Mr.. Joseph II. Manley, chairman Of
the Republican national executive com
mittee said in an interview
rs is no prophecy to assert that the
Republicans viii carry the majority Of
the congressional delegations in 20 states
out Of the "A and thus have clear ma
iority OF the states in tho next house OF
representatives, which will end all effort
D IN 1896 to throw the election OF president
. and vice president into tho house.
1T is reasonably assured that the Re-
1 publioans will organize the next house OF
representatives, having majority vary
ing from 10 to 20. an indications point
to the defeat Of MIR. Springer in Illinois
: Holman in Indiana and Wilson in West
Virginia
"The Democrats viii lose after March
next their asoendency in tho United
States senate, Unfortunately for two
] years tho Pouulisls will hold the balance
of power I'D tho senate, Their number
will be increased there Co six BY tho cleo
+ tlon Of Governor Tillman Of South Caro-
lima There is every probability that the
! Republicans will have AZ senators and ths
/ Democrats 40.
