The Judge of the Supreme Court is to be
elected to serve fifteen years. Mr.. Mackey is
the present incumbent of the Office of State
Treasurer The State Legislature is to be
chosen to serve one year. Last year the repub-
lican candidate for Supreme Judge received
majority Of 40, 443-Grant's majority for Presi-
dent was 137,548 The State was strongly
republican last year, aud there must have
been an extraordinary change in public senti-
ment wrought by the back pay, Credit Mobilier
and other questions hurtful to the republicans
to make it swing out Of it's usual republican
line.

last gear Grant carried the State by 81, ,531.
In 1871 Noyes (republican), for Governor,
received above 10000 plurality over McCook
(democrat) There is some curiosity to learn
what the ''new party my turn out to be,
composed as it is, of liberal republicans,
liberal democrats, patrons Of husbandry and

The election in Indiana tomorrow being
entirely for judges and prosecuting attorneys
it possesses but little political signifance.
Last year the State went for Grant by 22,515
majority, although Thomas A. Hendricks
(democrat) was elected Governor by /, LAS
majority. Most Of the judicial officers to be
elected tomorrow are appointments by
Governor Hendricks, and it is expected that
they will be generally chosen by the people
under the new law.
Republican,. Farmers, or Ant-Monopoly.

. JUDGE or SUPREME eogNT- COURT nan
There has been more interest attached to
the canvass in Iowa than in either Of the other
States, the anti-monopoly, or farmers move
ment, having been there largely introduced.
Grants majority last year was GO, $40, which
only exceeded the vote for Secretary Of State
by some $500. The State is, therefore, under
ordinary circumstances, thoroughly republi-
can. But the anti-monopolists, composed of
many republicans, have extensive expecta-
tons. 1t will soon be seen how far they are
to be realized.
CALIFORNIA (ELEcTIoN OCTOBER 15.)
sUrRExr JUDGE
sami H. Dwinelle. sami B. Mckee. E. W. McKinstry
All the above are democrats by their ante
cedents. The anti-monopolists who carried all
their local tickets on the Sd Of September are
now organized as independents, and dsclaim
fealty to any party. In 1871 Booth (republi-
can) carried the State for Governor by over
5000; in 1872 Grants majority was over
| 1890.
OREGON (ELEcTIoN OCTOBER 13),
MEMBER OF CONGRESS
Republican. Democratic.
! Hiram Smith. James w. NesmIth.
! In June, 1872, the republicans gave the late
Congressman Wilson $50 majority, and in No
vember Grants majority was over 1000.
This being what is called an "off-year' in
politics succeeding as it does heated Pres
idential campaign), it is not expected that the
vote polled tomorrow in either Of the above
States will be very large But whatever it is
it may afford some indication of the way the
wind OF public sentiment is blowing in view of
the peculiar complications of political matters
in the last Congress, and also foreshadow, in
some degree, the bent and force of the new So
called farmers or anti-monopoly movement

1t is probable that the civilization Of the
