The apportionment of seats in the House of Representatives was based on the Tenth Census of the United States in 1880. The Senate had a Republican majority, and the House had a Democratic majority. {{TOC limit|2}}Major events{{Main|1887 in the United States|1888 in the United States|1889 in the United States}}Major legislation{{main|List of United States federal legislation}}- October 8, 1888: Chinese Exclusion Act (Scott Act)
