Where Gains Are Expected.
THE largest Democratic gains this
year are going 10 be in the country
between our two great ranges Of
mountains. principally in the Missis-

as solid as ever. and in North Caro-
lima the Republicans will lose the two
members of congress they now have.
Ohio will make some gains The gen
eral impression of the Democrats Of
that state with whom talked is that
Harmon will win easily in the state.
In Illinois Cannon has a very large
majority, and the chances for a Demo

ing like so good as in many other Re
