NEW YORK, Nov. 9-Ofacial figures
from several of the doubtful districts.
and the unexpected reports from Texas
compel a recssting of the Congressional
districts to day.
In the Eighth Pennsylvania district,
Hart (Dem }, is elected over Kirkpat-
rick (Rep }. giving the Democrats two
Representatives from the Keystone
State.
Illinois reports a solid Republican
delegation Of 90 members. Downing
(Dem.) in the Sixteenth district, the
single Representative of the Democracy
from that State, claimed yesterday. has
disappeared under the later returns.
Reports this morning are to the effec G
that the Tenth and Fourth Tenness. @
distriots, heretofore credited to the
Democrats, are in doubt. and that the
official figures will be necessary to
settle the contests.
According to advices received this
incoming, the Democrats are certain of
these two congressman from Texas
Hutchison, OF the First, and Bailey, Of
Noonan, of the Twentieth; the Popu.
lists four, MoWilliam, OF the Sixth;
Jenkins. of tho Eighth; Weldon, of the
Eleventh, and Gilliland. of the Thir-
teenth. The other districts are in
doubt with indie atoms favoring the
election OF the Populist candidates.
The result would mean the retirement
Of Judge D. B. Culbertson, Of the Fourth
district. after ,wenty years continuous
service, and of ex Governor Sayers, at
present chairman OF the committee on
sppropria tions, who has been in Congress
ten years.
Upon the basis of these returns the
House of Representatives in the Fifty
fourth Congress will consist of GAS Re
publicans, 81 Democrats and 90 Popu-
lists.
New Mexico has apparently joined
the Republican procession and elected
Thomas r. CAtron delegate to Congress-,
making the territorial deleg alton In the
next House solidly Republican.
