Thrown Into the House-Part Which the
Farmers Alliance Will Play.
The printed list of the members elect
of the next House furnishes some inter
esting figures and deductions says Louis
| Garthe in the Baltimore american. The
| list is unofficial, but it is accurate. Of
! the ;52 members there are 237 Demos
Gratis 81 Republicans and 8 members of
| the Farmers Alliance who will not go
/ into either party caucus. There are
other members in Southern States who
were elected on the Alliance PLATFORM
| but they will vote on party questions
with the Democrats
CHANGING over the list by States it APP
pears that there are of the "A States no
less than Ii with solid Democratic dele
cations, and IL more where the majority
of the delegation is Democratic. There
are 10 States with solid Republican del
egations, and with Republican MAORI
ties. Of the remaining 3 States, 2 have
Alliance majorities, while in the one re-
naming State, Minnesota, there are 3
Democrats. Republican and / Alliance
man, so that the delegation on vote is
Democratic. Summing up, the Demo
Gratis control the vote of 80 States, the
Republicans 10, the Alliance 2-total A.
There are then Is solid Democratic
delegations and 10 Republican. The IS
solid Democratic delegations include
membership of 106; the 10 solid Republi
can delegations total membership of
Ia. The frightfui disparity lies in the
fact that of the 10 solid Republican dele
cations, of them-Colorado Idaho, Ne
vada, North Dakota, Oregon, Washing
ton and Wyoming-consist of l member,
who is a solid Republican. There re-
mains solid States, of which 2, South
Dakota and Vermont have 2 members
each, and the State of Maine, with
Messrs. Reed, Boutele, Dingley and Mil
iken, form a very solid delegation of 4.
The solid Democratic States are APP
