New YORK. Nov. 6.-The legislatures
of twenty-five states, whose members
will be chosen on Tuesday, will have
the selection of successors to fourteen
Republican and eight Democratic
United States senators whose terms eX-
pire March 8. 1893. The Republican
senators who 20 out are: FELTON,. Cali
fornia; Hawley, Connecticut; Dawes,
Massachusetts: Stockbridge, Michigan;
Davis, Minnesota; Sanders, Montana;
Paddock. Nebraska; Stewart. Nevada;
Hscock, New York; Casey, North
Dakota; Quay, Pennsylvania; AL
len, Washington; Sawyer, Wis
consin, and Warren, Wyoming.
The Democrats are Gray, Delaware;
Pasco, Florida; Turpie, Indiana; Cock
rell, Missouri; Blodgett, New Jersey;
Ball. Tennessee; Faulkner, West Vir-
ginia; and Mills, of Texas. Of the Re
publican senators whose terms expire,
Hawley. StockbIldge, Paddock, Stewart,
Hiscock, Allen and Sawyer represent
states which are claimed by both sides.
OF the Democrats, Gray, Turpie and
Faulkner are from states similarly Sit
uated. The expectations Of the Farm
ers' Alliance, if they are we'll founded.
place the seats of several other
Senator'S in Jeopardy.
and the complexion of the next senate
may undergo terrible change as re-
suit of Tuesdays election. The Re
publicans look to retaining the senate,
whatever the presidential result may be,
as bulWark against tariff legislation.
The Democrats are planning to increase
their representation in the upper house,
and the Farmers Alliance are Schemlng
to secure tho balance of power. The
Democrats claim that they will elect
legislatures which will return Demo-
Gratis in place of all Democratic Sena-
tors whose terms expire, and also III
place of the Republicans incumbent i'll
New York, Connecticut, Michigan and
Wisconsin, and the Farmers Alliance
expect to capture senatOrships in Ne
vsda, Nebraska and Washington.
This would mean loss to the Repub-
llcanS of seven United States senators,
and would make The upper house stand:
Democrats, 43; Republicans, 40; Farm
erS' Alliance, 5. This would practically
give the Farmers Alliance the balance
of power III the senate, as they could by
voting with the Democrats give them q
working majority of one. The Repub-
lican leaders, however,
Do Not Concede the Loss
of any of the senatorships. They ad-
nit that these states will be close, so
far as the legislative vote is concerned,
but claim their chance of winning in
these states is better than that of the
Democrats. They are particularly con.
tident OF the result in Connecticut, Ne
braska, Michigan and Wisconsin, and
they are reaching out in other
states datter Democratic senatorships.
This is particularly true of Delaware
and West Virginia. III the former state
Senator Higgins is confident of the cleo
ton of Republican colleague in place
of Senator Gray. In West Virginia
Stephen B. Elkins has made personal
canvass, upon which he predicts the
election OF a Republican legislature as
well as the Harrison electors. This
would result III a Republican stepping
into the shoes of Senator Faulkner. The
Republicans are also confident of gain
ing senatorship in Indiana. In New
York the redIstricting of the state by
the last legislature has resulted in an
advantage which may give them the
choice of Senator Hscock's successor,
even if the state is carried for Harrison.
The Republicans admit that the Farm
ers' Alliance will gain the Nevada SEN
atorship, but say they are chasing rain
bows when they claim Nebraska, Wash
ington, Wyoming and Montana. Taken
altogether, there will be some lively
figuring on the status OF the three
parties in the senate when the votes are
counted Tuesday
