DEMOCRATS HAVE
 MADE GREAT GAINS Republicans Admit They Have
 Lost Some Congressmen. MEANS DEMOCRATIC HOUSE
Congressman Overstreet, Secretary of the National Republican Bureau, Says His Party Has Certainly
 Lost Five Representatives

Indianapolis, Ind, August 11.-Congress- man Overstreet of this district, secretary of the National Congressional Bureau of the Republicans at Chicago, left tonight for Chicago. Said he:
 Tn 1898 we carried the House by a ma- jority of thirteen. By contests decided in our favor, our majority was increased, but we cannot not depend on the districts they came from. We had three Congress men from North Carolina, but of course since the disfranchisement of the negroes, we shall not get representative from that State. In 1898 we had two from Ken lucky, but one was by the narrow major ity of b. We are not counting on that as certain. The other district in Kentucky gave us large majority and they cannot count us out of it. We had one represen- tative from Texas-from the Galveston district-but it is always close and the Presidential election may change the re- suit this time.
 This makes total of five that we are almost sure to lose from what we have, leaving us a bare majority of three. We are making our estimates on a majority of three now. But the odds this time are really in favor of the Democrats. They have to begin with 122 Representatives from the Southern States that always give a solid Congressional delegation from them. In some Northern States they have 40 per cent of the Congressman. In New York they had IS in the last house, 60 per cent of the New York delegation. So, in the face of the outlook their chances for carrying the House this time are better than ours, but I am sure that we shall defeat them a nd atya inrif in NR rat about the campaign in a practical way. In 1898 we sized up the situation and found that we would lose thirty districts east of the Missouri river and went to work in dis tricts that had been doubtful and were suc- cessful in carrying enough of them to give us a lead. We expect to get the same re- suits again and to redeem many of the dis tricts that went against us in 1S9S.'
