(hic) eighty-five votes, a-and 8 elected" This
was the kind Of consolation that the speakers
audience needed, and they cheered as loudly as
their tired condition would allow.
There are two facts established by Tuesdays
elections. First, that General Garfield Is elected
president by two hundred and nineteen electoral
votes, and second
REPUBLICAN HOUSE
has been elected, by from four to six majority
Full returns have not been received concerning
the legislature of California, but it ia believed
that the Republicans will also have control Of the
senate, after the fourth Of March next, through
the casting vote OF Vice-President Arthur The
election Of a Republican house OF representatives
is Of the utmost Importance to the business inter
ests Of the country at this time, and is source of
the greatest congratulation to all Republicans. II
Congressman Frye OF Maine is not elected to sue
coed Hannibal Hamlin in the senate, he will quite
probably be the speaker Of the next house. He
has had long experience as representative, is
one Of the abest members OF the present house,
and thoroughly versed in parliamentary law.
Should he be elected to the senate the speaker
ship will be likely to fall to Hon. John A. Kasson
Of Iowa, who will be one OF the ablest leaders OF
second to none Among the new members elected
are Ex-Governor Curtin of Pennsylvania, and
General W. s. Rosecrans OF California, both by
the Democrats The more prominent committees
will probably have the following charmen, should
Mr.. Frye be elected speaker: appropriations,
Kasson of Iowa; ways and means. Conger of
Michigan; elections, Keller Of Ohio; banking and
currency, Grape of Massachusetts, commerce,
O'Neill Of Pennsylvania Pacific railroads, Har-
mer OF Pennsylvania; post-ofiices and post roads,
Ketchum Of New York; judiciary, Reed of Maine,
military affairs, McCook OF New York; naval af-
fairs, Harris of Massachusetts, pensions, Joyce
OF Vermont foreign affairs Rice of Massachu-
sets, Indian affairs. Pound of Wisconsin, public
lands, Washburn OF Minnesota. The belief among
Republicans is that President-eect Garfield will
call the house in extra session on the fifth OF
March next for organi zation, and the senate as
is always the CUSTOM to confirm his cabinet and
such other nominations az he may have to make.
THE NEw SENATE
will have an unusual number OF new men, some
Of whom are yet to be elected. In Maine, either
Senator Hamln will be reelected, or Congress
man Frye will be his successor. In Connecticut,
General Joseph Hawley will be undoubtedly
the successor Of Senator Eaton. New York il
likely to send Congressman Levi P, Morton; New
Jersey ex-Secretary George NJ. Robson; Penn
sylvania, ex-Speaker Gausha A. Grow; Indiana,
ex-Treasurer John c.. New; Michigan, Senator
Baldwin; Wisconsin, Hon. Z. D. Reyes; Califor-
MIA, Hon. John F. Miller In Ohio 1t is now stated,
