The Gain In Congress.

New YORK, Nov. s.-The Sun says: The
late and now almost complete returns
from the congressional districts show
that the Democratic majority in the next
house will be equal to almost one-half of
the entire membership, and eighteen
states will be without single Republican
representative. Several heretofore strong
Republican states are left entirely with
out Republican representation. and there
are but three Republicans elected from
the south. The estimates of the morn
ing papers on the complexion of the next
congress, with the exception of the Trib-
une, very nearly agree. The Herald makes
it 141, World 145 Times 153, Tribune 100.

! doubt, neither party having majority
for governor, End both parties claiming
the legislature.
The New York legislature is one Dem
ocratic on joint ballot, which will put a
Democrat in Evarts' place.

California is generally 10000 Repub-
lican.
Both state committees in Ohio have is
sued addresses coDgratulating their adj

Hit and Taylor. Payson was defeated.
Gen. Bragg is distinctly q candidate
| for United States senator from Wiscon-
| sin.
Morris, Dem, for governor of Con-
necticut has but twenty-four majority on
the face of the returns. There will be q
hard fight in the Legislature over the
| question, as the senate is Democratic and
the house Republican, and the latter will
certainly dispute Morris election.
