NARROW CONGRESSIONAL MARGIN Forty-two States Choose Representatives — Penny- packer Governor of Pennsylvania and Odell Re-Elected in New York—Ohio Republican. The final returns do not seriously alter the figures in the general re- sult. The Republican majority in Congress will be at least 22, and may reach 25, compared with 41 in the present house. The Republicans gained in Illfnois and Nebraska and added one congressman each in Kan- sas and Virginia. The Democrats gained in California, Kentucky, Mary- land, New York and Missouri and ad- ded one each in Iowa and Kansas. It is significant that in the Middle West, where the sentiment for tariff re- vision was considered a possible danger, the Republicans lost but one Representative, and that in Iowa, where the party was most outspoken platform. Pennsylvania re- turns 28 Republicans and 4 Demb- crats, as against 27 Republicans and 3 Democrats now. On the State contests California is believed to have been retained by the Republicans with a majority of some- thing over 2,000. Colorado is claimed and ex-Senator Wolcott is "° SAMUEL W. PENNYPACKER, Governor-Elect of Pennsylvania. hurrying back to enter the campaign against Senator Teller. Nebraska is safely Republican. The Democrats appear to have cavtured Rhode Is- land. In New York Odell’s plurality is about 10,000. Tom Johnson saved Cleveland from the wreck and is out in active warfare against McLean for control of the Ohio Democracy in the next national convention. One of the most curious results is- in Delaware, where the Republicans have won the Legislature, but find themselves in the same position as before. Addicks still controls enough members to prevent the election of anyone to the Senate. The net re- sult of his influence has been to give the Democrats a Congressman. A significant feature of the general election returns is the way in which the western states lost to the Repub- lican party on the silver issue are changing. The Dakotas, Wyoming, Montana, Utah, Washington, Nebras- ka, and Colorado have ranged them- selves in the Republican column again. Returns from forty-two states show that the next congress will have a Re- publican majority. The membership of the house is 386. The next con- gress will stand: Republican, 204; Democrat, 179, with three, the Eighth Tennessee and the First and Second California districts to hear from yet. In Pennsylvania Samuel W. Penny- packer’s plurality is about 135,000. In New York the returns indicate that Governor Odell has been re-elect- ed by a plurality ranging between 11,000 and 12,000.
