Several Reasons for the Ov@rwheImIns
Democratic Defeat.
BLOOMINGTON, Ills.. Nov. 7.-Hon. A,
E. Stevenson, vice-president. spent the
entire day in seclusion at the home OF
his brother, John Stevenson, In this
city. Mr.. Stevenson, when asked ia
stats his opinion ss to the causes leads
ing up to the Democratic defeat Of
yesterday, said:
my opinion can't be briefly stated.
The result is due in part to the 6nancia!
depressions which came on the country
soon after the Inauguration OF Mr..
Cleveland. While the Democrats were
in no way responsible for this. they
were made the scapegoate. IL was also
in part due to the delay of congress lin
passing the tariff bill. Had
the bill 5ecome law in 80 days
earlier than it did, it is possible that the
business conditions OF tho country would
have so adjusted Themselves that the po,
litical result would have been ditfsrs
ent."
Mr.. Stevenson will depart from
Bloomington this week for North Csrot
lima, where he viii, join his family, who
are sojourning there. He will remain
in the south three weeks, going thence
to Washington.

Reports received up to O'Clock to-
night indicate that the next senate will
have 40 Dam ocrsts, Al Repubicans and

successor OF Senator Harris of Tennessee

Senators Stewart and Jones OF Nevada,
who were elected as Republicans but
who have announced their separation

who will don ubtless be elected by the so
called Independent Democrats of the

will vote with the Democrats on organ.

This would throw the balance of power
