1t is a mootcd question whether the Governor
has the right TO approve bill which has been
vetoed by Mayor. and probably the courts will
be called on TO solve 1t. 1t is proposed that Gov
crnor Morton shall sign some measure which
meets his approval, Notwithstanding Its non
acceptance by the city affected, and thus open
the way for action by the courts. Some reputable
lawyers hold that the language Of the Constiiu-
ton Is not entirely clear as to what shall be done
with such bills after the Legislature adjOurns,
and a judicial Interpretation Of the section re-
latng to city legislation Is to be desired.

Inent OF the city departments by Tammany Hall
Commissioners. The passage Of this bill was OPP

special reasons. But the Tammany leaders Will

of It's enactment he will undoubtedly do his part
toward making II law. The Investigations will
be conducted by the Commissioners Of Accounts,

Outside New York the situation in Mary
land, Ohio, New Jersey and Kentucky
chiefly attracts attention. In Maryland
there is a determined revolt against
bossism, or, as it is personifed there,
against Gormanism. The Democratic can
ddate for governor, John f. Hurst, is a
citizen and merchant of unexceptonal
character and reputation, but being regard
ed as Senator Gormans personal candidate
he is vigorously opposed by many of the
Democratic leaders. His defeat would be
chiefly significant in that it would serious
| ly impair Senator Germans political in6u-
ence in Maryland.
In Ohio the Republicans are sanguine of
winning an easy victory upon both the
gubernatorial and legislative tickets, the
latter being the more important, and the
one likely to be most sharply contested,
for the reason that the new legislature will
elect successor 70" Senator Brice, who is
fighting hard to seqg}iss,a majority of votes
and his own reelection. ut. @Sotucky, one

General Hardin, their candidate for govo
ernor, was nominated on a sound, safe mon
ey plank and he is nunning as the repre-
sentative of the free and unlimited silver
Democracy. He kicked the sound money
| plank from under him early in the canvass,
with the result that those who approve it
are vigorously opposing his election.
In New Jersey the nominee for governor
on each side is a strong, able and reputable
man and vigorous canvass is being conduct
ed. The main thing against the Democratic
nominee is that he has the support of the
''old gang" against which the people of
the state rebelled last year when they gave
the Republican ticket a plurality of more
| than $4,000. In Pennsylvania the total
vote will doubtless be reduced from that of
last year, and the Republican majority
correspondingly cut down, but it will be
big enough for all practical purposes.
State treasurer is the highest officer to be
voted for in that state.
| In Massachusetts there is no doubt of
Gov. Greenhalge's triumphant reelection
and popular interest will cenrte mainly in
the figure which the A. p. A. succeeds in
cutting in the election. In Iowa and Mis-
sssippi the campaigns are unimportant
and unexcting. In both the currency
question furnishes the main issue. The
only officer to be elected in Kansas is the
