"A Genera! Election Review
1t was one of the Most Remarkable EIeC- :
lions in Thirty Years, With one
Exception

1t is now certain that the Republi-
can majority in the House of
Representative will be larger than in
any midterm election in thirty years,
with the exception of 1894 when the
dominant Democracy was showed
UNDER everywhere in the north.
That exception occurred when condi-
tiUnS were SO unusual as to make it in
no sense a real contest between the
Iwo parties The Republicans scored
a majority of thrty-tive in the House
elected in the middle of Grants first
indications about the majority in the
next House.
The exclusion of Republicans from
the south has reached an eXtraOrdin-
airy stage. Of thirteen states of that
section, having 125 seats in the new
House, the Republicans have elected
but two in Tennessee, one in Ken
lucky, one in Mississippi and one in
Virginia. The North Carolina noun
tains have been represented by
Republicans, with rare exceptions,
since the rise Of the party. Its two
western districts are represented 10
the present House by Republicans
and it has today Republican senator.
And yet the Democrats have made
such election laws and gerrymanderS,
for this mountain country is almost
as white as the north, that they have
cleaned up the state, electing its
entire delegation. Kentucky has from
time out of nina had two Republican
districts of the western side Of the
same mountains, with lighting
chance always in the Louisville dis
tricI.. Six years ago the Republicans
carried the state for Mckinley. To-
day but one Republican congressman
is reported out of Kentucky'S eleven.
In Missouri where the parties are
nearly evenly matched as to numbers,
and the state legislature has been
steadily claimed by Republicans, the
Democratic management has allowed
them to carry but one congressional
district. The south is thus Indifferent

having membership of nearly one

opposition party carry a trifling five

The hand of labor is readily seen in

large labor vote to the support of
the Democratic ticket
With the exception of the Demo-
cratic tide IN and about New York
city, the Republicans in the north
have showed stronger voting force
than could have been reasonably
expected. West of the AlleghanieS
only those districts have gone Demo-
cratic which it has been assumed for
weeks should do so. 1t was necessary
in the apportiOnmeut of several of
these states to make one Democratic
district, as in Sixth district of our
own state. where Froehlich was
defeated, and also in Iowa, Mime
sofa sends one Democrat from a
normally Republican district, but this
is due to Ex-Gov. Limbs persuasive
Scandinavian eloquence and popu-
larity.
1t will be noted that Idaho and
Montana have elected Republicans
for the first time in many years,
Another influence favorable to the
Republicans was the state political
situation in Ohio and Pennsylvania.
The fight between McLain and John
son in Ohio resulted in saving to the
az lC6tSU UNO QlSUl lCUSs
1t should be noted that the three
''fusionists" elected in Pittsburg,
although receiving Democratic sup
port, are Republicans.
The most notable feature of the
contest is the result in New York.
There has never been anything like
it in the present history of that state.
One party Or the other, in years of
tidal wave, has had majOritieS
approximating or greater than those
pOlled November i, but the two par
ties never rolled up such majorities in
opposition. In 1890 and 1892 the Dem
ocrats encountered only feeble
Republican strength sup the state"
This year each side made its strongest
pull.
Another remarkable Republican
victory was scored in Wisconsin.
Here the Democrats had been con-
fdent of winning. They knew that
the Republican party was divided
against itself and they therefore pre-
pared to make the fight uf their lives
They nominated what seemed to
them their strongest man, man
living in Democratic stronghold and
in StalwarJ section of the state.
Their belief was that the votes in
southern part would overcome the
almost solid Republican votes of the
northern half. But Rose was not
even able to carry his own city, and
thus it was not fight between city
and country as in New York. The
fourth of November was a glorious
day for Gov. LaFollette and the
people and those who helped the
Republican party to accomplish what
it did came from every walk of life.
