The Tennessee Congressional delega-
ton is unchanged. Turnev, democrat,
/ for Governor is elected. The democrats
claim that Congressman Houck, repuh-
| lican, is defeated
The fusion candidate for governor OF
Nebraska is elected by 5000 plurality.
Mcintyre. republican, for governor
in Colorado, has $1,000 to 10000 ma
jority. White has run many thousand
behind his ticket. The republicans
will control the legislature and re-elect
Senator Wolcott. LATE Pence, popu'
list, was defeated for Congress by Shap-
vii, republican.
The free-silver democratic-populist-
fusion ticket in Nebraska was elected
and probably carried the Legislature,
insuriug the election of Congressman
BRYAN to the Senate in place of MIR.
Henderson.
Reports from Michigan are to the eff
feet that the State has gone republican.
In Rhode Island the democratic de-
feat was complete. Every city in the
State went republican.
In New Jersey republicans elected
six, and possibly seven, of eight Con-
gressmen. and carried both Houses OF
the Legislature by enormous majorities.
South Dakota elect republican
State ticket and two congressman.
The republicans regain control OF
Kansas and defeat Jerry Simpson.
Washington remains republican.
Congressman Tracy, of Albany, n.
Y, democrat, was defeated by 1000.
Coxey was defeated for Congress from
the Massillon district in Ohio.
The result of the election also proba-
bly, carries with it republican Senate
20 assume charge on March next. 1t
is probable that there will be an in
crease in the number of populist
members, but this will prove but poor
solace to the democrats. Senator Hill,
although defeated for Governor of New
York, will retain his seat in the Senate
until March, 1896 The terms Of thirty
Senators will expire on March 4 next
As the Senate now stands there are
forty-four democrats, thirty-eight re-
publicans, two populists and three va
cancies. The vacancies are all from
States admittedly republican. 1t seems
therefore. that the democrats may los,
control of the Senate. Supposing tina
the three doubtful democratic Senator;
should be lost there would be forty-one
democrats and forty-one republicans
The populists would hold the balance
of power.
The fact must be conceded that the
Fiftv-fourth Congress will be in the
hands of the republicans, as Senator
PETER also votes on partisan questions
with that party. Mr.. Cleveland's term
will not expire until March 4, 1897, The
same day upon which the republican
House as elected yesterday will expire
The republicans will, therefore, be
powerless to carry to successful issue 8
change in the tariff or force bill. Any
such measure would, of course, be We,
toed by the President, and the republi-
can majority will not be sufficiently
large to override q presidential veto
In order, therefore, for the republicans
to accomplish any vicious legislation it
will be necessary for them to retain
control of the Fifty-ffth Congress and
TO elect their President two years
hence.
The returns indicate that the demo
Gratis have lost New Jersey and West
Virginia, while Tillman (pop.), in South
Carolina, in place of Butler, will leave
The democrats with only forty-one
votes in the Senate where forty-tive
will be majority. Returns from all
the States indicate that the complexion
of the next House will be as follows
Republicans, 213; democrats, 13S; pop
ulists, 5. Total, 1856. A republican
majority of 20.
