WASHINGTON, ID. c., November 10.-To-
DAVIS ANALYSIS of the congressional elec-
tion returns shows that with returns miss
ing from twenty districts in which the re-
suits are either entirely unknown or are
very close, the Democrats have elected 10
seats in the House of Representatives for
the Fifty-third Congress eigbty-eight more
representatives than the Republicans.
THIS majority does not include nine men,
bers-elect who are CLASSIFIED as either
Fusionists or Ihird-party men, nearly
every one of whom will act with the Demo-
Gratis in any proposed reduction OF tarlft
taxes. Their support, with the additional
strength the Democrats are certain to de-
rive from securing some OF the districts
nut In the unknown column, make 1t con-
seryative 60 estimate that the Democrats
will have a majority of 100 members or
more on the most important question
likely 10 come before the House, VIZ. ne
vision of the tariff law. A number OF the
Fusionists are also thoroughly IN
accord with the Democratic policy,
as far as 1t goes, on all other ques-
tions. For instance, McLaurin, OF South
Carolina, and Pence and Bell. OF Colorado,
who are classified with the Thtrd-party
men. are in general accord with the Demo
cratic platform, save that on the currency
question the frst-named has Alliance ldeas
and the two last-named are radical tree-
coinage men. Three out OF hye OF the u
sionists elected in Kansas are also simply
Democrats Of what may be called the radi-
cal wing of the party. -,
Leaving out the twenty unknown dis
tricts, the next House will consist OF 2Ot
Democrats. 100 Republicans. and FUSION
lists or Third-party men.
ANALYSIS BY SECTIONS.
An analysis by sections of the vote Tues
day for congressman shows that the south
ern States (Maryland, Missouri, and Ken
tuckv being included IN this category
will send III Democrats, 6 Republicans,
and Alliance DemOcrat-McLaurin OF
South Carollna-to the next House, with
four districts two in West Virginia ana
one each in Kentucky and Aissou-i) In
doubt.
-Four Republican congressman are re-
turned from Tennessee and one each from
Kentucky and Missouri. The only appa-
rent result of the fight made against the
Democracy in the South was to strengthen
its hold on public affairs:
In North Carolina Cheatham, the col
ored Republican, is defeated after sur
viying the landslide two years ago, and ID
Alabama a solid Democratic delegation Is
returned. Notwithstanding the Efforts OF
Mr.. Magee and others TO split 1t.

Massachusetts and from Connecticut.
The Second New Hampshire District Is
placed In the doubtful column. The four
Middle States-New York, Pennsylvania,
New Jersey, and Delaware-haye 73 votes
in the House of which number the he
puhlicans will cast 80 and the Demo

According to the returns, Democrats Will
represent thirty-two of the districts. Re
n.ibhcsns tygenty-three, and one district,
the Sixteenth Ohio, at present represented
by Patterson (Democrat), is said to be ex-
ceedingly close. Although this Is the only
doubtful district named IN the press dis
patches from these States, experience war
rants the belief that other districts Will be
found to be doubtful as the official count
progresses, several districts being always
NIP and tuck between the two parties.
NORTHWESTERN AND SILVER STATES.
The States of the Northwest and the
agricultural West. beyond the Mississippi
river, will send 20 Republicans, IA Demo
Gratis, and Fusionists to represent It IN
the next House, with two districts from
Nebraska in doubt, and the entire seven
from Minnesota in the same column for
lack of confirmation as to the successful
candidates. The Republicans stand the
best chance of securing majority from
tho nine unknown districts. The tye Fu-
sionists come from Kansas. II IS said that,
with the exception of Davis and Baker,
the Fusionists are inclined towards De
moeracy. ,,
The silver States of Idaho, Montana,
Wyoming. Nevada, and Colorado split
even on the congressional election, three
RanubIicans coming from the States tirst
named and three fusionists from the two
latter States. Newlands. Of Nevada. how
ever, is inclined towards Republicanism.
The Pacific coast ls entitled TO eleven
conpressmen. Washington and Oregon
each will send two Republicans and Cali
fornia will send four Democrats and per-
tween the two parties. Later returns
place Kansas's vote for congressman much
in doubt, and also place IN doubt the
Fifth North Carolina District. II being as
serted with equal positiveness by different
correspondents that il has fallen TO the
Democrats and to the Republicans
