Daily Democrat A PREDICTION The Democrat wants here and now to make a prediction. First, that when the new Congress meets it will And itself con fronted with a larger number of contested cases for membership in that body than has occurred for many years. Second, that nearly all the contests will be made br de feated republican candidates who claim the seats of their democratic opponents. Third, that the k louse will decide In favor of near ly every republican contestee without re gard to the merits of the contest. This is the history of contests In the Mouse when the republicans held a majority. Sydney E. Mudd, republican, will contest the seat of Barnes Compton of the 5th Maryland district, Compton was elected by a very small majority. In the 4th New Jersey district Samuel Fowler.democrat, was elect ed by only seventy -'.wo votes, and N. W. Voorhees will try to overcome this by con test. Congressman Shively, democrat, of Indiana, was returned by a still smaller majority less than forty votes and Wm A. Hoyne,hls republican rival, will e'ndeav or to se:ure the seat. As compared with these efforts to overturn a few votes, the contest of T. B. Eaton, a republican of Memphis, Tenn., to oust Congressman James Fhelan seems quite herculean. Mr. Phelan received 8,000 majority. Charges of fraud will also be made by F. B. Possey, a republican, who was defeated by William t. farrett in the 1st Indiana district. For the first time in many years a contested election case is reported from Connecticut, where in the 4th district Edward R. Sey mour, democrat, will endeavor to unseat Fred R. Miles, republican. Wm. Eiliott, of Beaufort, S. C, who had a contested case on his hands during this Congresses again to experience the same trouble. Other cases which will excite interest are those of T. G. Phelps, republican, against T. J, Clunie, democrat, in the 5th California dis trict, and John Baker, who defeated "Bill" Morrison, and who has in turn succumbed to W. S. Forman. Judge Waddell.of Rich mond, Va, will contest with G. D. Wise the honor of representing the 3rd Virginia district. He charges fraud and illegal vot ing. This long list of cases does not include the West Virginia districts, which are al most certain to be contested. It is safe to ay that the republicans will invariably succeed in these contests. That is a fine showing the South makes in the way of material progress during the year that is just closing. It reveals the gratifying fact that the good work of in dustrial growth is still going on and in , every direction, not being confined to any particular section, and that it is of the di versified character which must bring the best results. Cotton. Iron and tnharrn (till lead, but this Is quite natural, and there is no undue preponderance of thete basic in dustries. Everything indicates that the coming year will eclipse any record yet made, and the work of the immigration companies and bureaus will be prosecuted on a much larger scale than heretofore. Every day the attractions and advantages of the South to the small farmer become more apparent, and with the growth of a more enlightened political sentiment, the number of northern and western men seek ing homes in the sunny land will rapidly increase. Let this good work go on for "a dozen years more.and the beginning of the new century will see the dawn of a new era for the South and the whole country. Three thousand female clerks are now employed In the department offices of Washington. They feel qiite easy over the prospect of retaining their places. Some of them intimate that their security would not be so assured if female suffrage was en grafted on the political system, in which case their sex might not save them against the demands of an equal number of femin ine applicants just as capable as they are and more potential, because the latter had fought in the campaign and had nof'grown gray" in the service. ECONOMY. Salkm, Jan. 16th, 1889. Editors Democrat : . The Ortgonian says the people need have no fears as this Legislature is to be one of economy. This statement Is not justified by the course of the Senate in creating the office of and assistant cleik of that body. No such clerk has ever been had before, nor is there any more need lor It now than during the last twenty years. It is a mere sinecure. It Is currently reported here that Senator Watts refused to vote for Si mon for President of the Senate unless his son, who now holds this new position, was provided for. The old man Watts feels that at last he is in a rich harvest field,and he proposes that he and his friends shall feast while abundance lasts. Economy.
