states tomorrow, in five of which
Massachusetts,, Ohio, Iowa, Virginia and
Wisconsin-full state tickets and legis-
latures will be chosen. Among these
states the greatest general interest is
directed TO Ohio, where the campaign
has been fought with protection as the
predominant issue. The reelection of
Governor Mckinley is very generally
conceded to be assured, the only ques-
tion being as to the size of his plurality.
Two years ago he defeated Campbell
by over q, 600, and his supporters
are claiming that these figures
will be largely exceeded this year, on
the ground that the conditions ~favoring
republican success are much stronger
now than two years ago. The demo-
cratic hope is to at leas t lower the plu-
rality by which Mckinley was first
elected, arguing If this can be done it
will amount to defeat. 1t seems that
the appearance of Ex-Governor Campbell
in the campaign a week ago had the eff
feet to somewhat stimulate democratic
zeal, but the decision of the ex-governor
to help his party was probably made too
late to do it much good. Taking part so
near the end OF the fight only empha-
sized the well known fact that the
nomination of Neal was not pleasing
to Mr.. Campbell. Governor Mckinley
has maintained throughout q most Wig
orous and aggressive campaign, and it
will not be at all surprising if his plural
ity tomorrow considerably exceeds that
of two years ago. In that event it is
easy to see that Mckinley will be very
prominent in the thought Of the country
as a possible presidential candidate in
1896.
After Ohio, Massachusetts, and Iowa
share about equally in the interest Of
political circles. In the former state
the indications favor the election OF a
republican governor, while there ap-
pears to be no doubt that the other repub-
lican candidates for state officers will
be elected and that the leg
islature will continue to be republican.
AS TO Iowa, the chances of victory ought
to be with the republicans, but the de-
feat Of Boies is by no means assured.
The prohibition issue still complicates
the situation, while the democratic cam
paign has, on the whole, beer conducted
with the greater energy and aggressive,
ness, even if not altogether a fair and
manly fight. The result in Wisconsin is
problematical, with the chances favor,
ing the democrats, who have now full
control in that state. In 1890 Wisconsin
elected democratic state officers by 9
plurality of about 5000, and las
year tho Cleveland electors were chosen
by GAO plurality. 1t is quite possible
that he democrats may not show a.
much strength this year. or course
Virginia will elect a democratic gov
ernor and legislature.
There is a good deal of interest felt il
the New York election, more partlcu
larry with reference to the result Of tn,
voting for associate justice of the cour
OF appeals. For this elevated judicia
position the democratic candidate i
Justice Maynard, who is a member O
the court by appointment of the gov
ernor to nil a vacancy, his selection
being the reward of judicial sery
lees in aiding the democrats I
steal the state senate. An un
compromising fight is being mad
against Maynard, uot confined entirel
70 republicans, and his defeat is re
