WASHINGTON, Nov. 14-Fifteen Of
the thirty new senators, who will take
their seats next March, will probably
be men who have never served in con,
gress. The Republicans will get fifteen
of the total, seven will be Democrats,
four will be Populists, three indepen-
dent silver men, or Republican boilers,
and one, to be selected in North Caro-
lima, to succeed Senator Peter c. Prit-
chard, may be either Republican,
Democrat or Populist, according to the
fusion which may be brought about in
the state legislature, where neither
party has majority but where either
two may combine and elect In tbs
event Of Pritchard being chosen his
own successor, 1t Is asserted he will
be pledged in advance to vote for free
silver, which would class him as an
Independent silver man.
While Republicans apparently have
gained but one senator, they have real
ly gained a senator in each of seven
states-Maryland New York, Ohio.
Wisconsin, Illinois, Kentucky and In
diana-whfch accounts for the Demo-
cratic loss. Owing to the new align
ment of the parties on the financial
question, the Republicans have lost
senators from Colorado, Idaho, Wash
ington, Utah and Nevada Senator
Jones, Of Nevada, who will be return
ed, will be classed as Populist; Wash
1ngton's legislature will elect an out
and-out Populist this winter to succeed
Squire, and whoever comes from Idaho
Colorado and Utah will be free sill
verites, without much regard for poll
teal aff1iation with any other party.
Delaware, which has had but half its
allotted representation in the senate
during the past two years, is not class
ed with the above thirty, as the seat
has been vacant since March 4, 1895
The legislature just elected in that
state is apparently Democratic and will
| probably elect a senator of that party
Kentuclxy's last legislature also failed
to elect, but Senator Blackburn's term
does not expire until March 3.
THOSE ALREADY ELECTED.
Senator Allison, of Iowa, has alrea DIV
been elected to succeed himself, as has
Senator Morrill,, Of Vermont. ]. B.
Foraker, of Ohio has already been
chosen as Senator Brice's successor,
Maryland has selected George L. Well
ington to succeed Senator Gibson and
Louisiana has chosen ex-GOv. McEnery
/ in place of Senator Blanchard. Sena-

Hansbrough, of North Dakota; Mitch

| Platt, Of Connections; Jones, of Ar
kansas, Jones, of Nevada, Vest of
Missouri, Pugh, of Alabama; Teller, of
! Colorado; PETER, of Kansas, and Kyle,
Of South Dakota, are almost certain
| to succeed themselves. Mitchell may
have to make his peace with about half
the Republicans in the Oregon legis-
lature, who are free silver men, be-
! cause of his advocacy of the gold
standard in the past campaign. PEI
