The present political on took points to
aswesplng Republican victory In Novem-
Der. The majorities of Maine aud Yer
mont make IL entirely probable that not
single Democratic congressman viii be
elected from New England. which means
. loss Of three Democrats In Connecticut,
four In Massachusetts, and two In Rhode
Island. In New York. with the election
but three weeks distant, there Is

cratic defeat Tammany may save itself

dependent Democratic Journals, Like
the New York Esening Post and
the Brooklyn Eagle. are confident Of
Hin's defeat. The Republicans hope
York state, and Gov. Mckinley prom
ises gain Of six in Ohio. The Democrats
are uneasy about Delaware, West Virginia
and New Jersey. From Ohio west there
10 not one Western state that is even
doubtful for the Republicans except Ne
vads, and possibly Colorado. In Louisiana
enough sngsr planters have bolted to put
two, If not three, Democratic congress
sional districts in peril. In Texas Demo-
cratic Congressman Paschali has been de-
feated for denomination because he voted
