its author, who spurns our friendly

Ellsworth American., 1876-11-16


Our list of Congressman is not material
ly changed. Mr.. b. F. Marsh, Republican,
proves to be elected in the Tenth District.
of Illinois. Yesterday we conceded the
district to the Democrats. The Democrats
claim to have chosen their candidate In the
Third District of Missouri by one majority
The two changes counterbalance each 9TH
er. and concedng them both. the member
ship of the house remains unchanged as
printed yesterday-l43 Republicans and
l47 Democrats. IL should be added that
the Republicans OF the Sixth District of
Missouri claim to have elected Mr.. Havers
by about 200 majority. Should their claim
prove correct. the IIonse would stand. rs
at present advised IA Republicans and ll6
Democrats. New Hampshire would then,
with ito three members, decide to which
party should be given the control Of the
House, should not later returns make other
changes in the list Of the members already
chosen.
