Gen. Clarke, the clerk Of the House, says he
does not see how 1t is possible to tell the COM
plexion of the new House until the result Of
the official count is announced in every con-
gressional district. 1t is SO now that few
votes in one or two districts may change it
either way, and he is not ready to claim the
House for his party or concede it to the other.
He certainly has hopes that the democrats will
have a majority of one or three. He says it is
almost impossible for the majority to be more
than three either way.
According to his best information he says,
the democrats are sure of 159 members, and
the republicans are sure Of about or nearly as
many. The rest are in doubt. AS to West
Virginia the democrats do not know whether
they will have one or four Representatives. In
Michigan there is doubt about the election Of
Fisher, dem. The result in the first California
district is still in doubt. There is
recount in Rayner's district in Maryland that
may result in his election, and it is not alto
gether certain, he says, that a republican has
been elected in Louisiana. He says he can't
tell, and he knows the republicans can't tell
how the count in these close districts will turn
out. The only safe thing to say, he thinks. is
that the majority will not be over three either
way.
The officials of the House generally are in
doubt, and very anxious about the result.
Several of them make estimates every day, re-
sulting always in democratic majority of
three. But this was their estimate at time
when it seemed certain that the republicans
would have o majority of at least six.
