of 4S or two more than majority over
the Democrats, Populists, and Silve,
| Republicans. There are 21 Democratic
| hold-over senators. To this number
yesterdays election adds four with
certainty, one probable, giving total
of 25. The Populists and Silver Re-
publicans holdovers number 8. This
was increased yesterday by one, prac-
tically sure. Five state legislatures
appear much in doubt, viz: in Nebras-
ka, West Virginia, Montana, Indiana,
and Washington, and are not included
in figuring up the totals
Interest in the election today centered
in the political complexion of the next
house, the senate being conceded to the
Republicans.
Chairman Babcock of the Republican
congressional committee, this morning
made what he termed an ultra CON
servative estimate in which he elimin-
ated a number of doubtful districts.
This estimate gives the hefRepublicans 1856
members in the next house, majority
Of 13 over all. Last night he figured
the defeat of Boutell in Illinois. This
morning he finds the Chicago congress
man pulled through, but this gain is off
set by the unexpected defeat of Will
Jams in the 18th Pennsylvania. The
state chairman of California telegraphed
six Republicans elected in that state
with the probable defeat of Devries,
Democrat, which would. give the Re-
publicans solid delegation. Chairman
Bristow wired, Kansas sends five Re
publicanS. Chairman Green claims
three Republicans in Texas, but Bah
cock only figures on the election of one,
Hawley, in the 10th.
In Indiana, Babcock admits the loss
of two districts those of Farris and
Landie, either of which may have been
carried by the Republicans. He figures
Il certain loss of three districts in Eli
nois, leaving two doubtful, those of
Brumm and Lewis. CIV. Stone and Wood
in Pennsylvania, he puts in the doubt
ful column. In his estimate of 1856, he
does not include the doubtful districts.
The returns show Republican losses in
the cities while gains were in the rural
districts. This encourages him to hope
When the returns come later from the
country that some districts which now
appear to be lost may be saved. The
Democrats claim an opposite majority
of ~.
At o'clock Chairman Kerr, of the
Democratic congressional central COM
mittee, claimed the certain election of
100 Democrats and fusionists, a Demo-
cratic majority over all of 5. At
o'clock Chairman Babcock admitted the

doubt He claims ia districts sure,
with Is districts in doubt. One hundred
and seventy-nine is majority.
