POLITICAL REPRESENTATIONS.

A Republican political predictor. who
claims to be an expert and to know what
he 10 talking about. has been looking
over the battle-ground and figures out
that the next House will have a Re-
publican majority OF "a. He takes each
State ard gives the number of each
party that will be elected, with the re-
suit we have stated. Per contra, Dem
ocratic expert goes over the same ground
ana gets majority Of 80 Democrats.
Taking their results ''mutatis mutandis. %
they agree very well as to the size of
the majority and each thinks he has
good ground for the faith that is in him,
we have NO doubt. The only IA MI is that
neither may be right
Calculations Of this kind are about the
most uncertain Of all ventures into the
realms Of the unknowable. The present
House has Republican majority Of q,
we believe, and 1t is very easy to see
what a considerable change must be
made In ordsr to give the Democrats any
majority. and to get majority of 20
r,ouires gains in nearly every State The
Democratic politician claims that the
Party will gain three in COLORADO, one
In Connecticut, one in Delaware, one in
Idaho, one IN Illinois. two in Indiana,
one In Iowa, four in Kansas, two in
Kentucky, four in Maryland, one in
Massachusetts,. four in Michigan, two in
Missouri, one in Montana, two in Ne
braSka, one in Nevada, two in New
Jersey. five in New York, four In Ohio,
six in p -nnsylvania, and one In wiscon-
sin. This makes a clear gain for the
Democrats of 40. ane as the next House
will contain more members than the
last. this estimate gives a clear Demo-
crate majority of 81.
As before stated, the game of politics
is an exceedingly unc srtain one. and pre-
dictions on the result are about as diff
ficult as to foretell the condition of the
weather on any day two months ahead.
That there ought to be Democratic gains
is beyond doubt. but that there will be
Is another matter. AS the problem pre-
sents itself to our mind the great OBJ
stacle in the way of Democratic success
is the lack of one well-defined and gen.
eral Issue upon which fight could be
made all along the line. AS 1t stands at
present. Democrats will have to depend
on local issues and local questions and
these are about as likely to go one way
as another. We must confess that we
are unable to see any Democratic ma
jority in the next House unless condi-
tons change very materially,
