Washington. oct. 2S.-Reports received by the Re
publican Congressional Committee continue to be
OF the most encouraging nature. and unless present
indications are utterly misleading the Republicans
will have a larger majority in the next House "i
Representatives than has been hitherto expected
Acting Chairman Apsley to-day expressed the ut
most confidence that the Republicans will have
fair working majority and organize the next House
and that Wilson will be defeated for reelection IN
the ia West Virginia District despite the tremen-
dous output of Democratic money ana campaign
eloquence In his behalf There is also bright
prospect of Republican success In two OF the other
West Virginia districts and fair probability that
the Democratic candidate will be defeated in the
remaining district. Mr. Apsley also expects Re-
publican gains in Maryland. Virginia. North Caro-
lima. Tennessee and Louisiana. and would not ne
surprised to find eighteen twenty Republican
Representatives in the next Congress from states
south Of Mason and Dixon's line. instead Of six
as in the LIIId Congress. Every district reclaimed
in the South will be net gain for the kepuhlcans
and a double loss to the Democrats.
A dispatch was received at the headquarters OF
the Republican Committee from Secretary Ferris,
Of the Louisiana Republican State central commit
. tee. which reads follows:
Governor Mckinley received grand ovation
Fourteen thousand people Welconea h nm botti 1ia

districts.

comprise the producing region of the
State and include the city of New-Orleans.
Among rocen, callers at Republican hcadquar-
ters were J s Clarkson. Of the National Com
mittee. and Congressman Hooker. of New-l ork'

Both Of them brought highly encouraging informa-
ton Mr. Carkson. VINO mas recently been in New

Republicans will carry majority Of the congress
districts in the Empire State He said II had come
to the knowledge of the Republican National Com
mttee that the Democrats feeling that the prospect
Of obtaining control Of the House of Repre-
sentatives was exceedingly doubtful. are bending all
their energies to secur, majority OF the state
delegations in that body. that II the election OF
the next President should he thrown into the House
the Democrats would control it. Steps have been
taken which in his opinion Will defeat this purpose
If the necessary amount Of effort is put forth by
the Republicans during the remainder of the
paign Representative Hooker reported that the
outlook in his district and in all that part of the
State was favorable. His plurality in the XXXIIId
District in 1892 nearly 10000. and he expects
tnat it will he largely increased this year He re-
ports that the people OF the northern and western
parts of the State enthusiastic over the can
didacy Of Mr. Morton. and he predicts that Morton
will a tremendous majority in those regions

the feeling is all tending in favor Of Republican
success and he looks for surprising results
