OF these the Loco.F Focos have already secured

while the Wings have secured one in Louisiana
We shall lose Preston OF South Carolina. and hope
to gain one in this State and one in Ohio. We
may Jose Graham OF y. c. Smith Of Ind and Kerr
Of Nd. but the chances are in our favor We NAV
gam one IN Georgia, but probably will not.


There is one to be chosen from Ncw.Iersey in
place of Southland. deceased; and there should r.,
two chosen from Tennessee, to fll existing yacan-
cies; but while the Wings have majority of the
Legislature and the Popular Vote, the Loco oco
minority have power to prevent an election and
persist in doing so, leaving the State unrepre-
sented, and may do till August 1913 when a
new Legislature will be chosen.


The Senate now consists of 90 Wings, 30 Leo
I Ocos, and Mr. Rives but several of the Wings
are perverse on the Tariff and Land Distribution.
We do not see how the next Senate can be turned
against us.
