During tlie coming yonr tlilrtj one states hold election nt which conpressmen we to be elected In twenty of those states the lecislatur must elect ft now wnii tor to take his Beat Mnrcli 4, 189.1. The senate of the Uuited States now coutaius forty-four democrats, thirty-eight republicans, three pop ulists and three seats vacant. These twenty states may through their legislatures greatly change the United Stat. senate. The House of Kepreeutatives has 219 democrats, 127 republicans aud 10 populists, a total of 356. It takes 179 votes to make a majority for any party. In order that our readers may do some figuring for themselves we herewith give the names of the thirty-one states bold . inir elections this year and the pol itics of their congressmen uow in Washington: STATS I'KM It HP POt Alabama Arkansas 6 California 4 8 Colorado 2 Connecticut 8 1 Georgia U Idaho... (vacant) 1 Illinois 10 11 Indiana 11! 2 Louisiana .. 6 Maiue 4 MamachUM'tU... 4 9 Michigan 6 7 Uluneoota 2 1 Missouri 13 , 2 Montana 1 1 Nevada.. 2 New Hampshire S New York 20 13 North Itakota... 1 Ohio 10 Oregon 2 Pennsylvania 10 0 lUiode Inland i Bouth Carolina 8 1 South Dakota 2 Teias ....13 Tenncsea' 8 2 Vermont 2 YV'UcouHin 8 - 4 Wyoming 1 Total.... lfl 105 4 In order that the house of repre sentatives may have a republican majority there must be elected out of the 200 congressmen 100 repub licans. Whether such sluill lie the case depends entiiely npon wheth er the people in these stales are satisfied with the present adminis tration. The West Side would like to have the views of its read ers on the'probable change of con gressmen, if any, in the states named above and the total accord ing to their estimate. Elections for a senator will also be held in the following stutes at the meeting of the states' legisla tures: Kansas, Kentucky, Aiifmis sippi, Nebraska, New Jersey, North Carolina and Virginia. Making a total of twenty-seven senators to take their seats in March 18!)5. Of the seven states last mentioned, Kansas is probably populist, Ken tucky dcra., Mississippi dem., Ne brawka rep., New Jcroey dem., North Caroliua dem. and Virginia democratic. An endless array of figures is presented by some of our contem poraries to show that the Wkst Bide is wrong in saying present ownership maps are wrong in prin ciple, and that they cost too much for their benefits. Maps for the use of assessors are one thing, and preaent ownership maps another. Do not condemn the West Side in . this matter tco hastily. , We shall have omeHiing to say later in de fense. Taxation is a very im portant question and it will not do to nider it too hastily. Congressman Linger Herman hns dome out squarely as a candidate for congress in the first congress ional district. Ho is no longer a candidate for governor of Oiegon. The Wkbt Side does not waut to bo understood rs opposing any necessary expenditure of our city, nor does it want to critlouo our city fathers tn the discharge of their duties. We iwogniite the fact that our stand ou Una matter of hooks, and other expenses, has brought upon us the euinity of sev eral officials of Independence, and goodness knows we seek no more enemies than we already have, but we cannot loci that iu calling atten tion to these facts wo have done more than our duty. We are in receipt of the Oregou EwitgiliM of Lafayette, a neat six-tccn-coluuin monthly, edited by ft ft ruling, a brother of D. V, Poliug of this city, aud Kov. Ilalluetyne. It no doubt fills a waut iu its chos. en field, and we wish It success. :. 11 . 1U.-U .1 ' " When the democratic party at Washington found fuuds scare it borrowed money to ran the nation.
