FIFTY FIRST CONGRESS.
A PROBABLE REPUBLICAN MAJORITY
IN BOTH HOUSES.

che Republicans Have Most Likely se-
cured Control of the National Govorn-
ment-Whero the Republicans Gained
Complied from Latest Returns.
GChicago sp1ciall
Returns from the Congressional contests
show that the Republicans have secured
full control of thu National Government,
increasing their majority in the Senate,
and establishing majority in the lower
house. The Legislature Of Delaware is
Republican by Oh joint ballot, which
will result In the election of Republican
United States Senator to succeed Sauls-
bury and in the retirement of Secretary
Bayard to private life, for time at least
IL the Republicans of West Virginia have
secured the Legislature Of that State, as
claimed, Republican successor o. Kelna
will be chosen.
In the lower house OF the present Con-
gress the strength OF the parties is: Demo-
Gratis, l68; Republicans, l53; Indepen-
dents, 4. The returns so fur received in
dicate, granting doubtful districts to the
Democrats, that the lower house of the
Fifty first Congress will stand: Repub-
licans, l66; Democrats, 1853; q Repul lican
majority of z. 1t seems likely that this
Republican majority will lie increased
rather than ,minished.
Several Congress onal districts are very
close and it may require an Official cou 1T
to determine who is elected in them. lr-
regularities in ballots east for Carli lie in
the Sixth Kentucky District are alleged,
and 1t is said that an attempt will be made
to have such irregular lllots cast out, but
khn al.a.. .rxHN NltA.e sa ,nk IN
large enough 10 elect his opponent il they
are declared illegal. In several other dis
tricts, where the election is close, contests
are likely to be made by the defeated
members.

California, L; Connecticut, /; Iowa, 2;
Louisiana, ]; Maryland L; Michigan, 2;
Minnesota, 3; Missouri, 2; Nebraska, ];
New Hampshire, /; Ohio, /; Pennsyl-
