The Final Outcome of the Elec-
tons.
An Enumeration of the Victors
and the Victims.
General Gossip Pertaining to the
Tidal Wave.
Election Results SUNNI arized.

1t is extremely difficult for the aver
age citizen of either party to return 70
business and let election matters drop.
The verdict WAS 80 overwhelming and
unanimous that I'll classes are trying to
figure out what it meant. The result
gives the democrats twenty two gov
ernors out of the thirty eight in the
states, and the control of the
congress of the United States. 1t
gives the republicans the United States
senate and executive.
Personnel OF the New House.
THE MISSING AND THE NEW FACES.
The house of representatives will be
almost entirely a new body. 1t is in
teresting TO observe the Thorough shak-
ing up that body has undergone. The
members of the next congress will be
mostly new men; of the 325 there be.
ing us, or more than halt, who
are not members of the present
house. Two of these have served in
the United States senate, and half
dozen or so have been members in
previous congresses. From the present
returns it appears that of the mem bers
of the present house sixty-seven re-
publicans are elected and seventy three
democrats. The republicans will miss
the presence of Page, Aldrich, Orth,
McCoid, White of Kentucky, Grape,
Jay Hubbell, Dunnell, Robson, Nc.
Cook, Crowley, Young, Butterworth,
Amos, Townsend, Ward, Moore OF
Tennessee, and Pound. The demo.
cratic side of the house will scarcely
recognizable. Among the
FAMILIAR FACES THERE MISSING
will be those of Phelps, Alexander H.
Stephens, Speer, the Singletons, Sparks,
Proctor Knott, Gibson, Ladd, Murch,
McLane, Manning, Hooker, Bland,
Miles Ross, Hardenberg, Bliss, Ben
Wood. Flower. Klotz, Whitthorne, At
kins, Jones, of Texas, Ben Wilson and
Gen. Bragg. In nearly all the COM
mittees about half the members have
been carried away by the food. OF
the 81 chairmen, 90 have been re- elect
cd. Some of the "a not re. elected were
not renominated and the remainder
were beaten at the polls. Among the
chairmen who will retire to private
life are the following: Page, commerce
committee; Grape, banking and cur
rency; Williams, foreign affairs;
Pound, public lands; Burrows, terri
tories; Townsend, of Ohio, railways aud
canals; Van Vorhis, mines and
mining; Shallenberger, public build
iugs; Hazelton, Pacific rail
ways; Young, patents; Crowley,
claims; Pacheco, private land claims;
Neal, District of Columbia; Orth, civil
service reform. Messrs. Kelley, Calk-
ins, Hiscock, Reed, Bingham, Haskell
and Browne, chsirmen of the commit
tees on ways and means, elections, APP
preparations, judiciary, postotfices, In.
dian affairs and pensions. in the order
named, were preserved, and with them
the chairmen of sixteen other commit
tees, some Of them merely ornamental.
OF the eleven members of the
COMMITTEE ON civic SERVICE REFORM,
there have been reelected only Messrs.
kasson and Horr, republicans, and
Tucker and Curtin, democrats. Only
five of the twelve members of the In
dian affairs committee and only four of
the eleven members of the committee
on banking and currency. The COM
merce, ways and means and appropri-
alton committees were more fortunate.
Seven of the eleven in the first named
will survive. Mr.. Kelley will be ac-
companied in the next congress by eight
of his twelve fellow members or the
ways and means committee, and only
five of the fifteen members of the COM
mittee on appropriations will retire
from public life. Among the promi-
nent republican members OF
the present house who will be in the
next are Speaker Kieier, Calkins and
Browne of Indiana, Wait of Connect
cut, Henderson and Cannon Of Illinois,
Kasson of Iowa, Anderson, Haskell
and Ryan of Kansas, Reed and Ding
ley of Maine, Rice and Robinson of
Massachusetts, Horr of Michigan,
Washburn and Strait of Minnesota,
Mckinley and Taylor of Chic, Bing-
ham, O'Neil Miller, Kelley and Bayne
of Pennsy " snia. Hitchcock and
Ketcham of New York and Lynch of
Missippi. Of the democrats will be
Randall of Pennsylvania, Rosecrans of
California, Hammond and Blount of
Georgia, Springer, Morrison and Town
shend of Illinois, Holman and Cobb of
Indana, Carlisle, Blackburn and
Thompson of Kentucky, Morse OF
Massachusetts, Tucker of Virginia,
Mills and Reagan of Texas, Kenna of
West Virginia, Deuster of Wisconsin,
Robinson, Cox and Hewitt of New
York, Ben LeFevre of Ohio and Gov
Curtin of Pennsylvania. The demo
Gratis in the next house will control
twenty-five states, so that the action of
the house could easily be predicted if
the people should fail to elect a presi-
dent and it should become the duty of
the house to elect one.
WHO WILL BE SPEAKER?
There is already considerable talk
among democrats as to who shall have
the offices under the next house Of
Representatives. 1t is altogether likely,
from present indications, that IA inter
esting fight will be precipitated over
the speakership. Three candidates
