Belief That the New Tariff Dill is a Source of Strength. A FEDERAL ELECTION MEASURE Secessary to Insure Tarty Games in the Southern States. THE VIEWS OF THE YAEIOUS MEMBERS 5" The Republicans in the House of Repre sentatives are very anxious to retain control of that body. Measures to that end are now under consideration. Interviews with the leaders show how they hope to accomplish this object rCORBISrOXDEXCE OP THE DtGPATCH.1 "Washington, May 7. The first Con press in years that has been in political ac cord with the President and the Senate is civinp a cood deal of thought just now to the approaching canvass for re-election. All eyes are centered on the contest, and the hopes and fears of both political parties are beinr; widely discussed. Visitors to the "White House find that it interests the President nowadays to talk of the condition of affairs in their home districts. They are also impressed with the fact that the Chief Magistrate is keeping himself well posted on tbe subjest, and that he has gleaned some pretty accurate information about the Con gressional districts from other sources. Nor are these the only indications of a rising tide o! interest in the subject, for tons of public documents are going out under the Congressional frank, members are daily leaving their seats to patch up their fences at home, and not a few votes are being cast on both sides of the Honse for the purpose of straightening matters out there. The fact that the Democrats have already ap pointed a "Campaign Literature" Commit tee, with a bar'l in the shape of Eoswell P. Flower at its bead, shows also that skirmish ing for the fight has already begun. It is going to be a hard battle. The op position is active, determined and stunc to desperation by the presence in the Speaker's chair of one who has tied their hands and leads the majority into action, not talfc. They squirm and wriggle on the floor of the House to no purpose, but the tale of woe they have in store for the voters is long and harrowing in the extreme. A TEET NAEROW SIAEGIK. They realize that less than a dozen seats out of 330 would turn the control into Dem ocratic bands to-day. Enough seats could be stolen next fall from the present Repub lican representation from Southern States to do this; Ohio, with its 16 Republican Con gressmen at the mercy of a Democratic Iiec- islative gerrymander, offers a tempting field to accomplish the same end; and Republican danger lies all along the line of weak nominations or local factional quarrels in close districts, of which there are now an unusually large number. Sixty-five members of this House were elected by narrow pluralities of less than 1,200, and more than half of these are Republicans. Some failed to get a majority at all, as in all from districts from Con necticut. Ten districts gave the success ul candidate less than 100 plurality; 25 care less than 500 and 49 gave under 1,000. Thirty-nine of these close districts are located in States that gave their electoral vote to the Republican ticket, as follows: yivw Hampshire, 1. Massachusetts, 1; .New Tork, 4; Pennsylvania, 4; Ohio, 7; Indiana 8; Illinois, 2; Michigan, 4; Nevada. 4; Cali fornia, 3, and Iowa 1. Then we have three Republicans elected on the narrowest of margins in Connecticut a State that voted for Cleveland 3 for the first time from St. ,Lioui8, and 6 seated from Vest Virginia. I quote these figures to show by what a slender thread the present majoritv holds control, and how easily a few votesin cer tain districts next fall could return a House with a majority against the administration. Tbe best evidence at this time that this is not among the probabilities i, that the Re publicans here are alive to the danger, and by conscientious work on the floor ot the Honse sod activity in the field are doing all in their power to avert it The feeling here is that the Republicans are sure to gain in strength with the country as legislation is completed. The tariff bill is an illustration of this, for it will be noticed in the interviews printed below that nearly all the members speak ot its strength with their constituents. This is especially true of those members representing agricul tural communities. Assistant Postmaster General Clarkson is of the opinion that the farmers are going to be more strongly Re publican next fall than ever. As the active nead of the National Committee, he has been directing a quiet canvass or the Con gressional districts for some time past, and has had reports from all of the principal States. His opinion, therefore, as to the situation and prospects is of great value. He said to me: est of the nation Is superior to that of the State in the result. The Constitution '.cites tbe na tion the right to protect ltseir and Its voters. This nation ought to iihow to the world that it will protect Its votors as far as It can, even if the States do not. With snch a law there can be no doubt of the Republican majority of the next House, for with it Jbe hundreds ot thou sands of Republicans In the South who have not been allowed to vote for years forCongressmen, orelsehaie not had their votes counted, will exert their influence and send their share of Republicans to Congress. STRENGTH Or PROTECTION. Another thing that this year's elections will demonstrate will be the strength of protection in the West and Northwest In IbSS the East ern delegates said to the Western In the Re publican National Convention, "You must give us a strong protection plant." Tho West con sented, and after tbe plank was adopted stood by it better than tbe r.ast did. Protection Ss stronger m the West to-dav than tn ,the East The tarms stond by it in 1SSS even better than the manufacturing centers. There is not enough free trade in Iowa to be seen in any time of actual contest In a political campaign. The Northwest wants the inequities of the tariff removed, and a thorough and sensible re vision and reduction, but it wants it in the In terest of the protection policy as well as font self. I may add in conclusion that I believe the Re publican party has grown tired of not protect ing its own interests, and of seeing hundreds of thousands of its voters trampled down by the Democrats, and that now it intends to appeal to honorable resorts, within the law and under tbe Constitution, to see that Republicans every where in mis repuuui: aic iven me cnance to vote as well as Democrats. It is about time to nave lair play tor tne itepuuucans in America. There is no State or county in the Union at the present tune where a Democrat cannot vote in perfect safctv. while there are thousands of communities where a Republican cannot vote at alL The Democrat has too many liberties as compared to tbe liberties now granted to Re publicans. A llepublican can be arrested in any community in this Union."while there are several btates where neither State's court nor United States court can or will arrest a Demo crat. The Republican party now has the legiti mate power under law, and it has before it tne duty under honor, tn even up things in this country and to giv- Kepublicans as many rights as jLsemocrais, anu mm u is K"i"E to no It. SOMETHING OF A KICKER. Congressman Butterworth, of Ohio, who, next to Major McKinley, is the most promi nent memDer of tbe Buckeye delegation, believes that the next Congress will have a Republican majoritv, aud is not inclined to join with some of his colleagues in support 01 several measures now under consideration for a close supervision of elections in the States by the Federal Government He said: The result of the approachincfight will binge largely on tbe outcome 01 labors still to be com pleted by this Congress. The tariff is part of this work, but equally important is the cry for such other legislation as will aid the farmers of the country to lift the heavy burden now upon tbem. The present majority in Congress can insure a similar one next session by passing wise measures to this end, and I think the bill to prevent gambling in farm products to be a step in this direction. As for the tariff. I have no doubt that if we pass a bill that will not merely shift extravagant duties from one article to another, but will be a careful revision ot the tariff schedules; if, I say. wo stand by our tariff platform pledges I have no doubt that the country will sustain us. The Republicans now have 1C out of the 21 members from Ohio. "Do you expect to see as many returned this fall?" I asked. He replied: WhynotT A Democratic Legislature is en deavoring to gerrymander the Slates so as to shut out as many Republicans as possible, but 1 do not entertain any fears on that score. It has invariably been the case in Ohio that the party responsible for an unfair gerrymander has suffered defeat at the polls font. The Democrats will slip up as surely as they at tempt it. That is one reason why I do not believe in the McComas bill to prevent re districting except after each census. Not only in Ohio, but everywhere, the people believe in fair, square fights, and they hate lonl play, and I believe their spirit of fairness will always up set snch schemes as the Ohio Legislature now has in view. We ought to keen the national Government as far away as possible from inter-, ference with the States. You can add that I believe we will have a good working majority in tbe next House, and that the present session will present a record on which the Republicans can well afford to ask for a continuance in power. CLARKSON'S OPINIONS. I am among those who think that the Re publican party will control the next Honse, as it does this, if it does even half of what It ought to do by way of following the honorable instinct of self-preservation, as a party always ought to do. The administration has strength ened the Republican situation, rather than weakened it. Congress is clearing up business rapidly, 1 am confident it will soon pass a silver bill which will do the business world Cood, and will come just at tbe time that the rising pulse of trade always comes, in the spring. I am confident also that it will pass a good tariff bill, one which will not pamper any element or interest, but guard faithfully the lutercsts of the people by way of making re ductions where they are needed, and many are needed, as -ell as maintaining the protection necessary for American prosperity. The line of Wo and duty on this is to preserve such a degree of protection as will continue the differ ence between the wages of laborers in Europe and America. There Is nothing discouraging in tbe outlook for llepublican success, unless it be tbe desper ate intentions of the Democratic party in some of the States to gerrymander the districts If tbe Republican Congress does not prevent snch a desperate resort, as it is clearly within iu right and power to do. Still, I do not think such a plan will very greatly benefit tbe Demo crats. Any outrageous gerrymandering of a State drives away from any party certain fair elements which go to tbe other side to help de feat auv iniquitous plans. As the administra tion and Congress have strengthened the party In the past 3 ear. I think they will strengthen It very mucn more in tbe next three months. Tbe Republican party, with Its record of sympathy andlielp for labor, will. I am pretty confident, show by legislation soon to be enacted, its interest and constant Intention to elevate tbe condition of workingmen. Other things will rontributeto this same end. Dis contented labor and depressed agriculture are both going to feel tbe good effects of good legislation. I take it for granted that In the present Ke publlcan sltnatinn, with Cocgre-S llepublican and tbe President Republican, and with cour age in Congress and the White Hohse to do what is right, some legislation will be enacted which will defeat the Southern plan of disfran chising Republican voters by the hundred thousand. This can be dons as to all United Btatea elections, or in elections where the inter- YOUNG, BUT AMBITIOUS. Henry Cabot Lodge is one of the younger element now pushing to the front in Con gress and in the Republican party through out the country. This is his second term iu Congress, but next year is likely to see him back again. There has been a good deal of gossip about the effect of the McKinley tariff bill, and especially the clause, now thrown aside, admitting hides free ot duty, so far ss the Bay State is concerned. Con gressman Lodge was among the first to pro test against this, and now that the error has been correced.-be is sanzuine that the next delegation from Massachusetts will have at least ten Republicans out of the dozen that represent it Mr. Lodgesaid: I see no reason to fear defeat next fall. Of course, tbe legislation on which we will go to the people is still in a formative state.and itis impos sible to gauge public opinion with regard to it until it has bad wide discussion in its completed state. I think it is a little earlv to judge how luo jieuuie win iah.e me larin Din or any otuer measure; but before we adjourn I have no doubt that they will see that this Congiess has done more and better work than manv of its predecessors. It is important, to my mind, that some steps be taken this session to prevent men claiming a seat in Congress who have no right uere except mat cstauusnea Dy iraua and in timidation. Wo shonld provide for fair elec tions and a free expression of the people's will. I don't know how many Southern districts would return Republicans were the elections conducted fairly, but there would certalnlv be a decided increased Coming back to New'En gland, you can say that tbe Republicans there seem to be contented with the outlook. This administration appears to suit them. A MAN FROM MAINE. Congressman Seth L. Milliken, who comes Irom Maine, voiced pretty much tbe same sentiments as Mr. Lodge. Said he: Maine's delegation will be solidly Republican and made up of about the Fame men. The tariff will be the issue, of course, and our people are just as good protectionists as ever. My opinion is that this holds good all over New England, for of the 21 Representatives from our five State, only three are Democrats two coming from Boston and one from Connecticut I understand they will make an effort to have a clear sweep in Connecticut next fall. There are only two members irom Rhode Island. Both are Republicans, and both tell me that there is no danger of a Demo crat slipping in. Warren O. Arnold, who is serving his second term in tbe House, in discussing the claims of the tree traders of great gains in the State, declared that tbe men who are prating and prophesying so loudly are the same that have been at it for years past, and he hasno evidence that they have increased in numbers. He said: The recent elections brought defeat simply because of inattentions through overcontidence. There was no issue of consequence before tbe people, and our leaders allowed the canvass to run itself. It neither reflects nor affects the sentiment of the voters on the tariff or any other national issue. I am in curstant com munication with my people, and I have yet to receive a complaint against tbe McKinley bill. That shows they are satisfied with it as a whole. Somo of the manufacturers may desire a change in tbe wool schedule, but they are ready 10 give me wool groej tne same protection tbey ask for themselves. It can be said, I think, that the same feeling exists tbroughout New England, and that the Republican control of the Government will be indorsed by the re turn of as many Republican Congressmen from the New England States as there now are. COMING BACK AGAIN. John A. Quackenbush relieved a Demo crat from duty in the Troy district, aud he is likely to hold the seat another term at least He thus expressed himself: I think tbe district can be relied on for the Republicans, for it is wholly agricultural out side of Troy. The farmers of Washington and Renssalaer counties raise more potatoes than in any other sput in tbe country and more than many entire btates. Canadian competition has been hurting them, and Mr. Mills' proposition in his bill to reduce the duty solidified them against free trade. They are with us jet. Of course, we have a worse gang than Tammany Hall heelers" to meet in Trov. Tney yop at nothing in the wav of election frauds. If tbey can be watched closely the Republicaus can win without doubt. Congressman Browne, of Indiana, said: If Republicans support their own candidates we shall have a majority of the Indiana delega tion next time. There are several close dis tricts, and local troubles more than any dissat isfaction on national auestionsmay affect tbe result. The spring elections have nothing to do with those to come in tbe fall, as no national ir-sue was Involved. I have no dot 'it that we will have control of the next Congress. Congressman Frederick Miles, of Con necticut, only had u plurality ot six votes over bis Democratic opponent last time. The district went Democratic in 1886. though Mr. Miles served two terms before that The as indeed it will be in all four Congressional districts of the Nutmeg State, for the aver age plurality of the successful candidates was less than 500 last time, and they have, zig-zagged back and forward for years. In the last Congress Connecticut had three Democrats and one Republican. Now the figures are reversed, but all three Repub lican members tell me they are confident of holding tbe districts this fall. He said: There is not much to say abont the situation. I have heard nothing startling from my State one way or tho other, and the outlook is satis factory, so far as I know. The fieht will be an uncertain one until the count, but we ought to have three Republican members next time from present appearances. Tho farmers are satlshed with the protection to agriculture given by the McKinley bill, and we have no serious complaint to make against tbe other schedules. 1 thint the work of this Congress, as a whole, has strengthened ns with voters everywhere, and It is my opinion that not only will New England KepJMlcans uoiu tneir own, but that we will have a larger majority here next year than we have now. (. ' "", ' BURROWS SUEE OP TICTORY. Congressman Burrows, who is one of the strong men on the Republican side of the House, is confident ot securing the next Congress. He said: So far as Michigan is concerned, there has been a little discontent among the farmers, but tho legislation now in band here will straighten that out. Three districts are close, but 1 do not look for any losses. Most of tbe Michigan delegation will be renominated. 1 deem it lm- nortant to nass some measure that will make money freer and strenghten business confi dence. The McKinley bill has helped ns in MIchlcan. If our other bills are received equally well, we will Have the country's ap proval. Mark Brewer is not coming baek to Con gress from Micihgan, but he does not expect to retire in favor ot a Democrat He thus expressed himself: There are only two Democrats from Michigan out of tbe 11 members, said he, and we are going to try and keep the next delegation in the same shape. We retired three Democrats last time in the Fifth, Eighth and Tenth dis trictsand thev are naturally close still. I had less than 500 plurality in n;V own district in a vote of 40,000. You can see. therefore, how un certain any prediction at this time must be. The State is In good shape, though, politically, we should not lose a member. As lor Congress In general, it is to be re membered that tbe Republicans start out with one-third of the country solidly arrayed against tbem where all tbe Democrats have to do is to name their men and count them in. That is a heavy handicap. It may bo true that the tide of sentiment is against ns now. but the completed record of this session will turn it tbe other way. It will be the best ever presented, I believe. I know that in any one State those farmers who have suffered from Canadian competition are enthu siastic over McKinley'a bill. Congressman Houle,of Tennessee.believes that if anything like a proper election law is passed this session the Republican dele gation from the South will be increased from 15 to 30 members. He said: It is Idle to talk about our prospects in the South until we see how strong a measure will be passed for our protection. Every Southern district in which there has been any Industrial development or progress shows an even more rapid growth of Republican or protection sen timent. With no side matters to cloud or be fog the issue, Tennessee would to-day declare for Republicanism and protection. So would oiher Southern States. Whether an election law Is passed or not we will certainly carry three Congressmen out of the ten in our State. The Memphis district Is fairly ours, too, but we are regularly cheated out of it In fact a majority of the Congressmen from Tennessee wonfd be Republican with a fair count. Protection will be our issue again. The administration is satis factory to our people, and will cut no figure one way or the other. If tbe Republicans lose the next House they will have onlv themselves to blame for it, for if they give us a law compell ing onr votes to be counted we will more than make up any losses in the North. THE NEW YORK LEADER. So far as politics are concerned, Congress man Bellen, of Syracuse, is the leader ot the New York Republicaus in the House. He is enthusiastic over Speaker Reed's way of handling the Democrats. His views follow: Republican sentiment through the conntrv Is now at its lowest ebb. That is natnral, and to be expected while we ire in mid-stream with our legislation. But this Congress is a high water mark in accomplishing results, and as the country realizes this tbe past will grow in strength. When we adjourn, we shall have passed a model tariff bill, conservative pension legislation, a national election law. and, I hope, a bankrupt law. Already our tariff bill is work ing good in upper New York, where Canadian competition has been severely felt. We will re elect every Congressman from the northern tier of counties clear through to Buffalo, in cluding the district now held by Mr. Wiley, a Democrat. New York is all right, but tbe South neods attention, and ought to have it this session in the shape of a strong election law. J. S. Sherman, from the Oneida district, has had reports Irom his counties that the McKinley bill has strengthened the party there. He said: Tbe next House will have a Republican ma jority, for 1 believe the work this session jus i ties a favorable verdict We have tbe Solid South to confront, but we will always have it until we pass a law that will insure fair elec tions. Really, though, tbe farmers have the decision so far as Congress is concerned, and as they have never yet failed to respond to a Re publican call, I do not see why we should fear them this time. There are four Republicans among tbe 12 Congressmen irom Missouri a gain of two. Three of these protectionists were re turned from the city of St. Louis, as a pro test against Cleveland's free trade platform, for that city had always been consistently Democratic in Congressional fights. Messrs. Neidringhaus and Kiusey, two of these St Louis representatives, uever took an active part in politics, until tbe tariff fight two years ago. Both ot them are likely to re turn, here next session. Mr. Neidringhaus said: We are vitally interested In protection, and as a business man I can say that tho McKinley bill has strengibened the party in my city and State. We ought to elect three Republicans in Missouri again iiext fall, and carry the Spring field district. It is a sort of off-year, however, in politics, and if we hold our own in Missouri it ought to be satisfactory. The State is stead ily drifting toward a tariff majority. A na tional election law would make no material difference, for we are not troubled as other Southern States are. A man can vote as he pleases there. We want pension tariff and silver legislation of a conservative sort and next fall's elections will surely come out right. THE CLOSE DISTRICTS. Congressman "W. M. Kinsey, also of St. Louis, indorsed bis colleague's views as his own. Said he: A change of a thousand votes would tnrn the result in any of tbe three districts in my city. So prophecy one way or the other Is apt to be uncertain. I can only say that we are satis fied with the outlook and that the spring elec tions in St. Louts justify our confidence. It is a stronglv protection city, and will never de sert the Republicans on that issue. My belief is that the party strength is growing in the Southwest Tnere is no -doubt of it in my State. Congressman Henderson, of Iowa, said: You can safely say that If the same wisdom prevails in tbe legislation of the further dajs of this session as has thus far, there will be no doubt of a Republican majority in this House next winter. Iowa has eleven members, ot whom ten are Republicans. We have some close districts, but I look for just as many Re publicans in the next delegation as we now have. Nothing that this Congress ha thus far done has left any but a favorable impression nn the people out my way. They are especially delighted with the free sugar and other features of tbe McKinley bill and Heartily in dorse it The Northwest generally is satisfied, despite the talk I hear here in the East of great uprisings for tariff reform. I believe we ought 10 take advantage of tbeopportunity now afforded to insure fair electrons, and to that end the legislation on tbe subject seems to me timely. WHAT VIEGINIA MAY BO. Congressman Bowden, ot Virginia, is also Chairman of his State Committee, and has been looking into the Congressional dis tricts. Said be: We shall probably have five Republicans out of tbe ten members from Vircinia and eight if wo get an election law. There is no question about the temper of tbe people of my Stati- on the national issues that have been before them for several yrars past. It is a Republican Stale, and there would not be more than two Democrats in the delegation were tho votes counted. The result in Virginia and every other Southern State next fall will depend en tirely on the protection given the voter and the ballot box. That is the situation in a nutshell. There is a solid Republican delegation of five from Minnesota in the present Congress as against a division of 3 to 2 against tbem in the last one. This is one of the curious facts one stumbles across in looking for the effects of the great tariff reform wave in the Northwest which tbe free traders jiro'ess to see up there. The "wave" landed live pro tectionists in Congress last time and Con gressman Dunnell thinks it will repeat next tail. He said Hon and with Congress.My district and the Third are the only close ones, but the chances are largely in our favor The freetraders talk a good deal abont dividing our vote, bntwa continue to get the majorities just the same on election day. , ooamoou The sentiment on the Republican side is brought out in all its phases in these talks and shows that tbe men' most vitally iuter ested in keeping control, and who, thereiore follow the bent of popular opinion most closely, are confident that the administration nmumcouiiijiES iu syuipatny with it in both branches until the end of the term. H. L. Stoddard. A rEEHZIED MOTHER Kills One Daughter, Purines another and Inflicts Fatal Wounds Upon Herself. Teavee, Cal., May 7. At o'clock Iait night Mrs. T. A. Bresler, who lives with her husband five miles from this place, sent her two girls, aged 11 and 9 years, to bed and shortly after entered the room, and seizing the older girl by the throat, pro ceeded to strangle her to death. The younger child ran from the room pursued by her mother, who was still clinging to tbe other child. The mother followed 200 yards and dropped the older child, who was then dead, and after pursuing the other some distance, gave up the chase and returned home. The little girl soon arrived at a neighbor s and gave the alarm. Meanwhile her husband came home, and finding no one in the house, gave several calls, and was finally answered by his wife. Going to the back of the house, he found her in a pool of blood. He carried her into the house, and found the front part of her head was literally chopped to pieces. She was perfectly conscious, and said she bad in flicted the wounds on herself, but gave no reason lor doing so. She told him where the dead child was, and the neighbors, who had then arrived, soon found the body, which was closely guarded by the faithful dog. The 'doctors prononnced the woman's case hopeless.
