A statewide map of the 50 state Senate districts in the 1895 elections is provided by the Iowa General Assembly here.
The general election took place on November 5, 1895.[1]
Following the previous election, Republicans had control of the Iowa Senate with 34 seats to Democrats' 16 seats.
To claim control of the chamber from Republicans, the Democrats needed to net 10 Senate seats.
Republicans maintained control of the Iowa State Senate following the 1895 general election with the balance of power shifting to Republicans holding 43 seats and Democrats having 7 seats (a net gain of 9 seats for Republicans).
