It is said that a large por ti->n of the democratic senators aiecon serwitive and that they will hold to tbeir policy as they did hy joinine lo republican conservatives in votes on the tariff and railroad bills. A strong influeaca in favor of advanced legifllation in the Senate of the new . BB, bowever, will be in the fact that the proglfl? JVfl republican sena tori will hold the balance "of power.

Th* matter was dropped with the undentanding tbat the law would be tiken up at an early date.

The democratic parly in the country at large has won its lirst vietory since the eleetion ofGrover Clcveland to the preaidency in 1898. It has elected governora in New Vork, New Jersey, Maeaachiiaatfa, Connectieut, and Ohio; bas iipset tbu republican majority in the House, and has instired a greatly radooad majority in the Senate. Cooper, republican, aud fuaion can? didate for governor, defeats R. L. Tay? lor, the democratic candidate iu Teti nrssee. Incomplete returns from Moutana indicate a close light in the legialature which will elect a successor to U. S. Senator Cartrr. Pray, republican, is re-elected to Congress. In New York tbe democratic candi? date for governor. John A. Dix, is elected by a plurality of approximately 05,000. Col. Roosevelt lost hia own eleetion district by 00, bis own county of Nassau by 300, and probably hia own congressional district. Senator Beveridge, according to re? turns now at band, was defeated iu Indiana by John W. Kern, attd 11 out of the 13 congressional districts in Indiana went democratic. Massacbusetts elected Foss, demo ciat, govornor by a plurality estimated in excess of i'0,000. Connectieut has elected Judge Bhneofl E. Baldwin, democrat, by a small plurality. In Ohio, Gov JudaboE. Harmon was easily ro-eleele.l Tho democrata also carried New Jer.sey, electing Woodrow Wilson, former president of Princeton Univer sity, by a bendaome plurality. Iq Ncbrr.ska, where, as iu Indiana, eleetion of senatora is praetically by popular vote, Hitcboock, anti-Uryan democrat, il elected over Senator Bur kett. republican, by 80,000. Mayor Dahlman, of Omaha, who Icnl tbe democratic revolt against Bryaa in Nebra-ka, carried tbe city of Omaha in bis campaign for governor by 0,000; bul Aldrieb, republican, is leadiug iu l be interior ofthe state. and tho indi cationa are that his iluraliti.w inthe other courrtiea will more tban offset tho plurality of Mayor Dabliuanio Douglas county, which includea tbe city of i Tbe democrata'will eontrol tho next House of Represeutativea by a niajority ol about 80.

'lb,.- lepubhcan nnjoiity in the Seti ate will be reduced from twenty-live to about 18. The losses are sustained in Maine, Indiana, New York, Ohio, New Jersey, Nebraska, and possibly in Moti tara. Th? aolid delegation from Connecti? eut Ia broken. one demOCrat comiu? from the Second district. Delaware remalna in the republican C liililll. Il'inois makaa a big cbange. Accord? ing to late reporta, ihe delegation will stand 16 to 9 ln favor of the democrats. c.; : i ov i are aomewhat chaotje. It is likely tbat another dem i .1 to the delegation. Tbe republicans losl oneln KVntucky. Tbe Maryland delegation vs(11 consist ol _V? demOiT-tS and ono republican. ihe democrata tfained tv\o congrestmen Konig and Lewia?in districts wbiefa were formerly represented by republi? cans. Dtaaocracy aUomay have gained two in Ifaaeacbueetts. Nebraska is so close that tho standing of the delegation is in doubt. New Jersey is likely to show a turn over with the democrata in coutrol of the delegation. The democrats mado decided gaina in New York. In Manhattan and the Bronx they elected all their congress men. In Ohio and Pennsylvania the partie* broke even. Virginia will likely have a solid dele gation. The late returns show Bascom Slemp to have gone down in defeat. Democracy iu West Virginia also turned a trick. Control of the delega? tion hangs in the balance, The G. O. P, claims three out of the five. North Carolina eleetion returns indi cate a democratic majority of about 50,000, with all ten oongre-smeo demo? cratic. In Pennsylvania the eleetion of John EL Tener, republican candidato for governor, is oneluded bya large plu? rality. In Rhode Island, Governor Pothier, republican candidate for governor, waa re-elected over Lewis A. Waterman, democratic candidato, with u plurality much reduced from that of 1909. In Wifconsin the eleetion of tbe re? publican candidate for governor, Fran? cis E. McGovern, is claimed by a re? duced majority. and tho return of Sen? ator La Follette to the United States Senate is aasured. The senators who loose their b.gaa ir..: Hale, Miine; Depew, New York; Ive.-.n, New Jersey; Dick, Ohio; Bever? idge, Indiani: Btirkett, Nebiaska; Nixon, Nevad i.
