The Next House OF Rcprese saiives.
WASHINGTON, June l3.-Since tho Re-
publican majority in the House of Re
representatives. unseatsd three southern
Democrats who claimed to have been
elected, reports have reached Democra-
tic managers here Of great discourage
ment among southern Democrats. The
feeling seemed to be that If the Repub-
licans obtained majority in the next
House, they would proosed to unseat
every southern Democrat whose scat
was contested, and the consequence
would be candidates in the close dis
tricts could see very little encourage
ment for them to make Congressional
race. These reports excited no little
apprehension here, and after conferring
together the southern members deter
mined TO make thorough canvass, for
the purpose Of ascertaining, if possible,
what practical complexion Of the new
House will probably be. Two of the
members have made the canvass within
a few days, and a. the result of their
inquiries have figured on Q Democratic
majority Of ten in the next House. They
reach this conclusion BY counting on
sure gains, "a follows: In Connecticut,
South Carolina, Illinois. West Virginia
and California, one each; in Texas and
Pennsylvania, i've each; Indiana and
Ohio, three each; New York two, and
Missouri four. They expect TO make
other gains is such States a. Mass achu'
sets, Maine and New Hampshire, but
these do not enter into the figures on
which they base probable majority Of
ten. The only State in whicl they ex-
pcct loss is Nevada, and they think
the chances are that they will lose one
Republican there. Results as reached
by these gentlemen with figures as
given above have been sent b the vari-
ous State executive committees in the
south, in the hope Of restoring conf
denoe in that section.
