Connecticut western news., 1892-11-10

For Weaver-Nevada 3; Colorado, f. Total,
 Late reports indicate that the Democratic majority in the next national house of rep resentatives has been but little, if any, de- creased. In New York the Republicans appear to have elected but ten of the thirty four congressman, & Democratic gain of one. New Jersey and Connecticut have not apparently changed their present div ision of representation, except that the Democrats in New Jersey have gained to the additional number accorded by the new apportionment.
 The south has rolled up almost solid dele gations from every state. Alabama has an additional member in the Fifty-third con- gress, and it is Democratic gain; also Arkansas
 Georgia gains 8 new member and re- covers the district now represented by Wat son (Alliance member). The Republican gains are one in New Hampshire, eight in Ohio and one in Oregon. Although the Republicans carried Rhode Island on the presidential ticket, the reports are that no selection for congressman was made, ne cessitating another election. Owing to the absence of reports from the central and western states, and the uncer- tainty as to the results in congressional dis tricts, it is impossible even to attempt to approximate the total representation of the several parties in the next house; but it will be Democratic.
 The Sun says: "The elections through out the Union resulted in sweeping Demo cratic victories. MT. Cleveland was elected president and a Democratic house of rep resentatives was chosen"
 Some of the states which heretofore have been solidly in the Republican column gave | substantial Democratic victories Some of the features of the election were | the very great majorities rolled up by New York and Brooklyn, the cutting down of majorities in the strong Republican coun- i ties in the interior and the great change in the voting generally throughout the west ern states.
 In the south the Third party cut sorry figure, their most crushing defeat, perhaps, being in Georgia, where Tom Watson was beaten by 4,OO0 by his Democratic opponent | Not Third party congressman was | elected nj Georgia. In South Carolina only one district is in doubt, and there the chances favor the Democrats. In Florida, famous for its Ocala platform and agita- tion, the Third party was in hopeless minority.
 | In Arkansas the Third party fusion with | the Republicans had no effect whatever on Democratic success. In Mississippi, also a | former Alliance hotbed, the entire Demo cratic congress delegation was elected, as was the case in Virginia, where Weaver re- l ceived fewer votes than Bidwell. 1 Harrity's Claim.
 William F. Harrity, chairman of the National Democratic committee, said of the election: 1.-The returns received leave no doubt in our minds of the election o1 Mir. Cleveland and Mir. Stevenson by de cisive majorities in the electoral college.
 The indications are that they, as already predicted, receives the electoral votes oi every one of the southern states. We are enabled to add to those the electoral votes of New York, New Jersey, Connecticut and Indiana as previously claimed.
 "We furthermore claim that Mir. Cleve
 lard has carried Illinois and Wisconsin
 and that Mir Harrison has lost some of tn
 far western states.
 Returns generally indicate great Demo
 cratic gains and great Republican losses
 The people of the country are entitled t.
 congratulations upon their great victory. | What The Sun. Says;
 Returns from 250 precincts out of 1909 il
 the state show Republican gains averagini 1 12 to the precinct, and the indications iron
 these meagre returns are that Harrison ha
 carried the state by plurality between
 25,000 and 3O,000. s. N. Taylor, Republical
 candidate for secretary of state, defeats " | A. Tayler, Derneoratie eanaidAts, hJ a
