The senate consists of thirty-three members, who hold their office for four 
years, and receive a compensation of $500 for each regular session. Senators 
representing odd numbered districts were elected in 1894, and hold office until 
January 1, 1899. Those from even numbered districts were elected in 1896, and 
hold office until January 1, 1901. The population given is from the census of 
1895.  The lieutenant-governor is president of the senate, but can vote only in 
case of a tie, when he has the casting vote therein.  The senate contains 29 
republicans and 4 democrats.
