| In view of the Presidential election
in November, the State elections which
will precede it will be looked to with
interest. The following is the order O
these elections:
l. Kentucky, on the first Monday ir
August. This election will be for mem
bers of the Legislature and Circuit Judg'
es. The Democrats are making active
preparations for the election, but so fal
the Republicans indicate a purpose tc
allow the canvass to go by default.
2. North Carolina, on the first Thurs.
| day in August. In this State the Demo
Gratis have put a full ticket. in the field
headed by Ex-Governor q. B. Vance fol
the Governorship. The republicans will
nominate State ticket on the 18th lnsta
| and it is supposed Judge Settle, former
captain in the Confederate Army, will
head the ticket. In 1872 Caldwell, the
Republican candidate, was elected Gov
ernor by majority of 1899, while Grants
majority for President the following No
vember was 23,904. Now, the Demo
Gratis are making an active canvass, and
claim Vance's election by $4,000 or 90
600 majority. ass
8. California, on the first Wednesday
in September. This election is for men,
bers Of the General Assembly and MEM
bers of Congress. The parties are pretty
equally divided, each claiming the victo-
~, and an exciting contest is predicted.
4. Vermont, on the first Tuesday in
September. This election is for State
officers and members of the General AS
sembly, and as the State is overwhelm-
ingly Republican, the only interest at
taching to the election will be in noting
the relative loss and gain of the two par
ties.
5. Maine, on the second Monday in
November. Here State ticket will be
elected, and there seems to be no doubt
of the reelection of Gen. Selden Con-
ner, Republican, the present Governor.
6. Georgia, on the second Tuesday,in
October. Gen. A.. 81. Colquitt lis likely
to head the Democratic ticket for. the
Governorship, whose election is predicted
by 75, 900 majority. As yet. the RepubT
licans have not indicated a purpose ID
contest the field.
Z. West Virginia, on the second Tues
day in October. This election embraces
State ticket, members of. the sLegisla-
ture and members of Congress. Thc
Democrats are already in the field with a
State ticket, headed by Hon. A. M. Mat
thews, present Attorney General, for the
Governorship. The Republicans will
nominate State ticket during the latter
part of the present month. The Demo-
Gratis claim that all their dissensions are
healed, and that they will carry the State
by large majority.
s. Ohio, second Tuesday in October.
In this State State ticket, with the ex-
ception of Governor and Lieutenant
Governor, will be elected. The Repub

! 9. Indiana, on the second Tuesday in
October. Here a full State ticket will
be elected, the Democratic, ticket being
headed by Hon. ]. D. Williams, present
:member of Congress, for the Governor
ship, and the Republican ticket by Hon.
Godlove S. Orth, late Minister to Aus
tria. Indiana promises to be the battle
ground preparatory to the Presidential
onset in November, and both parties will
put forth their best efforts to secure the
ascendancy.
10. Iowa, on the second Tuesday in
October. This is Republican State,
and may be expected to cast its vote in
that direction both in October and No
vember.
II. Nebraska, second Tuesday in Oc-
tober. This is also Republican State.
IL. Texas, on the first Monday in No
vember. This State will probably go
Democratic by from $4,000 to 100000
majority, but the election is too near the
time of holding the Presidential election
to effect it in any perceptible degree"
