FIFTY-THIRD CONGRESS.

The Democrats Will Have Msjori-
ty of Nearly One Hundred-The
Southern States Return Four Re-
publican Representatives New
EnglaRd's Delegation.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 10.-An analysis of
the congressional election returns shows
that with returns missing from twenty dis
triots, in which the result is either entirely
unknown or is very close, the democrats
have elected to seats in the house of repre-
sentatives for the Fifty-third congress
eighty eight more representatives than the
republicans. This majority does not in
clude nine members elect who are CLASH
fed as either fusionists or third party
men, nearly every one of whom will act
with the democrats in any proposed re-
duction of tariff taxes. Their support,
with the additional strength the democrats
are certain to derive from securing some
of the twenty districts put in the unknown
column, make it conservative to estimate
that the democrats will have majority of
100 members more on the most important
question likely to come before the next
house of representatives, viz, revision
of the Mckinley tariff law. A number of
the fusionists are also thoroughly in &C.
cord with the democratic policy, as far as
it goes on all other questions.
Leaving out the twenty unknown dis
tricts the next house will consist of 2O7
democrats, 100 republicans and 9 fusion
lists or third party men. An analysis by
sections of the vote Tuesday for congress
men shows that the southern states, Mary
land, Missouri and Kentucky being includ
ed in this category, will send 1T demo-
Gratis, only four republicans and one ALI
ance democrat, McLaurin of South Caro-
lima, with four districts, two in West Vir-
ginia, one each in Kentucky and Missouri
in doubt. Of the four republican con-
gressmen returned, two come from Ten
| nessee and one each from Kentucky and
Missouri.
or New England's 81 votes in the next
house the republicans get 10 and the demo-
| Gratis 6, three coming from Massachusetts
| and three from Connecticut. The four
Middle States, New York, Pennsylvania,
| New Jersey and Delaware have 70 votes in
the house, of which number the republi-
cans will cast 80 and the democrats "a.
Fifty six congressman will be returned
from the middle-western states of Ohio,
Indiana and Illinois. According to the

the districts, republicans %, and one, the
Sixteenth, Ohio, at present represented
by Pesrsons, dem, is said to be exceed
ingly close.
The states of the northwest and agri-
cultural west beyond the Mississippi river
will send 30 republicans, IA democrats and
fusionists to represent them in the next
house, with two districts from Nebraska in
doubt and the entire seven from Minnesota
placed in the same column for lack of in
formation as to the successful candidates.
The republicans stand the best chance OF
securing majority from the nine unknown
districts. The five fusionists come from
Kansas The silver states of Idaho, Mon
tana. Wyoming, Nevada and Colorado split
even on the congressional election, three
republicans coming from the three statef
first named and three fusionists from the
two latter states.
The pacific coast is entitled to clever
congressman. Washington and Oregon
each will send two republicans, and Cali
fornis will send four democrats, and per
haps more, three districts being close be
