Significance Of State Elections This Fall.

The Republicans want control or the
United States Senate. Aside from
partisan predjudices it must be clear to
all that the welfare of the country
will be best served by having that body
in the control of one of the great par
ties The Democrats cannot hone to
gain that ascendancy. Moreover, an
administration cannot be held respon-
sible to the extent it should be where it
is opposed on all political questions,
also on some that do not properly be-
long in that category, by one body of
tn legislative branch. In the present
Senate there are forty-four Republic
ulists leaving one vacancy untitled.
There is every prospect that Repub-
leans will hold their own and in six
states the Republicans have hope of re-
placing Democrats when the terms of
the latter shall have expired in 1899.
In Ohio Mr.. Hanna has good assur-
ances of being elected, an assurance
which is stronger by reason of the
Democratic quarrel between the Nc
Lean and anti Mclean factions. This
quarrel is yet on and is being conduct
ed with a good deal of bitterness.
managers are straining every nerve to
secure legislature that will choose a
Democrat instead of Mr.. Hanna.
Maryland. too, is coming in for
large share of their attention. Mr..
German whose term expires in 1899 is
trying to regain his control of the Dem
ocracy in that State and has made a
platform on which he hopes to unite
sound and unsound money Democrats,
though while the Bryanites applaud
the platform az endorsing their views.
few of the other faction have been so
foolish as to commend it.
It is hoped with good degree of conf
dence that the fall elections will practi
cally assure the replacing of Turpie of
Indiana, Faulkner of West Virginia.
Mitchell of Wisconsin, Smith of New
Jersey and Murphy of New York by
Republicans. a part of these at least
