rHE ELECTIONS.

Twenty-Five States will elect FoveF-
nors this autumn. most Of them IN
November. Most Of these States viii
also choose Legislatures and other State
Officers. and In several Instances States
which do not elect governors will elect
minor State officers and legislatures.
All the States with the exception Of
Oregon. where the election has already
taken place. will elect delegations 10
the house Of representatives.
The State aud congressional district
conventions which have already been
held afford some idea Of the issues on
which the several political parties viii
appeal to the people. The financial
question. which was uppermost two
years ago. ia still prominent. and In
a number Of Instances Democratic or
Republican conventions have "reaf-
firmed" the declarations made by the
national conventions ~ 1896 In favor
" free silver or Of the maintenance
Of the gold standard Hut new ques-
lions arising from the war, especially
that Of possible territorial expansion.

forms. but there Ia no definite agree
ment upon them In the conventions %
either political party.
The alliances between Democrats
and the Peoples party. which figured
so prominently In the presidential
election. are being renewed In some
Instances and dissolved In others the
policy varying with the differing de-
Erees Of intensity Of feeling upon the
financial question. and also with the
ease or dificulty Of distributing nom
nations TO the satisfaction Of the al
lies. In two or three States, NJ In
Pennsylvania and TO some extent In
New York. the questions Of local goy-
eminent seem likely to oyershadow OF
confuse national issues.
A novel feature OF the New York
election will be- the means which are
to be taken to collect the ballots Of
soldiers from that State who are In the
service Of the United States This Ia
required by law recently enacted by
the legislature. but the soldiers are 10

The elections Will have an impor-
tant bearing upon the composition "

Of thirty senators, ~ whom nfteen are
Democrats, three populiats or silver
senators, aud twelve Republicans. ex-
pire next March. and the places Of
most Of them will be filled by tho leg
lslatures which are to be chosen this
year. The legislatures which olested
the retiring contingent OF senators
were themselves chosen six years ago
when the strong movement which car
rled Mr. Cleveland into the once Of
president for a second term prevailed
In several States which are usually Re.
publican. II these States return TO
their earlier political position In the
choice of legislatures this year. the
complexion Of the senate may be ma
terially changed. In Maryland Re-
publican has been already ehoasn TO
succeed Senator German.

8. D. TAYLOR, Editor and Proprietor.

The question of a Triple Ali
ance has been very thoroughly dis
cussed in Idaho during the past
two weeks, and by taking what has
been said and written upon the
subject, one can form very fair
estimate of the situation. Two
weeks ago we stated that the three
silver parties were almost solid for
union, but later ex pressions do not
bear out that statment with refer
ence to the populists. The popu
lists favoring union seem to have
been the first to speak out, hence
the false impression with reference
to them. Several of their most in
fluential organs came out plain and
strong against a triple alliance
this week. Some are in favor OF
uniting with the democrats again
but a large number advocate a
middle-of-the road policy. No OPP
position of any dimensions worth
speaking of has arisen in the dem
,ocratic or silver republican parties
against triple alliance, and if the
populists persist in middle-of the
road policy, there is every indica-
ton that the democrats, and silver
republicans would unite and that
they would be supported by large
number of influential populist
leaders. Such ticket would have
a walk-a-way.
