The McCook tribune. (McCook, Neb.) 1886-1936, 1895-08-23

6M& u sentatives, put a
INK q stop to activity at
the polls for about
two years, except
ing merely local controversies. The few
local elections held since the fall cleo
tions of 1894 have been spiritless, for
the most part, and it was not until the
Introduction of national questions, and
particularly the money question, into
the state campaigns Of this year that
they began to interest.
State elections will be held on No
vember 5 in twelve states, as follows:
Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Maryland,
Massachusetts,, Mississippi, Nebraska,
New York, New Jersey, Ohio, Penn
sylvania, Virginia, and in the territory
of Utah, which will, by that time, have
about complied with all the conditions
required of it in making it a state. Ore
gon, Rhode Island, Michigan and Wis
consin held elections early in the year.
The look ahead at the election Of
1896 is highly interesting, not only be-
cause a president and vice-president are
to be chosen, but because a new house
of representatives must be elected, and
the fate of t~wenty-nine senators, whose
terms expire in 1897, will be affected
by the determination of contests in
their states.
