TO-MORROW'S ELECTIONS.
Hot Contests Being Waged in Vir-
ginia and Iowa.
Mckinley Will Garry Ohio by Big
: ajority-The Indications Are
Favorable to the Repub-
leans in Massachusetts
and Nebraska.

Thirteen states will hold state elections
tomorrow: Iowa, Kentucky, Maryland,
Massachusetts, Missouri, Nebraska, New
York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, South Dakota,
Virginia and Wisconsin. iowa will elect
a governor, several other state officers
and legislature, which will choose sue
cessor to U. s. Senator James +. Wilson,
Republican. The Democrats have re-
nominated Gov. Horace Boies, who had
S,216 plurality in 1891.
Kentucky will elect Legislature, which
will be Democratic, ensuring Demo-
cratic successor to Senator Lindsay.
Maryland will choose Legislature and five
judicial officers, and the Democrats will
doubtless be successful. Massachusetts
will elect legislature and full state
ticket. Gov. Russell having declined a
denomination, the Democrats have named
Representative Russell, and the Repub-
licans have selected Representative
Greenhalge. The Indications favor the
latter's election, as Massachusetts is
usually Republican state. The legisla-
ture will certainly be carried by the Re-
publicans, as we'll as the rest of the state
ticket. Missouri will select several state
officers, and they will, undoubtedly, be
Dem ocratic.
Nebraska will elect justice of the su-
preme court and three regents of the
state university. In 1892 the per centage
of votes on the presidency was: Republic
can, 43.47; Democratic 1912; and Popu-
- pl ha oortora {bo
ernorship was: Republican, 1912; Demo-
cratic 2238; and Populist, 34.75. AL
though the above votes do not show it on
their face, the Democrats and Populists
had an understanding last fall, particular
ly in certain congressional districts, and
in the legislature they combined to elect
as senator. Allen, Populist, who recently
broke the record by his long speech IN
the senate. This year the Democrats and
Populists are wide apart, and the indica-
tions favor the success of the Republican
nominees.
New York will elect Legislature and q
number of state officers including an as
sociate justice of the court of appeals to
succeed Isaac H. Maynard, who has been
nominated by the Democrats. Judge
Maynard is attacked by the bar associa-
ton on account of his relation to the
recent contest for the control of the leg
islature and he is accused of unprofes-
sional conduct in relation thereto. He
is vigorously supported by the Demo-
cratic state machine. As the legislative
districts have been newly arranged by the
last Democratic legislature, the Democrats
expect. to retain the legislature. The
result, however, is in doubt.
Several senators and full lower house
are to be elected in New Jersey and the
Democrats will likely continue in the as
cendancy.
Ohio will elect state ticket and leg
islature. Mckinley has been renominated
for governor by the Republicans, with
Lawrence T. Neal as his Democratic OPP
ponent. The contest Is being waged prin-
cipally on national issues.
In Virginia legislature is to be chosen
and several state officers including gov
ernor. There is some trouble in the
Democratic camp owing to opposition by
Populsts and silverites.
South Dakota will elect eleven Judges
of the supreme and circuit courts. The
incumbents are all Republicans and will
most likely be succeeded by Republicans.
Pennsylvania will elect a justice of the
supreme court to succeed Samuel Cuisine
Thompson, Democrat, now serving to fill
vacancy, and will also elect state treas
urer. The state will likely give the nor
NAL Republican majority.
Wisconsin will elect full state ticket
and legislature. The present state Of
ticers are Democratic as is the com plexion
of the retiring legislature. In 1892 Cleve-
land had 6,470 plurality in Wisconsin,
which had been in previous presidential
campaigns carried by the Republicans.
In 1890 the Democratic state officers were
chosen by about 5000 plurality. The
result this year will be awaited with in
terest as indicating to what extent the
Democracy holds its recently acquired
ascendancy in that part of the Union.
