solute confidence In the result. The
campaign has been picturesque. THE
question Of Sunday liquor selling is
the most prominent issue, though the
democrats hope to reclptmp the leris-

a comic weekly. Under the new law

inees. hut has placed local candidates
of its own in nomination ia several
localities. notably in Brooklyn. This
is the organization that polled a7.202
votes for Everett H. Wheeler for gov
ernor hast year The popular belief
Is that Senator Hill is paying more
heed TO the election of a majority of
the senate. whose members will hold
office for three years, than to pulling
through the state ticket. The explain.
alton for this lies in the fact that the
incoming senate will take part in the
election Of a United States senator
next year Senator Hill is Il candi-
date for reelection. While it lis im-
possible to make any intelligent eS-
innate of the situation i'm New York,
1t seems likely that Tanmany may
win the city and the republicans t'he

The indirect consequences OF the
vote I'M Ohio will be an influence on
he presidential probabilities of Gov
error Mckinley. He was elected two
years ago by the emo. NOUS plurality
of S0995. and last Year the republican
candidate for secretary Of state had
137,oS plurality. 1t is reasoned now
that il the party should lose the
state, or even il the majority should
be reduced to 4 nominal figure. A lie

would be indicated The local issues

that tariff discussions are somewhat
