or the dozen or so Of states which
hold elections next Tuesday. only half OF
them loom up into public interest.
These are Ohio which the democrats ex-
pect to win on a still hunt. The repub.
licans expect TO win through etate pride:
while Jones, independent, says be will
win by $1,000 plurality. The issue W.
permost 10 the campaign is whether the
Mckinley administration shall be en-
dorsed. State officers are to be elected.
In Kentucky the Goebel democrats ex-
pect q plurality OF 10000: the Brown
democrats hope to defeat Goebel; the
republicans expect a plurality Of 10000.
The issue in the fight is the new election
law Of which Goebel. candidate for gov
ernor. was the author. Nebraska is also
a state with 40 election Of national inter.
est. The Issues in the campaign are
really two-Bryan's candidacy for the
presidency and imperialism. The fus.
%,onisls 10 favor Of Mr.. Brysn's policy
expect q plurality of $1,000 to $1,000; re-
publicars look for a plurality Of 5000.
State Judicial officers only are to be
elected. The chief issue il Iowa is i'm
perialism and a Legislature to elect q
United States senator. A governor and
other state officers are also to be elected
Maryland's election even assumes a ma.
tional import from the fact that the re-
pubiicans expect to carry this old demo.
cratic stronghold, though the democrats
Haim they will win by G.0O0. Local good
government is the issue OF the cam
pa'gu: minor state officers are to be
elected South Dakota's state election
ss perhaps unique in this respect that
while the trust or no-trust discussion
has arisen to ill the popular mind and
press everywhere, this state is the fret
and only n to make corporations the
sole issue OF it's Election this year. A
supreme bench is TO be elected and the
union.reform party has nominated men
whose character and record stamps
them as men opposed to corporation
domination over the people, while the re.
publicans have renominated q bench
whose past history and record shows
them to be controlled entirely by cor
porate interests. The in~sldiousness With
which the corporate interests have won
victories 10 this state in the past give
the republicans great hope Of rejecting
their ticket, while on a good vote from
the rural precincts the reformers feel
confident Of q good majority.

THE WORST IN MANY YEARS.
The Streets of Charleston, w. Va, Under
Water and Five Thousand People
Flee Before the Torrent.

CHARLESTON, w. Va, March O.
Charleston is half under water, the
flood being the worst with one eXcep-
tion in 80 years. The steady. rains of
Friday and Saturday and Saturday
night, all through the Kanawha and
New river valleys, have caused a ire
mendous volume of water to be poured
into the Kanawha river. which here has
reached the 41-foot stage. The back
water from the Elk river, which flows
into the Kanawha at this city, has SUBJ
merged fully half of the city. Elk
City, suburb of $500 people, across
the Elk, and all the northern section
of Charleston, where hundreds of the
poor classes live, are submerged from
to 10 feet. Scores of families have
deserted their homes. The statehouse
can only be reached by boats, several
feet of water surrounding the
building. The Burlew opera house,
gas and waterworks offices and
many business houses are in a
AZ .OO
the electric light plant was submerged.
There is not gas or electric light in
the city. The work of saving house
hold goods is a fearful one IN the flood
ed district. Hundreds of citizens are
homeless: hundreds of others have no
fires, and with difficulty can get any
THING to eat
Sunday night there is perfect bedlam
in many parts of the city. The streets
are full of drunken men, and several
serious fights have occurred. George
Becker, of the 1st West Virginia
regiment, was knocked in the head
by Jim Roman, and is reported at
deaths door. Several colored men as
saulted j. A. Jarrett and dangerously
wounded him. The police are power
less and burglars are committing all
kinds of depredations, looting private
residences which have been deserted
by the owners.
