Des Moines, Nov. 3.--'I can not speak
ton here in Iowa. said Secretary
Shaw in the lobby of the Slavery last
evening, ..but ] am satisfied we will
elect congressman in each of the
eleven districts Of the state. / speak
from, such information of the general
consensus of opinion as / have gathered
at various points. Wherever l have
been there is feeling of confidence
among the republicans as to the re-
suits I have talked with both repub
licans and democrats and / find the
democrats uncertain as to where their
greatest strength will be manifested.
One says in the Second, another in the
Sixth, another in the First and SO on.
The democrats say certain districts are
doubtful, but they are hopeful of car
irying them. Among the republicans
find confidence that warrants the be-
lief no. district of the state is in dan
ger. The Second district, l am con-
WINGED, will be safely republican.
Mn the nation at large the republican
partly will be able to maintain its pres
emit strength. The. house will be repub-
lican by about the same majority as 1t
is now In Nebraska look to see the
republicans make consi derable gains.
