New York. Nov. 5.-1'hirteen state cleo
tior;s are in progress today. and noswith
standing that 1895 is politically an of
year, considerable importance attaches.
to the outcome of today's %balloting, ow
ing to the proximity of the e presi
dental campaign, and the fact that H.
several states legislatures are being
chosen. upon whom will devolve the Sc
lection of United states senator's. In
this state all other issues are absorbed
in the Sunday observance question,
which condition of affairs was brought
about by Police Commissioner Roose-
velts enforcement of the statute passed
by a democratic legislature some years
since, prohibiting the sale of alcoholic
liquor in the city of New York on the
Sabbath day. The republicans have
ranged themselves in support of the en-
forcement of the law, which they claim
was passed by democrats not to be gem
orally observed. but merely to be used
as a club against anti-Tammany saloon
Keepers. The latter are against the law.
The election today is for secretary of
state, comptroller, treasurer, attorney
general and an entire legislature.
Tie republican managers are looking
with eNpsctant eyes toward Maryland
and Kentucky, and prophesy victory in
these hitherto u~nassailable democratic
Strongholds. The republican strength
In Maryland depends upon the anti
German sentiment, which has been
aroused by the senator's alleged ma
chine tactics; and so strong has this
sentiment become that 1t has been said
that German would willingly sacrifice
the state ticket If thereby he could save
the legislature. A governor, comptrol-
Ter, attorney general. lower house of the
general assembly, and fourteen state
senators are being selected.
In Kentucky republican hopes are
based upon the steady growth of that
party during the past decade, in the last
congressional election the total demo-
cratic plurality being but 1883. An adj
ditjonal element of strength is the ano-
malou position of the democratic gu
bernatorial candidate. P. Wat Hardin,
an aVoWed free silverite. running on a
gold platform. The republican candi-
date for governor is Colonel William O..
Bradley. There is also an animated SEN
atori2l contest, growing out of the cleo
ton of members of the state general as
sembly. The principal figures in this
contest are United States Senator Black
burn. who has denounced the gold plat
form of his own party, General S. b..
Buckner, and Congressman James B.
McCreary.
Ohio, of course. Is in the thick of the
fight, upon todayis results, according to
many of the politicians, depending to a
large extent the candidates who will
come before both of the national con-
ventions of '96. Members of the state
legislature who will choose a successor
to United States Senator I3r.ce are being
selected, and this phase Of the contest
In a measure ov~ershadows the guberna-
torial contest between General Asa
Bushnell and ex-Congressman James e.
Campbell, democrat. The senatorial as
pirants are Brice, the present incum-
bent, II Foraker, the old time antag-
onist of Senator Sherman. a somewhat
m~ercenary summing up of the situation,
as outlined by a prominent Ohioan, has
it that Brice's millions will buy the
seratorship and that Bushnell's millions
VIII buy the Sovernorship, leaving For
aker and Campbell out of the race.
Bushnelfs victory would mean an adj
ded element of strength in McKinley's
presidential boom, while CampbelIs
election as governor after McKinley's
overwhelming victory in the last cleo
ton, would place him at the head of the
list of democratic presidential possibilt-
ties.
In Massachusetts,, the reelection by
the republicans of Governor Greenhalge
and the remainder of the state ticket.
Including a new legislature, will not be
a surprise even to the democrats.
Utah is selecting a governor, two rep
resentatives in congress and a full state
ticket, including a legislature which will
be entitled to choose two senators of the
United States. The republican candi-
date for governor is Heber NJ. Wells.
and the democrats are supporting John
t. Game. 1t is said that an agreement
has been arrived at between the man
ayers of both parties whereby one of
the United States senators to be Sc
lected by the legislature will be a Cen
tile and the other a Mormon.
The people of Iowa are ballotine for
the selection of a governor, state ticket
and legislature. the latter to select a
successor to Senator Allison.

ondary interest, the officers to be
elected including only a state treas.
urer and seven judges of the supreme
court. In Nebraska, also, the election
