Nebraska, New Jersey. New YORK. Ohio,
Pennsylvania, South Dakota, Virginia and
Wisconsin. Iosa. Massachusetts, Ohio,
Wisconsin and Virginia will elect state
tickets. New York elects both branches of
the legislature and all the state officers
with the exception of governor, and also
delegates to the constitutional convention.
The other remaining eight states will
choose judges or Legislatures. Only three

States senators-Iowa, a successor to

out the unexpired term left vacant by the
death of Senator Barbour.
In Iowa the Democratic platform op-
poses free silver, and the candidate for
governor is Horace II. Boies, the most pop
ular man in the state. These things favor
the Democrats. The Republican candi-
date for governor, Frank ID. Jackson. is
not the strongest man who could have
been nominated, and attacks upon his
personal character have discouraged the
Republicans.
An Associated Press dispatch says:
"DEs MONIES. Ia, Nov. 5.--Many COM
piications on account OF the Prohibition
and Pcpulist parties make q forecast of
the probable result Of Tuesdays battle in

In Massachusetts the Democrats have a
very strong candidate in John K. Russell,

Republicans have changed their policy
this year and. instead of nominating a
professional politician or a rich man of
no executive ability, have put up ex-Con-

who has made a splendid canvass. The
Republicans have better chance of sue
cess than for several years.
In Nebraska the Democrats and Repub-
licans both oppose free silver. The fight
is between the Republicans and Populists,
with the chances in favor of the former.
"0MAHA, Nov. 5.-Tuesday will terminate
the quietest state election ever conducted
IN Nebraska. The only state officers TO be
elected are justice of the supreme court
