ELECTioNs WILL BE HELD IN SEW
ERAL STATES TUESDAY.
"S"eraA Forecns OF the lection in
on'o, New York, Iowa and Other
states = Confidence Displayed by
All Parties.

a. s1aScs attorney general, Judge OF
the supreme court, member of the board
OF pubic works and food and dairy com
missioner on the state ticket, and on the
county tickets they will choose members
OF the senate and house of representa-
lives forming the general assembly and
country officers. From the character of
tue nominations for governor it has nee
essaruy almost been a campaign based
on national issues. Gov. Mckinley's CON
necuon with the present tariff law natur-
ally brought HIM to the discussion Of the
prihcipie OF protection, aad his campaign
speeches have been largely devoted to
ina SUBJECT, with some reference to the
ctFffLcy question and to the sttitude of
tne administration toward pensioners. On
the other hand Mr. Neal, from his posi-
tion OF author of he tariff plank in the
iast Democratic platform, which he had
the honor to place there against ibe on
position OF q majority of the platform
committee. has spent much of his time
on the stump to controverting McKinley's
protection arguments, and in enforcing
has W views in favor of a tariff for
revenue only. The Republicans have
from the beginning claimed the election
OF Mckinley ny ms joI tiles ranging from
Io'V0 to $1,000, although Harrison's
plurality last year with which COMPARE
son will be made) was only 1,O72. The
Democrats do not concede these claims,
but they are by no means so confident of
carrying the state as are the Republic
| ans.
New York, Nov. 6.-The whole issue of
the campaign seems to have been in the
nomination Of Isaac III. Maynard for as
sociate Judge for the court OF appeals by
the Democracy. While Maynard la but
one OF the five state officers on the ticket
the average voter, if asked, would pause
TO think before he could tell the names
of The other four candidates. The op-
position to Judge Maynard has been of
such a nature that all else was lost
sight of, and wildly recall the charges
made against him in 1891, that he re-
moved contested election returns and
| gave the Democratic party a majority of
n in the state senate, giving them also
control of every department of the state
| government. A majority of the legal
fraternity of the state seem to be opposed
to Maynard, and many predict that he
| win be defeated. Sanguine Republicans
| g. ~ "a ~S " Sldith "a S"GtBths NlSttiy
| for their whole ticket. The Democrats
seem TO have little fear Of the loss of the
legislature and While the Republicans
may again secure control of the senate
the more conservative of both parties be-
lieye that the Democrats will have a
majority on joint bLIlOt.
Des MONIES, Iowa, Nov. G.-The ticket
/ f, br voted ~ laura En ,nrr~,v a., g.
governor, lieutenant governor, superin-
tendent Of public instruction, railway
commissioner, judge of the supreme
court, together with a fun lower house
| of the general assembly, a majority of
the members of the Upper house. The
legislative ticket Is considered of great
importance, as at the next session a
successor will be elected to Senator Wil-
son, whose term expires in 1896. At
The Republican headquarters they claim
n plurality for jackson of LOO, with a
little more CT the remsinder of the tick
ct, on accoaut of tha fight made on Jack
son Ivy the prohibitionists, and safe ma
~joIities IN both houses of LIE legislature.
The Democrats are equally confident of
the election of Gov. Boies and the re-
muinder of their ticket. The Populists
feel confident that their candidate for
governor, Joseph, win poll 60,0O0 votes.
They also expect 70 elect several legis-
~lators, and are hoping to secure TIE bal
ance of power.
Topeka, Kan, Nov. 6.--Ihe elections
tomorrow win be for clerk, treasurer,
sheriff. register of leeds, coroner, survey
or ind county conimi ssioner in each cou
ty, and for judges in thirteen of the
thirty-five judicial districts, After the
crushing defeat of the Republicans In
1892 it was generally predicted that they
would never again make a stand in the
state. The Republicans are, however,
in the campaign this year as usual, and
as the Populists are without Democratic
aid in al! bet thirteen counties there is
a prospect that the Republicans will
| recover some of their lost ground. The
| Populists claim to be confident that they
win hold their ground.
