Elections throughout the country, yesterday, resulted in political convul- sions far reaching in extent, similar at many points, to the famous tidal wave of 1892.
 effect has been on the national House of Representatives, which was carried | by the Democrats, reversing the present Republican majority of 43.

 Democrats Have Majority.
 CHICAGO, H., Nov. s.-Tne Demo- crats have gained forty seats in the National House of Representatives, assuring them not only control but also a substantial majority. The Democratic gross gain, however, is reduced to a net gain of thirty-seven by three Republican gains. In or der to gain control of the House it was necessary for the Democrats to elect twentyfOur members. Assum- ing that the party will retain its rep resentatiOn in states not yet heard from, it is apparent the Democrats have thirteen members in excess of the necessary twenty-four to give them control.

 The following states, which now have Republican Senators, have prob ably elected Democratic Legislatures: Indiana, Maine, Missouri, Nebraska, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, West Virginia.

 Losses are known to have been sus- tained in Illinois, Kentucky, Missouri and Ohio.
 The known Democratic gain is eighteen, offset by two Republicans, one each in New York and Pennsyl- vania.
 Reports from other states indicate the Democrats have ample margin to assure them the necessary twenty-two to have control of the House. In Oklahoma the indications are the Democrats have gained two.
 At Democratic headquarters New Jersey, it is declared, will hold eight seats, making a gain of five for the Democrats.
 The Democrats in West Virginia gained three districts. In Missouri one is known, and probably three, while Iowa and Illinois returns in- dicate the Democrats made a total gain of six.
 In North Carolina Democratic gains may reach three seats.
