CONGRESSIONAL ELECTION Chairman Babcock Predicts a Hard Fight. j j REPUBLICAN j j DOUBT The next Presidential Election likely to be thrown into the House for Settlement. The situation from a Republican Standpoint. The Chicago Tribune publishes I a special from Washington contain with Chairman Babcock of the Republican Con greesional Committee. Mr. Bab [cock gives notice that the Republi t cans who have already captured the j next House of llepreseiitives had better throw away their horns. He says: "At present there are twenty-five States that have been apportioned by the Democrats and eleven by the Republicans. The remainder elect at large, having only one or two members each, and have not been apportioned. The vote that elected Benjamin Harrison Presi dent in 1888 gave us a majority of three in the House, but the same vote to-day would give the Demo crats from ten to twelve majority. This result is brought about by ger rymander in the larger Northern States, among which are New York, Michigan, Illinois and Wisconsin. So you will at once see that we can win by a large popular vote and still loose the house. The Democrats now have 120 ing an interview a members and the Republicans 7 from the Solid South. They need only 59 more to make a majority, and have twenty-eight Northern States to elect them from, while we must secure 172 members from these same States to organize the House, or, in other words, we must elect 172 members out of 229 districts, or three members to their one. problem is, can we elect 75 per cent of the members in the twenty-eight Eastern, Western and Northern States? The race for the control of the next House, 1 believe, practically determines the coming Presidential election, for if the Democrats con trol the Fifty-fourth Congress by a majority of states their plan for 1890 will be to increase the Populist tick et in enough Northern and Western States to prevent the Republicans from securing a majority of the Presidential Electors and in this way throw the election of the Presi dent into the House. You (fan at once see that if we lose the Fifty The the on trip to The f ° ur ^ C ° n f eS8 we . wil J g ° m . to Ü ! e I Presidential campaign badly handi soon capped We do not look f or any ! g re at gains from the South, for I ? r. 6 » from a * d t £ e pending 1 Wilson his bin ? together with the income tax in- provision, will strengthen the Dem ocratic party in that section."
