THE FALL ELECTIONS.
Upon Their Results Depends tho Political
Complexion 81 the senate.

~ ~ NHA
The infamous outrage perpetratcd on
the people OF Montana gave the Repnb-
licans ten majority in the United States
Senate. instead OF the six 10 which they
were entitled. On the 4th OF March
next t~wenty-eight Senators will have
completed their terms. and In the cleo
tion OF their successors some important
political changes may be- expected.
The condition OF affairs in Wisconsin is
not BY any means favorable TO the hopes
Of Senator Spooner for reelection. as
there are good grounds to look for a
Democratic Legislature. The contest
In Illinois will be a most stubborn one,
General Palmer, the Democratic candi-
date for United States senator. being
exceedingly popular, and being prepared
70 use all his influence as an effective
campaign speaker for the election Of a
Democratic Legislature. California
will likely send a Democrat TO tho Sen
ate in Leland Stanford's place, aud
Connecticut Democrats expect 10 re-
place Orvillc ii. Platt with a representa-
tive OF the popular party OF the State.
Difficult though the task may be. on
account 81 the inlquitous apportionment
that prevails here, the New York De-
mccracy are prepared TO entcr upon a
spirited contest in the fall to elect a
Democratic Assembly with q majority
large enough 10 overcome the Repub-
lican majority in the Senate on Joint
ballot, and thus insure a Democratic
successor 70 William NJ. Eyarts.
With an assured Democratic House
and a Senate that may be a tie, the
country might rest easy for the re-
maindcr Of the Harrison administration.
as an efectual check will be put To
and e~xtravagant appropria-
tions. A radical change in the Senate
would be OF incalculable benefit 10 the
country. for that body has hitherto cx-
the most profound Indifference
in regard to the welfare Of the people.
All the ~monopolics and pernicious ele.
which have so long controlled the
and action Of the Republican
party. hold the senate in their GRASP.
An infusion Of new blood OF different
nature from that OF Ingalls,. Stanford.
Plat. Farwcll and Spooner
would have a ~mosthealthful effect upon
he Senate. There will be moro gen.
'ral interest in the elections OF the
various State Legislatures this fall, on
which depends the political complexion
II the United States Senate after March
! thar has been felt for many years be-
ore. The Republicans are considera-
handicapped by the widespread pub
ic sentiment against the Harrison ad-
ninistration and this most outrageous
congress. They will not hesitate to re-
'ort to all kinds Of ~bulldozing tactics
Q retain power. But naught can avail
'gainst the voice Of the people. Albany

Early risers here who go down to the

sons atrolling along the beach at u very
early hour in the morning. This Is the
fad which Philadelphia has sent down for
the spring season. 1t Is very popular
with young couples. Before breakfast
some Of them wall; the whole length OF
the island, and return to tho hotels fresh
and hungry. a few drive along the
beach just after sunrise, but the young
people invariably walk. The crowds to
be seen taking these morning strolis are,
when in town, the hate slecpcrs. The
weather being unfuvorable to moonlight

carly in the morning and take consti-
