Since the election the republicans haze lost,
including Lapham, five members, namely
Conger, of Michigan !; Frye, of Maine, and
Morton, Miller and Lapham, Of New York,
and gained one in the election of a anccossor
to Conger, thus leaving the republican loss
four. This would leave the present republic
can membership l47, or the exact number
necessary to constitute IA quorum over a tuli
house of 293 membels. Since the election
the democrats have lost two members by
death, Wood, of New York, and O'Connor,
of South Carolina. O'Connor's election is
disputed by his republican competitor, Mack
ey, and all the testimony was completed be-
fore O'Connor's death.
Deducting these two vacancies, Wood aud
O'Connor, from the democratic members,
leaves their number 1923. The nine
members classified as greenbackers
are Murch and Ladd, of Maine; Ha-
z~eltine, Rice, Burrows and Ford of Missouri:
Hyatt Smith, of New York Brumnl, Of
Pennsylvania; and Jones, of Texas. OF these
nine, Hazeltine, Rice, Burrows and Brumm,
were elected as greenback republicans. each

dates. Ladd, Murch, Ford and Jones were
members of the last congress, and may be re-
garded as distinctive greenbackers with dem

democratic greenbacker, but cannot with any
degree of accuracy, be classified as between
The two great parties. The two readjusters are
also uncertain as to political identity, but it is
very probable that they will be induced to act
with the democrats.

Upon tho Bonanza State, Materially and
Politically.
From the GlObe-Democraf.

TFolh Tie 6lODe-DeM0crat.
Hon. George William Cassidy,
member elect of Congress from the
State of Nevada, was in the city on
Sunday visiting his brothers., A. C.
and VIM. Cassidy, and left on an
early train yesterday morning to
visit the scene and friends of his
childhood at Mexico, Mo-, before as
Stunning his new duties and response
bilities at the great nations capital.
Twenty-Five years ago Mr.. Cassidy
left Mexico, q lad Of 16, in search of
healthy and fortune, and now returns
yet in early manhood with health,
We nth and distinction.
The gentleman was found at the
Union Depot and submitted to a ten
minutes interview.
"What about the of your
State? ?" asked the reporter; sit has
been said that Nevada is retrograd-
ing?"
ut was the partial exhaustion of
the Bonanza mines which gave that
impression to the general public, but
the idea that we have lost in popula-
ton or general wealth is a mistaken
one. The last census taken by the
State shows that we have gained TO-
600 population in five years, and the
wealth of the country has not de-
clined in any respect save in the phe-
nomenal yield Of the Bonanxas, and
those mines are yet yielding in pay
ing quantities. Besides the mining
interest we have the best grazing IA
%cilities in the world. The mountain
bunch grass is the most excellent
and nourishing food for cattle.
There is a succulent seed which fat
tens thoroughly and quickly and en-
ables US to furnish beef to San Fran
cisco of a quality that cannot be ex-
celled on the Western coast, and of
late considerable quantities have
come east to Chicago and St. Louis
SO far as the bullion yield is con
cerned, We furnish about S50,000,-
600 per annum, and the entire Pa
ciic slope $75 1000, 600, which will
give an idea of the proportion Of
the wealth we supply"
"What is the social status of the
State?
"The people are composed for the
most part of enterprising, active and
intelligent men who have had the
nerve and sagacity to make their W
fortunes, and the census returns
show the highest grade of intelli-
gence reported from any State, and
the figures show them to be richest
per capita of any people in the
world"
land politics, what of that all inn
portant topic?"
HWpll Won Ern- f ~~-~ 49,
tor Jones who stands nearest the
throne, and for the sake of Western
interests we are glad that we have so
able and influential a spokesman at
the ear Of the Executive. Politically
the State, however, is Democratic by
about 1000. Hancock carried the
State by 900, but my majority was
1,4OO."
"You are neishbors to Utah what
about poIygamy?'
"We have very positive convic-
ton on that subject. We hope to
secure action on the part of Congress
looking to the ultimate removal Of
that disgrace from our vicinity, if
not its total extinction" At this
point the train bell rang and the
young Congressman, with his brilliant
wife, was hurried away.
Mr.. Cassidy occupies in Congress
a position possibly only in the repre-
s~entation of a small State. Nevada
sends to the Senate two members,
and but one representative t. the
House.
