Speculations on Senate outcomes after 1879 election
A Washington correspondent projects Senate composition through 1881, predicting Democrats hold 42 seats to Republicans 34 in 1879, with major state-by-state flips in 1881. The piece notes eight of fourteen Democratic states and eight of ten Republican states likely to switch, and that a Republican sweep could produce a Senate tie. Also recounts a Tiffin Ohio incident where a tramp, ill and evasive about his past, is cared for by a Baltimore native.
