THE NEXT HOUSE.
Washington, d. c., Nov. 3.-Chairman
Richardson, of the Democratic Ma
tional Committee. tonight made the
following statement as to the next
House OF Representatives.:
I'VE are absolutely certain that the
next House will be Democratic, and we
believe that the Republican leaders
we'll know it. many prominent Repub-
leans having admitted it. The ma
jority will be a good. safe one, at least
twenty-five. This committee has not
deemed it wise to go into detailed esti-
mates. showing the districts they are
confident of carrying. or those that
they are making a fight for, for the
reason that we do not wish to invite
greater opposition. or arouse the Re
publicans to concentrate their forces in
those districts where our Democratic
candidates arc making hopeful battle
The wisdom of this must be appar-
ent to every good Democrat. and is
certainly appreciated by every intelli-
gent man.
The claims OF the Republicans that
they expect to carry the House by a
decided majority is all for political
effect. The prominent men OF the party
have conceded fer some time past thai
the situation was desperate and pro-
badly hopeless SO far as the House was
concerned. and the claims now are
made TO keep their spirits up"
