Daily Republican., 1880-07-31

Republicans, leaving majority OF te
II for the Democrats. The terms of twenty
% five Senators expire on the fourth Q
l. next March, of which eleven are Re
J. publicans.
q All of the Republicans will be eithe
) returned or succeeied by other Repub
ii licans except in the case Of Bruce o
9 Mississippi. The Democratic bulldoze
n elected by fraud and violence has alreay
@ been chosen who is to succeed him ant
4 Mississippi, a state that would at aSy
time in a fair election give $4,000 Re
> publican majority, for six years will be
misrepresented in the Senate by a
southern braggart besmirched from
head to foot with fraud and blood. The
terms of fourteen Democrats will also
expire and some Of their places will be
filed we are happy to say by Repuh-
lioans. Maryland has already chosen
a Democratic Senator to take the place
OF Senator Whyte; consequently 60 far
as her political complexion in the next
Congress is concerned there will be no
change. In Ohio The Republicans have
gained a Senator, General Garfield hav-
ing been elected to succeed Thurman
and as the Senator will be elected to
the chief magistracy ia November next
Ohio will elect another Senator, and
the Legislature being strongly Repub
lican and likely to remain 30, the
person SO elected will be Republican.
The mixed up condition of parties in
Virginia has resulted in the election Of
an ex-confederate General, William |
Malone to the Senate to succeed SenA-
tor WitherS. Between Republican and
Democratic, Malone is the latter, but
the revolution in politics in Virginia
made Malone dependent on the sup
port Of part of the Republicans
Of the State. Being elected as a read
juster he is prepared Of course to act
with which ever party may favor his
financial views, 30 far as finances are
concerned, but upon all other questions
Of political nature it is reasonable to
suppose that he will act in concert with
the Democrats, but there is a possibil-
ity that by extreme persecution Malone
may be driven in order to protect him
self to act with the Republicans. This
We believe constitutes The list OF the
elections for Senators so far as they
have gone, and the contest may be con- ,
sidered a drawn battle, one Democrat
Aaving been elected to succeed Re. ,
publican and one Republican elected to !,
succeed a Democrat. II there is any
Inference it is in favor Of the tspubls:,,.
'ans, made so by the election OF Mr..
In Pennsylvania the term of sena.
or Wallace will expire by the fourth :,
4 A.-rch next. He was elected at a r
line when the State was carried in an =
,r year by the Democrats, Such q .
King is not likely to occur again, and
It is almost absolutely certain that T
Wallace will be succeeded by Repub- 4
Lican. 1t is high time this coffee. pot q
Of votes should be retired =
and that Republican should be elect =
I'd to take his place. 1t will be done &
by the next Legislature. It is substan- :
tally certain that New York will elect
4 Republican to succeed Kernan, and
It is equally certain that Con. r
necticut will supplant Eaton, Dem.
ocrat, by a Republican. the Leg t
stature Of New Jersey IA Republican y
and likely to remain 30 next winter In b
which case Randolph Democratic will, s.
have to retire to be succeeded by Re- !,
publican. Indiana also gives great l
promise of political revolution which \
must result in retiring Mcdonald pres c
ent Democratic Senator and in the g
election Of o Republican. l.
As we have already stated the Senate &
forty-three Democrats and =
Republicans, giving the g
Democrats Senator David Davis Of n
Illinois. Allowing them gain Of one ,
in Mississippi, the count would stand n
forty-four Democrats to thirty-two Re-
publicans. Now deduct from the Dem :
ocratio column Of forty-four one each
rom the States Of Ohio, Pennsylvania,
New York, Connecticut, New Jersey
aud lndiana-Bix in all-and will leave n
hem thirty-eight. Add the same to
The Republican column of thirty-two
and II will make tho number thirty r
eight also.
This would practically make a Re-
publican Senate, with General Arthur u
as the presiding officer and empowered
with casting vote on all questions
where tie occurs. Besides this the II
Democrats will be weakened by the un.
certain position Of Senator Davis Of ILL
nois, and Senator Malone Of Virginia. a
