Some OF the Democrats are OF the opinion that
the Republicans did not get majority. The
Republican assumption Is that the attempt OF
the democrats 10 hgure out majority is an
effort to steal the House" The Republican
assertion to title to a majority is put forth as
II II We're all rlgnt and proper, and not to be
questloned. Representative thompson, OF
ONO, IN conversation about the doubtful
condition OF the next House, declared to the
writer that the Republicans would not con-
sent 10 the seatlng OF any Representative not
clearly elected even II ne brought certlh-
cate from Governor. Ii an attempt was

making Democratlc majority, the kepubh-
cans would Wltnoraw' organize another House,
and call upon PRESIDENT Harrison to recog-
