One of the most important results of
ability that the Republicans will lose
their preponderance in the United
States Senate. Enough Republican
States were carried to have given the
United States Senate to the Democrats
after the 4th of next March, if a United
States Senator were to be elected in
each. In the case of Michigan, howev-
er, where the Legislature elected is
Democratic, there is no Senator to elect.
AS the situation now stands, the proba-
bilities are that Vice President Morton
will have the deciding vote on political
questions in the Senate in the Fifty-sec-
ond Congress.
The political complexion of the Sen
ate is now forty-eight Republicans and
thirty-six Democrats-a majority of
twelve. The election fisk Democratic
United States Senators will wipe out
this majority and make the Senate tie.
New Hampshire will send Demo-
crat to succeed Senator Blair. The
Democtatic Legislature in New York
| will elect successor to Senator Evarts.
Senator Spooner will be succeeded by a
Democrat from Wisconsin. Senator
Farwell has given up the fight in Him
ois, and has telegraphed here this even
ing that Ex-Governor Palmer will be
his successor. The majority in the Ill
inois Legislature is five in favor Of the
the Democrats. In Colorado Demo
crat will probably succeed Senator Tell.
er, as now appears from the returns al
hand.
The most interesting feature is the
character of the Legislature elected in
Kansas. 1t is not controlled by ma
jority of either party, but there is ma.
ljority Of six, including Democrats and
Farmers Alliance candidates, who will
prevent the return of Senator ingalls,
the fight having been largely upon that
issue. All the indications point to q
successful combination between the
Democrats and the anti-Ingalls Farm
ers' Alliance men, which will result in
| the election of Democratic United
States Senator from that State. This
gives the Democrats the necessary siz
changes to the United States Senate
There is still possibility that the Dem
ocrats have carried the Legislature Of
South Dakota. If that should be the
case, Senator Moody will be retired anG
the Democrats will control the United
States Senate.

BY the latest returns, which it is be
lieved will not vary much from the of
fetal count, the next House of Repre-
sentatives will stand 231 Democrats, in
cluding the successful Alliance candi
dates, and 100 Republican members
This will be majority over the Repub
licans of131. One district in Rhode Is
land, having failed to give either can
didate majority, as is required by The
law of that State, is not included in The
above calculations. There are four va
cancies in the present House-two Re
publicans and two Democrats-whicf
leaves the Republicans IT'S member!
and the Democrats ISL. Thus it will
be seen that the Democrats have gained
seventy-five members in the late elect
ions.
The representation by States will be
