The doubtful will be the Senators to be
elected from Kansas, Minnesota. Nebraska,
Oregon, South Carolina, Washington, West
Virginia. and Wyoming.
The best that the Democrats can possibly
achieve will be 2s silver, II administration
and gold Democrats-42, which certainly
places them in a minority of 4.
The best the Republicans can do will % sill
yer. % gold Republicans, and bimetallists-
46. majority Of 2.
The Populists will have 6, includi ng Irby,
of South Carolina, and may elect others.
The contests in the doubtful states will be
heated and close, and it may be considered
almost assured that the Populists will hold
the balance of power. II they elect only in
the contested states. the Republicans cannot
carry measure by themselves. nor the Dem
ocrats.
On the silver question it can be assured now
that the vote will be:
81 silver
. bimetallists-53
a administration and gold Democrats
q gold Republicans-35.
The chances are very decided that the next
Senate will stand:
40 Republicans {good chance to lose q.
IA administration Republicans
q Democrats
7Populists with good chance for 9 and defeat
ing Republicans.
And neither party could carry a measure
through without the consent Of the Popu-
lists.
1t is certain that administration Senators
will be retired in 1S97-Brice, Gordon. Palmer,
Villas, and voorhees-four OF them by gold
Republicans, Hill, Of New York, by a gold
Republican. And there will be heated con-
tests in Kansas, Minnesota. Oregon, South
Dakota, and Washington for the seats of
PETER and Kyle, Populists, and Davis,
Mitchell. and Squire, Republicans. The Re
publieans without gain from tho Populists
would have the Senate:
45 Republicans
administration
q Democrats
7Populists.
The Vice President could carry a measure
If the Populists gained in '94 or go. The
Republicans would be in a minority il they
gained 2. Very truly,
