A DEMOCRATIC CONGRESS. Result of Tuesday's Election Shows Uiut Democrats Will Have Total of 230 or a Majority of 30 Re publicans Have 104 or 8 Less Thaai Democrats Had in Last Sesslos Other Election News. The sixty-second session of Con gress will show a membership in the House of Representatives of 22 S Democrats and 164 Republicans. The latest returns indicate that that Democrats will have a safe working majority of 30. The Republicans have 8 members less than the Dem ocrats bad at the last session. In the Senate the Republicans are assured of 1C new Senators which, with 34 holdover Senators, gives them a total of 50. The Democrats are assured of 15 new Senators, which, with 25 holdovers, gives them 40. Two are still In doubt. The to tal membership of the Senate Is 92 and hence it is seen that the parties are very evenly divided.
