/ There are 33 districts in the
State, the first having 4 Senators
Five others have two each, and the
remainder one. In several insta n
ces two Senatorial districts are
thrown together to entitle them te
Jointly elect either one or two Sen
at.rs. The allowance made for frac
tious raises the number of Senators
to 81 for the next General Assem-
bly,.
In 1883 SO the number of Sena-
tors will be 36, and in 1890 81, il
will be the same.
There is every reason to believe
that the Democrats will.be able to
control the next State Senate, even
if they are not able to elect ma
jority of the House. l do not think
that there is a single county in the
State IN which the Democrats will
not be able to increase their Majori
t. of 1884 in October noxt, and in
some of them very materially. II
they hold their own they will olect
a majority of the Senate, conced
ing both Cincinnati and Cleveland
to the Republicans, On their full
Senatorial delegations.
Taking the vote of last fall the
party majorities in the different dis
tricts are as follows, the number of
Senators in each district being Civ
en- also:
1st dist 4 Senators, Republican 2488.
End dist 1 Senator, Depocrtic Il66

This would give the Democrats
19 and the Republicans Is Sena-
tors, conceding that the Democrats
will not be able to elect either OF
the six in Cincinnati or Cleveland,
which is not conceded by any means.
In the 3Oth district the Democratic
majority will be largely increased
by Montgomery county. So that
that district is safe. In the 9th,
where the Democratic majority is
the smallest, it will be increased by
several hundred. In all the other
Democratic districts the majorities
are too large to admit ofany doubt.
OF the Republican districts the 21st
is the closest, and the Stark county
Democrats claim that they will be
able to increase their majority suf-
fcientIy to defeat the Republican
candidate. In the 18th district the
Repubi ican majority is small, but
it can hardly be overcome. All the
probabilities. however, point to a
Democratic majority of one or two
i'm the Senate of the 9th General
Assembly.
Doesn't it strike you-by the
way-as very queer that the Re
publicans papers fcel so bad over
President Cleveland's deliberation
in turning the rascals out of Office 2
They are the only ones who seem
10 feel supremely unhappy about
it. And what they have to say is
rather in the nature Of a growl 9th
er than complaint.
1t is true that Fred MISSY, in
the Commercial, undertakes 10 do
some very severe criticising, but
when it is boiled down it is found
on'y to be lot of vaporing for The
purpose of filling space, and make
his readers think he is unusually
smart
| 1t is true enough that the Re-
publican leaders and press are very
much disappointed in Cleveland's S
administration. They were going
to have him smash the 60 vernment
all to pieces by this time. so that
the Republican State Conventions
could rush in and save the frag-
mcnts But there is no saving for
