The democrats have a majority Of one in
the West Virginia legislature, but the re-
publicans are schening to capture the sea-
ator hip by making Senator Carr, labor
member elected by democratic votes presi-
dent of the Senate, in exchange for his vote
for Mr.. Nathan Golf II the event Of Gov
ernor-elect COTS election to the Senate Mr.
Carr then would b. governor. Mr.. Carr,
however, is said to have announced that he
would not under any circumstances vote for

to conduct his canvass, and he processes to
be confident of reelection.
TIE contest among the democrats of New
Jersey is between Senator Mcpherson and
ex-Gov. Albeit. The democratic majority
in the legislature is slim, and there is not
that degree of harmony among the demo-
Gratis that there should be. Congressman
William Walter Phelps hopes to profit by
tins condition of affairs to the extent of
| realizing his long cherished ambition to 60
TO the Senate. but the probability is that he
will be disappointed
A republican will be elected to succeed
Senator Salisbury of Delaware, and tho
republican candidates are Mesirs Higgins,
| Massey and Treat, the last named appar-
| entity having the best chance of election.
Senator Sabin has very strong opposition
in Minnesota and there is a probability
that deadlock will ensue, and that ex-
Commander o, the Grand Army Rea will
be elected as dark horse.
Tne fight is between Senator Chandler
and Representative Galhnger for the re-
publican caucus nomination in New Hamp-
shire Both candidates are expert politi-
clans, and each claims to have the advan-
tage in the race. The indications point TO
very animated contest The legislature
will not meet until next April, and sela-
tor will have to be appointed to serve until
one is elected.
