A SENSIBLE DEMOCRATIC VIEW OF IT.-Whiic the
Democrats only control the Senate if they sue
coed in Tennessee. and retain the Votrs of MahOne
Fair and Davis, the Republicans will control il in
either one of the following contingencies.
II Malone goes to the Republicans.
II Davis, of Illinois, should net with the Republic
cans.
II Fair should 90 with the Republicans.
If Tennessee should return iI1lrpenhen or
Republican.
II Grover should die. a. his successor would be
appointed by Republican Governor.
The chances, in opinion, decidedly in favor
of the Republicans. They will buy up Malone with
patronage, and that alone will give them control u
