LESSON Of THE ELECTION
Continued From First Page.

In nc respect affect the reorganization OF
the Senate. as the terms of hessrs TO rhlan n
Brice and Hill do not expire until March 3,
1897.
The two Senators to be chosen from Utah.
whatever may ultimately be their complex
ion, politically, viii not take their seats
until late in the session or the beginning
of the short session, and hence cannet-tn
|. the near future give either party control
of the Senate.
In view OF the fact that the Republicans
have virtually determined not to invite
Senators Jones and Stewart OF Nevada
to affiliate with them i'll recognizing the
Senate. the impression prevails that No
changes will be made In Officers or COM
mittees until after March 4. 1887, when
q Republican majority will undoubtedly
exist.
A portion Of the New Jersey Legislature
elected yesterday viii hold over and pafu-
cipaie in the selection of Senator SMITHS
successor. giving the Republicans Better
opportunity OF securing another Senator
from that State.
A CRUSHING BLOW.
Chief among the partially anticipated
surprises is the transfereuce of Kentucky
TO Repu blican control, for the first time
IN thirty years.
The election of Col. Bradley as governor
is a crushing blow to- the growth and de-
yelopment of free silver sentiment. and
would have been a significant vindicatinn
of Secretary Carlisie's financial policy had
he Tefraincd from casting his ballot.
But having to a certain extent indnrsed
the widely divergent views expressed by
the platform and candidate, he must now
suffer the Consequences that always ful-
low being caught in bad company.
Colonel Bradley will from this time forth
take his place as the most conspicuous pos
sibility for the Republican Vice-Presi-
dental nomination. He is a man of ability,
time tried and fire tested and would have
the prestige of accomplishing all but the
unattainable.
Surprising above all else is the fact that
with but few remote counties TO hear
from indications point to the Kentucky
legislature being Republican on joint bal
lot. This. II later developments verify the
prediction, would be a great disaster to
the Democracy, as it would materially
aid in their debarment from control in the
Senate for at least eight years.
Late returns from Utah make IL almost
certain that the Republican ma jority of
last year has been reta ined. and the elec-
tion of two Senators belonging to that
party seems to be assured. This means
that while the Republicans will not he able
TO rcorgauize the Senate when Congress
asccndancy some time during the session
when the newly-chosen Senators SHAH have
been admitted.
DEVOID OF HOPE.
SO far as supremacy in the Senate is CON
cerncd, the Democrats appear to be
practically devoid OF hope for decade To
follow.
senat ore Gibson, BriCe ard Blackburn viii
be succeeded by Republicans: unless a
miracle is performed Senators Hill and
Smith will meet a similar fate.
In addition there is every reason TO
apprehend that Senators voorhees, of In
diana, Villas of Wisconsin, Palmer of
Illinois, Kyle of South Dakota. and Pef-
fer of Kansas, all of Whose terms expire
March 8, 1897, VIII be followed by Re-
pablicans.
In view of the present conditions pre-
vailing in Missouri it would not be re-
garded as remarkable if Republican was
chosen TO succeed Mr.. Vest.
But, leaving Vest out OF the calcula, ion
the retirement of Democrats and Popu-
lists at the closing of the Fifty-fourth Con-
gress. with the seating of Col. Dupont
from Delaware, and the election OF 2 Re-
publicans from Utah. would give the Re
pubiicans 90 Senators. q majority which
the Democrats could not overcome within
ten years.
The incoming of the Fifty-fifth Congress
would see the Senate divided as follows:
Republicans, 55: Democrats, al; Populists,
4. This does not. OF course. exclude Sena-
tors Stewart and Jones of Nevada, who. to
all intents and purposes, may be classified
as Republicans.
