In yesterdays elections the Republicans
experienced the usual fate of the party in
power in the middle of its administration. 1t
has been the uniform fate of all parties in
power to lose ground in these congressional
elections, and the Republicans have found
history repeating itself with an unpleasant,
though not an unexpected regularity. Ten
or eleven districts had been gerrymandered
so as to become almost positively sure for
the Democrats. This made change of 20
or moro votes. With the usual losses of an
off year added there will be ensured to the
Democrats large majority in the next
House.
The loss in congressman in New England
does not seem likely to put the Republicans
much behind the position in which they
found themselves after the election in 1886.
