the City-In Ohio Republicans VIII
Elect State Ticket but Legislature Is in
Doubt.
Albany, N. Y, October 51.-Twenty-
four hours before the practical closing OF
the campaign finds condition as
chaotic, politically, as has ever been ap-
parent in the politics of New York state,
duo to the injection of some of the most
bitter municipal contests that have ever
prevailed in the cities Of the state. In
Greater New York, in Albany and IN
Rochester, in Syracuse and in Buffalo,
the five great cities of the state, there will
close tomorrow, campaigns upon local
issues that have been notably bitter and
even virtulent.
The indications at this writing are that
while the contest for chief judgeship OF
the court OF appeals will be spirited one,
the chances are distinctly in favor OF
the election of the Republican candidate.
The belief is general that the Republican
vote in Central and Western New York
that has for the past two or three years
been abnoriaally large, will be in some
measure reduced, but there are no indi-
cations that it will fall below it's own
normality, which is to bring down to
the Harlem river n plurality of $4,000.
with which to meet any plurality which
the Democrats below there can show II
is, however, Of advantage to remember
that tO elact q Den,ooratjo otata ofiioor
after the tremendous Republican plurali-
ties of the past three years, would be an
almost unprecedented event.
Throughout the state the Democrats
have made strenuous efforts this fall to
increase the number of Democratic mem
bers of the lower house, and it is evident
that success will crown their efforts.
The next assembly will, however, be
still Republican by very good margin,
but the Democrats will accomplish one
thing for which they are evidently striv.
ing the reduction of the Republican ma
jority to such an extent that in such re
duotion they may see hope of Demo
cratic house in 1898, when successor te
Senator Murphy is to be elected. The
localities where the Democrats expect tc
gain most largely are New York and
Kings counties.
No contest in politics of purely local
nature has ever created such interest in
the upstate counties as has the Great
New York contest for mayor. From
carefully gathered opinions of the lead
ers outside of the confines of the munici
pality where the contest is occurring, il
is al parent that general expectations
are that Tammany will win and that Mr.
Low and Mr.. Tracy will have a fight fol
second place.
These representations are based upor
the theory that the normal Republican
vote is very much more evenly divided
among the candidates than is the Demo
cratic vote and the information comes
from such reliable sources that it is hard
ly to be questioned.

LOOKS BAD FOR HANNA.

Cincinnati, October 31.-There were
many bets taken last night and today on
the result of the election. The betting
was limited to Ohio. Odds were given
on the Republican state ticket, but offers
of evan money on the legislature were
not wanted. Odds were asked on the fu-
sion ticket in Hamilton county, but the
betting was mostly even. The betting
fraternity are carefully reviewing the fig
ures of former years as well as present
conditions. Two years ago Gov. Bush
nell had Republican plurality OF 9S,62S,
and the legislature that elected Senator
Foraker had majority on joint ballot
of 50. Last year Ohio gave Mckinley a
plurality of 81, ,109 for President, and it
is with this vote Of last November for
President that the vote of next Tuesday

JAPAN PROPOSING CONDITIONS

1t now appears that Japan's accept
ance of Hawaii's proposition to submit
the immigration dispute to arbitration
is accompanied by conditions that Ha-
waii cannot safely accept. Japan's pro-
position, in brief, is so to widen the
field of the arbitration that Hawaii's
right to enact protective laws in rela-
ton to immigrants may be tested by a
third party. Hawaii wisely regards
this proposition as tending to jeopar-
die her own sovereignty, by submit
ting her right TO enace laws at her own
pleasure to an international court
The question that should go to arbitra-
ton is merely whether in law or in
equity, under the terms of a treaty
or in the absence of notice of a change
OF policy, Hawaii should reimburse
certain individual Japanese who were
refused admittance to the islands the
peeuniary losses incurred by them in
consequence VI SulS REFUSAL. Inc issue
is whether Hawaii owes money; not
whether she has made an irrevocable
treaty with Japan which virtually
transfers Hawaiian sovereignty to that
power. Hawaii's acceptance of the
present proposal of Japan would in
volve the entire question of national
stability, to preserve which she is even
now resisting Japan's reading of her
treaty with that government. The next
step will doubtless be a denial by Ha-
wall of Japan's right so to complicate
the situation, and a restating of the
plain propositions that are properly
the subject matter for court of arbi-
tration. This will lead to further cor
respondence, notwithstanding the hint
now thrown out that Japan's present
note is in the nature of an ultimatum.
There is no necessity and no justifica-
ton for such an ultimatum, and it is
wholly within Hawaii's right to re-
quire that full time be permitted in

THE DANGEROUS PLANK.

From our standpoint, the article
in the platform of the American
Union Party, recommending leg
islation prohibiting importations
by the Government of material of
any kind whatever" has no present
bearing on the election of the can
didates, nor does it affect the an
nexation question. The candidates
are good men, and should be elect
ed.
But it is the dangerous charae-
ter, the absurdity, and the low
morals set forth in the article, that
mjure the platform itself. The
Scriptures say that God "winked"
at the sins of the people. The PEG
pie may on occasions wink also
at preferences given by Govern
ment officers to the home producer.
But to take the practice out of oc-
casional winks, and make it a def
mite political principle is quite an
other affair. Because, if it is a
sound principle that the Govern
ment, which is after all only the
people, should buy at home, what
ever the cost may be, then it is
quite as sound to hold that the peo-
pie should buy at home, too. This
is Just what the people will not do,
nor will the men do it, who drew
the article. There is some very
ragged logic in claiming that the
people may buy anywhere in the
cheapest market, but when the
people, in the form of its own
Government, buys, it must buy
when cheapness is of no special

Last Night.
At meeting of the Football League,
held in the basement of the Hawaiian
Hotel last night, the following sched-
ule of games for the season of 1897
was arranged:
First-October Both: st. Louis VS..
Town.
Second-November 18th: Regiment
VS.. st. Louis.
Third-November 25th: Regiment
VS.. Town.
The colors chosen by the competing
teams are as follows:
st. Louis-Black and white.
Regiment-Red, white and blue.
Town-Orange and black.
All the members of each team will
be dressed in the uniform of the team
AMI no one will be allowed to depart
from that rule by wearing something
outside of the regulation. This was
specially arranged in order to give the
public the benefit of being able to dis
tinguish the teams and their plays.

to the U. S. S. Philadelphia for game
to take place on October 18th.
