THE ELECTION.

One week from tomorrow the voters
of the state VIII be called upon to
elect member of the supreme court
To many this may seem unimportant,
but The Herald desires to urge upon
The voters OF this southwest section
that the selection of judiciary officers
is OF far more Importance than any
other branch OF the government, gov
ernor not. excepted. Every litigant
knows this to be fact and there is
no telling when one may become in
VOWED in litigation through others
In this connection Judge Campbell is
recognized as one OF the ablest judges
on the bench and during the past nine
years his honesty in deciding ques-
lions OF great moment has never been
doubted and the bar of the state, in
Guiding Democratic and Republican
attorneys. universally speak well OF
the integrity of the court presided over
by Judge Campbell The Herald.
therefore feels it is a duty of those
Interested in the welfare of our state
to retain Mr.. Campbell on the SUI
preme bench. Certainly every good
citizen can spare the time to go to the
polls and vote. Good citizenship de-
mands this much on your part. Do not

In the proposed expenditure of

TO admit the use of 10o0-ton barges
three-fourths OF the cost will fall on
the cities of New York and Buffalo.
and yet 1t is in these cities that the
largest majority for the amendment
is expected at the election of Novemb-
er 3. There is strong opposition to
the Improvement in Rochester, though
it is estimated that s14.470.0O0 of the
cost of improvement would be dis
bursed in that county. Even after
the expenditure contemplated, the Ca
nadians viii have paid more per cap
ita for waterways than the citizens
of New York as asked to spend Some
of the hostility to canal enlargement
in New York comes from the rail-

roads in the state are those that par

To do honor to the distinguished

feeling no doubt that he had a large
number of warm friends and admir-

lieve, and rightly so. too. that the ju-
dietary should be removed as far as
possible from politics. ought to insure
Judge Campbell very large vote in

NEW YoRN MUNICIPAL ELECTION

The fight between Low and Nc
Clellan for the New York mayoralty is,
to all appearances, close one. few
weeks ago. when Grout and Fornes
betrayed the Fusion cause and sold
themselves to Tammany Lows out
look was momentarily dark. Since
then. however, the fushionists have
shown so much enthusiasm and de
termination that Low victory is con
fidently predicted.
The betting odds give an indication
in Lows favor. AT first Tammany
money was offered at good odds with
out takers. Then came strong
change in feeling. and Wall street re-
ported many good-sized bets at odds
of ten to nine and ten to eight on Low
Last Thursday, however. Tammany
opened a barrel" and brought the
bets TO even money. AS the sports
are most apt to be found on the Tam
many side, ii would be natural to have
more Tammany money seeking wagers
than Low money. Supply and demand
would have an effect even apart from
an unbiased estimate OF the probabili-
ties, and il the odds remain even IL
is fair Interpretation tn. Low is
the stronger candidate.
Newspaper test votes also show a
slight preference for Low. The New
York Worlds house-to-house canvass
registered over $4,000 voters in the
first three days, with a majority OF
about 300 for Low.
The Fusion camUaign has not only

But we leave our Democratic read

be certain-there is good reason for
encouragement In the fact that out
of a total of $4,000 Democrats who ex-
