ful-Republican Gossip
Today.

The most interesting information recently
received at republican headquarters in this
city was the following telegram from Con-
gressman Settle of North Carolina:
1T is conceded at democratic headquar-
ters that we have elected seven Congress
men in this state, with the third and sixth
districts doubtful"
The republican committee, however in
making up Its estimate Of the next House
does not include all of the Congressman
known to be elected in North Carolina, Vir-
ginia, Texas and South Carolina, for the
reason that 1t is believed that certificates
will not be given to all, but that contests
will have to be made. The estimate today
for the next House is 25I republicans, 81
democrats and populists. Information re-
celVed since yesterday shows the gain of
a republican Congressman in Minnesota
from the populists, making that delegation
soldly republican, and the gain of another
in Illinois, making that delegation solid.
The republicans yield one to the democrats
IN pennsylvania, making that delegation
