der such circumstances we shall elect
a fair working majority of the house.
But if we fail to meet the expectation
of the people It will result in our de-
mobilization Such was the frank
opinion of the situation that Senator
Faulkner expressed TO me as ne sat at
his desk al headquarters.
Nv hat figure are the populists going
to cut in the result? Have they gained
strength since '92?'
My observation OF the matter has
been that the populists are not gaining
"a numbers in the states that they were
strong in 80, and that their strength
has not increased any in the other
states. The elections just passed are
an agreeable surprise in this respect.
1t is a question, even, whether they
have increased at all in Nebraska,
where they were supposed to be gain
ing rapidly"
What effect has the disturbance in
Chicago and elsewhere had upon the
socialist movement
81 do not believe that the labor
trouble IN the west has added TO the
strength of the socialistic movement
or that 1t has caused any acquisitions
to the ranks of populism. Anarch-
isms and doctrines or policies that
strike at society and rest for their
foundation on unbridled license are SO
un-American'and so foreign to the prin-
ciples inculcoted by our system OF gov
ernment that they cannot flourish on
American soil"

six states have but one representa-
tive each-Delaware North Dakota,
Idaho, Wyoming, Montana and Ne

THE same vote that elected Harri-
son gave three majority in the house,
but the same vote to-day would give
the democrats ten or twelve.
They gerrymandered New York,
Michigan, Illinois and Wisconsin. So
you see we might win by the popular
vote and still lose the house. From the
south the democrats have 121 repre-
sentatives to our 6, divided as follows:

emphatically said Mr.. Babcock, that
we can elect a majority OF the Fifty
fourth congress, bat we must bitterly
contest every inch of ground, for on
the result may depend the choice Of
the next president.
"One move the democrats may make:
They may iHdOrse pOpulists in enough
northern and western states to prevent
the republicans from securing a ma
iority Of the presidential electors and
thus throw the election into the house.
II we lose this election we shall GO into

capped for 80.

ton. II is not so much with US the Sc

electing of a small working majority.

What do You think of the estimates

and politicians?'
AS l said, l believe we shall have
small working majority, at the very
least, but do not believe, as some of
our sanguine republicans believe, that
we shall have from 50 to 100 majority
