opinion ut the polls on the political
questions of tho day. On the 9th OF
August Alabama and Kentucky, both
Democratic States. choose Legislatures.
On the 5th Of September California and
Vermont, and on the 10th Maine, hold
their elections. These three States
have been Republican. The Demo
Gratis hope to carry California. All
three choose members of the Legisla-
ture, and Maine and Vermont a State
ticket also. On the I'd of October Ohio,
Iowa aud Colorado elect members OF
the Legislature, and the two first
named Governors also. Ohio is a
doubtful State; Iowa is Republican;
Colorado. probably o On the 9Th OF
November Massachusetts, New York,
New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Virginia,

Minnesota hold elections. Eight OF
these choose Governors, and all o,
them members of the Legislature. Oi
the twelve, Massachusetts, and Mime

are considered doubtful, and the re-
maindsr are mott likely to go Demo

Democrats nine, and the seven others
are doubtful. with the chances at this
time Of carrying them about equal be-

The telegraph brings intelligence OF
q fatal ease OF Asiatic cholera in New
York city yesterday. The bare an
nouncement OF the appearance of this
appalling p%estilence in any part of the
world always carries with it a certain
degree Of terror. This doubtless
comes of the fact that when the scourge
was first known In 1917 in the South
Of Bengal and in Asia, millions were
carried off by its ravages. Since then
its course has never been marked with
such fatal results. Asiatic cholera
first reached this side Of the Atlantic
In 1881, appearing at Quebec, June I'd,
and ut New York, June 2lst. In 1884,
lSl9, 1850, and 1854, it revisited this
country, since which time it can not
be said to have reigned epidemically
here, though it has reappeared fire..
quently In Europe. Whether due to
climatic influences or the ability
Of medical skill the better to
cope with and circumscribe it,
the history Of the terrible malady
demonstrates that each succeeding Wis.
itation has been of a milder form. The
pure air Of the mountains of Nevada
is not favorable to the spread of the
contagion, and We may therefore as.
