Outside OF New York aud Brooklyn.
: Republicans gain several thousand over
last wear. bat there is Democratic gain
{ OF > 299 N these two cities. As COM
pared with last vear the Prohibition
vote shows losses in some counties and
/ small gains in others, leaving the
! total about the same as last year.
Z The present Con SIes SiOnsl d.iel ioa
from New York stands Il Republicans
and IL Democrats. The new delegation
Is made up OF 10 Republicans and 10
Democrats The changes are: Repub-
llcans gain in the Thirteenth, Twenty
] thiri, Twenty fourth and twenty
eight dis rlcts and the Democrats gam
~ the Eighteenth aud Nineteenth. The
Nineteenth District is TO be contested
b. DR.. swinbuFne, Republican.
The TRIsUsE WILL SAY EDI-oRIALLY:
What a frightful mortality among
free trade leaders, Speaker Carlisle
beaten by labor candidate: Morrison
beaten by a Republican veteran cham
piOn of protection; Frank Hurd beaten
by Romeis; would there have been an
eud OF Democratic rejOicings If the Re
publican proiecuoniSts equally con
spIcuOus and influential hs1 been
beaten2 It dc es not yet ap-
pear that eitAsr party can eli IN clear
majority in she next house. From
about dozen districts inf rmatiOn is
either so meager or so conflicting that
the claims OF earnest work. IS must 10
received with some allOvaI &C. In sew
eral districts the official count viii
be necessary 20 determi the result
But the probabilities indicatrd by the
latest dispatches ore that the few mem
hra-a AL n aN9~ .1~
didates may have the balance of power.
The best of il is the crusniag Demo
cratic losses come Just when the free
traders and soft money Leaders sup
posed they were strongest in the south
and west. Revolving Democrat labOrerS
IN this city supported NJ. George, a
radical free trader, bet revolving DEM
Ocratic labOrers of Kentucky have
beaten Carlisle because he was u free
trader, and the miners OF Illinois have
beaten Morrison for the same reason.
THE WORLD WILL SAY:
The Democratic control of the
House is seriously imperiIed, if not al
together lost. and the question. reason
and responsibility for the change is one
that seriously concerns the fu-
ture OF the party. No doubt the
/ disposition of the Federal offices and
quarrels and disappointments over the
Offices have contributed to the defeat
of the several Democratic mem bers;
| but the real reason for the losses n q
majority of the cases lies deeper than
/ this. There Is no Disgusting the fact
that the country has been greatly dis
appointed at. the comparative failure
of the last and present COngrs IS 70 do
what was expected Of il. Taxes have
not been reduced; needed reforms
have not been advanced; long-delay ed
! Legislation required for the welfare Ct
! the country has persisted on the tles-
| People hoped for better things when the
! Democratic administration reinforced
the Democratic House. But in
! stead of this paralysis and in
action have continued; bat A.
cOmpensatiOns for all losses. If it shall
turn out that the Democrats have lost
control of the House, they will at least
be in better condition for the next
| Presidential canvass through being re-
lieYed OF the responsibility of legislation
/ Tn. Y would learn the necessity OF
union and harmony, and the Repub-
licans from being critics, and grum blerS
would be compelled to show their hand
| They need only 10 do that TO be ousted
/ again rs they were in 1882.
A MAJORITY OF EIsar.
