will have finished their six years on thu
eth Of March, '9l. Il isal.ogether likely,
however, that a majority. II not all, would
like 10 return; but with several a re
election means q long and bitter csln'
paign. Two Of the ssoatos-willian b.
Allison, Of iowa, and Ephrisni K. VIII
henson, Of Maryland, have been relieved
Of all anxiety, rs they have have already
been rechosen. One Of the present sena-
tors has been defeated for reelection =
James B. Eustis, Of Louisiana,-who will
b succeeded by Judge White. also a
democrat. Thereare always several sena-
tors Who can count upon 4 reelection as
4 mere matter Of course, but this year
there are only three Of these-James
Donald Cameron, OF Pennsylvania, Justin
S. Morrill,, Of Vermont, and John p.
Jones, Of Nevada. Little or no opposition
to either Joseph @. s. Blackburn, Of Ken
lucky, or John y. SpooneF, Of Wisconsin,
ls expe>ted. BOth these gentlemen ar
completing their first term, and they are
well liked by their respective parties.
This Il more especially true in the case Of
Blackburn, than whom there Is scarcely
4 man 10 Kentucky more universally en-
teemed. spooner, however, is not 50 safe.
It l. expected by the democrats that they
will carry the Wisconsin legislature this
fall, and In that case ex-SeTetary Vilas
will 10 the man, as there will be no oppo-
sitiOn to him rs the democratic nominee.
Wilkinson Call, Of Florida, will have a
big fight for denomination, and tie strue-
gle has been inauyuTated. The chairman
Of the democratic state committee has al
ready begun his active preparations 10
have the legislature composed Of repre-
sentatives opposed to the present senator.
But this IL only one Of several SHARP
struggles within the democratic party.
james L. Pugh, Of Alabama, has = little
fight on his hands, though he will prOba-
bly, b successiul. George v. vest, OF
Missouri, has run aIoul Of JET Chandler,
who b making extraordinary efforts to
cain the much coveted honor, while ex-
Gov. Tom Jarvis and half dozen oihei
would-be Statesmen in North Caroline
are making things decidedly lively for
Zebulon b. Vance.
The contest In Illinois will he an unique
one. It 10 the first time in the history Of
the country that q candidate for the
Uniiei States senate has been nominated
at . state convention. General Palmer
was noDinated by the state democrati,
convention, il being understood that he
was h stump the sate for the democratic
legislative candidates. This will zee q
Stabb1rnly fought campaign, fOr Charlie
B. FarWell, the present senator, Is moi
going to Be beaten without . determined
struggle. As he, ton, is an able speaker,
the best exhibition Of political oratory
known In Illinois since the Lincoln Doug
las campaign In 1855, will 10 heard.
John James ingalls,, Of Kansas, has his
work cut out for him, and hard work il
will be, TOO. The Farmers Alliance is
particularly strong in KaIsas, and il Is
nominating Neutrality-suspicious. all over
the state, every one Of Nhom Is pledged
to oppose Ingalls,. One Of the biggest
republican DeWspapers In Kansas came
out aat'fOOted agHinst him last week, and
i begins to look decidedly rs il be would
