the Republicans in 1894 elected nineteen and
the Democrats only two members of con-

wave in favor OF the Republicans AT the

THE SENATE Is AFttIE0.
CONTROL OF 1T DEPENDS UPON
rHE RESULT OF THE ELECTION.
Al Present No Party Has = Majority
In That Redy, Dat Terms Of Thtr-
u senators Are AbOat to Expire.
and Thetr Successors ELECTED.

WASHINGTON, Nov. s.-Ths course or
the United States senate viii be delerunaea
very largely by the elections next Tuesday
when the twenty-three states elect legisla-
lures which VII in turn elect seHalors. The
present party strength in the senate Is as
follows: Republicans, IS: Democrats. Si:
Popuiis,s, 8; SILVER Republicans. 6. This
gives a majority to no one party. and it
has been proven fruitful source of doubt
In legislation influenced by party lines The
terms of thirty or ,pe present senator's are
about 20 expire. and in most OF these cases
the iegislators chosen Eext Tuesday will
eject SUCCESSORS. In seven cases, however.
legislatures have already been chosen and
senators elected, viz: Aldr.ch. Of Rhode
succeed German. in Maryland; Hanna. Of
Ohio; Money. OF Mississippi: Proctor. of
Vermont, and the legislature Of Maine,
chosen senator. In Oregon also. SIMON
has been elected to fill a vacancy. These
changes. already made. give a net gain OF
two n the RsPubllean vote; Mccomas, OF
MaTyand, and simon, OF Oregon
The remaining twenty-three senators are
yet to be chosen. Those WHO arc about TO
retire are: Allen. Popuiist. of Nebraska:
Repabliean q Miehigan aes Cannon n silver
Republican. Of Utah: Clark, Republican.
OF Wyoming: CockreIl. Democrat. OF Mis-
souri: Davis. Republican. OF Minnesota:
cray, Dsmocrss' Of De.awa as. Hawis WHEY
Republican. of Massachusetts,: Mantle. Sill
yer Republican. OF Montana; Mills. Demo
Graf, % Texas; Mitchell. Democrat, OF
wisconsin; Murphy. Democrat. of New
York PascO. Democrat OF Florida: Quay
Republicans. of Pennsylvania: Roach. DEM
ocrat. OF North Dakota; Smith. Democrat.
OF New Jersey: Stewart. Silver Republic
an, OF Nevada: Turpie. Democrat, of In
diana: White. Democrat, of California.
and Wilson. Republican. of Washington
In several Of these cases the re-a,ection of
the present incumbents is expected. but in
quite large number OF them doubt exists.
The Republican n managers are placing. re-
lance on the fact that they. need only a
few votes to secure them a clear majority.
while the Democrats. Populists. and Sill
yer Republicans. would have to carry most
all of the doubtful legislatures in order TO
prevent Republican majority. The states
considered mos. in doubt are West Vir-
ginia. New York Pennsylvania, North Da-
kota. New Jersey. Indiana, California
Washington and Nebraska, conflicting
claims being made in each state. Among
senate officials the opinion prevails that
the anomalous condition now prevailing Of
senate without a majority viii end with
the coming election and that the leGisla-
tors then chosen will give assurance of
majority rule In the upper branch OF con-
gress after March next.
