WASHINGTON, Oct 12.-On the 4th of
March, 1898, twenty-five seats in the United
States Senate become vacant The con-
troll of these senatorial vacancies was at
stake In the recent presidential election.
and it is now thouRht that the Democratic
party has captured enough of the vacancies
to insure it's supremacy In the Senate. re-
Rardless of almost any possible combine
tions between the Republicans and Popu-
lists. Assuming that Montana. California
and Wyoming will send Democratic Sena-
tors here. the Democrats. at the beginning
of the Fifty-third Congress, would have as
many Senators as the Republicans and
Populists combined. and thus would be
able to organize the Senate by the casting

Democrats can rely on the support of some
of the Populist Senators In any of their
projects. whether for the removal of the
present force of Republican employees or

OF the twenty-five senatorial seats va
