The Stark County Democrat. [volume] (Canton, Ohio) 1833-1912, 1898-11-10


New YoRK, Nov. 9.-Returns re.
ceived in The Associated Press office, in
this city from ali over the country in.
dicatcd that 50 Republicans and l09
Democrats have certainly been elected
to seats in the national house of repre-
sentatives. The same districts two
years ago returned to che lower house
OF congress l05 Republicans and 80
Democrats.
Based solely upon the estimates in
these districts, Republican loss of 20
and Democratic gain of 81 is indi.
Gated These estimates concede to the
Democrats all of the congressional dis
tricts in Greater New York except one,
the Fifteenth.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 0.-Chairman
Babcock of the Republican congress
siOnal committee made the following
statement TO The Associated Press:
while | am satisfied that the Re.
publ cans will control the house of rep.
resentatives in the Fifty.slxth congress
it is impossible at this hour to indicate
what our majority in the house will be.
Thus far we have no definite re.
turns IRON Illinois, Wisconsin, Mime
SOFA, Iowa or Kansas. Ohio has Il cted
10 Republicans certainly and two dis.
tricts seem TO he in doubt. From Michi.
gan the returns indicate solid Repub
hcan delegation. Representative Haw,
ley is reelected IN Texas. Vincent
Boering is elected in the Eleventh Ken
lucky district and Samuel j. Pugh i:
probably elected in the Ninth Kentucky
The election of George NJ. Davidson il
the Eighth Kentucky IS in doubt will
chances seemingly i'll favor of his elec
ton. Advices from Maryland show
that we have elected four representa-
tives certainly.
nineteen members of the delega
tion from New York state and perhaps
more will DO Republicans. /. +. Fischel
of the Fourth New York district
Brooklyn--ls the only member we hav,
elected in Greater New York. Tn,
| election of Cochran in the Nineteentl
| New York and of Mahany in tht
Thirty second Buffalo district-is il
doubt. From Pennsylvania we hav,
thus far received meager returns, bu
the indications are that we have sus
tanned losses there. Kirkpatrick Of tn
Eighth district and Arnold of tn
| Twenty. eighth seem to have been de
feated. Unofficial advices from west
ern states show that we have more thar
held our own and my conviction is tha
we shall control the house By sal
majority, probably not fax from tn
figures which gave out last week"
The figures re erred to by 1tr. Bah
cock We're contained III his prCdlctlO!
that the Republicans wuulI have ma
jority over all OF about %.
To The Associated Press Secretar
Kerr said:
1.-The Republicans have lost cOntro
of the house OF epresentatvCs. W
will have from 1856 TO 100 members an
will organize the house OF the FIFTY
sixth congress. The majority of tin
opposition will be from 10 to 20 owe
the Republicans and perhaps NOR,
Our adviUos Indicate Democratic gain
in some OF the states as follows:
Alabama, ?; Illinois, >; Iowa,
Kentucky, 3; Maryland, 2; Massa
chusats, 2; Missouri, ?; New Jersey, {
New York, 8; North Carolina, 2; Penn
sylvania, 8; Virginia, 3; West Virginii
|. /. This is a total OF 81. one distriC
in Delaware is doubtful with tn
chances IN favor Of the Democrats"
In tiguli ing gain of three in vi
ginia Secretary Kerr includes two di
tricts winch elected Democratic COZ
gressmen in 1896 who were unseated b
the present house.
