Republican National Committeeman
Joseph H. Manley yesterday gave
forecast of the electoral vote for Nc
Kinley and Hobart. as we'll as prog
nostication of the United States senate
and house of representatives, as they
will be organized ON March 4, 1887.
Referring to the senate Mr.. Manley
made the following statement over his
signature:
'.On the 4th of March next there Will
be % senatorial vacancies to be flied.
OF the SO senators whose terms do not
expire at that time, % are Republicans,
"a Democrats, and six are Populisis,
including Senators Cannon and Petit
grew. There is one vacancy in Della
ware and one in Kentucky. The va
cancies in these two states will be filed
the coming winter
THE PROBABILITIES.
"Of these % vacancies, the Demo-
Gratis viii have seven, making their full
number 81 The Popuiists will have
three. making their TOTAL strength
nine. The Republicans viii have Il,
making their full number 46, leaving
Delaware, Kentucky, Kansas and Utah
in doubt Even if these four are
columns. 1t viii still leave the Repub-
ilcans a majority of two over all.
But the probabilities are that we
shall have a majority of six over all,
Or As Republican senators who can be
relied upon at all times to vote for
purely Republican measures irrespec-
tive of any free silver riders. and all
indications point to the fact that the
majority of the United States senators
will be for sound money and not for
free silver.
In the house the Republican ma
jor.ty will not fall below IS, and may
reach 30.
II do not think the outlook could be
better in any respect, and it now
seems certain that both branches OF the
national congress will be safely in
the hands of the Republicans and upon
the side of honest money.
The past week has shown without
a doubt that the current is steadily
setting in favor of the election of Nc
Kinley and Hobart in the great north
west and in the border southern states.
AS HE SEES IT.
To-day after careful review OF the
situation / give as a forecast CT the
electoral vote the following:
Mckinley and Hobart, 295; Bryan,
10: doubtful, ~
1T is impossible 10 defeat Major
Mckinley If in the remaining days
before election the Republicans and
sound money Democrats throughout
the land continue to give their most
energetic efforts toward the success OF
the Republican parry. the victory viii
be just what we media sweeping
one
Hitherto Mr.. Manley has declined to
make an estimate Of the November re-
suit. He is considered a conservative
man and for this reason the foregoing
starement carries much weight in the
east.
Garrett a Hobart, Republican can
didate for vice president has written
letter that will be princes in tocays
the Dry Goods Economist He predicts
a 'resounding verdict fog the Repub
lican ticket and says:
Thus. leaving aside the moral ques-
ton involved in the debasemert of the
debt paying medium, it has proved inn
possible for the advocates of fr.e silver
coinage as a false 1atio to convince the
Industrial and mercantile eommunitv
that trade conditions can be improved
by substituting a fiuctuating standard
of values fer one that has gained
steadiness through world wide recog-
milton.
WHAT THEY KNOW.
Manufacturers. importers. and do
nestle merchants alike know that
there can be neither safety nor pres
perity with a huctuating currency.
The natural decline in prices due TO
Improved processes of production and
10 increasing competition is quite suffl-
Gent without inviting the added ills
of an unstable currency So clear. in
fact, is the commercial mind of this
nation on these points that the dis
tant possibility of the success of the
silver party has sufficed to seriously
raralyze our national activity through
out this campaign. We have seen
manufacturing curtailed orders cut
down through every grade of distrlbu-
tors. projected enterprises abandoned.
incipient undertakings arrested. and
the whole country pausing till the uni
versal danger should pass.
But al last the end is in sight
Throughout these trying months mil
lions Of American voters have patient
" awaited the day or action. That
day IS now ar hand. ] believe that the
various divisions Of our vast industrial
army are about TO be heard in stern
rebuke Of the gospel of hatred. l be-
lieve that the honor and good sense of
this people are about to speak the
decisive word which vindicates these
qualities before the world, and thar
then one and all viii address them
selves once more, with hope and en-
ergy. to the work of restoring and in
oTeasirg the prosperity of our land.

The prize list of the horse show

than ever before. but the number of
entries is 100 less than last year. Many
animals that were eligible at former
shows have been debarred, and classes

to be useless have been dropped, and
so 1000 entries will compete for $685.
