REVIEWING THE FIELD.
Closing Up the Gaps frem New YORK
to GalifOrRia-Ehe senatOriai
Contests.

New YoRK, Nov. BIT is now possible
to view the political situation with some
degree of satisfaction, if not OF certainty.
The satisfaction lies in the enthusiasm,
which is constantly growing as the cam
paign nears its end and in the cleanliness
which has thus far marked the work OF
all the parties. 1t is in fact more DIS
tinctly campaign of education than was
that of four years ago, into which 1t will
be remembered personal animosities en-
tered with some degree of lnexcusable
bitterness. To-day both parties are again
taking the city by storm. Tonight over
100 meetings will be held in New York by
each of tho older parties, while the Wea-
verites will have at least two gatherings,
both of which will be addressed by Dr.
McGlynn. The great Republican meeting
at Cooper Union will be addressed by
Dr. Depew and at the big Tammany
meeting Senator Hill is expected to
speak.
At headquarters the wires continue to
click out their incessant demands for
speakers and all the great men OF both
parties are closing up and getting as
near home as possible. Mckinley is this
week in the east again, while Fassett and
Frye continue to help out the Indiana
Republicans. But it is in New York
state where the battle royal on the hust-
ings is in progress. Not city OF any
size in the commonwealth will be without
its speaker of national note to-day and
during every day until Saturday night.
Here it is the legislative fight, which has
now assumed proportions of a nature to
frighten the national leaders on both
sides. The query is, are the party lead
ers in the state going to sanction trade
for the assembly at the imminent risk of
losing the national ticket? A margin of
two or more votes in the assembly on the
Democratic ticket is all that need be over
come by the Republicans. =, What will the
Democrats of the state not do to save il?
Looking at the situation from thorough
ly independent standpoint at this junct-
ure, it looks as though the fight for the
New York senatorship had exceeded in
interest that for the president of the
United States.
But New York is not the only state in
which the fight for the federal senator
ship has assumed proportions danger
Gus to the interests of both parties. In
California Senator Felton's friends are
taking desperate chances to insure his
return to the senate. In Connecticut it
is bitter struggle for Hawley's seat.
Delaware's legislative fight is not attract
ing much attention and Gray is certain
to succeed himself. Idaho has Shoup's
successor to elect and the Democracy is
sacrificing on all sides to win the legis
lature. Indiana, is of course, the scene
of the bitterest of legislative fights and
the Republicans are using every effort to
avoid slaughter of the national ticket in
the effort to recapture Turpie's seat.
Senator Turpie is himself on the stump,
speaking at two or three places daily and
his wires seem to be laid with ingenuity,
In MASSACHUSETTS the loyalty to the ma
tional candidates is most marked and the
Democrats are making no strong fight
for the seat which Senator Dawes will
give up. In Michigan the fight for the
legislature is the most desperate known.
1t is struggle on the part of the Repub-
licans to retain the seat held by Senator
Stockbridge and on the part of the Dem
Gratis to make place for Judge Morse
should he be defeated for governor. In
Minnesota even the national contest is
being subordinated to that for governor
and the legislature to choose Davis sue
cessor is already conceded to the Repub-
licans. Missouri will return Senator
Cockrell and the interest there centers in
the gubernatorial struggle between War
ner and Stone. Montana, Nebraska, New
Jersey, North Dakota, Pennsylvania,
: Tennessee, Vermont, Virginia, Wiscon-
sin and Wyoming all have Senators to
elect, but in Pennsylvania alone the fight
is of a rather bitter character as it is
Senator Quay's seat the Democrats are
after,
