two greerback democrats in the house of
delegates, and twenty-five republicans and
four democrats in the senate d plurality
fer the republicans on joint ballot of thir
ty-Cne.

two are hOld-overs, and of the twenty-five o
republicans ten are hold-overs. There are
fourteen senators to elect.

The legislature is to be elected and will
choose a successor to Senator Wilson, re-

lists are making strong fight for control

victory may operate in Washington.

Cessor TO Senator Mitchell, democrat
The republicans confidently claim that
the legislature will be safely republican,
and that a republican senator will succeed
John L. Mitchell.
There are 1873 members in the legislature
thirty-three in the senate and an even hun
dred in the assembly. The senate of 1897
was composed of twenty-nine republicans
and four democrats: the assembly was
composed of ninety-one republicans, eight
democrats and one fusonist. AS only half
of the senate is chosen every two years,
there will be sixteen republicans and one
democratic hold-over, leaving sixteen to
elect OF the members whose terms expired
with the last session, thirteen were repub-
licans and three democrats.
OF the senatorial districts which went re-
publican in 1894, and which are to elect
new senators this year, only two were car
ried by pluralities less than 900, and eight
were carried by pluralities of over 1000.
1t is estimated that the republicans are
sure to carry ten of these districts this
year. Basng calculations on this estimate
the republicans will have to elect forty-one
assemblymen out of 100 to have a majority
on joint ballot. OF the 100 assembly dis
tricts eighty-three went republican on gov
ernor in 1894. fiftyfour by pluralites great
er than 800.
