The SeII Senate.

An eastern paper has been boxing
forward TO the senatorial election that
viii decide the complexion Of the
Senate OF the Fifiy-si1th Congress. and
has oome 10 this conclusion. The
Senate viii be close. The gold mrn
have thirty Follower senators, and
two already elected 10 the Fiftf-sixth
Congress. making thirty-two. Nine
states are regarded as certain to re.
tain gold senators, as follows: Con.
necticut, Maine, massachusetts,,
Michigan, Minnesota, Pennsylvania,
Rhode Island, Vermont and Wiscon-
Elm. This gives tie gold men IL votes.
The silver men have twenty-niue
hoidoyer senators which humber Will
probably be increased by election in
the following ten states: Florida.
Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, Ne
. hrssks, Nevada, Tennessee, Texas,
Utah and Virginia, making a total
silver vote OF tniTty.nine. The states
placed in the doubtful lis. are Cali
fornis, Delaware. Indiana, New Jer-
sey, New York. North Dakois, Wash.
ington, West Virginia. Wyoming aud
Oregon-a total OF ten.
Commenting on the forecast, the
Denver News says: AT least three
OF these states the News does not re.
gard as doubtful. Indiana. North
Dakota and Wyoming are practically
certain 10 elect silver senators. This
would make the totals stand-silver
ioriy.two, gold torty-one, doubtful
seven. Regarding these figures q;
substantially correct, it may as vel
be admitted that the next Senate
will be uncomtoTtably close on the
silver issue. Still, with the trend Of
popular sentiment in favor Of silver
and the effect which = complet,
change in the majority in the lowe
house will have on senators. and III,
choice which will be presented I,
Democrats to get out OF the party o.
rote for silver. il is possible to predic.
that the next Senate will be held b,
the silver men. Tho situation, how,
ever, is not one that a be regared
with indifference. The gold bugs are
already laying plane 10 capture a ma
iority Of the Senate, The silver mer
must beat them"
