Officers to be Elected.
[From the Baltimore SUM-
In view of the Presidential election in
November the State elections which will
precede it will be looked to with inter-
est. The following is the order Of these
elections
/. Kentucky, on the first Monday in
August. This election will be for mem
beers of the Legislature and Circuit
Judges. The Democrats are making ac-
tive preparations for the election, but SO
far the Republicans indicate a purpose
to allow the canvass to go by default.
9. California, on the first Wednesday
in September. This election is for men,
bers of the General Assembly and men,
bers of Congress. The parties are pref
ty equally divided, each claiming the
victory, and an exciting contest is pre-
dicted.
3. 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
tached to the election will be III noting
the relative loss and gain of the two
parties.
4. Maine, on the second Monday in
September. 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.
5. Georgia, on the second Tuesday in
October. Gen. A. III. Colquitt is likely
to head the Democratic ticket for the
Govelnorship, whose election is predict
ed by $4,000 majority. As yet the Re
publicans have not Indicated a purpose
to contest the field.
6. West Virginia, on the second Tues
day in October. This election embraces
State ticket, members of the Legisla-
ture, and members of Congress. The
Democrats are already III the field with
a State ticket, headed by the Hon. A. II.
Matthews, present Attorney General, for
the Governorship. The Republicans
will nominate State ticket during the
latter part of the present month. The
Democrats claim thas all their dissen-
sions are healed, and that they will cary
the State by large majority.
7. Ohio, second Tuesday In October.
In this State full ticket, with the ex
ception of Governor AID Lieutenant
Governor, will be elected. The Repub-
hcans claim they will carry the State by
AN increased majority over Hayes vote
in 1875.
8. Indiana, on the second Tuesday in
October. Here a full State ticket will
be elected, the Democratic ticket being
headed by the Hon. j. ID. Williams,
present member of Congress, for the
Governorship, and the Republican ticket
by the Hon. Godlove S. Orth, late Min
lister to Austria. Indiana promises to be
the battle ground preparatory to the
Presidential onset in November, and
both parties will put forth their best eff
forts to secure the ascendency.
9. Iowa, on the second Tuesday in
October. This is a Republican State,
and may be expected to cast it's vote in
that direction both in October and No
vember.
10. Nebraska, second Tuesday in De-
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 affect it in any perceptible degree.
