The j Legislature in strongly Uepublican. j The Republicans have elected all their Congressman in Pennsylvania except three. There will he 24 Republican majority in the next j Congress. (MGRBMN CEOSEN Republicans Will Control the House By Narrow Margin. DEMOCRATS MADE Bid QAIN9 To Obtain a Majority They Had to Secure 78 Votes In the North and West, and Latest Reports Leaves Them 16 Short, With 26 Districts to Be Heard From. Washington, Nov. s.—Although the i returns from the doubtful congression al districts were slow In arriving, the Indications are that the Republicans would control the next house of repre- | sentatives by a narrow margin. In j the present house, with a membership of 357, the Republicans have 41 ma- j Jority. Under the new apportionment \ the 58th house will consist of 386 mem bers, a majority of which Is 194. The 13 southern states, not counting West Virginia, but including Missouri, have 125 representatives. The Democrats have carried 116 of the districts and the Republicans probably five, two In ; Tennessee, one in Kentucky and two j In Missouri, with two in North Caro- ! i Una, one in Virginia and one In Ala- j ; bama doubtful, according to the latest i returns. To obtain a majority in the next j house it was necessary, therefore, for ! the Democrats to secure 78 votes in the north and west. In this territory they have at present 52 representatives. The latest returns indicate that this strength has been held, with the ex ception of one seat each from Idaho, Montana and Nevada, as to which the j ret\-ins are Inconclusive. Adding 49 to S 116 gives the Democrats 165. The returns show the Democrats have made a gatn of three in Pennsylvania, ! one In Nebraska, one in Delaware, one j In Wisconsin, two in Maryland, one in Colorado and probably four in New ' York, swelling to total to 178. This leaves them 16 short of a majority, ; with the result in five doubtful south ern districts to be heard from and 21 doubtful districts in the north and west to be heard from. The latest returns add one Democrat In New Jersey, one in Minnesota, one In Illinois, one in Alabama and two in North Carolina to the Democratic rep resentation, a total of six. But two of the gains credited to the Democrats in Pennsylvania should properly be set | down as Fusion Republicans, making the Democrats actually elected by the returns thus far received 184, with the doubtful districts in Minnesota hav ing gono Democratic, the one In Kan sas Republican, Kansas having gone ! solidly Republican, and the on*? In lowa i Republican. Three of the four doubt i ful southern districts went Democratic.

THE UNITED STATES SENATE It Will Be Republican By About Six teen Majority. Washington, Nov. 5. The next United States senate will be Republi can by at least 16 majority, against the present majority of 20. The pres ent senate contains 54 Republicans and 34 Democrats, in a total of 90 seats, there being two vacancies from Dela ware, where the Republican lugislaturu failed to elect. The terms of 30 sen ators expire with the present eon gross. There is also a vacancy from Michigan, caused by the death of Sen ator McMillan. Of these 31 seats to be filled, not including the two from Delaware, but including the McMillan vacancy, 19 are now Republican and 12 are Democratic, Wellington, ol Maryland being classified as a Repub lican and Harris, of Kansas; Mc- Laurin, of South Carolina, and Teller, of Colorado, as Democrats. Four Demo crats and three Republicans, therefore, already are elected, leaving 16 Repub lican and eight Democratic seats tc be filled. The legislature In Oregon Is Repub lican. Including Delaware, therefore, 25 senators will be elected by the legis latures chosen yesterday. Of these th 6 Republicans carried 13 and the Demo crats seven. This insures 52 Republi cans and 34 Democrats in the next sen ate. The result of the contests, owing to the meagre returns, is still In doubt In Nevada, Idaho, Utah and Colorado, with the chances favoring the election of Democratic legislatures in Colorado, Idaho and Nevada, and a Republican legislature In Utah. If those probabili ties should be realized the senate will stand 53 Republicans and 37 Demo crats, a loss of four majority for the Republicans, compared with the pres ent political division. Against thisT abnormal "situation {Sen ator McLaurlu appeals. He does not ask the white tneu of South Carolina to Join the Republican party. He rec ognizes that the social prejudice against the very name Is too strong. But he does ask tbem not to exclude from their consideration the most Im portant and vital economic issues of the day merely because the Republican party first took up these Issues and made tbem national. That Senator McLaurln will succeed In thus reorganizing the Democratic party of his state la doubtful. He has tlie right idea, but appears to lack the force to realize It with himself as lead er. Yet his Is an Idea that In time must prevail, and, though be may experi ence personal defeat, his work will live on and be fruitful In the end.—Chicago Inter Ocean. Campbell "The Merchant" !
