Probabilities of the Coming Senate.
New York, Jan. 1.-THE Times
had a broadsde of specials from the
States to hold election for United
States Senators, which sum up as
follows: In the 16 States to elect,
Frye has received the caucus nomin-
alton in Maine and will be re-elec-
ted; Garland will be reelected with,
out opposition in Arkansas; Plumb
is very surr to be re elected IL Kan
sas; in New Jersey, Mcpherson
counts with security on goin. to
Washington as his own successor,
mainly through the power of his
long pnrse-judiciously used. In
Massachusetts Hoar's path is heavily
beset, and should he fail in the con
vention. Long will probably be cho-
sen, though there is a possibility Of
Bitter creeping in. In Minnesota
he Der CORA ic chances are good.
In Michigan, Ferry is con,ending
with somewhat doubtful prospect.
In Delaware, Bayard will probably
be re elected. In Tennessee, Harris
wi probabIy go back. In Colorado,
Phkin would be gratifying to the
party at large. 1t is too soon to for
tell with certainty the political COM
plexion of the Senate after the Sd
of March, bu; there is probability
the Republicans will have majority
only by the aid of the Virginia Read
justers, in which case it would be
far better to leave the organization
of the Senate to the Democrats than
to purchase the cooperation of the
Virginia Senators by such conces-
SONS as they have been in the habit
of demanding.
