Chairman Babcock, of the repub
| can congressional committee, has
issued statement based on detail
ed reports, claiming the next house
of representatives as republican by
at least 32 majority He says,
the committee has now received
detailed reports from nearly all the
congressional districts, and while
there are quite number of dis
tricts that cannot be determined
upon at present, owing to various
causes, some with two candidates,
others where the question of fusion
has not been settled, and others
where nominations have not been
completed, VIC have sufficient data
to warrant us in saying that the
republicans will elect mem oers
from 1874 districts without any
question. These districts | con
slider absolutely certain, and in ad-
dition to this there are about 5U
more that can DE classed as doubt
ful, with he probabilities that the
majority of them will elect repub-
icans. This insures at this time a
working maj GRITTY of 32. y

The democrats are beginnirg g to
have some hope of electing Mr..
Smith judge of this district. They
are doing everything possible to
encourage the Pomeroy movement
to help Smith They hope by di-
verting enough republican votes
from Mr.. McIntire to pull Smith
through. They see plainly enough
that vote for Pomeroy is half
vote for Smith, and if they can not
persuade a republican to vote for
Smith they endeavor to turn him
to Pomeroy They know well
enough that their only hope of de-
feating Mr.. McIntire is to get re-
publicans to vote for Judge Pcme-
roy in sufficient numbers to divide
the republican vote. Republicans
should thoroughly understand this
matter. They should know that a
vote for Pomeroy is nothing more
or less than a vote for the demo
cra,ie nominee. In ter>Lake.

of supporting John zimmerman,

like to say through the column OF

Green is the same individual who
for some time prior to the last re-
publican CONVENTION held in this
county, went about the country
openly denouncing men as bolters
who as far as their loyalty to party
candidates is concerned are far
better republicans than the afore-
said EraStus Green, wheelhorse,

ticipated in the convention that
nominated Mr.. Potter for sheriff, in
the capacity OF permanent chair
man, and as such chairman declared
after the ballot was counted that
Mr.. Potter having received the
majority of all votes cast is declar-
the nominee of the convention,
makes his Reputation of Messrs.
Potter and Warner all the more
disaonorable.
AS to his declared intention OF

would say that it looks as if the

like this: If Charlie don't get th'

to believe that he was preeminen
