Washington, Nov. 8.- Reports indicate that the next senate will have 40 Democrats, 41 Republica 4 and 6 Populists, while the attitude if the successor of Senator Harris of Tennessee is still in doubt. In this classification Senators Stewart and Joi s of Nevada, who were elected by tht Republicans, but have announced th<r separation from-that party, and GoVeinor Tillman, who will doubtless be electid by the socalled Independent Demo Ants of the South Carolina legislature! are placed in the Populist column. Tillman will probably vote with the D|mocrats on organization and Stewart and Jones of Nevada and Peffer with ti» Republicans. This would throjr the\alance of power into the handsetthe BopuliMS. Chairman of the Republican . coiup-essional 'committee say>"rqpu*iw ! ‘ give the Republicaais.23a-ettt of the 356 members 'of the house beyond peradventure, while there is a possibility of securing 27 additional members.

According to the claims of the Republicans, they Sfcill be able to secure the votes of at least W of the 44 stages in case the next presidential election is flffown into the house, \is they will have either the solid delegations or a majority in each of the delegations from that number of states. Chairman Babcock later claimed that returns indicate that Republicans have ‘ “secured control of the next senate by a majority of one to three without counting the vote of North Carolina, which has undoubtedly elected, a Republican legislatuie.” INDIANA LEGISLATURE.

B.—From the latest unofficial returns received from 35 counties in Missouri, Republican, gains of 10,000 are shown and the election of their entire state ticket by a plurality of at least 10,000 is assured. Jbo-swgcess-ful candidates are: Walter M. Robinson, for judge of the supreme tourt; John R. Kirk, state superintendent of public .schools, and Joseph Flory, railroad and warehouse commissioner. The lower house of the state legislature is Republican, but the Democrats, who have a majority in the senate will be able to carry things on joint ballot. Returns from some of the congressional districts -are rather conflicting, but on the whole show a decided Republican gain. At least six-®emocratic candidates for congress were defeated and possibly several more will be counted in the Republican column. A special from Jefferson City Governor Stone and the other state leaders gave up the last ray of hope they had entertained last night. Governor Stone refused to talk, simply remarking: “I don’t know why we have lost. I have no opinion to give.” WEST VIRGINIA. AU Democratic Candidates For Congress Defeated —Republican Legislature. Charleston, Nov. 8. —With the legislature having 15 Republican majority on joint ballot the election of Stephen B» Elkins to succeed J. N. Camden as United States.senator is generally conceded.

Dayton, 2,000; Third, Bates H. Huling, 3,000; Fourth, Warren Miller, 2,000. In the Second (Wilson’s) district there are eight counties yet to count officially, most of which will give Republican pluralities. The Republicans are claiming Dayton’s election by 2,000, but Senator Faulkner says he does not concede Wilson’s defeat and will not do so until the official returns are all in. Mr. Wilson is resting at his home in Charleston and is taking matters calmly. He has nothing to say.' x . TWENTY-ONE OF THEM. * tt Illinois Republicans Get. All the Congressmen but One. Chicago, Noy.

Topeka, Nov. 8. —The Republicans have carried Kansas by a plurality of possibly 30,000, and will have a slight majority over all. Republican Chairman Leland claims also the election of the congressmen in seven districts. His figures are, however, based on estimates and the official returns may possibly reverse some of them. Governor Lewelling says: “I do not concede the defeat of the Populist ticket. Only the cities and the town precincts have been heard from and the country can easily overturn the showing there. I do not, however, look for more than 3,000 plurality for either the Republicans or Populists, and only the official count can decide the result.” TENNESSEE DEMOCRATIC.

London Standard: Violent oscillations of public opinion do not point to a healthy political atmosphere. We may be sure, however, that there will bo no revival of McKinleyism. The Renubucans nave learned their lesson and are likelier to move in the direction of a lower tariff if they move at all. We are sorry the Democrats were so soon sent back to the wilderness. On the whole, they deserved a better fate at the hands of the people. The Daily News: The Democrats came into power on the crest of a wave of popular dissatisfaction with the higher tariff. The Republicans come into poWer now on the strength of discontent because of the disuse of Democrats’ opportunities. The Democrats dallied with their chances. Public opinion turned in tumult against them' Many Republiaiflis in their hearts rejoice that it is no victory for high tariffs. There will be a respite fn the tariff struggles and the trade of the country will be allowed to recover from the effects of uncertainty and change. TERRIFIC STORM.
