THE TEYT CONGRESS.

The feeling of utter disgust with the Demo
cratic party and popular discomfort win the
experiment of government under It's control IL
so general that the remark Is commonly mace Dy
casual observers Of both parties that there can
be no hope Of the Democrats obtaining ma
iority in the next Congress. There is preva-
lent feeling that the people will rise next lall
and keep Democratic candidates ont OF once
with quite as muCh unanimty as they put them
in two years before under the persuasion ol
dclusivc promises.
This is 4 notion TO be guarded against. Wide
spread popular Indignation at Democracy does
not necessarily mean Democratic defeat Inc
uower of the Administration and OF the corrupt
machines in the different States will be com
bincd in an effort 10 secure control or the next
Uousc of Representatives Only by earnest ana
continued work can the Republicans wrest from
their grasp enough districts TO reverse the pres
ont nolitical complexion Of that body and stop
unwisc legislation This caution may seem un'
ncccssary and at first blush it must be CON
fcsscd that the general confidence In a sweep
ing Rcpublican victory is well founded; but, as
Is pontcd out in our Washington letter to-day,
tho Democrats have many advantages III the
contest not properly belonging to them by rea-
son of patriotic policy or wise administration.
Tho Democrats start with 100 districts which
it is utterly useless for the Republicans 10 CON
fest. Their ballots will not be counted If they
cast a majority vote. The South will give GER
,ificatcs to those 100 Democrats without fail.
They need only 80 votes more to give them
working majority. Ten Northern States have
recently been gerrymandcrcd by Democratic
Legislatures so as tc give that party repre-
sentation in Congress entirely out Of proper
ton to its standing in those States. The drag
net for contributions has been thrown out while
the Wilson bill, threatening the destruction OF
manufactures has been under consideration;
and vast sums have been obtained or promised
by men interested in menaccd industries in re-
turn for consideration in the preparation Of
the schedules
Thus by Wholesale DISTINGUISHING OF Rcpub-
lican voters, by unfair apportionments and by
large campaign funds the Democrats hope TO
remain in power, and they have n tremendous
advantage in the struggle, which no ordinary
turn OF popular feeling will Offset. Their situ-
alton Is desperate and they have every in
centive TO seek victory by fair means or foul
Almost dcspairing Of elccting a President by
the Electoral College in 1885, some Of the lead
ers are already beginning TO plan combinations
with Populsts in the hope Of throwing the cleo
ton into the House Of Representatives. The
success Of that scheme requires a victory next
fall. and no efforts will be spared to achieve It,
The duty Of Republicans is plain. Overconn-
dence must be guarded against; every district
