In Ohio Gov Mckinley viii be reelected
BIZ at least bis plurality Of 1901. which was

iIeans predict . plurality OF from 5000 10
1000 Tor Mckinley. but "Aard times" in
s'oG years" produce general political
apathy, and We would not be surprised to
see . light yots cast in Ohio.
In Massachusetts, there has been
vigorous campaign and the Republican
candidate. Gresnhaige, will probably be
elected governor, although the Demo-
cratic registration in Boston Is very large
and John e. Russell, the Democratic can
dldate. Is the ablest and most popular
man In bis party.
In New York no interest is felt In cleo
ton. save IN the candidacy Of Maynard.
who has been nominated for justice Of the
court Of appeals by The Democrats. May
nara stole the corrected election returns of
Dutchess county from the Office Of the
state comptroller and thus prevented ii
from getting before the state board of
canvassers. Gov. Flower admits that
Maynard stols tho returns and thus stole
the senate from the Republicans. but in
Justification OF this crime says that the
Republicans had previously stolen the
whole legislature. Therefore. argues Gov.
Flower. Maynard did right aud ought TO
be rewarded with the highest judicial
Office Ia the state.
II the Republicans had done their duty
this year and registered Maynard would
b0 defeated, as thousands of honest Demo-
Gratis. voiced by the leading Democratic
papers, viii vote against Maynard. But
the Republicans have been false to their
fali political duty. have thrown away q
great opportunity. so that this thief May
nard will probably be elected.
In Iowa the Republican candidate for
governor Is charged with having been dis
barred from practice before the PEN
taking questionable course in con-
nsction with the procurement of a
pension. The charge Is not denied.
as IL Ia sustained by a letter written
by Gov. Knkweod. Of Iowa, when he was
secretary of the interior. Jackson, the
Republican candidate, admits the charge,
but pleads Ia his public addresses that he
was guilty Of IAN error of judgment Ia his
early business career" Jackson Is man
of conceded ability. but his early record
caanot but handicap his party; his NOM
nation ought mover 10 have been made
and his oder TO retire ought to have been
accepted. II IL not good politics 20 NOM
mate such men and il Is worse politics TO
elect them Jackson was disbarred for
trying 10 swiadle client by demanding q
large Zee for the alleged hFibing of officials.
In Virginia the populists will probably
poll a large vote. On the whole. il is safe
10 predict = Republican victory in Ohio
and Massachusetts,. The Democrats will
aoahtless elect their whole ticket in New
York. With the possible exception of May.
naFd, Iowa IS doubtful. with the chances
favorlng the democrats.
In Massachusetts, there is considerable
detection among the Democratic working.
