The elections in North and South Dakota,
Montana and Washington will be held next
Tue-dsy. For the last four weeks the cam
paigns in these territories have been waged
with unusual activity, and yet very few
outside people, comparatively speaking,
knew that hotly contested p itical battle
was going on. The fact is that in Montana
and the two Dakota the interest has been
SO great that commercial travellers have
been unable to make sales there, and the
courts have had to be postponed because
the judges were canv ssing for one party
OF the other. TIE excitement in Washing
ton has not reached fever heat but it has
/ cen considerable.
1t is conceded that the constitutions
framed recently by each Of the territories,
preparatory to admission into the unto OF
states,w1l be adopted. They are quite
satisfactory to the people in the main, but
even. if they were not they would be
adopted, so anxious are the people to obtain
statehood rights.
State officers, legislators and congress
men are to be elected, and the legislators
to be chosen will elect United State, sena-
tors. be democrats and the republicans
well Hnde stood yhD will be elected to the
United Sta es Senate by the party which
secures control of g legislatures.
II may be conceded that the republicans
will carry the two Dakotis- As o 70 terri
tory, Dakota has always been strongly re-
publican, and while as two the republicans
may not have as large maj rity in North
Dakota a they might wish, still they will
have a majority. Republican estimates
place the majority in South d kota at
about Is. 900. and in North Dakota at about
5000. Thsse estimates may be too high,
but as republican majority may
be depended upon. it is useless to
speculate as to the figures. The republicans
assert that they will carry Washington oy
about 5000 majority, but there is some
reason to hope that tnis estimate is incor-
rect-in fact, that they will not carry it at
all. Washington has heretofore voted the
democratic ticket upon several occa ions,
and the recent constitutional convention
was de nocratic by a slight majority. The
t favor the republica s. but the de nocrats
are not without hope of being successful.
IL is probable that the vote will be close.
In ion ana tie chances are with the demo-
Gratis. Republican newspapers a 9 inclined
to aim that the democrats will be .ucc S.
full, d only tle oths day Senator IIgalls
said that he believed they would be.
A member of the democratic campaign
committee for North Dakota recently com
planned that the democratic national con-
mittee had not done mlc1 for the party in
t ese territories, but Chairman Brice said
that the ections were being 10 ked after
b. the democratic congressional committee,
under Senator German, and that every
thing possible for democratic success wa,
being DONE No doubt if the democrats are
defeated in Washi gtol and Montana, it
will be because such result could not be
prevented.

An Unexpected Termination.

A gentleman just back from Europe, who had
business at the custom house, sarte to tell an
offic al there yesterday, says tae New YORK Su Z,
of now he offered an inspector who examined
his baggage a handsome present for causing
him no trouble.
Il would rather you would not tell me any,
thing about it, J." said the official.
The gent man went on with his story how.
ever, saying that he ass cd the Inspector for his
address so that he could inclose bank note 10
him.
Il think the story is in poor taste" said the
Official land do not care to hear it. 1t will
only ne:es dtate an unpleasant course on nv
part unless you wish to max a charge against
the inspector, ia which case am not the one
to receive it,"
The gentleman continued calmly with his
story, and ended it by saying:
ITO make a long story short, l could not in
duce the man TO give me his name or address
or to accept a present of any sort"
GOOD heavens what fool I an.." said the
official, i thought you were going to say ne

Does Not state Facts.

Gov. Foraker does not always state facts
in political camraign. He said the other
day that il Obi colored children were not
prevented from attending white schools,
and thal there was no race prejud ce in
that state. The governor may have for
gotten that some months ago considerable
exc tement was created because one or two
lored children were place in a white
school at Felicity, Clermont county, Ohio,
but the chances are that he did
not. The trouble growing out of
the affair was autographed over the
country, and it would not speak well r
Gov. Forakel's memory to say that be had
forgotten it. The coiored children were
forcei to retire from clo)l, Id for awhile
serious trouble was Anticipated. The white
people OF the county were indg an at the
attempt at co-educ ltiol of the races, aud
colored people were boycot'e1 and their
property was damag ID. While all of this
was going on Gov. Foraker did not int =
fere. He knew very wei that to have done
so would have been t. weaken his political
influence with Ohio republi ans.
The Felicity affair furnishes conclusive
evidence that race prejudice exists in Ohio,
but such evidence was OF needed. Rspub-
lican speaker and newspapers assert boldly
during political campaigns that such
prejudice doe' not exist outside of the south,
but they know better Their statements on
this line are made for polite effect. In
the schools, the theaters and the hotels of
the no tn the color line is closely drawn. 1t
is closely drawn in Ohio, and Gov. Foraker
does not open his mouth about it except in
political campaigns, when he wants to get
the votes of colored people. The Rspub-
lican party has no genuine interest IN the
negro. 1t only wants his vote This has
been demonstrated time d time again,
and possibly after awhile the colored man
will realize that his best friends are t. be
found in the south. Co-education of the
races will not be brought about in any Sec
ton of the country, aud the colored people
do not desire it, but the white people of the
south are always more willing to promote
the well-being of t g colored race than are
the white republicans of Ohio or of the
north.

secured the republican nomination, but
although his district was strongly re2ub-
