The Democrats will have a ma ority in th® next House of Representatives. Tne majoritw is estimated all the way from forty to seventy—five. The Senate is destined to becontro’led bv Republicans for some years to come. With fortvlour States now iu the Union there will f>e-eighty-eight Senators, dividid in three classes as their terms expire. The not yet elected Senators of Idaho and Wyoming will, on their appearance in the Senate, draw lots for the classification of their terms. Their presence will aid lour to the Republican side. Without them, there arr thirty-one Republican Senator* holding over beyond March 4.-H9l, and twerty-fire-Democratic Senators holding over. The Republicans ther j'o e have six in the lead of holdover Senators, and the four to be added for Idaho and Wyoming will make ten. Should' either of the terms of the Senators of these* new States fall into the list of 1891 it would make no difference to the Republican party in the Senate They start with ten ahead. Of Republican Senators -whose terms expire in March, 18 >l. Messrs. Allison of lowa and Moi rill of Vermont have been re-elected, and of Democratic Senators Messrs. Plackburn of Kentucky andUilson of Maryland have hern lo clected. Calvin 8. Brice, Democrat, has been elected by tbe Ohio Legislature to succeed Henry B. Payne. Elections have been made in Alabama, Arkansas. Georgia, and Oregon of legislatures that have United States Senators to elect for the new term, anl the political status is not changed. This leaves to be announced by the election returns the following States having United States Senators to elect, the States and the outgoing Senator being named: DEMOCRATS. Florida Wilkinson Call. Indiana Daniel W. Voorhees. -Louisiana James B. Eustis. Missouri George G. Vest. North Carolina Zebulon B. Vance. South Carolina. Wade Hampton. REPUBLICANS. California Leland Stanford.

The enlarged House—enlarged bv the admission of South Dakota, North Dakota. Montana, Washington, Idaho, and Wyoming—will consist of 332 members in the Fifty-second Con—gress. In the Close States. The vote polled iu Nebraska was the heaviest . in the history of the State, but in spite of this fact the election was very quiet. In Omaha and' many other cities all the wholesale and retail stores and manufactories closed for the day in order to give the employes a full opportunity to - vote. Returns from over the State are too scarce tobear positive assertion, but indicate the election of Boyd (Dem.) for Governor, the choice of three ■ Democratic Congressmen, aud defeat of prohibition. The majority against the latter will be • 17.000 to 20,000. A comparatively light vote was cast in Minnesota, and the returns come in slowly. TheDemocrats have made sweeping gains in every direction. The Republicans claim the election . of Merriam for Governor, but concede the election of Lindholm, Democrat, for Secretary of" State, and Bierrman. Democrat, for Auditor. The Democrats claim their entire ticket, but it cannot be said just what the result will be. It is very close, and the country districts will decide. St. Paul and Minneapolis both give Democratic majorities, nnd show ponderous Democratic gains. TheDemocrats hava certainly carried the First, Third, and Fourth Congressional Districts, electing Harris, Hall, and t a ,tD. The Second' is probably carried by Lind, Republican, and. the Fifth is In doubt, with tbe chance* favoring Whiteman. Democrat. The Legislaturewill be Repub’iran on joint ballot bw a. reduced majority, and the Senate now looks like a tie. Minnesota has never before chosen a. Democratic State official.
