The 1894 election winners were seated as the 54th Congress. The 54th Congress had a composition in the Senate of 44R/40D, while the 53rd Congress had a composition of 44D/40R.
1894 Senators would have been class 2. 1894 sent 10 Dems, and 16 Republicans to the Senate. I do not know the party composition of the seats that were open under class 2.
Also, I apologize for heading down such a long rabbit trail on your thread, but this subject just seemed to really grab hold of me tonight. 
Don't worry about it; it's important for people to know, so as to make comparisons.
All the below are from wikipedia; these are not from
all mid-term elections, only the mid-term elections taking place during a president's first term in office. (Although generally the mid-term elections taking place during a president's second term in office, the president's party loses seats too, not just as often or as much.)
In 1920, (R) Warren Harding won the presidency in a landslide, but in 1922, the (D)s picked up 76 seats in the House, although the (R)s managed to keep a reasonable majority.
In 1924, (R) Calvin Coolidge won the presidency by a wide margin, but in the mid-term elections of 1926, the (D)s picked up 11 seats in the House, although the (R)s managed to keep a comfortable majority.
In 1928, (R) Herbert Hoover won the presidency in a landslide, but in 1930, the (D)s picked up 52 seats in the House, although the (R)s managed to maintain a thin majority.
In 1932, (D) Franklin Roosevelt won the presidency in a landslide, and in the first mid-term elections of his presidency, 1934, the (D)s picked up 9 seats in the House, padding their majority there. (See George Bush, as follows, though.)
In 1944, (D) Harry Truman had won the vice-presidency by a good but not landslide margin, replacing Franklin Roosevelt the six months later. In the first mid-term elections of his presidency, 1946, the (R)s picked up 55 seats in the House, taking over as the majority.
In 1952, (R) Dwight Eisenhower had won the presidency in a landslide, but in 1954, the (D)s picked up 19 seats in the House, winning the majority by a razor-thin margin.
In 1960, (D) John Kennedy had won--dubiously--the presidency by a hair. In the mid-term elections of 1962, the (R)s picked up 2 seats in the House, which remained majority (D).
In 1964, (D) Lyndon Johnson had won the presidency in a landslide, but in 1966, the (R)s picked up 47 seats in the House, which remained majority (D).
In 1968, (R) Richard Nixon had won the presidency by a narrow margin, but in 1970, the (D)s picked up 12 seats in the House, retaining a comfortable majority.
In 1972, (R) Richard Nixon won the presidency in a landslide, but resigned in 1974. The mid-term elections of 1974 were the first for his (R) replacement, Gerald Ford; the (D)s picked up 49 seats in the House, and it is from this "class" that much of the current Democrat leaders come (meaning these people are, uh, no longer young).
In 1976, (D) the Incompetent One won the presidency by a narrow margin. In the mid-term elections of 1978, the (R)s gained 15 seats in the House, although the (D)s retained their comfortable majority.
In 1980, (R) Ronald Reagan won the presidency in a landslide, but in the first mid-term elections of that administration, 1982, the (D)s picked up 27 seats in the House.
In 1988, (R) George Bush won the presidency in a landslide, but in 1990, the (D)s picked up 7 seats in the House.
In 1992, (D) the Impeached One won the presidency in a three-way contest, well short of a majority; in the first mid-term elections of that administration, 1994, the (R)s picked up 54 seats in the House,
for the first time in 42 years gaining the majority.
In 2000, (R) George Bush won the presidency in a close race; in the first mid-term elections of that administration, 2002, the (R)s picked up 8 seats in the House, the first time a sitting party had gained seats during a president's first two years in office, since Franklin Roosevelt in 1934.
One thing's for sure;
il Duce Bo's no Franklin Roosevelt or George Bush.
