Mr. Bellamy is in Washington and
is confident thet he will be per
mitted to retain his seat. 1 Mr.
Dockery, the contestant, is equally
confident. Of course the seating
recently of Messrs. Aldrich, of Al
abama and Wise, of Virginia; in
creases the Republican majority
in the House, which is now about
fifteen, and makes it more diffi
cult therefore for the Democracy
in the House to overcome the ad-,
verse vote. It is expected, how-
ever, tnat when the case is called
up that there will be several Re
publican members who will absent
themselves from the house with
out pairing, taking this course;

of the retention of Mr. Bellamyin
his seat. It is not believed that
a single: republican 'vote, will be
cast in the House directly for Mr.
Bellamy, btit if enough Republi
cans be brought to absent themsel
ves, the result would be the same.
It is .this upon which Mr.Bellamy,
and. his friends are basing their
hopes principally. In any event
the vote on his case will be one of
the closest which has been cast in
the House during the present' ses
sion. . ' ' -
