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

Tho Republicans Have Most Likely Sc
cured Control of the National Govern
ment-where the Republicans Gained
Complied from Latest Returns.
tChicago spsciaLl
Returns from the Congressional contests
show that the Republicans have secured
full control of the National Government,
increasing their majority in the Senate,
and establishing q majority in the lower
house. The Legislature of Delaware is
Republican by On 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 Of kenna
will be chosen.
In the lower house of the present Con-
gress the strength Of the parties is: Demo-
Gratis, l6S; Republicans, 1853; Indepen-
dents. 4. The returns so far received in
dictate, granting doubtful districts to the
Democrats, that the lower house of the
Fifty-first Congress will stand: Repub-
hcans, l66; Democrats, l59; Republican
majority of Z. 1t seems likely that this
Republican majority will be increased
rather than diminished.
Several Congressional districts are very
close and it may require an official count
to determine who is elected in them. r.
regularities in ballots cast for Carlisle in
the Sixth Kentucky District are alleged,
and it is said that an attempt will be made
to have such irregular ballots cast out, but
the number of them is not, it is thought,
large enough TO elect his opponent if they
are declared illegal. In several other dis
tricts, where the election is close, contests
are likely to be made by the defeated
members.
The net gains of the Republicans are:
California, l.; Connecticut, i; Iowa, 2;
Louisiana, !; Maryland, /; Michigan, 2;
Minnesota, 3; Missouri, 2; Nebraska, j;
New Hampshire, /; Ohio, /; Pennsyl-
vania, /; Tennessee, /; West Virginia, /.
The net Republican losses are: Indiana, g.;
Kentucky, 2; New York, /; North Caro-
lima, 2; Virginia, 3.
