tOfore opposed free coinage leglSla-
ton. The actual sound-money strength
in the Senate will not, therefore, differ
greatly from the Republican party
strengthen the Senate.
Of the 80 Senators who will be en-
titled to seats after March 3, 1897, IS
hold over from the present Congress.
They can be divided politically as fol-
lows: Republicans, %; Democrats, 20;
Sound Money Democrats, 4; Silver Men
8: Populists, 8. Thirty-two vacancies
are to be filled from the following
States: Alabama, Arkansas, Califor-
mia, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware,
Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Illinois, In
diana, Iowa, Kentucky, Louisiana,
Maryland, Mississippi, Missouri, Ne
vada. New Hampshire, New York,
North Carolina, North Dakota, South
Dakota, Utah, Vermont, Washington
and Wisconsin. Republican Senators
have succeeded themselves already in
Iowa and Vermont, and two additional
seats have been gained in Ohio and
Maryland by the choice of ]. B. For
aker and George L. Wellington to sue
coed Calvin S. Brice and c. H. Gibson.
Democratic Senators have also been
chosen in Mississippi and Louisiana to
succeed Democrats. In Kentucky the
present Legislature, which is to choose
a successor to ]. c. S. Blackburn, has
now Republican majority of 2, and
ought to be able to elect Republican
next winter at Frankfort. In these 6
States it is now apparent that the
present Republican representation
will be maintained = California, Con-
necticut, New Hampshire, North Da-
kota, Pennsylvania and Oregon. Dem
ocrats will succeed Democrats in these
States: Alabama, Arkansas, Florida,
Georgia, Missouri and South Carolina.
Populist Senators will probably be re-
turned from Nevada and Kansas.
In New York, Indiana, Illinois and
Wisconsin Republicans will replace
Messrs. Hill, Voorhees,, Palmer and
Villas. In Washington a silver Senator,
Squire, will be succeeded by Demo-
crat. Colorado will return Senator Tel
Ter, and another silver man will replace
Brown, straight Republican, in Utah.
Dubois, silver Senator, will probably
be dispossessed in Idaho in favor of a
Populist
The Democratic side will gain seat
in Delaware one from which Col.
Dupont was excluded last spring by a
close vote in the Senate. If South Da-
kota's Legislature is Republican the
Populists will lose the seat which Mr..
Kyle now holds North Carolina will
probably return a Republican in the
person of Pritchard, the sitting Senat-
or. AS a result of Tuesdays election.
therefore, the Republican side has
made net gain of 6 seats, which, con-
sidering the unusual conditions pre-
vailing in many Western States, is an
achievement of the most creditable and
substantial sort.

makeup of the Senate after March 4
