prospect that the new movement will cut
deeply into the Radical majority, which last
year, for President, was 77,069, The Re-
publicans have renominated William Clafin,
the present Governor. The Democratic
candidate is John Quincy Adams. The
Labor Reform candidate is Edwin NJ Cham
berlin, the son OF rich hotel-keeper in Bos-
ton. A special election will also be held IN
the Seventh Congressional District, to fill
the vacancy caused by the resignation OF
Secretary Boutwell,. The Republican candi-
date is GeorgeM. Brooks, abrother-in-law OF
Attorney General Hoar. The Democratic
candidate is Laurett Salstunstall, of Newton.
On Tuesday, also, Minnesota will elect
State officers and members Of the Legisla-
ture. There are three tickets in the field
the Republican, Horace Austin for Cover
nor; the Democratic, George L. Otis for Gov
ernor; and the Temperance, Rev. David
Cobb for Governor. The strong point OF the
canvass is opposition to the tariff, to which
the low price Of wheat is declared to be due.
In 1868 the Republican majority was 10, 47o.
On the same day Wisconsin elects full
State ticket and the members Of the Legisla-
ture. The Republican candidate for Governor
is Lucius Fairchild, and the Democratic
Charles D. Robinson. The Republicans had
last year, for President, majority of "a, l47,
and will undoubtedly be successful this year.

of the General Assembly, State Comp
troller and County Commissioners. The
present Legislature is composed entirely OF
Democrats, who are expected to have, as
usual, majority Of about 80, O,0O0.;
New Jersey elects on Tuesday a portion OF
the State Senate, and all the members OF the
House Of Representatives. This gallant
State may be counted on for a Democratic
majority. New Hampshire has q special
election on the same day upon the question
of Constabulary law. A change Of $500
votes would give the State to the Demo-
Gratis, and the Republicans feel that they
tread on delicate ground. The .Constabu-
larry law may cause their defeat.
On Tuesday, the 3Oth November, Missis-
sippi votes upon the Reconstruction consti-
tuition adopted in May, 1868. The disabili-
ties, test oath, and loaning the credit OF the
State clauses are submitted to separate
vote. This is the second Reconstruction
constitution submitted to the people, the
first having been rejected. At the same
time State officers, Congressman and mem
bers Of the Legislature will be elected.
There are two tickets in the field. One is
the out-and-out Radical ticket, and the
other the Conservative ticket. James L.
Alcorn is the Radical candidate and Judge
Dent the Conservative candidate for Cover
nor. The parents Of General Alcorn were
originally South Carolinians. General Acorn
is renegade Confederate, who, after the
close of the war, accepted the situation. 1"
Judge Dent is brother-in-law OF General
Grant, and an ante-bellum Democrat. He
resides and owns landed estate in Missis-
sippi.
The State Of Texas closes the elections OF
the year. The people will vote on the adop-
ton OF the Reconstruction constitution,
adopted in Austin in June last, and will
elect State officers and Congressman. In
The election takes place on November 80.
There are three tickets in the field-Radical,
Conservative and Democratic. General
Davis, the Radical candidate for Cover
nor, and General Hamilton, the Conserva-
tive candidate, Gre in favor OF adopting the
constitution. This is opposed by the straight
out Democrats. There is some doubt OF the
regularity Of the Democratic nominations,
and the chances favor the "fhird party, ="
against whom President Grant and his Cabi-
net are using all the terrors and influences
Of official decapitation and public plunder.
General Hamilton is an Alabamian, and On
original Union man.
