gain five senators 70 give them work
ing mbiority in the senate. II Is very
certain now that they have not gained
the legislatures that will elect the new
senators, and the Republicans will
still have control OF that branch Of
congress.
The Democrats have lost two sena-
tors ia Oregon and California. They
have gaiRed one IN Illinois, probably
one in Connecticut, and have held
their own in other states where sena-
torial terms expire. They may have
gained one in Nevada, but IL cannot
be positively known for some time
how the legislature OF that state
stands. Without 1t, the Democrats
still have thirty.three, the Republi-
cans thirty.nine and the Readlusters
two.
There is the strongest probability
that the elections of 1887 will give the
Democrats control OF the senate and
all other branches OF the general gov
eminent, IL they use their newly
acquired power with moderation ard
wisdom. The terms of Republican
senators end in 1857 In Indiana and
New Jersey and they will with
ont doubt be replaced by Demo-
Gratis. Mahoneis term will end
then and there is no question that
Democrat will succeed to his place.
Such a result will then give the Demo-
Gratis thirty-six senators, the RepuDli-
cans thirty.seven, and one Readjuster,
Riddleberger Of Virginia. who is more
likely 10 ally himself with the Demo-
Gratis than with the Republicans.
