n Democrat to the Senate in the winter or 49,
93. This folly. due to fractional strife. Is not
likely to be repeated now. Senator Gaillnger IS
a candidate for recollection in New Hampshire,
and feels confident Of easy victory IN the Ke-
publican caucus at Concord.
David Il. Hill Will make way for a RepuDlican
in NewYork and J. Donald Cameron for n
sounder exponent of party faith and poncy IN
the Keystone State. Senator John II. Mitchell
hopes to succeed himself in Oregon. but the
situation in that State is complicated by party
divisions the silver issue. and the outcome
OF the fight for the Senatorship is by no means
certain. FIX Senator John G. Spooner seems 10
have little opposition in the Wisconsin
Legislature. and will probably return to Wash
ington next spring after an absence from the
Senate of just six years.
FOUR SURELY SILVER STATES.
Four State Legislatures are equally certain to
choose Silver Democrats for the term beginning
March T. James X Jones. the chairman Of the
Democratic National Committee is sure OF re-
election at the hands Of the Arkansas Legisia-
turc The Florida Legislature does not meet
until next April and the Governor VIII nave 10
make an appointment if the state is to be tuiiy
represented at an early special session Dun
the Executive and the Legislature are Demo
cratic. and Mr.. Pasco. the retiring senator -
thought tn be pretty certain OF another term
Mr. Vest will try to hold his seat from Missouri
The State Legislature is strongly Democratic
and pro-silver. In South Carolina Judge Earle
will displace j. l.. NJ. Irby. having won the regu-
lar Democratic nomination last September over
Ex-Governor Evans the friend ana lieutenant oi
Senator Tillman.
or the remaining ten seats it seems hardly
probable that the Republican party Will be able
to capture more than two. In Colorado. Deia-
ware Idaho. Kansas. Nevada. South Dakota,
Utah and Washington anti-Republican IIeslsIa-
lures have been chosen. and only the inaplity
of the motley opposition elements TO combine
can prevent the choice of anti Repubican Sena-
to-s from these States. 1t is fair to presume
that Senator Teller will be reelected in Colo
RADIO all the silver factions having pledged
their support to him in advance John T. Jones
the Populist Sena tor from Nevada, is a candidate
for reelection. and is encountering some oppo-
sition the ground that he is not an actuai
resident OF the cx-Bonanza State. His defeat
however, seems highly improbable
Mr.. Kyle. the South Dakota "Indocrat and
Populist, thinks that he deserves a second term
Mr. Pettgrew. his colleague. now Popullst
also Is fighting Kyle. The State Legislature IS
controlled by the joint silver Democratic and
Populist forces, but it Is Impossible to foresee
what the outcome Of the present bitter contest
between the Kyle and Pettigrew factions Will
be Mr.. PETER is making lively canvass for
reelection in Kansas, and has one or Two
active Democratic and Populist rivals. Either
a Democrat or a Populist will come to Wash
ington from the Sunlower State. In Utah Sena-
tor Brown. a Mckinley Republican, VIII be re-
placed by Populist a silverite or the cam
non stamp while in Washington Popuists.
Democrats and Republican boilers are all clam
oring for the toga which Mr.. Squire Is ABOUT 10
surrender
IDAHO, DELAWARE AND KENTUCKY.
Mr. Dubois Is struggling for reelection In
Idaho, where he and his ex-Republican FOL
lowers were frozen OUT last fall by COM
binaton Of the other two anti-Republican fac
tons Mr. Dubois has the support Of the Demo-
cratic National Committee. but the local Demo-
cratic machine is committed to Claggett. the
Democratic Populist Senatorial nominee. There
are twenty mine silver Republicans. eighteen
Democrats and twenty-three Populists in the
Idaho Legislature. A protracted struggle at
Boise City seems pretty certain.
The Delaware Legislature is Democratic TINS
year and will undoubtedly send Democrat
Of conservative financial views to Washington
with a certificate Of election as Senator to NIL
the vacant Delaware seat. Colonel Du foht
contends however. that he Is still the duly
elected Senator from Delaware. and he may
ask the Senate next spring TO pass once more
