ELECTIONS TOMORROW Elections will
be held in eleven States tomorrow, viz
New York, Pennsylvania, New Jsr'
sey, Virginia, Maryland, Massachu,
sets, Illinois, Kansas, Minnesota, Wis
Consin and Mississippi. These elections
derive their main interest from the fact
that next year Is the Presidential Year,
and to.morrow's vote will be accepted, to
a certain extent, "a an Indication Of how
they will be apt to vote in 1870.
There is but little room for expecting
the defeat Of the Democratic ticket in
New York, and, as will be seen by the
betting, the odds are decidedly in favor
Of that ticket, Governor Tilden, Demo.
craft went in with large majority last
year, and has made popular Governor,
In Pennsylvania there is, as in Ohio, a
contest on the currency question. The
Democrats have adopted substantially the
same platform as the Ohio Democrats,
and they are not unlikely TO share
the same fate, although Il is right
hard to tell just what the Repub.
liCan platform, on the same subject,
means. It calls for "free banking"
"a safe and uniform national currency,
adjusted to the growing wants Of the
Cuisines interests Of the country, and q
"Steady reduction Of the national debt"
OF this platform It has been said, that the
voter can pay his money and take his
choice, by constituting 1t in any way TO
suit his tastes. At the election last year
the Democratic candidate for Lieutenant
Governor had 5000 majority. Pennsyl.
vania is an uncertain State. We do not
advise anybody to bet on the result.
In Maryland, the most one can say Of
the election Is that descendant OF
Charles Carroll, Of CarrolltOn, is the
Democratic candidate for Governor, and
US the State Is Democratic II will not be
strange II Carroll Is elected, although
there Is split in the party this year.
There Is said to be a mysterious under.
current in the popular feeling that goes
by the singular name Of "potato bugs"
and that has allied itself with the Repub.
licans. At the State Convention the
Democrats Of Maryland protested
against any increase Of the currency,and
demanded that such measures be adopt
"edby Congress as willlead to the resump'
"tion OF specie payments at the earliest
"pOssible moment"
In regard to Massachusetts,, there are
four candidates Tor Governor In the field
Mr.. CASTOR, who has been nominated by
the Democrats, was chosen last year by
1000 majority over Mr.. Talbot, the Re.
publican nominee, who was a strict tenn
perance man. There has been consider.
able apathy on the part Of the Republic
cans during the campaign, and the Pro.
hibitionists, who have selected John j..
Baker as their candidate, appear to have
been bent on beating Rice.
John Quincy Adams name lends much
strength to the Democratic ticket. The
Republicans At their State Convention
expressed themselves In favor Of equal
rights OF all American citizens irreSpect.
i've Of sex, and consequently the woman's
suffrage party heartily indorse Mr.. Rice.
The candidates for the vacancy in the
First Congressional district, caused by the
death Of Mr.. Burlington, are Charles O..
Davis, Democratic and liberal Republi.
can, W. W. Crapo, Republican, and All
nah Eldrige, independent.
=; In regard to Wisconsin, 1t Is to be said
that at The last election (lS74) five Re.
publicans and three Democrats were
elected to Congress. In the Eighth Dis.

Of two. In 1873 the Democrats and Lib.
eral Republicans weres successful over the
regular Republicans and elected William
r. Taylor Governor by $4,000 majority.
The present Democratic incumbents have
all been renominated. The platform Of
the latter party declares for 'the preser.
vation Of the public credit, honest pay.
ment Of the national debt and sound cur.
renGy in coin or its equivalent" The
strength and influence Of tho Changers
has considerably declined.
In Minnesota parties are very evenly
divided. The Republicans had majority
Of one In the State Senate and two in the
House during the last session Of the LegiS.
lature. In 1874 Chief Justice Mcmillan
(Rcpublican) was elected by majority of
1856. The Changers, or Patrons OF llus.
bandry, have an active organization,
holding fully the balance Of power be-
tween the two great parties, but, as in Wis
consin, they have lost ground. The anti
monopolistS, who indorse the Democratic
candidate for Governor, adopted strong
resolutions in favor ofinhation, while the
latter declared in favor of "a return to
gold and silver as basis Of The currency
OF the country, with effective measures to
resume specie payments"
In Mississippi there was no election
last year. Six representatives. are to be
chosen to Congress and astate Treasurer.
The State is likely 10 go Republican.
In Virginia, members Of the House Of
Delegates and one.hali Of the members OF
the Senate will 10 elected. The present
