Os these forty-three are democratic representatives and eight l democratic senators, while twenty-one 1 are republicans for the house republi- - can senators. This gives the demo- - crats, with their hold-overs, sixty-five - and thirty-four to the republicans,’ I leaving fifty-one districts still to be 1 heard from.

Chicago, 111., Nov. 9 —Democratic control of the next house of representatives became a certainty shortly after midnight. It was then known that the democrats had gained twenty-six seats in the house, including two previously secured in Maine. Republicans gained from the democrats two seats, making the democratic gain twentyfour, which is sufficient to give them control. That they will have a good working majority was indicated j>y the returns from several among them New Jersey. j Returns there showed that there would probably be a gain of six democrats in the representation of that, state. ° | returns from New |York and Pennsylvania indicated the fnccess of several democrats in their contests for seats now held by republicans. The democrats also expected to increase their lead by returning several members from Illinois and also from Missouri. 4 It was considered possible! that they would be successful in several doubtful states. „ The definite democratic gains were: New York, 8; Pennsylvania, 3; North Carolina, 2; Ohio, »; IfiMsachusettta, 2;. Maryland, 3; Connecticut, 1; Illinois, 1; lowa, 1; Kentucky, 1; Missouri, 1; West Virginia, 1J The republican gains were Massachusetts, 1; New York, 1; Pennsylvania, 1. —— / ■ ■ Governor Marshall's Statement.

It - 1 Indicates further that when a party t once confesses that its whole system 3 of government has been wrong, the • people prefer to trust a new party » with the management of public affairs. 3 It indicates further that people will • have, If possible, ah economical gov- > ernment It marks a return to con--1 servative government, lower taxation, 3 greater economy in official life and .. reduced expenses in living. It marks y further the belief of the people that 1 the democratic party has no Intention r of destroying great public enterprises, 3 but does intend to punish the indlvldb uals who are exploiting them at the - public expense.” c Newark, N.

Lew Ellingham, 1 editor of the democrat, and nominee 3 for secretary of state, was given a ! splendid vote, running ahead of the - vote of four years ago about two hun--1 dred in the city of Decatur. His vote • all over the county was highly satI isfactory to Mr. Ellingham and his 1 friends, who appreciate the courtesy ) thus extended at home, in the hlgh- • eat degree. Besides this we gave our > popular congressman a majority ttat I will rob around the two thousand

mark, and may eclipse the splendid victory of two years ago, when he had 2,100 majority. The entire county ticket was elected by usual majorities Ranging from 800 to 1,500. While Mr/ Butcher was cut in some localities he made a good showing generally, as did every man on the ticket. The returns were received at this office and at democratic headquarters. As usual tn general elections the returns were slow in coming in, but the good news therein was sufficient to repay those who waited for them. — o— F.
