On Tuesday. November sth. the
State OF New York will elsct a Secretary
OF State. Controller. Treasurer. Attorney
General. Engineer. seven Justices Of the
Supreme Court. and both branches OF
the State Legislature. On the same
day New Jersey will elect a Governor,
ous-third Of the State Senate, and a full
Assembly Massachusetts, elects a full
State ticket : Minnesota elects State
officers and . Legislature Psnnsy!-
vania a Supreme Judge. State Auditor
and Treasurer ; Maryland a Controller
and a Legislature Virginia elects
State officers and a Legislature ; wis-
cousin aud Mississippi the same. ILL.,
nois and Nebraska also hold elections
on the same day. but they are merely
for county officers. and will have no
poll teal significance whatever.
OF course the main interest In the
above centres around the States Of New
York. Pennsylvania. and New Jersey.

has not succeeded in completely dis.
rupting the Republican party. We may
fairly look for some great gains over tn,
vote OF last year. We are not 50 san
guins rs the New York TINES. which
sees Indications Of a Republican victory.
bot We think there are good grounds for
anticipating q great falling of In tho
Democratic majority. That majority
was largely due to the personal popu'
larity OF Mr. Tildsn. and many a man
voted for him from no higher motive
than q desire TO see q New Yorker In the
Prssid sntial chair. This motive Is now
withdrawn. and the candidates will
stand or fall upon their merits.

that Of the great State Of New York.
But since the opening Of the campaign
new issues have arisen. which have CON-

Democrats who o control the House
OF Representatives. and. indeed. finds
much favor with many who are. or

scheme have advanced the opinion that
a repeal Of this act would be repudia-
ton. aud Of course the loyal sentiment
OF the country views any population OF
our obligations with honest Indignation.
But a repeal Of the Resumption Act
would be nothing OF the kind /; IL would
simply be pos,poniug the day OF settle
ment. and the obligations Of the nation
would still b o. valid and binding q
over. SO that this argument against the
repeal must fall to the ground OF its
own weight. It Ia simply the weapon

A MODEL GOVERNMENT.

Tom Bowers is earnest in his advocacy
OF plan for electing the next Texas
Legislature entirely from among the
farmers. lie claims tina: they are the
dominant clement in society, and
should be permitted, for at least one
term, to run things in regular Rutaba.
ga style. There are many evils in gov
eminent which should be eradicated,
but the history of farming in Texas
does not prove that its farmers work
deep and close to the root OF anything
that grows in their fields, and absence
Of tho-ougbness there would be apt to
reflect itse'f, upon their convention into
laW-makc-. misni able HScratch- D"
around IT, cots Of our already badly
cultivated s,ydy polite. Bowers thinks
the exclusive making of laws by the
farmers would be attended with sue
C. FOR, az he correctly states it,
,... y them is to be found much
wiz, Jm IS well as thorough informa-
ton pen a variety of subjects. But
how is he going to have these
wise farmer, chosen! The people
will not selec. them in one
case out OF ten, against lncap ,city and
ignorance, and the most popular plan
for Bowers to adopt is 10 leave it for
every wise farmer, in his own judg
ment, to become a lawmaker. But
then Austin would be overrun in the
spring OF 1879, and not soul would
be left, excepting women and children,
in the fields. 1t is long time be
tween now and the meeting of the
next Legislature, and if from lawyers,
doctors, farmers, preachers and dead
beats it is impolitic for US to make up
q Legislature, then we can see but one
plan which can, in any probability,
work out the proposition Of Bowers
in favor of creating legislative body
out of wise farmers. The STATESMAN
makes the nomination, and 1t hopes the
press will second and approve 1t, that
Tom Bowers be appointed a committee
of one to visit every county il &c State,
and, after a thorough canvass, hat be
select the farmers suitable frr APP
pointment to the Legislature and leave
the people to carry out notifications OF
his selections at the polls. In this way
what an admirable body of lawgivers
would we have. How they would re-
fleet honor upon Texas, settle its debts,
stop taxation and government ex-
penses, restore peace and order to So
ciety, send Tom Bowers for life to
the Uniteu States Senate, and build
him a stat BON the dome of new
capitol, riyaiirg that of Liberty at
Washington. Everything would be so
wise and grand, that nations would

try, would be eclipsed by Tom Bowers

TOW SCOTT AND THE ADMINS.
TRATION.

The Chicago Times gives an interest
ing account from it's special corrres-
pondent at Washington as to demands
made by Tom Scott upon President
Hayes for volunteer army to protect
his railroads against strikers. The
matter was brought before a Cabinet
meeting on the twenty-thlrd, when it
was fully determined by an almost
unanimous vote that the adminlstra
ton would have to wholly repudiate
Col. SCOTS view of its functions iu
the pending emergency. The Times,
correspondent wrote: . a.
Scott not rnly telegraphed in the
most percm Try manner yesterday to
the membe" he Clbinet, whom be
essayed 20 roi, but he sent his pri-
vate secretary down here on a special
train last evening to urge the Federal
government to take the ground that its
conslit lonal power to regulate COM
mc itween States gave 1t the right
TO. n and take the railroads out OF
the lands # the strikers. 1t seems
sranG that this extraordinary demand
should have received a moments con-
sideration from tie President or any
members of his Cabinet, but it GER
tainly was considered, and Scott is
doubtless cursinS the admins ration
tonight because it has ideas abou,
Governing different from his own.
The decision of the Cabinet,
as expressed by the Secretary
OF State at the meeting to- day,
was that the government could no.
and would not go into the railroad
business. 1t would DO the only thing
it could legally do, which Is to aid the
State authorities wherever such aid
can properly he given. 1t was de
termlned that the Uaited States mill
tary officers must everywhere subordi
nate themselves to the State authori
ties and sct in cooperation with them.
The United States troops must not at
tempt to start train or run train,
but must repel and prevent violations
of the peace aud the law. 1t was
urged by the Scott crowd that the ad-.
ministration might declare the neigh
borhood Of Pittsburgh and other cities
in state of instruction. The answer
TO this was thai even If such ar extra
ordinary proclamation were = be
made, the Federal governmel Iopld
only do what the States III, msetves
had fun power n do, which We o
call the militia, since 1t had so few
troops Of itsown TO spare The Scott
crowd urged that the militia might be
ordered 60 the scene 81 the troubles
from New England and the South, bu,
To do this it was answered that such
an enormous risk Of stirring up sec
tional feeling was not to be thought
Of. Thus it WAS that the stereotyped
proclamation, fitted ont for the lsti-
tude Of Pennsylvania, was the only
comfort which scott obtained from
the adminisus ton at the Cabinet
