New YORK. Nov. 3-The Tribune will say:
1t does not vet appear that either parry can
claim q clean majority for the next house From
about dozen districts the information is either
so meagre or so conflicting that the claims OF
earnest workers must be received with some al
lowance. In several districts the ofTic al count
will be required TO determine the result. But
the probabilities indicated by the latest dis
patches are that the few members elected dis
tinctIveiy as labor candidates may have the
balance OF power.
Of the house is imperled, IL not altogether lost,
and the question Of the reason and the RESPONSE
bility for the change is one that seriously con-
disposition S q the federal oces and qGsrres
and dissppointments over the offices
have contributed to the defeat OF sew
reason for the losses in a majority of cases lies
deeper than this There IL no Disgusting the
fact that { he country has been greatly disap-
pointed at the conspicuous failure of the last
and the present congress TO do what was ex-
pected of it.
The Herald says:
The house of representatives chosen on Tues
day, and which will assemble in December,
Republicans and five Labor men. The Demo-
Gratis win have therefore q clear majority over
all Of eight
NEW YORK, Special Telegram, Nov. 2-In
the great triangular struggle for the mayor
atty Of New York. Mr.. Hewitt, the candidate
of the united Democracy. is elected by .
plurality of about q, 900 votes The Henry
George vote is surprise. Out Of total
vote of less than go, 900, the workingman's
candidate polled about $4,000, while Mr.
Roosevelt, the Republican nominee, has bus
little over 90. 1000
In the state SO far as heard from. the
Tribune claims gain OF three
seats-one in the 0tsego district one
in the Utica (Conkling's home) and one in
Gov Hills. county of Chemung The Re,
publicans have probably carried the assem-
bly, by good majority. The Democrats are
claiming q gain of several congressman in
Massachusetts,, but this is not confirmed
In Massachusetts,, the vote for governor
is very close. Indications favor Ames,
Rep. The Boston Traveller claims his
election by 5000 majority.
In California, partial returns from all
the counties in the state outside OF San
Francisco county give the Republicans
majority.
In Ohio the chairman OF the Ohio Re
publican State committee claims the State
by $4,000 and fifteen. congressman sure,
with two districts doubtful
In Nebraska the Republican state ticket,
headed by Gen. John NJ. Thayer, has been
Laird, present member Of Congress from
the Second district, and G. w. f. Dorsey,
congressman from the Third district, both
republicans have been reelected.
In Michigan, the returns show about the
usual results. Republican elect by a small
majority.
In New Hampshire one-third OF the towns
show a republican loss on the popular vote
OF about 200, as compared with the vote
OF 1854. This does not include cities and
several Of the larger towns in which republi-
can losses were expected. The indications
are that there is no choice for governor by
the people, that Mckinney, Dem, is elected
to congress in the First district and Calm
ger, rep, in the Second.
In Pennsylvania, Gen. Beaver, Rep) is
elected Govener by about 10000 mai. In
Connecticut there is apparently no election
OF governor by hepeople. The legislature
is probably Republican by twenty or
thirty majority, thus insuring the re-elec-
ton OF Hawiey.
In Kentucky, a Cincinnati special says:
Speaker Carlisle, although probably eel
ected, was beaten in Covington by about
1000, having carried the town two years
ago by majority OF about 900.
In Indiana, not enough returns havo
been received to make any estimate upon
the state. The best Judgment is the Demo-
Gratis have carried the state by reduced
plurality and that the legislature is in
doubt.
In Utah, John s. Caine has walk-over
for delegate against the Republican candi-
date, William NJ. Ferries.
In Wyoming. James McCary is reelected
delegate to congress without opposition,
the Democrats generally working for him
In Missouri Chairman Shields, OF the
Democratic state central committee, said
that he felt confident the Democrats had
carried twelve OF the fourteen COMPRESSION
districts and possibly more than that
number.
In Virginia, the republicans have made
gain OF three congressman in that state, ac-
cording &c returns the accuracy of which
the democrats here admit.
