WASHINGTON, Nov. 3.-Major Rich
ard n. Sylvester, managing editor of
he Post, in an interview with THE GA
ZETTE correspondent this evening, said
that judging from reports he had received
the next house would be Democratic by
a good majority.
my Information, said Major Syl-
vester. lis that there will oe general
shaking up all around. Mckinley will
be defeated and Cannon will have q very
close shave. In Messach usetts the Demo-
Gratis will gain, and it is possible that
they may elect the governor. In Iowa.
Wisconsin and Michigan the Democrats
appear to have the lead and will make
gains in those states. The situation in
Pennsylvania is
VERY MUCH MIXED.
The Republicans are straininR every
nerve TO elect Delamater and they are
willing to sacrifice several members of
congress in order to defeat Pattison. |
can not recall the time when so much in
terest has been taken in a congressional
election in en- off year. II looks to me
that the Democrats are better organized
and more alive TO the situation than they
wer" two years ago. Tomorrow will wit
ness grand victory for the Democ-
racv.
Mai. Sylvester is a conservative Dem
ocrat and one of the best informed news
naper men here at the national capital.
Everybody is
TALKING ELECTION
Tonight. The feeling in the air Is that
the Republicans will meet their Waterloo
Tomorrow. The Star tonight prints
statement to the effect that the house
will he Democratic by about thirty-seven
.psSpfffy. The Star says: By talks with
sfle most conservative Democrats TO he
found who have been watching the cam
paign, and by closely scanning the re-
,orts from several districts where there
are contests, it appears that the Demo-
rats are likely 10 gain one member in
Alabama, Arkansas one, California one,
Connecticut two, Massachusetts one.
Iowa two, Kansas two, Kentucky one,
Naryian two, Michigan two, Missouri
two, NJ nnesDta one. New Hampshire
one, New York Two. South Carolina one.
ohio seven, Pennsylvania two, North
Caroline one, Tennessee one, Illinois
bue, fHeula tWop w u one.
In Arkansas two Democrats were
urned out of this congress on contests
and it might be>exnerted naturally that
rhev would he returned, making a gain
Of TWO from the way the delegation now
stands, but Is is feared that Mr.. Breck-
inridge Is
GOING TO BE DEFEATED.
IG louisiana the Democrats expect to
Il al. l,uf
they are go NC TO lose one man. so no
gain is counted there. A gain of two
and loss of one in Illinois are expected
nv Illinois, making net gain of one.
Massachusetts Democrats have expected
a gain of two in that state, hut the ILL
mass of Andrew places his district in
doubt and thev therefore claim hut one
as gain. Ewart. Republican. will
probably be reelected in North Caro-
lima. and in West Virginia there ia liable
to he s,andoff. The Democrats in
Virginia, New York and Iowa expect
more than they claim. Expectations
from a rock-ribbed Republican state like
Iowa
HAVE TO BE DISCOUNTED
by the Democrats. but they feel morally
certain of gain of two there. Rhode
her. 1t appears from this that the DEM
ocrats are liable to make gain of thirty
seven. They will almost certainly lose
two in Indiana and one in Delaware.
This would give them net gain OF thir-
ty- four on these figures. The Republic
cans gain two memb which the Demo-
Gratis do not lose. one from Idaho and
one from Wyoming. making the total
membership OF the house 1872. There are
now l54 Democrats in the house. A net
gain of thirty -four woul give them 1873
in the next house. This would give them
g majority of forty-four.
