IBostcu Herald

There will be at least four very inter-
esting contests for the choice OF United
States senator's, when the new year now
SO close at hand opens. They will be in
New Hampshire, New York, Illinois, and
Kansas. New Hampshire viii contend
first as to which party shall have the
Legislature, and, il the Republicans cap
ture il as TO whether Gallinger or Chan
der shall carry the day in that party.
In New York there is great doubt as to
what kind of Democrat is to be chosen.
In Illinois the contest comes as to
whether General Palmer shall be made
senator or a series OF ballotings shall re-
suit with an unknown quantity coming
ont of it in the end. In Kansas ingalls,
still hopes to carry the day. He is
probably beaten, but ii is by no means
so sure that the State will do as well as
is in her power in choosing his successor.
South Dakota Ia altogether likely to add
another TO these contests, but less Is
known about the politics OF that new
State.
