The Fall Elsct.ons.

The fall elections will soon take place.
The most war My contested f them SilI bC
in Virginia, Ohio, New Y rk, New Jer ey
AID the four new states, and interest il
these is by no means lnhned TO the states
named. So far as the southern people are
concerned, the most importa 1t election will
take place In Virginia, where Gen. Aahole
cked by the inf Ience Of the Harris n ad
ministraion, and assisted by Charm IN
QUAY. of the republican national com
mittee, is making desperate effort to bt
elected governor over Mr. Mckinney, q
democrat of ability and high charac err. II
i, thought that Gen. Mahone's ultimate OBJ
ject is to be returned to the Unitsi States
Senate in place of Mr.. Daniel, whose term
will expire in 1893 If he succeeds in hi:
race for governor he will be in a position
to bring to terms the anti Malone repub-
licans in Virginia, and will at once begin
to lay his pipes for the sena orih ip For
tunately for the people of Virginia. how
ever, the chances for Mr.. McKinny' IS
election are excellent. On the one hand the
dem lcrats are united almost to a man,
and they will cast a full vote for
Mr.. McKi iney. Ga the other hand, e
republicans are divided. Some of them
including a numbe of the strongest white
members of the party, will use their inf =
ence against Gen. Mahone even to the ex-
tent of voting the democ attic ticket, aud
others will remain away from the polls
unle an anti-Mahone republican candidate
is put forward Ii is not certain hat the
c)lored people will vote sol.dly for Maho e.
John NJ. Langston, the most prominen
colored man in the state, has been induced
to give half-hearted support to him, but
unless he Deco nes enthusi lstic in the cause
bis influence will not be as great as Maho g
could desire. Present indications point
the election of Mr.. McKi ney 10y consid-
cradle maj rity. This result would be
highly gra flying to the southern people, as
it would be reOule to the administration
for interfering in state elections, and at the
same time would lessen Maho1e's influence.
Gov Foraker and ex-Congressmai
Campbell are each making an active can
va for governor of Ohio. There are
several influences which may cause Go

the disability is that he will be elec.ed.
The democrats. howeve.', CO fiiently expect

Halstead is the recognized republi an can
didate for U iJed States Senator. in case
the republicans carry he lie gisllture. Per-
haps if he gets to the senate he wi settle
some old scores against republican members
of that bod.
The interest in the New York election
centers in the legislature to be elected, ant
while IL is difficult matter to elect demo-
cratic legislature il that state, the demo-
Gratis have rong hopes of succeeding this
time. If they succ cod it is underst cd tina,
Gov. Hill will be the leading democratic
candidate for United States Senator.
The reDublica are trying very hard to
snat,h New Jersey from the lumn of
dem cratic states, but with ex-Gov. Leon
Albeit as The democratic candi late for
governor it may be assumed that New Jer-
sey will remain true to the parry of the
people.
The cleo ions in the new states, North a I'd
South d ikota, Washington and Montana,
will be very important ne. When con-
ress voted to ad nit csc states into the
union, it was believed by the republicans
that they would 90 republican, but there is
very good reas IN for thinking that Wash
ton ID Montana will bs democratic states,
and that the republican majority in the
Sc ate and House Of the national con- yress
will not DO increased sufficiently to b the re-
publicanS much good. 1t Is understood
that President Harrison is particularly anx'
ious that Montana shall go republican, a,
q democratic victory there might be con
sidered rebuke to Ru sell Harrison for hi,
officiousness in government appointment,
for Montana, but the chances are that tn,
President will suffer Disappointment.
