\ Elections will be held in eleven states
bday. the more important being in New
fork. Massachusetts, Ohio and Iowa.
he campaign has been a notable n in
bese states, having been fought without
hat bitterness of feeling and personal
candal which sometimes enter into
keated political contests. The leading
Candidates are gentlemen of personal
berth and honorable records who have
1pnfned their discussions to questions of
S%rinciple rather than of men. The news
apers of the country have also dealt
18th issues and for once, at least, have
hown that a citizen a run for Office
bithout being assailed by frivolous and
Must accusations of moral t%urpitude.
the Mckinley tariff has been on trial
before the people of the four states
Aamed. 1t cannot be said that the jury
) an impartial one in either Of them.
Massachusetts,, Ohio and Iowa are con
keded to be republican states, while New
FORK may, as usual, be put down as a
Doubtful one. But the result today is
pot regarded so doubtful that the close
observer may not predict it with tolerable
accuracy.
New York will elect a governor, heu-
tenant governor, secretary of state, ON
f%roller, treasurer, encouragement, en-
gineer and surveyor, the legislature, ten
Justices of the supreme court and a rep
fesentative in congress from the tenth
district. The election as may be sur,
1mised from the list of offices to be filled
will call out a very large vote for a non.
presidential year. The indications point
TO the election of Roswell p. Flower, the
democratic candidate for governor and
majority, if not all, of the rest of the
state ticket. The fight being made 10y
Jones and a few other ~disgruntled demo
Gratis against Flower, may cut down hi
majority somewhat, but there is moi
much room to doubt his election. Mass
achusetts will elect state officers ant
the legislature. The personal popularit.
of Governor Russell may again land hin
in the executive chair of the state, bu'

an agreeable surprise to the party
Massachusetts elections are determined
by It's great manufacturing interests ant
they are partisans of Mckinley from ont
end Of the state to the other.
Ohio has been a great battle ground
The high priest of protection is a canul
date for governor. His defeat by Camp
bell would mean the defeat and destruc
ton of the republican party. Its YER,
life hangs upon the result of the electlol
in Ohio today. HUNDREDS of thousand
OF dollars have been fried from the bene
~ticiaries of his tariff which have bee
spent with a prodigal hand. The bes
stump speakers in the republican part
have been pressed into service. Nothin
has been left undone to elect McKinlc.
II Campbell defeat him it will be due t
the incorruptibility of the yeomanry
Ohio and the healing of democratic di'
affection in Hamilton county. He is
sanguine democrat who predicts a VII
tory for his party in Ohio today.
Iowa will elect state officers and les
islature. There are three or foul tickle,
in the field. If Wheeler has succeede
in harmonizing the d%iscordant element
in his party he will defeat Boies, f'
Iowa is a republican state. But tn
chances are today in Boies' favor. II
has made a better fight than his opp

tariff question. The TRIBUNE predic
the election of Boies by an increased mi
jority. Maryland will elect a full sta
ticket and a legislature. The Peep
will also vote upon constitutional amen'
