SENATOR'S TERMS EXPIRE

New York, November Mime ma
tional political conventions were held
this year, and also candidates fol
President and Vice President Of the
| United States were nominated, but
only six electoral tickets will be gen
orally voted for one week from today.
Besides the two great political par
ties, seven others made nominations
Peoples, Prohibition, Socialist La
Dor, Continental, two negro parties,
however, apparently ended their
work when the national conventions
adjourned, as no electors have been
selected, Or at least none will appear
on any official ballot; and the Cont
mental party seems to be confined to
Illinois, and perhaps to Chicago, and
place of its origin.
The terms Of thirty United States
Senators expire March 4th, next.
Seven of the vacancies have already
been filled, and the legislatures of
twenty-three states to be elected No
vember Sth will fill the other twenty
three. Members Of the House OF
Representative are to be voted for
in all except three states-Maine,
Vermont, and Oregon, which have
already elected their congressman.
In twenty-seven states a Governor
and all, or nearly all, the state off
GERS are to be elected, and, in thir
teen, electors are to be voted Tor.
South Carolina enjoys the distinc-
ton Of having only one ticket i'll the
field. All the other States have
from four to six, Illinois leading with
seven. There are three Republican
tickets in Delaware, but only one va
ration in the names of candidates

"Regulars refusing to abide by the
decision of the fractional conference
which resulted in withdrawal of the

ment upon a compromise ticket. The

officers, the "Stalwarts having de-

Toilette. The electors on both
however, are identical.
The Democrats and Peoples party,
or Populists, fused on the State tick
ct in Kansas and Nebraska, but in
both States the Peoples party named
separate Presidential electors. In Ne
vada the Democrats and one wing of
the Silver party divided the minor
state officers to be voted for, but the
'Stalwart Silver men put up their
own electors.
The Peoples party, which indoors
ed Mr.. Bryan in 1896 and 1900, has
an active organization in thirty-two
of the forty-tive states, the nominees
for state officers and electors being
on the official ballot in twelve states,
and for electors in twenty. Efforts
to this end were made in a number
of other states, but the requisite nun
Der of signatures to petitions We're
not obtained.

states. and electoral tickets in twelve
others-one less than in 1900.
