ELECTIQ.E| day FIGURES
Estimate by JOSEPH Smith, McKinley's
Right Hand Man, as to the
Next Congress. a.
REPUBLICAN VICTORY SURE,
According to His Prediction, Made on
Election Day---The Figures
He Gives.

Smith, state librarian of Ohio. who has
been travelling with Governor Mckinley
in all his campaign tours this year, is
very confident the Republicans have
carried the next national house of rep
resentatives by decisive majority.
His opportunities for information in
the matter have been exception ally
good. He has met and made careful
inquiries of large number of the most
prominent and best informed Republi-
can managers and leaders in major
ity of the Northern and in five or six
Southern states. Relying upon their
confident assurances, he ventures the
opinion that the most sanguine esti-
mates of the Republican congressional
committee are too conservative. and
are apt to fall far short of the actual
results
How They Stand Now.
The Democratic congressional COM
mittee claims that the next house will
stand Democrats, 1879; Republicans, 1856,
and Populists, 10. The Republican
congressional committee is confident
that at least 1873 Republicans will be
elected, to 179 Democrats and Popu-
lists.
In the present (Fifty-third congress)
there are 210 Democrats, 1875 Republi-
cans and IL Populists, distributed
among the several sections of the coun-
try as follows: From the nine New
England and Middle states, Democrats,
40; Republicans, So; Populists, 10; from
the three Pacific states and Nebraska,
Democrats, 5; Republicans, 6; Popu-
lists, l.; and from the Is Southern and
border states, Democrats, 121: Republi-
cans, 6.
How He Thinks Congress Will Stand.
Mr.. Smith believes that Republican
tidal wave has already swept the coun-
try and therefore the most Surprising
results will be seen in the congressional
elections When the vote shall have been
counted. From what he has seen and
heard he thinks the Republicans will
have fully 40 majority in the next
house, and that the memberships from
the same groups Of states above given
will be about as follows: From the
New England and Middle states, Dem
ocrats %, Republicans "; from the
Western states, Democratic ~, Repub-
icans 80; Populists, 2; from the Pacific
states, Democrats 2, Republicans 9,
Populist 1; and from the Southern and
border states, Democrats lQ4, Republl'
cans %; or a total Of Democrats 155,
Republicans 1913, Populists 8. In this
classification where the Populists have
fused with the Democrats they are
called Democrats, and where they have
fused with Republicans, as in Tennes-
see and South Carolina, they are classed
as Republicans.
