state Journal.
There are to be several elections the
the present fall that are Of consider
able importance to the republican
party, and therefore Of great import
anee to the whole country. In New
York, the legislature is of chief con-
sequence. The entire senate is chosen
this year for the term of our years.
These senators will vote on the elect
ion Of United States senator to sue
coed Senator Evarts. a sharp contest
will no doubt be made, as the saving
of a senator in congress is of consider
able impor lance. There are also state
officers to be chosen, including secret
airy of state.
Next in importance, perhaps is the
election in Ohio Here a governor
and some other state officers, as well
as legisla. IRE are to be chosen. Coy.
Foraker is nominated for reelection,
and James f. Campbell is his dem
ocratic opponent. Foraker is well
known As an able, aggressive and hard
working man-true rs steel to the re
publican organization. He is very
strong with the working forces Of the
party and viii make lively compaign.
Mr., Campbell has the reputation Of
having belonged to both the Craat
political parties and of being reason
ably popular in the state. The legis-
lature to be chosen this year viii elect
a successor to II. b Payne, the stand
ard oil United States Senator from
Ohio. This renders the election III the
state one Of special Importance for an
off year Both sides seem determined
and confident. The campaign VIII be
spirited one, and the result is likely
to be republican triumph.
Ola Virginia has an election coming
on that viii attract much interest
among politicians throughout the
country. The various clements Of the
republican party seem to have become
reasonably well harmonized, and Gen
eral Malone heads the state ticket as
candidate for governor, lie is q
great power when aroused, and he is
no doubt fully aroused at the present
time. OF course it is hardly to be ex-
pected that Malone viii succeed, but
the chances seem strongly in his favor.
lie viii arouse his friends to 90 eX-
cellent work, and he viii also bring
out the fun opposition. Republicans
ism has been gaining in that state for
several years; and with q lively cam
paign, and the present one cannot fail
to be lively, there is reason to hope for
a republican triumph III old Virginia

four new states that are about to be
come members OF the mion-North

Montana. These elections involve not
only tickets for full set Of state eli
GERS III each, but five members Of the
house Of representatives, and eigh
United States senator's. These cleo
tions viii be watched with intense in
terest by politicians of all parties; and
no doubt active campaigns viii he
made i'll all the states, The re
pubhcans are quite sure OF carrying
both of the Dak0tas Washington,
thus securing for members Of the low
er house of congress and SIX United
States senators Montana may lie
doubtful, with the chances III favor
of the republicans. 1t went republ.-
can last fall, but gave small demo
ratio majority in the election Of de
legates TO the constitutional c0nyen-
ton. The contest in Montana viii be
regarded with unusual interest in all
of the states.
There are several other state elac-
tions, but none that are likely to create
much excitement, as they are i'll states
that are certain for one or the ether Of
