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.

There will bu more contests in tlio fiftieth

This evening'H Critic says ; "The ie-olec-
lion ol Senator Van Wyck , ol Nebraska ,
will be unpleasant to some of his colleagues
because of his independent and aggressive
manner. Senator Van Wyck Is probably the
boldest man on the floor of the senate. Ho
strikes out fearlessly , and if his neatest
neighbor Is under u ban ho never feels sc-
ctiio. "

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 , "

almost Inaccessible. Two ot them

hut It Is probable that some In *
lormntlon mav ho obtained some
tlmedutlng the nk'lit to furnish material tor
n decisive statement of thn result. 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.
Uoono county , whlcli will give Carlisle about

S.I01 ; Theobo l.WJ. Carlisle's malorlty ,
70S. 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. "

next Minnesota legislature- will stand :
House Cl lepublicans , ! iS democrats , n alli
ance. Senate 23 republicans , 10 democrats ,
1 alliance.
From complete returns from every county
In thu state thu Pioneer Press figures a ma
jority of 8,000 for McGill , republican , lor
governor. 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.
Sr. 1'Aiii. , Nov. 5. Thico entire dajs have
passed slnco the polls were closed and it is
not yctccitalnlv known who is to bo tlio
nnxt governor of Minnesota. Both parties
still claim the election of their resieclive
candidates , and charges of fraud and pins-
pucta of n protracted contest and possible liti
gation are looming up unpleasantly. The
Evenlni ; Dispatch lias the following sum
mary : Forty complete counties , McGlll , b.2J" > ;
Ames. 17 , ! > .V ? ; twenty-six ' , nearly complete ,
Mctilll , D.400 ; Ames , 8,001 ; titteen counties
only mengerly repotted , Mcitlll , l.'JtO ; Ames
! 7 ; leaving Ames in tlis lead by 150. At the
Pioneer 1'iess It Is claimed that official re
turns to-day iccclved have Incicased McGlll's
majority to 2,0.7.5. It ligured out for McGill
this inorninp about 1,000 , so that his majoiity
now stands at about ! ! , .r > 00. This is on a basis
of the official ictuins from foitvcountice and
comprehensive but not complete teturns
from all thu others.

ST. Louis , Nov. S. [ Special Telegram to

says : Fianlc James , ex-train robber , received
the following letter yesterday , containing
four new bank hills :

Esq. Dear Sir : Please accept the Inclosed
us a memento of the lato'Fiisco train rob
bery of October 25. Yours truly.
JIM GmiMixns.
The Inclosnre consisted of four unsigned
national bank notes made for the Merchants'
and Planteis' National hank of Sherman ,
Mo. The notes were 'one 820 and three $10
bills , the latter of which had not been de
tached from each other. Th'e letter was wilt-
ten evidently in a disguised hand , and wns
mailed from St. Joseph on November ii.
Manager Damsel , of the express company ,
was shown the above dispatch , and said that
the detectives were already following up the
clew contained In It , but he did not know
whether the money stolen October i5 con
tained that iccelved by Frank James1 yester
day or not. Ho would ascertain , however ,
as soon as possible. Ho had two theories in
regard to tlio nflair : The real robber had
sent the letter to tuin suspicion upon James
nnd put the detectives on the wiong trail , or
else some ovcr-zcalons detective really I bought
Jim Cummincs and Frank James were one ,
nnd wanted to see what effect tlio reception
ot the letter and bank notes would have upon
him nnd what disposition lie would make of
them. The matter would bo fully investi

foid lo a icpoiter. "I don'lknow what tliosa
men wan tout thcie. We have been paylns-
higher scales of prices than anywlieio else In ,
the United States. Uutchuis have been mel
ting S'T a week , and common laborers Kef
M cents more a day than in tliu city here. L
don't believe the/ know themselves what
they Intend to do. I have hoatd many
rnmois , hut don't know yet
whether the hog men will RO out
at all. We nrocolmr to protect our property.
It Is better todo It now than alter the houses
are burned down. Yon know when these
men me not working themselves they can't
bear to see other people make money. What
the end will bu I don't know. I urn willing
for them to stiike or work just as they
please. If men strike we aie prepaied to
light them nil winter. Any way I wish they
would make up their minds , for I don't want
tolttiy a lot ot hogs and have them oat their
heads oft. "
Them Isn't anything talked of at the stock
raids among either men or .stoic ) < eopors but
tlio probable icsnlt of this strike. The stoie-
Keepers are ginm over it. They hue Ihoir
claims against the men endangered nnd Ihoir
business for the time at lenst , cut to pieces.
The striking beef men aie , ns n class , young ,
sturdy fellows , who give no thought to tlio
moriow. They have boon accustomed to bis
pay andshuit liouis , and I'm thu most part
me nomnils who tiavel light. The
dressed beef business is compatatlvcly now ,
and all the 1',000 ' men who aio now at uric
for Armour , Swift and Moiris have como
hctc within thu past low years fiom New
Yoik or lloston or Philadelphia , wheio heof
slaughtering used to be done. The utrlkers
apparently are careless about the odds. When
Swift nnd Moiris joined tlio packets' associa
tion thu stiikeis weie left without a weapon.
Tlio whole beef business is done here. Alt
the owners are In combination. Theieis no
squabble among them for each other's
customois. They are nil In the.
snino bo it. They will , for this
season , I eel veiy much lo s anxiety about
orders cettinc nwa > from them. Thcio is n
veiy different feeling among the down-town
packciK now than was evident a lo : fulfill
ago. Kiom Armour down none of them ap
pear to feel the least amiety over the result ,
Indeed , theio is ICHSOII to believe that for
spcculatlvn icasont , some of the hog packers
aie not sorry to see something occur to ad
