HOW TIE SENATE STANDS. ..f
CHICAsO, Nov. 8.-The Tribune's
Washington special says The path of
the election cyclone through the State
Legislatures makes the United States
Senate almost as interesting ground for
speculation as the House Of Represent.
atives. A week ago no one dreamed
that the Democrats could see ma ority
of that body in sight for eight or ten
years to come. A Democratic majority
isn't yet in sight, but the political
horizon stretches that way. The pres
emit membership of the Senate is 81,
that body having AZ Republicans, as
against 81 Democrats The member
ship will lie increased to SO BY
the addition of Senators from the
new States of Idaho and Wyoming.
and As will therefore be a majority.
Twenty-six Senators 60 out March 4,
1891. OF these IL are Republicans and
10 Democrats, as follows: -,

Colorado Teller; Connecticut Plat; Him is,

OF the r .pu blicans Allison, of Iowa.,
and Morrill,, of Vermont, have been re-
slcctcd. OF the Democrats Blackburn,
of kentucky, and Wilson, Of Maryland,
have been reelected, while Demo
cratic successor Judge White) has been
chosen to Eustis in Louisiana. and Brice
has been chosen to succeed Payne In
Ohio. Of the remaining 6 there
are no signs of a Republican Legisla-
ture in any of the States. On the other
hand; the election of Democratic Sena-
tors to succeed Blair in New Hamp:
shire and Spooner in Wisconsin is said
to be assured. The Democrats also
claim Senator from New York, with
possibilities in Hin and Colorado.
II all these claims hold good the Dem.
ocrats would gain Senators and the
Senate would stand: Republicans. AZ:
Democrats, AZ. But the Legislatures OF
Idaho and Wyoming will choose Sena-
tors before March =, 1891, and as Repub-
lican Legislatures have already been
elected the next Senate will be: Repub-
Leans, 4G: Democrats. ~. Under such
balance the elections Of Senators after
1891 would be fraught with great inn or.
lance, for change of 2 would make
O tie, and the Vicc-President chosen in
1892 might hold the casting vote of the
Senate.

inquiry by n represe NATIVE of the
Associated press said that there was no
probability of an extra session of Con-
gress. While, he said, only the Presi-

subject. he (Mr. Wanamaker| did not be-
thought of calling Congre IS together be-
fore the regular session. Two other

CLAIMS OF THE FARMERS.
WAsHINGTON, Nov. 6.-The Farmers
Alliance people at the National head
quarters of the organization in this city
are figuring ont great victory for the
farmers in the result of the elections.
Mr.. L. L. Polk, the president, is absent
from the city, but Mr.. D. II. Ritten-
house, the secretary Of the organization,
talked freely with reporter on the
ubject- HIS remarks in substance were
as follows:
He said that as the smoke clears away II
becomes more and more apparent that the
farmers organizations have asserted them.
selves It was the first opportunity given or
ganized effort to sh wv tat boss rule fas come
to an end The farmers organizations desired
to rebuke the party that defeated free coinage
OF silver and framed a tariff law that
imposed greater burdens on the poor man than
on tn. rich. In the Eastern States, where the
Farmers League is strcns they and the
Knights of Labor have aided in showing this
Congress that their demand for free coinage was
no idle one. This was most notable in Massa
chusetts and New Hampshire, where the two
organizations are strongest. The Farm
ers' League and Alliance had just secured {
good foothold in New York and New jersey
| and the changes are not so startling. The
| Changers, knights of Labor, the League
and Farmers Alliance were organized

there. is no State organization of the A
lance. Indiana ami Illinois have beer

Benefit Association did much good work there.
West Virginia has just been organized. There
the Alliance was net so powerful: as in Virginia

The reporter asked Mr.. Rittenhouse
If he meant to say that the Farmers
Alliance is an auxiliary to the Demo
cratic purity. He replied not by any
means. Tho Democratic party fought

at ether points; but the farmers

Of the peoples demand. This Congress
! was petitioaed for free coinage from IA
most every Alliance in the United
States. The petitions were referred.
This ground swell does not prove thai
the Alliance and kindred organizations
will support the Democrats in 1892. I:
the Democrats fail to give create,
volume of currency they will receive
the same kind of punishment in 1922.
