The Democratic Losses in the
Senate.
Baltimore Sun.

The democratic loss on senator's
is simply terrific. In the next
congress there will not he a demo
cratic senator from Maine to
Maryland inclusive, except Mr..
kenney, of Delaware. In the
solid South below the Potomac
the republican senator's from
West Virginia and North Caro-
lima may be reinforced by another
one from the former State.
Indiana and Wisconsin will send
republicans in place of democrats,
and far-off California will follow
suit unless the republicans are
woefully mistaken. The demo
cratic representation in the senate
will he restricted to what is left
of the solid South, and the mlnin @
and rotten borough States of the
far West. So much for silver.
The republicans have made a gain
in the membership Of the senate
as it now stands. MIR. KYLE, of
South Dakota. has formally gone
over from the populists to the re-
p"hllc'ns. This was anticipated
when he was elected through the
aid Of republican voters.
The senate after March t, 1899
will probably stand: Republicans,
"a; democrats, 2S; popuIists, 4;
silver republicans, +. The senate
at present has 43 republicans, 34
democrats, 5 poputisls and Z
silver republicans, an opposition
majority of 3. The republicans
gain ii senator's.

best offer | could get on the lot, !"
he continued. 81 tell you," he
added, "oldLancaster is fine cot
ton market. l just got $29. 13
more for my cotton by hauling it
here, which is Z miles frrther from
my homo than Waxhaw. That
paid me handsomely, in fact, the
$29 13 paid every debt l owed in
Lancaster and still left me few
dollars. If others will bring their
cotton here they con do as | have

feel like the cotton buyer has paid

weighed IA, $50 pounds and
