for Garfield of $4,000. One Republi-
can is gained in the delegation to Con-
gress.
KANSAS

900 for the Republicans, and sends one
Republican to Congress.
IOWA.

entire delegation of Republicans to Con-

The Greenbackers have nearly all died
OUT III IulS Sldte.
MINNESOTA
like every other Western state, settled
largely by New England people, gives
the Gar6elds ticket $4,000 majority,
and maintains her Republican standing
in Congress.
COLORADO.
Returns from half the state gives
majority of 2,840 for Garfield and
Arthur; the remainder of the state will
largely increase the majority.
CALIFORNIA
is still in doubt, claimed by both par
ties. though the latest dispatches give
it to the Republicans by small ma
jority. The Legislature is liable to be
Democratic, and in that event Demo
crat will be chosen to the United States
Senate in place of Booth.
NEVADA
has probably gone Democratic by few
hundred. There is much dissatisfaction
with Senator Sharon in that state, and
be may have thrown it over to the De-
mocracy.
completes the list of Pacific States, and
casts her vote for the Republican ticket
The above majorities and estimates
are the best attainable at this time, but
are not all correct. Enough is showr

ticket so strong that there will be nj
dispute or quarrel over it.
THE NEXT HOUSE.
Mr.. Mcpherson of the Congressional
Republican Committee estimates work
ing Republican majority of Twenty-Five

North Carolina one; three in Tennessee,
(raylor, Atkins and Young); two il
Alabama one in Louisiana, Darrell
two in Iowa one in Minnesota /; on
in Wisconsin; two in Missouri thre
in Pennsylvania; one in West Virgin
ia; two in Kentucky; one in Vermont
one 1n Oregon two in Indiana and ST
In Ohio. This makes a total of Repub
lican Congressman gained of 81. Frol
this deduct three losses in New Yor
and one loss in Nevada, which make
total net Republican gain of 81
There are now l3l Republicans in tt

and Greenbackers, or whatever the

TIE NEXT SENATE
The Republicans gained the Legis

will be able to tie the Senate and
