have gained votes in California, 9; I'LL
nois, 3; Indiana, l; Kansas, 4; Michigan,
]; Missouri, l; Montana, /; North Caro-
lima, 3, and Washington, /. Total, 16.
The Republicans have gained three Con-
gressmen in Maryland, one in Virginia,
one in New York, and one in louisiana
Tota, g. The net Democratic gain of votes,
therefore, in the next Congress is 90; the
net Populist gain, 10, and the net Re-
publican loss, 81. Utah's representative
adds one more to the total number; but
two gold Democrats were elected and
