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.

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, Den.: Third. Howard, Dem.; Fourth. Holman.

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. CONNOLLY’S s FLEEX. Springer’s Victory Maddens the Radical.

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. Detroit, Nov. 4.—The latest returns do not materially change the Republican plurality ter Governor, and full returns will make the figure not far from 7,000.

Wisconsin's Governor. Milwaukee, Nov. 4—Gov. Rusk estimates that his plurality will exceed 30,000. From complete re 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.

Louisville, Nov. 4.—The Courier- Journal received the following to-night: Covington, Ky.,Nov. 4, 1886. X am elected by from 500 to 600 majority. John G. Carlisle. 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 to the Legislature Is still in doubt. A re count has been demanded in several leg islative Uistnots. A majority of one. Newark, N. J., Nov. 4.—The Legisla ture, by tbe latest count, has a Demo cratic majority of one oil joint ballot, without Dor.abue, the Labor Assembly, men of l’assaic. There will be recounts in Salem, Burlington, the Third district of Passaic and the Second district of Es j sex counties. 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 turns trom the six counties comprising tbe Twentieth Congressional district show the election of John Patton, Rep., over J. Iv. P. Hall, l)em., by 818 majority.

C., Nov. 4.—The Seoond Congressional distriot was carried by tbe Republicans, Abbott, colored, being elected. _____ 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.” __ Got hum's Central Labor Union. New York. Nov.4.—The Central Labor j Union Campnlgn'C’oinmUtee met to-ntghi I and considered the question of forming a permanent political organization. A j call will be issued soon to all the districts for delegates to a convention to bo held at ! an early date, and at which it ia proposed 1 to lurm anew i arty that shall take au 1 active part iu tho oativasa of 1688.

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. MACON AT THE FAIR. Awards in Two of tho Departments —The Races of the Day.

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 new ticket, which may be done. CHARLESTON'S RALLY, Business Lively—Last Meeting of Boston's Belief Committee. Charleston, 8.

PEACE AT PHILADELPHIA. The Trouble at the Troth and Other Mills Settled. Philadelphia, Nov. 4.—Another im portautoonferenco was held this afternoon between the members ot the Aid Commit tee of the Philadelphia Manufacturers’ Association and the General Executive Board of the Knights of Labor by which the Frankford troubles are practically settled.

CHICAGO’S HOUR WAR. Very Little Change in the Situation at the Packing Houses. Chicago, Nov. 4.—There were no further strikes at the stock yards this morning, although it was intimated that the men at the other houses besides Swift’s and Morris’ might go out, as many of them as are dissatisfied at being com pelled to work ten hours. Messrs. Swift and Morris continue to ship cattle to the East to be killed and the former has a strong force of men at work. The strikers are quiet, and the only net of violence on their part was an attack last night on Henry Levy Nelson, Morns’nephew, who was beaten almost Into insensibility on the Forty-ihlrd street viaduct.
