In lhirty-one States a governor and a
full or partial set of State officers are at
stake. The following elect a governor:
California, Colorado. Connecticut, Idaho.
Kansas, Michigan, Minnesota, Nebraska,
New Jersey, New York, Nevada, New

In Illinois, Iowa, Florida, Delaware,

Washington one OF more minor State Off
GERS. treasurer, auditor or justice of the
supreme court. Will be contended for.
in nearly all of these States the Demo-
Gratis are confident of making gains in
the congressional and legislative dis
tricts In many of them they are abso-
luteiy sanguine Of success in every direc-
tion. This Is particularly SO Of New York.
Despite the eleNenth-hour boasting of
Messrs. Platt. Quigg and OdeI Judge
Van Wyck viii certainly carry the State

law, the injustice of the force bill. and
the decentralization Of the National Guard
Will work an effect tomorrow that viii
greatly disappoint the hopes of the Re
publican leaders. There will certainly be
Congressional gains, and the same causes
that Will bring about these results will
certainly give a Democratic majority in
both branches of the Legislature
In New York city Capt William Astor
for Congress and rlght-hand man to Sen

that gentleman ever experienced Mr..

ago but Capt. Chanler feels confident
that ne viii turn those figures upside

f-rG in has efs. Fa
of the work of the campaign is over.
Confidence of success is typical by an
adornment of the rooms with japanese
lanterns and great punches of bushy
chrysanthemums
Next in the Eastern part of the coun-
try comes Pennsylvania where, while
there is no boasting as to the guberna-
torial election. the supporters of Mr..
jerks. the Democratic nominee for gov
ernor, consider that they have solid rea-
sons for believing that he will be elected.
iis prospects are certainly very bright.
80 far as elections for Congressman in
that State are concerned, there will un-
ddubtedly be Democratic gains and the
legislature 10 be chosen will be so firm
character of that gentleman as 4 party
rnagnate in the State will be stricken from
the cast Of political stars. OF the larger
States IN the West Ohio. Indiana and I'LL
nois, there is every Indication of a re-
volt from Republicanism. In Indiana
prospects are particularly bright. while
IN Illinois the most trustworthy reports all
along the line indicate that the Demo-
cratic State ticket will be elected. Chi
csgo is expected to go Democratic bv
majority OF at least $1,000. and there is
every sign that the party will elect at
least four, possibly five, of the seven Con-
gressmen in that city.
In Ohio the Republican household is di
vided against itself. The disciples of
Hanna never before worked more earnest
ly TO prop up their falling fortunes. but
they have not met with anything like the
MEASURE of success they anticipated The
latest reports from the Buckeye State
have given decided encouragement to
Democratic leaders. And so ii is from al
most every one of the forty-two States
where ballots will be cast tomorrow. Ken
lucky is certain to report a gain of two
Democratic Congressman if not three. and
in all the Southern States whatever
changes occur in Congressional districts
viii be in the direction of gains North
Carolina will swing into the column with
a gain of at least three members of Con-
gress.
The New Jersey Democrats are SAN
guine of electing Mr. Crane, candidate
for governor and Democratic legisla-
ture. There is long list of independent
voters in tie State and many of these
influenced by the results of the rule of
Bosses Platt- and Quay in the two re-
spective neighboring States will not hest
tate in voting against the chance IF such
class OF party owners smirching The
fame of Jersey. The labor vote of the
State also is evidently with the Demo-
cratic party.
In the States of Washington, Colorado,
and Nebraska the fusion operations
against the Republican tickets promise
well and in California, James c. Mcguire,
the fusion candidate for governor, esti-
mates a heavy plurality for that ticket.
John Lind. the Democratic candidate for
governor of Minnesota is confident of vic
tory.
The above statement of the outlook is
based upon the oponions of prominent
Democratic political manager i'm all the
States where elections occur. There is
every reason TO believe that it is not an
extravagant showing. Tomorrow night
the story will be read by the people and
then win end one of the most important
