CHICAGO, Nov. "A ia. IN. extra of
The Times Herald revises it's formertable
as to the complexion of the next house
of representatives: Republicans, 229;
Democrat-P opulists, 1873; majority over
all, 1O1; divided as follows: Antisilver
Republicans, 3; silver Democratic pu-
lists, 1875; sound money majority, 1Ol.
A late edition OF The Tribune claims
the following as the complexion of the
next congressional body: Senators. Re-
publican, 46; Democrat, SO: Independent,
IL. Representatives, Republican, 227;
Democrat, lls; Independent, IL. Pop.
ulists and silver Republicans are classed
as Independents.
CHICAGO, Nov. 1.-THE Chicago Tribune
at 1870 this morning claims that the next
congress will stand: Republicans, 233;
Democrats, Ill, and ID independents,
made up of Populists and free silver Re-
publicans.
The Times-Herald prints a table of the
next house: Total Republican, 2s5; Dem
ocrat-Populist, 1879; Republican majority,
lib: antisilver Republicans. 232; antisil-
yer Democratic opulists. 8; Republicans
for silver, 3; Democratic opulists for sill
YER, 1l9: sound money majority, 113.
Democratic Maryland sends a solid
Republican delegation. Kentucky will
have a gold standard majority. Even
in Georgia the Republicans get q foot
hold by the election of j. T. Doyle in
the First district.
New YORK, Nov. AT 1880 am. the
returns from the various states indicate
the election of 200 Republican congress
men and So Democrats. No returns
have been received from Alabama. Cali
fornia, Delaware or Washington. The
present complexion of the house is 244
Republicans, 1O5 Democrats, & Populists
and l Silver Party.
NEW YORK, Nov. 4-Full returns
from the states named below show that
the Democrats have made congressional
gains as follows: Delaware, 1; Illinois,
l: Missouri, $; New York, l; total. IL.
Republicans have gained as follows:
Maryland, 3. Democrats and Populist
%fusionists have gained in Colorado l,
Missouri 1; total 3. Thus apparently a
net gain for the silver men of 10.
WASHINGTON. Nov. 4.-From returns
thus far received the next senate will
probably stand as follows: Republicans,
AZ; Democrats, 80; Independents and
Populists, IL; doubtful, 8. Total, 100.
On the currency question the senate I'M
doubtedly will have an anti-silver ma
jority.
Pinsree Running Ahead.
DETROIT, Nov. 4.-Returns incomplete
as yet from the SO counties of Michigan
indicate McKinley's plurality in Michi.
gan to be 10000. The same returns this
morning give Pingree for governor an
estimated plurality of $4,000. That
Pingree should run decidedly ahead Of
his ticket generally throughout the state
is regarded as something of a surprise,
in view of the combined interests allied
against him. In Detroit, Pingree got
more votes than he ever received in his
candidacy for mayor. In 1873 precincts
of this county, Pingree received
1898 votes to 1854 for Sigh;
Mckinley, 33,65s; Bryan, 24,4l7. The
Republican state ticket is con.
siderably behind Pingree's vote
and several thousand beyond the Nc
Kinley vote. The Republican members
of congress are elected in each of the 12
districts of the state except the Third
and Eighth, and i'll the Eighth the issue
is still doubtful between Congressman
Linton and Ferdinand Becker. Wayne
county elected her entire Republican
delegation to the legislature, 10 repre-
sentatives and 4 senator's. although en-
Mayor William G. Thompson for sena-
tor narrowly escaped defeat. The legis-
lature will be overwhelmingly Republi-
can. but by what majority is not yet de-
terlnined.
