from the republican party into the sill
yer party. The democrats lose no seat
they now hold and gain five from the
republicans. one each in California.
Montana, Kew York. Wisconsin and
Wyoming. The populists gain Senators
from the republicans in Kansas and Ne
brLslia besides Senator Stewart in
Nevada, who will succeed himself
Ohio democrats at the Capitol re-
ceived dispatches from Columbus to-
day TO the effect that the republicans Of
th r State had made more mistakes in
