Senatorial Comics Is.

The conversational committees Of both par.
ties, especially of the Republican party, are
preparing to give considerable attention III the
coming campaign to the election Of legisla-
lures which arc to choose senators. Already
the field has been thoroughly looked over AMI
the situation pretty carefully diagnosed
eleven Republicans and fourteen Democrats
complete their terms Of Office on the 4th Of
March next. The Republicans who go out are
Cameron Of Pennsylvania, Cameron OF Wis
consin, Morrill, of Vermont, Lapham OF New
York, Blair of New Hampshire, Jones Of Ne
vada, Ingalls, of Kansas, Allison of Iowa,
Logan of Illinois, Platt Of Connecticut
and Hill of Colorado. It is pretty
sylvanis, will desire d re-election and that
such desire on his part is equivalent to an
election. Senator Morrill, Of Vermont will, Of
course, return. Senator Blair Of New Hamp-
shire would like to come back, bnt to do this
he will have to be up pretty early in the morn-
position. Senate ingalls, Of Kansas will doubt
less come back, as will Allison Of Iowa The
name of the Hon Andrew Shunlan chief editor
Of the Chicago Journal, who has had good
deaf Of political experience, is boin; mentioned
for Logan's place. Ex-Congressnlan Farwell,
who Was in the Forty-Sixth and Forty Seventh
congresses, and who is q man of wealth and ex-
perience as g. LEGISLATOR, might prove candl
date.
OF the fourteen Democrats, whose terms es-
election of successors to Williams, Of kentucky;
Jonas, Of Louisiana; Groome, OF Maryland; and
Pendleton, of Ohio In Missouri it is expected
that Senator Vest will be returned II Indians
there is likely to be pretty hot fight over the
legislature. Congressman Calklns, the present
candidate for governor Of that state, has an eye
on the senatorship, and should he succeed IN
carrying the state and Legislature for the Re
publicans, he will be likely to be elected as
Voorhees, successor. In California the Re-
publicans believe that they viii elect legis-
lature and a Republican successor to Senator
Farley. On the other hand, the Democrats
claim to be confident of carrying New York
and Nevada, 30 az, to send Democratic success
aors for the Republicans now representing
those states in the senate. From Georgia and
Florida it is expected that the present occu-
pants will be returned In North Carolina
there is to be strong effort to carry the legis-
lature and elect Republican senator in place
of Senator Vance It is pretty certain that
eight of the Republicans viii be succeeded by
Republicans and that of the fourteen retiring
Democrats, eleven will be succeeded by
three Democrats doubtful. The senate
now stands thirty eight Republicans
thirty-six Democrats and two Readiusters
who vote with the Republicans. The Republi-
cans practically have forty members. The
eleven who are to retire next March will
duce the number to twenty-nine. Add to these
the eight certain Republican successors of re-
firing members, and the number would be
thirty seven The gain that has been made in
Oregon increases the number to thirty-eight,
or just half the senate. So that if even the
Democrats were to carry the legislatures of all
the doubtful states there would be tie Should
they do this and the Democratic president and
vice president be elected, tie vice presidents
vote on q tie would make the senate Dem
Ocratic. 1888 5sStE
