To-morrow's state Elections
The main elections Of the year occur to-
morrow in twelve States For the benefit Of
our readers. who will watch the returns to
see how the political current is running, we
furnish some particulars concerning the
contests about to be decided in these twelve
States.
We need give few particulars concerning
Ncw-lOrk. The names of the Democratic
and Republican candidates for State offices
are familiar TO everybody. There are several
minor factions, which have nominated State
tickets in whole or in part, namely, Prohibi-
ton, United Workingmcn, and Bread Win
ners. The Republicans and half "A dozen out
side factions are making joint attack ON
the local nominees Of Tammany in this city;
but this will not produce much effect upon
the State condidatcs. Last year Mr.. I'll
DLS received II majority In the state Of
%. 73S We shall not be surprised To see the
Democratic State ticket get majority
rather below these figures in this "ofI
year" The whole Legislature is to be
| chosen. and the Republicans stand the best
| chance with the Senate perhaps.
New Jersey elects u Governor, onc-third Of
| the Senate. and the entire lower House The
candidates for Governor are GEORGE II. Nc
GILLIAN Democrat; WILLIAM A. NEWELL,
Republican THOMAS II. HoxsEy, Greenback;
and RUDoLPHUs BINGHAM. Prohibition. The

NEWELL was elected Governor in 1856, and

HoxsRy j. an influential lawyer Of Paterson.
| Mr., TILDEN carried the State last year by
| nearly 1900. The election Of Gen. MCCLEL-
Ian is confidently expected.
| Massachusetts elects Governor and
! other State officers. aud both branches of the
Legislatures. ALEXANDER Ii. RICE, the
present incumbent. is the Republican can
ddatc for Governor. and WILLIAM GAsroS,
who was chosen Governor in November 1874,
is the Democratic nominee. WENDELL PHIL
LIPS is running for Governor on the Green
back ticket and the workingmcn's ticket, and
ROBERT plTMAN j. the Prohibition and an
ti-HAYEs Republican candidate. Last year
HAYES got majority in the state OF little
more than 10000. But RICE is unpopular and
| PIrMAN and PHILLIPS will receive IA pretty
large vote; and, moreover, the Republican
State Convention endorsed HAYES, and
therefore. II RICE escapes defeat Tomorrow
it will be by the skin Of his teeth. Those
who have closely scanned the field think he
will be- beaten.
Connecticut elects no State officers this
year. Half her State Senators are to be
chosen and the whole Of the other branch of
the Legislature. The only national import
ance which attaches to the contest springs
from the fact that the senators now To- be-
chosen will hold long enough to participate
in the election of IA Senator in Congress in
room OF WILLIAM II. BAENUM, whose term
expires IN March. 1879. Connecticut is n close
state II barely went for Mir TILDEN. II
the Democrats are alb" to elect the next
senator in Congress We fancy he will be-
somebody else than BARNUM.
The officers at large to be chosen In Penn
sylyania are General Auditor, Judge cf the
Supreme Court, and State Treasurer. -Four
full sets of candidates are in nomination
