Gentlemen connected with the House of Representatives who have figured up the results of the recent Congressional elections give 147 Republicans who were elected on the square Republican ticket. This is majority of one over all. Then they count Hyatt Smith, who ran as an independent candidate against Chittenden of New York; Brumen, the Greenback Re publican from Pennsylvania, and four Green packers from Missouri as sure to act with the Republicans, which will give 153 Republican votes for the organization of the next House against 40 Democrats, assuming that Ladd and Murch of Maine, and Jones of Texas, will act with the Democrats. There will be in the Forty-seventh Congress fifteen members who are not members of the Forty-sixth, but who have served in previous Congresses namely, Hewitt of Alabama, Finley of Flori- da, Kasson of Indiana White of Kentucky, Darral of Louisiana Strait of Minnesota, Van !
