There are 8S6 seats to be filled in the house, and should the democrats get the remain. ing % they would still not have the control.
 The most sanguine prediction put put by Chairman sherman, was that the republicans would retain control of the house by 60.

 Illinois 2. Indiana l, Iowa l, Mis- ,, s0uri f. Nebraska 1, New Jersey l, New York l, North Carolina l, Ohio 3, Pennsylvania .. and Wisconsin l.
