OF the Democratic senators going
out, Pdsco, German. George, Cockrell,
Blodgeit, Butler, Bate, Mills, Daniel
and Faulkner-Io-are reasonably GER
tain to be succeeded by Democrats II
they do not succeed themselves. The
Republicans OF whom the same may be
said aro-Hawley, Perkins, Hale, Dawes,
Davis, Paddock, Casey, Quay, Petit
grew and Allen--io. This leaves nine
members to be chosen and on their
choice will depend the political conf
pleNion Of the next Senate. Those
occupying the seats at present come
from states which may reasonably be
classed as doubtful, as follows: Caliior-
mia, Delaware, Michigan, Montana,
Nevada, Indiana, New York, Wisconsin
and Wyoming. OF these the Democrats
had maioritios In the last legislatures In
Indiana. Michigan, New York and Wis.
consin, the Republicans in the
remainder. Nevada Is tolerably
sure to elect Populst legislature and
consequently senator OF the same kind,
so that ii the Democrats hold the legis-
latures they had last, they would
gain senators in Michigan, New
York, and Wisconsin; they have a fair
chance in Montana, where the Republic
cans had only one majority, and fully
as good chance in Delaware, where
the Republicans controlled the last
legislature by eight majority, but this is
a southern state and as these are In the
habit OF going Democratic pell nell In
Presidential year, il is quite probable
the Democrats will get back the legisla-
ture this time. The Republicans now
have torty-seven members OF the Senate,
the Democrats forty Counting Kyle, S.
D., and the populsts one-Peifer, Kan
sas. The change from a Republican to
a Populist in Nevada will reduce the
Republican majority over all to five,
and II the Democrats gain as suggested
in the states named, the majority would
! disappear and the Democrats have a
majority OF one, which Montana and
| California would increase 10 five. On
the other hand the Republicans may
| retain Delaware, which would give
them a gain of one, but in no other
state set down as doubtful would they
| gain even II successful, as they already
have Senators from them.
The House OF Representatives Is at
present strongly Democratic 90 Demo
Gratis 40, Republicans IS, Farmers
Alliance Tor Peoples partly s. This
great preponderance viii doubtless be
considerably reduced, how much de-
ponds OF course upon how strongly the
reaction sets IN, but 1t would take
nothing less than a great popular avail
anche to wipe II out altogether
