WASHINGTON, NOV. b.-Inere Is DuC
one point on which both the great
parties agree, and that is that the Demo-
cratic majority of the present House of
Representatives will be largely reduced.
In Kansas and Nebraska the situation
is involved more than elsewhere. The
Democrats have made strong fight for
independent existence, realizing that if
continued it would be nothing more than
fight for principle. They have aban-
doned the contest in those States, and
gone over to the third party.
In Nevada the new party will elect its
electors and send silver exponent to the
House.
The Fusionists have made the Demo-
Gratis uneasy in at least two districts in
Alabama.
In Michigan the Republicans admit the
probability of the election of three out of
twelve Representatives while the Demo-
Gratis claim at least half the delegation.
In Connecticut the Republicans have
one of the four memb bers OF the present
House and expect another.
In Georgia interest centers in the fight
between the straight Democrat, j. c.
Black and Tom Watson. The chances
are said to favor Black.
Third, Eighth, Ninth and Fifteenth.
Sly of the eleven Iowa districts are now
Republican, and the party is hopeful for
four more in the next House.
In Indiana the Republicans, who have
four OF the thirteen members, hope to get
one more in the Seventh District.
In Kansas the Alliance has tive of the
seven members, but there has been a re-
action in politics which may reduce the
number.
one Republican Representative in Ken
lucky, Wilson of the Eleventh District,
Will have a hard time to hold his own
IN louisiana and Maryland no change
is expected.
One feature of the contest in Massa-
chusetts is the lively canvass OF q. F.
Williams and Draper in the Eleventh
District.
In Minnesota the third party expects
to carry three districts.
Missouri has gained two members un-
der the Reapportionment Act, and will
have ten i'll the next House, The chances
are that two Republicans will be among
them.
There is an interesting fight in the first
New Hampshire District between Blair
(itep,) ana stone lDem.). The third party
cuts no figure.
Owing to the death of Mcdonald, Demo-
cratic nominee in the Seventh New Jer-
sey District, there is a strong probability
OF gain of Republican Congressman
i'll that State.
There is no probability that The dele
cation from New York will show any
material change.
In North Carolina the third party has
candidate in every district, and it is pos
siOle for them to carry three or four dis
tricts.
Ohio has six Republicans to fifteen
Democrats, but as the State has been re-
dlStrIctl0 il NAV stand Sixtaar lkanuh
Hcans to five Democrats.
In Pennsylvania there are spirited
struggles in the Sixth and Eleventh Dis
tricts and in the Twenty-fourth, the
Homestead district, an independent can
didate was put up, which jeopardizes the
Republican chances.
Rhode Island is very doubtful. The
two Democrats now in Congress have
been renominated, but the struggle NAV
terminate in favor of the Republicans.
In South Carolina the Democrats have
clean sweep.
In South Dakota the Democrats and
third party fused, making the result
doubtful.
Tennessee Republicans have chances in
the Chattanooga district and in the Ninth
District.
In Texas and Virginia the Democrats
will probably have it all their own way.
In West Virginia there is a prospect of
Republican inroads upon the present
solidity of the Democratic delegation.
In Wisconsin the third party hopes to
carry three districts.
