REPUBLICAN GAINS IN CONGRESS.
1t will hardly take the official count to
determine the political complexion of the
House of Representative of the Fifty first
| Congress. The Republicans made snrpris-
| ing sweep of the city of st. Louis, and car
RED three Democratic districts. They have
carried, apparently. three close districts in
Michigan. now represented by Democrats,
and have captured the districts of Weaver
and Anderson, Dem, in Iowa. Jehu
Baker, Rep, is beaten in MorrisOns dis
trict. The Republicans have carried the
Cleveland district in Ohio and three Mime
sofa districts now represented by Democrats.
in Tennessee. The Democrats have gained
two or three districts in Virginia. There are
enough doubtful districts unreported in
various states to decrease the Republican
majority three or four. The New York dele
CATION is unchanged. The Republicans elect
Stivers over Bacon in the Orange district,
and the Democrats Wiley over Crowley in the
Niagara district.
NEW YORK STATE.
The scattering and revised returns from
New York state all favor Harrison. The
most Important revision to be made in the
Sun, table is the shifting of Rensselaer, coun-
ty from the Democratic to the Republican
side. Troy city gave great Democratic
gains, but the country men who live without
the Trojan walls kept up the Republican
gains shown everywhere else throughout the
rural districts Mr.. Harrisons plurality in
New York state is about 10000 All the
New York papers concede the state to him
and the people who bet their money on Cleve-
land are beginning to settle. The Albany Ar
gus, (Dem.) the state paper. gives Harrison
majority of 10 600 over Cleveland.
INDIANA GONE REPUBLICAN.
Indiana is now conceded to Harrison by a
plurality of from 5000 to 7,OO0 The Re
publicans are satisfied that the state has
been carried beyond any possibility of doubt.
This gains reportedin nearly everyprecinct are
maintained throughout the day. Reports
from $50 precincts give Republican ma
jority of 5,S12, which is an average gain of 8
to the precinct. This will give Harrison
gain of 10, $50 over 1854 and majority of
$500. Reports are alike from Republican
and Democratic districts and they report
Republican gains everywhere that assure an
even larger majority than was predicted if
they continue as noWrunning. Inthe counties
where losses were expected there have been
gains, and Marion county has more uiscour-
agement than all the remainder of the state,
SO far as the national ticket is concerned.
MICHIGAN, ILLINOIS AND CONNECTICUT.
Every fresh return from Michigan shows
Republican gain, and the plurality for Harri-
son may reach $4,000. That Illinois has
never been in doubt is attested by the fact
that she gives 10000 plurality for Harrison
Connecticut is surely Democratic. Revised
and trustworthy figures from nearly every
polling place show plurality Of 494.
THE RESULT IN ONO.

nal and Dispatch Offices at Columbus were

seemed to care little for the rain and mud
but stood anxiously awaiting the news, and
discussing it when it was received. Probably
the coolest and apparently the least interest
ed man in the city was Judge Thurman, who
spent his time in the same way he has done
for the past few years, quietly reading in his
library. He was free from opinions as to the
result and had not been paying much atten-
ton to the particulars of the election Being
asked for an expression ofhis opinion, said he
had nothing to say. The two state commit
tees are still receiving returns from the state
and are figuring up the gains and LOSSES
The Republicans are claiming a plurality of
from rs 1000 to 10000, and place their esti-
mates on more or less complete returns from
about half the counties in the state.
THE SOLID SOUTH DEMOCRATIC.
1t is needless to announce that all the
Southern states have stood by the democratic
New Jersey and Connecticut.
THE OTHER STATES AND TERRITORIES
Pennsylvania goes Republican by 5000
majority. The Republicans of North Caro-
lima, have most certainly elected congress
men from the Second and Fifth districts. Re-
turns indicate a large Democratic majority
in the legislature, which elects successor to
Senator Ransom. The returns also Indicate
the election of eight Democratic congressman
and three Repp blicans.
West Virginia is close: Twenty-Five coun-
ties: casting half the vote of the state show
Republican gains of 3 ,454. The same rela-
tive gain through the rest of the state would
make it Republican by 700 This is from
the chairman of the Republican state central
committee. Atkinson (Rep) elected over
Pendleton (Dem.) in the First district 600
majority.
Dakota goes strongly Republican, by prob
ably 30, 900, while Montana, which was demo-
cratic,now sends arepublican delegate to con-
gress, by 4, 1000 maturity.
