There Is nt toast ono man in Washington

has kept a tab of the published icsults of
iho recent flection and has boon in piivalo

Bcnale. To your coiiospondont Colonel
Valentino oiild today : "i hero is not the
least likelihood that tno alliance or populist
senators will contiol the nenixto nfler
the 4th of next Mirch. The d-MiiocraU
ttralKht-outdeniociHts. will huvo full con
trol and the popullU * will not bu consulted
in the formation of committees or election of
tbo senate's ofllccr * In the reoreanirallon of
Iho senate. Counting a , democratic senator ,
fiom each of the stall's of New York nnd
Wisconsin , which aio us sure us dualh and
taxes , ino deaioet.us have lha senalo on a
tie without coiislc'nlng eithei Sennton ICUo
or Porter , the tilllanco men. Now If the dem
ocrats gel n senator of their own slripo from
either of thobtalcs of \ \ > onliiir : , .Montana ,
Kansas , Callfotnla , iNobnislea or Nevada
tney will have n clear walking mujoiltj
of ono without a fublonlst or jopullst. It is
my informntiou and judgment that the dem
ocrats will gut at least two senators from
the states paired and probably tluoo. 1 urn
' glad the interests of Iho counliy will not
lion ? upon the qualms 01 whims of populists
