwit ithstand ling that, the
Democrats In Congress BY a provision
in the tariff bill abrogated all rect-
procity treaties except that with Ha-
waii, without an hours notice. It
was rather a clever bit Of diplomacy
on the part Of Brazil to decline taking.
any official notice OF the abrogation
ofsthe treaty by congress and instead
to give notice Of its own intention to.
abrogate it in accordance with its
terms, although to do it, American.
goods shipped to Brazil will have to be
adm1t tied under the recip ocity treaty
until January 1, 1891, while Brazilian
shipments to the United States have
been deprived Of reciprocity adYant-
ages since August %. last.
