Upturns Show Carlisle's "Majority to Uo Seven Uunilrnct Minnesota Httll In Doubt-Other Election News. Tin : Power of Ijnlior. WASiuxnroN , Nov. 5. ( Special Tclceram to tlio I5ii.J : CoiiKresslonal Usurers are still unable to tell the complexion of the next home. Although returns have been received as fnst as made out nnd the states gene over cnrefullv n mimbci of tlme , doubtful dis tricts about ten of them lento the situation very nearly as U was twenty-four hours azo. The figures fiom two districts In Illinois , one In Ohio , three In Missouri , ono In Now York and tlio uncertainly of the outcome In two or throe other dlstilcts In ns many stales , make the Ililnt calculations c.Ur'-mcly doubtful. It Is more thnn likely , however , that the demo crats will have a plurality. This will leave the halanco of power In the hands ot the labor members and make the fusion of that ( diength with either or tlio regular paitles urobably in the organbatlon ami selection of n speaker a matter of speculation. It Is not asure : thingt-y nny means that Mr. Carlisle will wield the gavel In the Fiftieth congress , even though his paity has elected mete inembeis than the lepublicans have. There is talk of u fusion of the labor nnd lepubll can members whereby the former will be given the .speakeiship , but this Is meicly talk nnd Its frullion will depend solely upon the laborers having n competent man for tlio position. Great anxiety is yet evinced over the Indiana leglslatuie. The lepublicans believe that it will develop In a majority for them and retuin Senator Harrison , as they nro unwilling to concede the election ot tlie state ticket and the defeat of the legislature , when the light was made especially with in ference to the latter. But thcie seems little , if any , doubt that thu lepublicans have gained a senator in California , saved Senator Van Wyck in Nehiaska , Senator Miller in New York , and held their own elsewhere. HANDAI.I.'H rowiit : noNR. Secictary MePherson , of tlio republican concessional campaign committee , says that after an analysis of thu results In various dlstrlctshe believes the icsults area sequence of democratic eiTorts to leform the tariff and dissatisfaction overtliedlstiibutlon of federal ollices. He believes that Randall will have less power In the house than ever because ho will bo slioin of all that abstract respectability given him by the republicans on account , of holding thu balance of power on tarill le form. Now ho will bo needed onlv by the democials , and as ho will not go with them in all ot their refoims nnd has not their con fidence bo will not bo wanted anywhere.

"Oil yes , " icplicd Mr. Nash , "tlio general made speeches while nt home.

Com missioner of Patents Montgomery was also Infoimcd by Secretary Lamar that if ho Hhould make n speech at his own homo at Lansing , Mich. , on the last night of the cam paign ho would In so doing violate tlio older ot Mr. Cleveland.

Civil Seivico Commissioner ICdgciton finds himself In rather a peculiar fix : by thu elec tion of a icpublican lieutenant govrinor of Indiana. Mr. Knblnson and Mr. Kdgeiton both live In Indiana and very near each other. Some years ago when Mr. KdMoiton was running for olllce , Robinson said that If Jlr. Kdgeiton wns elected he would go over to the hitter's JIOIKU and make a speech 1'iom the fiont poicli. Mr. Kdgeiton said he would bo veiy it lad to listen to such a speech , but .Mr. Robinson did not have a chance to make It , hecauso Mr. Kdneiton was not elected. Someyeais later Mr. Koblnson was nominated for the s.imo olllce. ami Mr. 1M- Burton , not to bo outdone by Mr. Robinson , remarked that If Mr. Robinson was elected ho would go to thu hitter's house and make a speech. Ho even went tardier nnd said It ever Mr. Robinson was elected ho would go to his house and address the people id Foil Wnynu from tlio front porch , but Mr , Koblnson was not elected. Last summer Mr. Kdircitun was home when Mr. Robinson was niznln nominated by the lepublicans for lieu tenant governor , A f i lend came to him and said : "Coiiioover to Robinson's house and make that speech"butMr. Kdgerton replied , "I said If no was elected , not nominated , nnd so I will. I will sav ho Is a good man , but I don't ndmiio his politics. Oh. if ho Is elected I will make n good speech. " This satisfied ( lie gentleman , Mr. Robinson has been elected nnd that Is why Mr. ICdgciton feels uncomfortable. Ho fears that a delega tion will eoii'u on and take him home to make Ihe speech. When tlio promise to speak wns made Mr. Edjeiton did not think Mr. Koblii'ou had any chance ol election , but this has been a "funny election , " nr.iu'icixo fi.r.vKi.AND. Democrats at living hero fiom all parts ot thu country , and csiH-clally trom Indiana , say they lo t the elections on Tues day lust thioiiclt a lack of enthusiasm for thn administration. Democratic voters icfttscd to go to the polls , saying thnt when they got n democrat In thu While House at the head of aiTairs they would tnku some Inteiest In na tional politics , but us long as they simply had u man who Kept n soil of motcctorato over oftlce-holders and did nothing for tlie party , they would not vote for national or stale oiliccrs. It Is now pictty generally conceded thnt the lower house of congress will be democratic- a veiy suin.ll mujoi Hy. Carlisle' * ! District. ' CixcisKA'ii , Nov. 0.

The opin ion hero Is universal that the cause of the sniprisliK'ly eleMi contest lay In the fart that nearly nil democrats In the back counties weie unaware of any formal opposition to Cat lisle and thousands of them staved home.

With reference lo Ids compara tively small majotity Carlisle said Id- nlRlit to an associated press reporter : "If the vote niralnst me last Tuesday had been lamer than the vote auatnst me heretofore , someslgnllicanco might bu attached to U. bucli , however , Isiiota fact. Two years ace my opponents received neatly as twice as many votes as weie cast against me on Tuesday , and vet two ve.us ago my majority wasO.nuo. If ft had been generally supposed thattho opposition to mo icnlly amounted to anything I think my majority nt this elec tion would have been six or seven thousand. In outside cities and towns It was scarcely known 1 had an opponent , and oven In cities nnd towns my fi lends attached veiy little im portance to the opposition. They weio thrown oh" their guaid by tlio tact that several times heietolorecandidates bad announced themselves In opposition nnd had received n very small vote. " Cm lisle did not think his views on the tarltf affected tlio vote to any extent. Carlisle said further : "The losses aio by no means confined to states or dis tricts vvhcro the leniosentntives voted to con sider the tnrilf bill at the last session of con- giess , and there Is nothing in the icsult to dlsconiaue the advocates of reform. Many causes eontillmlod to the defeat of our can didates In different localities. Some of these causes were local , some general. It Is too early to attempt to unnmeiato them , but I think It Is safe to sav that local causes Imvu contributed far moro to pioduce the result than general ones. At any rate there Is no just cause for alarm or despondency. The demociatlc paity lias survived many defeats which would bu fatal to any other political organl/atlon , and this little repulse will only stimulate it to irio.iterexertions in tlm tutnie. We need not surrender nny principle or abandon any policy heretofore announcedbut we must picparo to mectoiiropponcnts open ly and manfully on every issuetliat divides tlio two parties.

The democtatic state cential committee claim the stale for Ames hy 0,000 majority. The Glebe figures the slate to Amei by l.noo , and concedes tlio election of the icst of the lepubllcan state ticket , and says the republicans elected 114 out of 1M ) members of thu state legislature. Returns have not been received fiom all counties yet , and botli pnr- tles have raised the cry ot fraud. The republican state committee claims the state for goveinor by J.SOO , while the demociats claim It for Amos by 5,000 to 7,000. It will no doubt require thu ollleial count to determine who are elected to .state ollices. The Evening Dispatch , Irom letnrns le- celved , and without estimates trom pieclnets not yet bcaid from , fignies out a majoiity for Ames , democrat , for goveinor , of fifteen hundred.
