The Next u. s. Senate SO Reps,
SO Denis.

There being SO States in the I'm
ion there are in full United States
Senate 70 Senators. OF those con-
shutting the present Senate 80 are
Republicans and the others-43 in
number-may be clsssed as Demo.
Gratis, including Davis of Illinois and
Withers of Virginia The terms of
"a Senators expire March Sd. next
year, IA of whom are Democrats and
10 Republicans. The Democrats
whose terms expire are from Con.
neciicut, Delaware, Florida, Indiana,
Maryland, Missouri, New Jersey,
New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Ten.
nessee, Texas, Virginia aud West
Virginia. The Republicans whose
terms expire are from Maine, Massa-
chusetts, Michigan, Minnesota. Mis-
sissippi, Nebraska, Nevada, Rhode
Island, Vermont and " rsin. The
prospect now is that tho Republicans
will lose the Mississippi Senator and
will gain Senator'S in Indiana, Con.
necticut, New Jersey, New York,
Ohio and Pennsylvania. This will
be Republican net gain of FIVE Sem
ators. That number taken away
from the present 43 Democrats would
leave them SO and that number add
ed to the present 33 Senator'S would
give them 3s. The Senate would
then be tie and the Vice President,
with his tie vote, would become q
more important man, ss law making
machine, than ever before. For the
two years of the next Congress the
laws of the United States, whore par.
ty issues are involved, will depend
upon the will of Chester A. Arthur.

pertinent questions, es to whether it
would be safe to restore to mower
the old Bourbon Democratic party.
These questions are well worthy of
careful consideration, and being as
applicable TO Republicans in Wis

present them, as follows

The Fair.

Inc llst OF premiums awarded at
the Grant County Fair is pub
lished in another column. The Fair
was not SO good as it ought to have
been. The attendance appeared to
be 10 excess of the past few years,
and money enough was received to
pay all expenses. with a small bal
ance. But the show was poor.
The entries numbered 404-about
20 less than last year. Tho amount
paid in premiums was $40. The
exhibit Of stock, thanks to such
men as HowdIe, Tormey, Hull, H.
Smith, e. Mccormick, Bsllantine
Bros, Rhodes and scme others, was
pretty good. The most conspicu-
Gus thing about the Fair
was the black'legs. They were
placed on the most imposing spot on
the whole sixty scres. A passage
from one class of exhibits to another
without coming in contuct with
them was scarcely possible. 10 the
face of the society's regulstions,pub
lished by its officers every year, the
presence Of these men, vile as cut
threats, is unaccountable. This rule
is in these words ''There will be
allowed no gambling of any kind,
nor any games of chance, lotteries,
gift enterprises or pool selling upon
or adjacent to the grounds, upon
any pretenss whatever" The gam
bling carried on was Of the very
basest sort. The men engaged in il
are strangers that would not tell
whore they belonged. Their bust.
ness is, by the laws of Wisconsin, q
penltentiary crime. Our Fairs are
ostensibly shows to encourage in

of change or cur Fairs are "gone

of interest is hardly chargsable to
the gamblers, for until this year
these have had no aggravated ap.
pearanoe. But mechanics and agri.
eult1rists have generally come to
the conclusion that the Fairs are OF
no valUe to their business, or some
thing is wrong with the manage
ment. AT Lancaster it is no worse
than at most other places. We see
by exchanges the complaint is gen.
eral. County fairs are not sustained,
