SPRINGER IN DANGER ———_+-—— Correspondence of The Evening Star. CHICAGO, October 23, 1894. A few figures, based on the political com- plexion of the last Illinois legislature, show some rather curious facts and indicate that Possibly Senator Cullom is not so certain of re-election as republicans profess to believe. The last Illinois senate contained 51 members—29 democrats and 22 republi- cans. The last Illinois house contained 153 members—78 democrats and 7% republicans. On joint ballot the last legislature, if it had elected a Senator, would have voted democratic 107, republican 97. Total, 204. The legislature previous to the last, and the one which elected Senator John M. Palmer, stood, democratic 101, republican 100, populist 3. There were no populists in the legislature of 1893. It will be seen that, as compared with that of 1801, the legislature of 1803 showed a loss of three for the republicans, three for the popu- lists and a gain of six for the democrats. It is possible to tell just what each party will have to accomplish in the legislature of 1885 to elect its United States Senator. In the first place, of the 51 senators of 1893 25 hold over. These 25 are com of 14 democrats and 11 republicans, Of the 26 senators to be elected conservative esti- mates indicate that 13 will be democrats, 12 republicans and one a populist. So that the next. senate may stand—democrats 27, republicans 23 and one populist. The popu- list will be from the eleventh senatorial district. This estimate of 23 and 1 will be found to be not very far out of the way. If it errs it does se in giving the democrats a@ senator or two too many. With regard to the next house, the whole 133 members are elected anew. Taking first the demo- cratic strength of the last house, 78 votes, we must subtract from it the probable Populist strength in the next house, be- cause whatever populists are elected will be clected from democratic districts, in all Probability. The populists say they will elect 15 members of the next house. The democratic leaders say the populists will elect but 3 members, aud the republicans estimate about 8 populists, The writer's opinion is that there will be about six populists, and that five of these will be frcm democratic districts, so that the democratic strength of the next House, on the hypothesis that the populist vote is the only new element, will be 73, the repub- lican 74 and the populist 6. As 10% votes on joint ballot are necessary to a choice, this leaves the balance of power with the six populists, and the vote on joint ballot will be. Democrats, 100; republicans, populists, 7. This estimate is fallacious, however, because it promises that the only new element in the problem is the increased populist strength. There are two other new elements, One is the reapportionment act, and the other is the dissatisfaction which exists in Illinois, as in the whole country, with the democratic party. Elements to Be Considered. Apply, then, these two potent influences to the estimate above of 100 democrats, 97 republicans and 7 populists. The reappor- tionment act was based on the vote of 1488, when the republicans carried Illinois by 14,000 votes. Most people forget this. Based on the 1888 vote the framers of the reapportionment act considered it good for ten or twelve additional democratic Rep- resentatives. In view of the vote of 18v2 it is worth at least 15 democratic votes in the next legislature, and these must be taken from the republican strength, so thai, consideriag the populist strength’ and the reapportionment act merely, (he next Illinots legislature ought to stand, demo- crats, 115; republicans, Populists, 7—a total strength against the republicans of 122 votes, as compared with 82. To catry the legislature, then, the republicans, in view of the reapportionment act and the increased populist strength, must gain in some way 21 votes. So that the whole question of the re-election of Cullom, or the election of MacVeagh, or the choice of some compro- mise candidate, upon whom the democrats and populists can agree, comes right down to this: Is the democratic dissatisfaction in Illinois enough to give the republicans 21 votes, which they need in the next legis- lature? This dissatisfaction is undoubtedly good for a very sizable republican increase, but twenty-one votes are a good many to gain in a legislature that has only 204 all told, and ihe conclusion which the writer draws, after estimating all the factors, and tr: ying faithfully to give each its due weight from a non-partisan, conservative standpoint, is simply this: That the probability is that in the next Illinois legislature there will be Six or seven populists, who are very likely to hold the balance of power, with the re- publican and democratic strength nearly equally divided—say 99 each, or 100 demo- crats and 98 republicans, or possibly 101 democrats and 97 republicans. Republican leaders do not fancy these figures. Th-y deny their accuracy, and so Go democratic and populist chiefs. But the bald fact is that in’ order to obtain 103 votes in the next Illinois legislature the re- publicans will have to look to an old-fash- jJoned republican landslide for assistance. If Liinois does as Maine and Vermont did the republicans will control the next legis- lature by a few votes. But in order to do 80 they will have to carry the state by 45,000 or 50,000 clear majority, in view of the handicap of the reapportionment act. Whether they can do this seems more than doubtful. Populist gains are not going to help the republicans a bit, Positively. They will be of assistance only in decreasing democratic strength. In so far as the actu- al result is concerned, and results are usu- ally what politicians are after in an elec- tion, the republicans will not be a bit bet- ter off if the populists elect twenty-five members of the legislature. That fact can- not help the republican candidate much. It will only injure the democrats. ‘ In the Copgressional Districts. The congressional districts were never so hard to estimate. It looks now as if the republicans will gain four Congressmen from Illinois. The chairman of the populist state committee told the writer yesterday that his party would elect two members of Congress from Illinois. Nothing except this expression of opinion from him indicates it. There is only one district in which the populists appear to have a fighting chance. John Z, White, a sensible man for a popu- list, has a show to be elected from one of the Chicago districts; but that ts all. One of the pluckiest fights that is being made in the campaign is being made against big odds by a man well known in Washing- ton. He is Hugh Reid Belknap, son of Grant's old Secretary of War. Mr Belknap Congressman however, — of the well-known Langan gs the Ii- no! delegation undoubt- edly be back in Washington in the next ‘ongress, Ji Cannon will G. re-elected, and so will Mr. Hitt.

Special Correspondence of The Evening Star. SIOUX FALLS, 8S. D., October 18, 1894. A seat in the Senate and two in the House form the prizes for which the parties of South Dakota are row most carnestly contending. As election day approaches the struggle narrows down more and more to an effort to capture the legislature and thus make sure the succession to the seat now held by R. F: Pettigrew. So that while there may be a dearth of pumpkins and po- tatoes this year in South Dakota there is no lack for politics, a crop which is never short, though often of a poor variety. There are four full state tickets in the field—re- publican, democratic, populist and prohibi- tion. Each party has a specific object in view. The prohibitionists do not want re- submission of the prohibition amendment, so their object is a negative one. The democrats want and say they must have the senatorship. Kyle, the other Senator, is a populist, and in case the anti-republi- can forces win they mean to enforce their demand for possession of the other seat. The populists want everything from the senatorship down to township clerk, and the republicans want those two seats in the House and Pettigrew’s seat for himself. Still, as has been indicated, the senator- ship is the focus of the whole fight. And the result depends upon a good many con- tingencies, the principal one of which is the success of the fusion arrangement be- tween the democrats and populists. While no formal deal has been made between the central committees of the two parties, yet it is evident that they have arrived at a fairly amicable understanding, which will last until election day at least. In 1890, when the democrats and populists secured a majority of one in the legislature and elected J. H. Kyle to succeed Gideon C. Moody in the Senate, there was fusion in eighteen counties, and in one other the democrats put up no ticket. This year fusion on the legislative tickets has been accomplished in sixteen counties, while in eleven counties the democrats have put up no tickets. In other words, there is Practical fusion in twenty-seven counties of the state. It is certain that the repubii- cans will elect thirty-eight members, and it is equally certain that the fustonists will elect thirty-four. Of the other fifty-four members all are more or less in doubt. It is thus anybody's fight, with both sides claiming the advantage. Mr. Pettigrew's Chances. There is no doubt that if the republicans win, Mr. Pettigrew will be his own suc- cessor. Before the state convention there were many murmurs of opposition to the Sioux Falls statesman in his own -party, but Pettigrew is a shrewd manager, and he has succeeded in! pacifying his enemies and enthusing his friends within the party. But it is right here at home that Petti- grew has the hardest fight of all on his hands. He feels the vital importance of carrying Minnehaha county, with its seven members and its home indorsement, and he will compass that result if the thing is humanly possible. As far as the records of the past go, it is about even thing. Two years ago the populists and democrats combined cast 2,162 votes, while the re- publican vote was 2,065. Local patriotism, which might be expected to turn the scaies in Pettigrew’s favor, is somewhat offset by the candidacy for the Senate on the popu- list side of Robert Buchanan, who is leav- ing no stone unturned to defeat his fellow citizen. It is, of course, unlikely that on the fusion basis the two parties will be able to poll their full strength, as they would for separate tickets, and this fact com- bined with the widespread discontent with present conditions is confidently counted upon by the Pettigrew managers to turn the tide in their favor. Another very bitter fight is on in Yank- ton county, which also sends a large dele- gation to the legislature. In that county fusion has peen arranged, and it is a straight two-sided fight. Both Claim the Prize. If the independent combination happens to carry the legislature there will undoubt- edly be a prolonged struggle over the prize. Both democrats and populists are laying plans for capturing the senatorship, The democratic argument is that the populists have one Senator, and that a proper regard for the principles that should govern the division of the spoils of war dictates that they should have the other seat. They are not pushing any one forward actively as yet for the place, since the chances of vic- tory are not overbright; but once the legis- lature is won there will be no dearth of aspirants from every quarter of the state. ‘The populists, on the other hand, have two avowed candidates, and evince a strong determination to appropriate the seat willy- nilly.. Robert Buchanan of Sioux Falls and H. L. Loucks of Huron, who are running rival newspapers, are also conducting rival campaigns for the senatorship. They are almost as bitter against each other as against the common enemy. Loucks refers to Buchanan as a tenderfoot in the populist party, and asserts that he should not ask for honors until he has won his spurs. Buchanan retorts that Loucks is a “bloody Canadian,” and utterly unworthy of con- fidence, And so the fight goes merrily on. Senator Pettigrew has succeeded in call- ing to his aid a good deal of outside talent, including Tom Reed, Senators Gallinger, Allison and Davis and Congresman Dol- liver, The race for the two seats in Con- gress is pretty nearly a sure thing for the republican candidates, Congressman J. A. Pickler and Robert J. Gamble of Yankton. ‘The opposition is divided, and the republi- cans are making a strong campaign. Both are elected at large, the state not having been districted. There was some soreness at first over the turning down of Capt. Lueas, the Black Hills representative, for re-election, but that seems to have been successfully overcome, and the gallant cap- tain is now making speeches for the.ticket. Take it by and large, and the prospects for a merry time polit likely to end with Dakota. a SPREADING THE GOSPEL. Meeting of the American Missionary = Association.

The present outiook in idaho ts indeed very mixed, and the race may go either te the populists, democrats or republicana for the fight is wholly three-cornered, with the chances about even for any one of *he three. Each has a superb organisation, the best candidates have been placed in nomination for the principal offices, and all possible efforts are being made to convert the people to one side or the other in the controversy. The campaign managers ere shrewd, and are making the most of every issue, while the state is being stumpel from Canada on the north to Utah on the south in a very scientific manner, in spite of the difficulty of securing railway tran: portation, and the rough characier of so: of the mountain roads in the back counties. Perhaps the chief interest centers im the senatorial tight. In this it #s the talk that there is an intense though well hidden series of conflicting interests im the repub- ican ranks, and it ts felt that before the day of election some ing will be made on the surface.

The inside history of the present situation in the senaiorial ranks is not known, but it is hinted that Senator Shoup is not am- bitious to retire trom the dignities he enjoyed so far, and would like very well be elected his own successur. But it is further said that Shoup has been forced by one means and another into the idea of sacrificing himseit, and that it was on ac- count of this forcing process that the Sen- ator surprised his triends by announcing that he would withtraw from the race and throw his support io Sweet. Governor Me- Connell, tho’ he is suspected of having designs on the seat bimsel{, also gure bis influence to Sweet. isut to have Sweet in the Senate would nardly suit Debois, though it would remove a danserous north- ern competitor for his own, seat.

The gubernatorial race is hardly less in- teresting. From present appearances this is likely to go to the democrats. Their nominee is @ chzracter, who, in his sim- plicity, reminds one of old “Blue Jeans” of indiana fame. He is standing as a protest agalast the re-election of Gov.

His rough simplicity seems to be immensely taking, and the chances are good for hin A Revulsion of Feelin) It was at first feared, even by his friends, that he would be defeated by the Mormon vote, which is an immense power in the lower part of the state. When the state de- cided to adopt a policy that was unprece- dented in the history of Amert and ut- terly disfranchised every person who pro- ‘essed a belief in the principles of Mormon- . Stevenson signed the bill; and it that the now enfranchised people would vent their revenge on him in such a way as to warn others against such actions in the future. This issue was made by the republicans all over the Mormon part of the state, and matters really looked gloomy for Stevenson; but at a proper time the record on this matter was brought out, and it w: found that he tad signed the disfranchise- ment bill because he had been asked to do so by the authorized attorney for the Mor mons, who felt absolutely assured that the Supreme Court of the United States would declare the act unconstitutional. Further than this the democrats have brought up the Mormon record of Stevenson, and shown that he is the friend of the people. Therefore reports indicate that there been a revulsion of sentiment among the true to their affiliations of years past, and vote with the democrats. all three parties, and republicans democrats have both procured the assist- ance of prominent Mormon leaders from Utah to help them make the fight; and the only reason the populists have not done the numbers any prominent Mormons. The events in Utah and the attitude of the church leaders in Utvh will havea great ins fluence in this section, and one of the things most favorable t> the Gemocraiw is the stand taken by Apostle Moses Thatcher of the church, who is the most prominent churchman in the northen country and sways opinion as well in Idabo as in Utah.
