renominat ton, ,mai4s the situation more or
less unfavorable for the democrats there.
In Louisiana,2the republicans are all but
certain OF carrying the third district, and a
hight Is beinef made for two others. which
may possibly be carried. In Maryland a
republican wig coIte in the place Of Nc
Kaig. but there is no probability of any
other republican ,keing elected from that
state. The ninth and tenth are the only
districts In Massachusetts, which the DEM
ocrats have any hopes Of carrying. In
Michigan 1t ~ generally conceded that the
republicans Will gain two districts, and they
will probably gain Hne other-if there Is not
landslide to- give them the whole state
1t Is believed that 10 Minnesota one populist
and one democrat viii be elected and that
the other five distt3cts win be represented
publican, who was Improperly unseated IN
favor of John is ONeill. will surely be
elected from Missouri, The democrats are
also in danger Of losing the fifth and M
teenth districts, and perhaps one other In
that state. In Nebraska 1t Is not believed
that the republicans can do more than eject
man in the place Of Bryan. IN the hrst
district. The populists there are reported
to be very strong. In New Jersey indica-
lions are that the fifth, sixth and eighth
districts and, possibly, the fourth will go
republican, SO that the democrats may De

their representatives.
The New York Situation.
The New York situation Is so compli-
Gated that no very definite claims are being
made by either party 1t is believed to be
practically certain that the republicans VIII
carry the fifth and thirty-secon1 districts
while the first, second, oixteenfh. nine

doubt -,..f So
A very stiff fight Is being put up by the
populists in North Carolina, and the re-
public ans also are making a vigorous cam

the fifth district, which they now have
and 1t is believed that one district will be
lost by the democrats to the populists.
In Ohio the fourth, fifth, thirteenth and
seventeenth districts are the only ones
the democrats are sure Of carrying. Those
represented by Houk and Outhwaite re-
spectively. though strongly democratic, are
extremely doubtful in this campaign, with
the prospects strongly in favor of one, If
not both. going republican. The ninth, four
teenth. sixteenth, eighteenth and twenty
first, now held by the democrats, are count
ed as surely republican.
Information from the Sibley district in
Pennsylvania, which 1t was thought the
republicans would win. indicates that Sib-
ley will probably be reelected The defeat
Of Sipe. democrat in the twentyfourth dis
trtct. Is practically conceded BY the demo-
Gratis. The Beltzhoover and Reilly districts
are in great danger. and It Is not irnproba-
BILE that the men in whose interests Nc
Aleer was euchered out Of denomination
In the third district will be defeated. Re-
pubhcans are sure Of one district in Rhode
Island, If not both. In South C,.rolina the
democrats are liable to lose two or three
districts to the populists. In-Te.. lessee the
republicans will surely hold tEc first and
second districts and are malS.lg q hard
fight for the eighth, but 1t Is Probable that
Enloe, the democrat, will get the certih-

An Extraordinary situation in Texas.
An extraordinary situation is presented in
Texas, and 1t IL difficult to get at the top
or bottom Of 1t. The populists are said to
be showing more strongly in that than in
any other southern state. Nearly all the
democratic candidates are more or less
alarmed, and the election of two or three
populists would not be surprising. In the
twelfth district represented by Paschal, 1t
Is said that a. republican will probably be
elected. In Virginia the democrats will
probably losestwor districts and are threat
ened with the loss of two others The
fight in West Virginia is so close that either
party may be rliable to carry all four Of the
districts. The prospects are in favor, how
ever, OF the democrats holding two of them,
and they may notplose more than one. In
Wisconsin the democrats are making the
same attempt they are making In Illinois
to maintain the issue raised at the last
election on account Of the school question
and to hold the German vote by represent
Ing the A. p. A. movement as republican
opposition to foreigners. Upon the as
sumption that they are going to be able to
democrats claim that they will have four
Representatives from that state. The re-
publicans are sure of electing their men
in place of the democrats in the fourth and
ninth districts, and will probably elect one
other.
