Washington, Nov. 4.—Edward Me
pberson, Secretary of the Republican
Con 'ieesional Committee, makes the fol
lowing computation from the returns
rcceiveu up to 9 o'clock this evening of
tne political complexion of the Mouse of
Representatives of the Fiftieth Congress:
■•The returns so far ns received indicate
the election ot 154 Republicans, 159 Demo
crats. 5 Labor and Independent, ti doubt
ful and 1 vacancy, a total of 325. The
•doubtful’ are one in Illinois, Landes;
aneiu Keduoky, Carlisle; one in Ohio,
Campbell, and three in Missouri,
Clardv, (Mover and Mansur, llie Labor
und independent® are one in Florida,
Pendleton one in Indiana* Marsli; one in
lowa, Anderson; one in Virginia, Hop
tins and one in Wisconsin, smith. If
the Democrats net l ur of the doubtful,
pjev Will have 163, or a majority ot ibe
House Air. McPherson says: “The atti
tude of the Democracy towards the pres
ent administration is similar to that of
the Republicans towards the administra
tion of President Hayes, and that many
dissatisfied Democrats voted the Labor
ticket.’- Labor, he thinks, will be an or
miized factor in the political contests o(
the future, and the Labor vote must be
taken into serious consideration.
mil Thompson, Secretary of the Demo
cratic Committee, says the Democrats
will have a good working majority In the
House.
INDIAN V L'VSES.
Both Parties < laiin the Legislature
The Congressmen.
Indianapolis, Inp., Nov. 4.—No posi
tive statement can yet be made about the
Legislature. Gov. Gray said that while
the present returns, if continued in the
ratio o! Republican gains, would elect the
Republican Slate ticket, it would require
the official count to determine whether
Uepubiicarx or Democrats bad earned
the Legislature. The Republican State
Central Committee says that basing the
claims upon the returns trem more than
halt of the counties, tbe Republicans wiil
ect tbe state ticket by 5,000.
Tluit the Legislature is in doubt is
conceded. The Republicans expect togain
it, and ti e Deni crats hold tenaciously to
the claim that it will lie anti-Republican
by from and lo 5 majority. The Oongres-
Riona! delegation is unchanged since yes
terday. I ne full list is as (ollows: First
■iPstrlc.. Hovey, Rep.; Second, O’Neal,

Tie Republicans gain throe districts,
the First. Ninth ami Twelttb. The Re
publican State Central Committee has
official returrs from 82 counties, which
shtiw a Republican net gain on the vote
of is-; (,i 5,054. Estimating the ten re
maining counties on the basis of 1884
gives a Roruibiican plurality ou the State
ticket or 8,142.

MINNESOTA’S GOVERNOR.
The Race so Close that, the Official
Count May Have to Decide It.
St. Paul, Minn., Nov. 4. —The returns
all day have been generally favorable to
the Democrats, and the most sanguine Re
publicans are not now claiming the elec
tion of McGill as Governor by more than
5,000, while the Democrats are elated
and confident that Dr. Ames will be
elected by a small majority. The re
turns are coming in slowly. Hundreds
ot precincts ih the State are remote from
telegraphic communication, and it is
quite probable that it may take
the official count to decide it. In
Hennepin county, the home of Dr. Ames,
some 1,500 ballots for him were thrown
out, it is said, because the words “Labor
Ticket” were printed thereon. Offsetting
this the Republicans claim extensive
Democratic frauds inthis( Ramsey) eoun
tv. Whether McGill is elected or not,theKe
publlcan Stale ticket as a whole certainly
is, as be ran about 12.000 behiud the other
candidates for State offices.
The Minnesota Legislature has 150
members, viz: 47 Senators and 108 Repre
senatlves. In the last Senate there were
30 Republicans and 11 Democrats and in
the House 79 Republicans and 24 Demo
crats. it, is impossible to give figures on
the composition of the next Legislature,
but the estimates give the Senate 80 Re
publicans and 15 Democrats and the
House 75 Republicans and 25 Democrats
and Fanners’ Alliance men.
COLORADO’S CAPTURE.
The Legislature Almost Undoubt
edly Democratic.
Denver, Col., Noy. 4.—The election of
Adams, Dem., for Governor by 2,000 plu
rality is conceded by the Republicans.
All but six counties of the State have been
heard from giving returns on Congress
men. The vote from them is about even.
The counties yet to come in have always
been Democratic. So the Indications are
in favor of a small majority lor Reed,
Dem. The Democrats in Arapahoe
county elect 0 and possibly 7 out
of eight Representatives, and cue
Senator. This is an increase ot seven in
tbe lower house and one in the Senate. A
majority of the other counties have oeen
carried by the Democrats, so there is little
doubt that they will have control of tbe
lower bouse and possibly tbe Senate. Tbe
remainder of the State ticket, except Sec
retary, Auditor, aiul possibly Attorney
General, Is claimed by the Democrats.
MICHIGAN CUT DOWN.
The Republican Plurality for Gov
ernor Not to Exceed 7,000.

Wisconsin's Governor.
Milwaukee, Nov. 4—Gov. Rusk

turns from all the legislative districts
the Sentinel to-night figures that the Re
publicans will have a majority ol 36 over
all opposition in the Legislature on joint
ballot, and that they control botli
Senate and Assembly. The plurali
ties in tho Congressional dis
tricts are: First, Caswell, Uep., 800;
Second, Guenther, Rep., 4,200; Third,
LaFoilette. Dem., 3,500; Fourth, Smith,
Labor, 3,500; Fifth, Hudd, Dem., 6,000;
Sixth,Clark, Rep.,3,300; Seventh, Thomas.
Rep,,4,500; Eighth, Brice, Rep., eight

with an estimated plurality in the district
of 10,000; Ninth, Stephenson, Rep., 3,000.

Journal received the following to-night:

THE ENQUIRER’S FIGURES.
Cincin n ati, Nov. 4.—The Enquirer will
print the following figures to-morrow:
“Carlisle goes out of Kenton and Camp
bell counties with 2,062 majority to over
come. Six remaining counties give him,
as near as can be ascertained, 2,265 ma
jority, which is our lowest judgment. His
majority at present, theretore, stands at
208.”
New Jersey’s Legislature.
Trenton, N. J , Nov. 4.—The result hh

in Salem, Burlington, the Third district
of Passaic and the Second district of Es

Florida Jealous ot tier Honor.
Jacksonville, Nov. 4.—Pendleton,
| the Labor candidate in the First Florida
district, is not elected, us he would appear
to be from the estimate mude ot tho com
plexion of the next House of Riq>re*enta
tives by the Secretary of the Republican
Congressional Committee. On the con
trary, his competitor, Davidson, Demo
crat, is re-elected by at least 8,000 major
ity. The Legislature is overwhelmingly
Democratic, thus insuring the eiectiou
ot a Democratic Senator to succeed Mr.
Jones.
Pennsylvania’s Delegation.
PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 4.—Official re

CLEVELAND’S INTEREST.
Some of the Candidates for Whom
He Felt Especially Friendly
Washington, Nov. 4.—The President’s
thoughts as he sat in his library on Tues
day night listening to theelection returns,
read to him by Col. Lamont, were in New
York and Massachusetts. He wanted liis
friend Rufus W. Peckbani elected to tho
Court of Appeals for reasons of personal
friendship. He wanted John F. Andrew
elected Governor of Massachusetts for
tne effect that such an indorsement of
his administratiou would have upon
the rest of the country. The campaign
in Massachusetts was practically fought
over his administration. The success of
Andrew would be, tne President felt, his
own success. He was annoyed because
he could not get full returns about either
of the elections until a very late hour.
For other contests he cared very much
less The first bit of election news he got
was a private telegram from Leopold
Morse, of Boston, announcing that, he had
beaten A. A. Ranney for Congress. This
was particularly gratifying to the Presi
dent because lianuey made no other bid for
votes than that based upon the fact that
he conducted the Pan Electric investiga
tion and wrote the report of the majority
of the committee condemning Attorney
General Garland other and members ol
the administration. It is a sore defeat for
Ranney, because he looks down upon
Morse as irom a lofty height of supe
riority.
SPIRIT OF THE PRESS,
English Newspapers Drawing Mor
als from the Vote for George,
London, Nov. 4.—The Pall Mall Ga
zette, speaking of the Mayoralty contest
in New York, says: “The vote for Henry
George is by far the most important po
litical event of the day. It Is a message
of hope irom the New World to the Old,
unexpected light bursting forth in a dark
place. Henry George is a visionary
idealist and utterly impracticable, but
were he as mad as a March hare all tbe
same, the votes for him mean a protest
against the rule of Mammon, and will
give impetus to disoussion of the ques
tion of the condition of the people
throughout tho world.”
The Times, commenting on the election
in New York, says: “It shows that the
opponents of anarchy and spoliation have
not awakened an instant too soon to tho
perils of the situation. Both the Demo
cratic and Republican parties have suf
fered, and the danger is that these lobbos
will tempt machine men to traffic with the
promoters ot George’s candidature to
meet the demands of predatory Socialism.
Enterprising and industrious Americans
must look to it lest the appeals of dema
gogues to the halt-instructed, restless
artisans iu their great cities .should infliot
damage upon the public credit and para
lyze the productive resources of the
country.”
The Standard commenting on the unex
pected number of votes oast for Henry
George, asks New York what it will do
with the fact that one voter in three backs
the opinion that the French revolution is
about to be repeated in America, and
says: “Such polls look as if tbe great na
tion was playing with edged tools with a
recklessness dangerous tor others than
children.”
The St. .lames Gazette says or the vote
for George: “It is a significant and un
pleasant fact that in tbe great American
city of New York such a large proportion
of ibe workingmen are prepared to vote
lor the gospel of confiscation. Tbe elec
tion should cause ail respectable Ameri
cans to forget the trumpery ot party fights
and political inoirt'erentisin, and face the
now danger that is threatening the com
i monwealth.”
WATTKKSON’B note ok w arning.
Louisville, Ivy., Nov. 4,—Tbe Courier
'.Journal says to-da.v: “The House is
saved to us, but il lost it should only im
press on us the necessity of putting on
the whole armor ot the Democracy. Tbe
gigantic power of the concentrated and
ill-gotteu wealth of the North is arrayed
against its. It was this wealth tnat
made Hurd’s viotory impossible. It was
this wealth that was poured out like
water in Morrison’s district. It was this
] blood money that organized the labor
societies of Covington and Newport
against Carlisle. The danger iu this is
something more than political—it is moral
and social. This money is debauching
voters. To these public plunderers
bribery is virtue. They stop at nothiug,
and will buv the oonstituents of a repre
sentative they find it impossible to buy.”

Augusta, ga., Nov. 4.—The following
agreement was eutered into to-day be
tween the Southern Manufacturers’ Con
vention and the Executive Committee of
the Knights of Labor:
1. The pass system and petty tyrannies
complained of shall be abolished.
2. No former employe shall be deprived

5. In case of the discharge of an em
ploye for cause the position or machine
ol suoh employe shall not be boycotted.
6. The mills snail ootamence work next
Monday.
This agreement has bean signed, in be
half of the General Executive Board of
tbe Knights or Labor, by James A.
Wright, and in bebair of the Southern
Manufacturers’ Association by Charles
C. Goodrich, Secretary and Treasurer.
Committeemau Wright addressed aineet-
Ing of Knights and oitizents to-night at
Masonic Hall.
There is general rejoicing in Augusta
over the satisfactory and honorable settle
ment of tbe labor troubles. All the fac
tories will be ready to start up Monday,
after a strike in the case of the Augusta
Factory of over three mouths and a lock
out in the other mills of over two mouths.
THE MEETING AT NIGHT.
Masonic Theatre was literally packed
to-nigbt, the occasion being the address of
Committeeman Wright to the public. As
early as 0 o’clock the crowds commenced
to gather around the doors of the building,
and Manager Cohen was compelled to
throw the doors open an hour before the
appointed time. When the speaking began
there was not a vacant seat in the house,
and standing room was at a premium.
Thousands were turned away. On the
stage wore Mayor May, the City Council,
and many prominent clti|etis. Hon. Pat
rick W alsh presided. Committeeman
Wright captured his hearers, and im
pressed ail within sound ol his voice,
MR. WALSH SPEAKS.
Hon. Patrick Walsh also addressed the
crowd. Tbe best of feeling and the
greatestenthusiasm prevailed. Augusta
is in ecslacies over tbe work dune here
to day. Those idle mills have been eye
sores to tbe people, and the knowledge
that they are soon to start up infuses re
newed life and further efforts. Augusta,
despite the mill troubles has been prosper
ing, and now she will witness a season of
prosperity surpassing anything in her
previous history. To-night the Knights
of Labor are gathered in crowds about
the corners in West End discussing the
turn ot affairs. Mr. Wright’s name is on
everybody’s lips.
SOME DISSATISFACTION.
There are among the operatives those
who think the settlement of the difficulty
not honorable to tbeir organization, but
tbe great mass of them subscribe to it,
and are glad to get back into the milts
and to work. All hurtful talk and in
jurious bickerings have been buried iu
the general enthusiasm, and work will be
begun Monday with light and happy
hearts. Those who are dissatisfied with
tbe turn of affairs among the Knights
are looal leaders who have
no especial interest at stake
and whose objections amount to nothing
whatever. The feeling among tho Knights
is so jubilant that they roundly ap
plauded Mr. Walsh, where in his speech
lie told them that they had acted wrong in
striking, and had asked impossibilities of
the mills. The women Knights are
especially pleased.

ATI,ANT V POLITICS.
The noport of the Committee of
r>o Followed l>v a Lively Split.
Atlanta, Ua., Nov. 4. — The report of
the Committee ol Fifty on the municipal
ticket was presented to the largest and
most intelligent mass meeting ever as
sembled in Atlanta at the court house to
night. Judge W. li. Hammond, chair
man ol the committee, submitted the
t icket, headed by John Tj lor Cooper, for
Mayor, and the other names mentioned in
the News heretofore. Smith Clayton, an
anti-Prohibitionist,, moved that the ticket
be considered name by name.
Hoke Smith, an anti-Prohibitlonist from
the Committee of Fifty, offered a substi
tute that the ticket bo ratified as a whole.
A lively debate ensued, Smith Clayton,
John Hauslen, Frank Haralson ami
others supporting the motion, amt
Hoke Smith, Albert Cox and Henry Gra
dy speaking for the substitute. The dem
onstration showed that those for the mo
tion and those for the substitute were
about, equally divided and were deter
mined not to yield.
At length, amid the wildest uproar,
James O’Neil moved to lay the substitute
on the table.
The Chairman, Alderman Charles ('oi
lier, would not put the motion, but enter
tained a motion made by somebody else
that the substitute be adopted.
Amid the greatest confusion there was
a boisterous sound of ayes, followed by
an equally boisterous sound of nays.
Under the circumstances a call tor a
division was impossible, and Mr. Collier
yelled out that the ticket was ratified by
the adoption of the substitute. The meet
ing then broke up in a row, and the fac
tions left the hall equally divided. The
outlook to-night is that the foreign ele
ment will put up a man in the Third ward
against Hoynton, aud that the Knights of
Labor will put up a man against Nelson
In the Fourth ward. Many opponents ol
the ticket present favor bringing out a

Skdalia, Mo., Nov. 4.—Tho bitter feel
in* existing between the Gentry and!
Heard faotions of the Democratic party*
came very near resulting in bloodshed
yesterday afternoon.
Major William Gentry published a card
in one of tho local papers Tuesday ini
which he repudiated Congressman Heard,
anu gave as a reason that the latter bait
pandered to the Knights of Labor. Yes
terday morning Air. Heard puolisbed a.
card denouncing the charge that he had
pandered to the Knights of Labor as an:
infamous falsehood, and asserting that!
his refusal to recommend Mr. Gentry’*
son-in-law for Postmaster of Bedailia,:
was tire true cause of the difficulty bo-1

Shortly after 1 o’clock T. W. Cloney
son-in-law of Maj. Gentry, stepped int
the offico of Sichor’s Hotel, where thw
Congressman and his brother were,
seated. Mr. Heard spoke pleasantly to
Mr. Cloney. who turned fiercely upon himi
and called" him a lying . Mr. Heard;
was in the act of arising to his feet to res
sent the Insult, when Mr. Cloney seized a
cane and dealt him a severe blow on tba
side of the head. The Congressman was
on his leet in an instant, wresteu the cans
from his assailant and threw him on the*
floor. Friends separated the combatant*
and endeavored to effect a conciliation.

Pittsburg, i’A., Nov. 4. —John .1 arrett,
ex-Presidentof tho Amalgimat and Associa
tion of Iron aud Steel Workers, has re
turned from the West, where he had been
conducting a tariff campaign against Mr.
Morrison and other free traders, in an
Interview Mr. Jarrett stated that he did
not go on the mission oi his own volition,
hut was sent as the representative of tha
American 'fin Plate Association, of*
which he is Secretary. So far as he couldj
learn the iron and steel manufacturers of
this section had not contributed a cent
toward tho defeat Of the free traders iqj
tho West.
APPEALS UNANSWERED.
Appeals lor money were made to friends
in Pittsburg, huttboy were not answered.
When asked about the sentiment in re
gard to the tariff in Illinois, Mr. Jarrettj
replied: “In all the two weeks wnioh l
spent there 1 did not And one man in
of free trade. The tariff feeling is rapidly
growing through the West and South.”
“1 suppose that the new iron mills in
Birmingham, Ala., andoth -r parts of tho
South arouse this ieellngf”
ALL BOSH.
“Yes,” said Mr. Jarrett. “I found that
to he the case all through the South when
* I went there two months ago, and, as anj
illustration of the charge of sentiment
there, I may mention the cubb of an old!
farmer 1 met in Tennessee, who told mo
that before the iron mills were started in
his vicinity he could not get $lO an acre
for his land. lie was ihen a free-trader.
Since then he can get $l5O an acre, and
now be is a tariff man.”
.Mr. Jarrett, in conclusion, attributed
the defeat ol Frank Ilurd, Morrison and
Randolph Tucker to the growing senti
ment in favor of the tariff in the South
and West.
