In the Coming Political Contrast There

IN sac coming Rouucni Contest There
Must be Ne Uncertainty.
All the members Of the next con.
gress are 70 be elected on November G.
Legislatures are 10 be chosen in Au-
gust, September and November which
win have the election Of thirty-three
United States senators. tfeither house
becomes republican, further bad legis-
lation can be blocked. In the event OF
. strong republican verdict, Il Is prob.
able that even the present congress
will not succeed in passing anything
very damaging during the short session
that will remain for II.
There Is feeling that the republl.
cans. are going 20 sweep the country
this year, and they will u they Try.
But here are few figures which show
that Il will not do 10 be too confident
There are $50 members IN the presen.
house. OF whom only les are repnbli'
cans II will be seen that there Is n
great deal TO overcome The democrats
expect TO hold nearly 1r quite all of
their 100 from the south. II they bold

SO more from % northern states to hold
majority. The republicans must carry
three 10 one OF the northern districts
in order to gain control
But as large number OF democrats
in the present house received only
small pluralities, and as public opinion
has undergone revolution 1t is be-
lieved that every close district will go
republican this year II proper attention
is given to It. A, democratic loss
throughout the north proportional to
that sustained in special elections in
New York and Ohio districts this year
to I'LL vacancies will make the next
house strongly republican. Besides, we
expect some gains in the south.
Thepopulists, who have IL members
of the present house, expect TO have ut
least 20 in the next. This calculation,
however, Is all in the air. Populism is
on the wans In the country districts
since the railroad strike, and our adj
vices from Kansas, Nebraska and the
Dakotas are that the republicans are
likely TO gain two-thirds OF all that the
populists lose. In the large cities, how
ever, the populists now seem likely to
win the striking labor vote from the
democrats. This may be contemplated
with serenity. because the change will
