New-Yorl was the only exception to the

don't mean in the bar-rooms, but in the fac

the Democrats gained control of the House for
the first time since the war; their majority was
"A; in the next House it dropped to 10; in the
next it remained about the same-22 and in
the XLVIIth Congress- the fourth in the

XLVIIIth Congress the Democrats regained
control of the House with 81 majority; III the

it will be Republican.
