u MrDAsY, e the Ohio Statesman,
in publishing table showing the present
complexion Of the Senate, says:


But, there is Iowa-thc young, the gay
bride Of the west, who has Just adopted
her constitution, Iaidl wiz send two Sens-
tors tQ Washington, a. soon, a.. admitted,
which will Be before the meeting Of the
next Congress, IN Dec. 1916. This will
settle the question as to the political char
acter Of the Senate, without much doubt.


The Cincinnati Gazette, in '.,ll ,allussion to
the same subject, speaks most desponding-
ly Of the prospect Of the Senate being
made democratic in its character BY the
admission Of Iowa. It says:


sit iFa general impression that the
wings have secured a majority Of the Sen.
ate beyond dispute. Not so. Even that
is not certain. We have, now sepenteen
members Of the Senate. Ten more are
required to make majority. Where are
they to come from? Massachusetts, Rhode
Island, New Jersey, Delaware, Maryland,
Virginia, Tennessee, Ohio and Indiana.
Failure ip any one Of these States, would
leave the Senate equally balanced between
the two great parties--la tie. 1t will be
seen, therefore, that the whigs are not Ger
ta'" of a majority in the Senate, in the
present condition Of the Union. But if Eve
elect these Senators, there are the new
States Of florida and losca, with constitu-
tions ready formed, demanding Of Congress
admission into the Union, according to COM
pact. If admitted they win add four Loco
foco Senators to the number already in the
body, and leave the whigs III / minority.
Will these States be kept out? We have
little expectation ef.it. ps9a w


1t remains to be seen whether theinfiu,--
ence which the admission Of Iowa into the
Union is. thus likely to exert upon the
character Of the Senate is to be made a
pretext for opposing such admission. We
hope not; but short time will show.
