MINISTERIAL FUNCTIONS
Gen. Clark Calls His Powers as Clerk Of
The House.
Thinks the Majority Will Not be Over
Five Either Way

WAsHISGroS, Nov. l6.
Gen Clark. clerk Of the House, believes
that leo democra have been elected and
SIX districts are in doubt. This calculation
is based upon the assumption that Wilson
dem. is elected in Virginia. The doubtful
districts in Clark's estimation are the lst
California. l0rb Kentucky. 2nd North Caro-
lima, ard lst. 81 and 4th of West Virginia
These districts he sets down as doubtful De-
cause they are claimed by both parties on
msjorities so small that the Uficisl conni
must be awaited to determine the result.
In the case of Bacon, dem of New York,
reported TO have been defeated by eighty
msjoriry. Gen. Clark e1pee-s that contest
will ensue. lie is conf lent that the ma jori
" in the n .xt House will not be over i've
either way. Relative 10 the functions Of the
clerk in the organ Ration of the new House
and the power he is supposed to be able 10
exercise in seating or unsesting members.
Gen. Clark says his duties are liked by the
statute, and are purely ministerial If a
member elect preseuis a proper certificate OF
election his name will be placed On the roll
and not otherwise.
There cannot be duplicate certificates,
dual state governments, as there
have been in times past In the s-u b the
clerk said that from the official records be-
fore HIM, it appeared that the republicans
have ele tied a majority of one in tue nexi
house. The certificates art usually lOng
time coming in, as they are not issued I'LL
some time ter the official returns are made
public. In the case Of Missouri, this does
not take place till January. In many other
States the date is equally remote from elec
ton day.
