does not elect until next yseptamber This
will complete the 293 members Of which The
house is composed. In the present House,
California -is represented by two Democrats
and two Republicans. One Of these Demo:
Gratis was seated BY jtbe House on an, alleged
majority of four votes over the Republican
opponent. If, in September next, California
should elect two Democrats and two Republi-
cans, the new House will stand 14S Democrats
to 1874 Republicans, and eleven Greenbackers,
giving the Democrats q majority Of three
over both. 1t is known, however, that from
their former political affiliations, that eight Of
these Greenbackers will vote with the Demo
Gratis on all party questions, and three with
the Republicans. This will increase the Dem.
ocrats to 156, and the Republicans to 137,
leaving the Democrats with majority Of
nineteen, which is precisely the majority they
now have. The recent elections give the
Democrats majority in nineteen States, and
the Republicans majority in eighteen. If
the House should be called upon to elect the
next President, the Democrats would have a
majority Of one, supposing California equally
divided and unable to. vote; but if that State
should elect three Republicans in September,
then the election for President would result in
tie vote. 'H'- "'"'' " ''''"
