 New York, Nov. 4.-The campaign of 1894 is at an end. It has been a stir ring one in many states. Issues of importance have been presented and the verdict of the people at the polls on Tuesday is expected to practically determine which will be the dominant party in 1ss6 Forty-one of the forty four states elect representatives to the Fifty-fourth congress and twenty-one states elect legislatures, which choose United States senators. The make up of both houses of congress Is, there fore. before the people. Besides this twenty states elect governors. nine elect minor officers and three states, New York, California and South Caro- lima, vote upon important constitu- tional amendments.
 In Maine. Vermont and Oregon elec- tions of congressman and state officers have been held. Each of these states has elected full republican delega- tions. Republicans predict reversal of the present status of the two par ties in the house.
 The present house has PA democrats, 126 republicans and 12 populists. There will be s56 members in the house and either of the leading parties must elect 179 men to obtain control. The republican managers express them selves as confident of electing at least 21O representatives. while the demo- erats say that though they may lose some of their present congressman they will gain enough others to make their representation 230 in the next house. Great popular interest centers in the fight for reelection of William L. Wilson chairman of the ways and means committeee, and author of the original features of the present tariff bill.
 In New York city four districts which are easily democratic in other years are in danger of being lost to that party by reason of two democrats be- ing in the field against one republican Z in each district. In Louisiana the stampede of the sugar planters to the republican party, some weeks ago { made a gain of three republican con- gressmeh possible. Recently the democrats have injected the race issue into the campaign and now claim they will hold the state delegation in tact. In Georgia thu populists carried several districts at the recent state election and claim that they will carry them again on Tuesday. They also expect to gain representatives in North Carolina. Texas and the silver states. S. S
 Legislatures have already been chosen in Alabama, Arkansas, Georgia, Maine and Oregon which will elect senators. These legislatures will choose men of the same political party as that of senators whose terms have expired. The states which will elect legislatures on Tuesday will have the naming of United States senators are California, Colorado, Delaware, Idaho, Illinois, Kansas, Massachusetts, Michi- gan, Minnesota, Montana, Nebraska, New Hampshire, New Jersey, North Carolina, South Carolina, South Da- kota, Tennessee, Texas, Washington, West Virginia and Wyoming. Each of these states elects one senator, except Michigan. Montana, North Carolina and Wyoming, where two senators are to be chosen, a
 In the upper house there are at pres ent forty-four democrats, thirty-six re- publicans, three populists and two sil- yer senator's, from Nevada. In addition to the twenty-one new legislatures which will elect senators there Is a pos sibility of New York's legislature hav- ing to name a successor to Senator Hill. The election of republican legislature at Albany would lose the democrats a vote in the United States senate.
 The states which elect governors on Tusday are California, Colorado, Con- necticut, Delaware, Idaho, Kansas, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Nebraska, Nevada, Iowa, New Hamp- shire. New York, North Dakota, Penn sylyania, South Carolina, South Dakota Tennessee. Texas. Wisconsin and Wy oming.
 with every condition favoring a sweeping republican victory in the state one month ago David B. Hill has thrown himself into the breach and at tempted to stop the tide. He has made a campaign which will be ynemorable foryears to come. He has undoubtedly greatly diminished the avalanche of votes which was going to Levi P. Nor ton. The shepardites and anti-Hill men have kept Everett P. Wheeler in the race, but he will draw only few thousand votes, and his candidacy Is \ not expected to affect the result.
 The republicans expect to carry the state for Morton by from 5000 to 75. .0oo.j Chairman Hackett Of the state com- mittee predicts Morton's election by 5000. Thomas c. Platt says:
 II am entirely confi dent Of the cleo a ton of MT. Morton. z IN.
