CHANGES IN THE SENATE.

The public mind has been turned
to the United States senate during the
past winter by reason OF the TACT that
many worthy senators with records for
long continued service, ability and con-
ScrvatSm, have been defeated by can
didatcS OF inferior intcllcctuality, with
little or no experience in national
StatccraIt, who arc political freaks
whose success has come from 4 play
upon the prejudice OF the rabblc.
Some OF the more conspicuous changes
are: Patterson, Democrat. OF Colora-
do. being succeeded By Guggcnhcim.
Republican,: Carmack. oi Tennessee,
succeeded by Taylor, Democrat; Berry.
Arkansas, succeeded by Davis, both .
Democrats; while the probabilities are
that Money, oi Mississippi. will be sue .
cccdcd by Nardaman. Senator Gug- |
