The Senate.

The Senate.
The next United States senate will
be republican by at least 10 majority,
against the present majority of 20.
The present senate contains 54 re-
publicans and "a democrats, in total
of 80 seats, there being two vacancies
from Delaware, where the republican
legislature failed to elect. The terms
of 80 senator's expire with the present
congress. There is also a vacancy
from Michigan, caused by the death
of Senator Mcmillan. Seven states
have already elected senator's to take
their seats March 4, 1903. These are
Maryland, Kentucky, Iowa, Ohio, Lou
isiana, Vermont and Georgia. Ore
gon has already elected republican
legislature which will choose a sue
cessor to Senator Simon. Twenty-tiv
senator's will beselected by legislatures
chosen at Tuesdays elections, as fol-
lows: Indiana, Delaware (two seats),
New Hampshire, N orth Dakota, Ne
vada, South Dakota, Illinois, Pennsyl-
vania, California, Connecticut, New
York, North Carolina. Wisconsin,
Kansas, Michigan, Idaho, Arkansas,
South Carolina, Florida, Alabama,
Utah, Colorado, Washington and Mis-
souri,. Of these the republicans have
surely carried 13. This >insures 50 re-
publicans and 81 democrats in the next
senate. The result of the contests,
owing to the meager returns received
at this hour, is still in doubt in Ne
vada, Idaho, Utah and Colorado, with
the chances favoring the election of
democratic legislatures in Colorado,
Idaho and Nevada, and republican
legislature in Utah.. If these probable
titles should be realized, the senate
will stand IS republicans and 81 dem
ocrats, with loss of four majority
to- the republicans, compared with the
present political division.
New York.
New York, Nov: 6.-Gov. B. B. OdelI's
majority over Bird S. Coler, the demo-
cratic nominee for governor, is 1857.

county clerks to Albany. The reports
to the Herald show plurality of H.
O60. Gov. Odell carried all the coun-
ties with the exception of Hamilton,
Kings, New York, Queens, Richmond,
Rockland and Schoharie. The New
York congressional delegation in the
next house will be composed of 20 re-
publicans and II democrats. There is
still possibility that Pugsley (dem.) }
may defeat Otis (rep.) in the West
chester district.
