THE POLITICAL FIGHTS IN OHT0, NEW YORK AND IOWA—CONSIDERATIONS WHICH MAKE THEM OF ESPECIAL IMPORTANCE JUST NOW—NATIONAL ISSUES TO BE TESTED THIS FALL. It is not often that on an “off year” there is as much of importance in politics or as much political work being done as thia year. Even in states where only minor state officers are to be elected this fall the prospects aro discussed as if much depended upon them, and it may be said with substantial accuracy that the national comuittees of the two great political parties are now watching and directing the political movements over the whole country in a way they have never before done, except during @ presidential campaign. Even the campaign of Pennsylvania, where no officer higher than state treasurer and au- ditor general are to be elected, assumes almost 4 national importance. In Ohio, New York and Iowa the result is awaited with scarcely less in- terest than during a national campaign and the consequences of victory or defeat are regarded by the managers of both parties as potential for the futur There are a great many things which go to give this importance to otherwise compara- tively unimportant elections. First of all the fight now is preliminary to what is expected to be a life and death struggle for one of the parties a year hence, and every cnergy ls being strained to get the advantage of the McKinley bill, with all the ions as to its effect, makes a test of Popular sentiment with regard to It, after it as been in operation for a while all import- while the overwhelming defeat the repub- sustained at the last congressional elec- tion is a considerable offeet_ to the feeling of confidence inspired by the former general victory. The significance of that defeat is yet to be fully tested. A third party has arisen to bring in a new element, the strength and in- fluence of which has not’ yet been measured, and both of the old parties are in doubt as to what the consequence of the new movement will be to them. Again, there is the widest difference of opinion and a ‘de- lightful” uncertainty in both of the old parties on the currency question, and it is important to determine what part of the ques- tion of free comage of silver is going to play in the presidential campaign. Incidental to the currency question and the tariff question comes in that of the fiscal policy put into practice by the last Congress, represented by “liberal ap- propriations” from # republican point of view and by “extravagance and national bank- Tuptey” according to a democratic view of it. With these issues, now detined more clearly than ever before, and as yet practically un- tested, the two parties are approaching the na- tional campaign and it is necessary for them to begin their skirmishing a long way ahead. joing along with thee are the individual ambitions of men who seek the honor of leading their parties in the coming fight, and the ve- lection of presidential candidates depends much upon the results of the contests now opened. THE I68UES IN OHIO. The result in Ohio means agreat deal to both parties, because the two questions which most disturb them are both to the front. The demo- cratsarea little afraid of the free coinage plank they have put in their platform and the republicans are accused of being very anxious about the tariff question. The democrats are consequently doing their best to make the tariff the main issue, while the republicans insist upon keeping the other issue well_ to the front, While both parties profess confidence, and though the state is ordinaril there is enough doubt in the situation to make both parties extremely anxious, and the third party element in the fight is one which neither canmeusure. The fight on Senator Sherman is personal, and he is subject to attack from three quarters—the democrats on one side, the third party folks on another, and yet on another by Foraker. But, while this situa- tion is one calculated to excite discord, it does another thing which may not be to the advantage of the democrats. Sherman bas taken a’firm stand on the money question und no other. By going to the front and making himself the central figure of the fight he gives that insue a prominence which it could not have if atten- tion were directed to McKinley. In the 0] fon of a great many republicans the party made a mistake in selecting a nominee whose asso- ciation with the single question of tariff was buch as to preclude all other iswies, ‘They re- eat the admonition about putting all the eggs in one busket. ‘The attitude of Mr. Sherman is in a measure an offset to this complaint and is apt to prove perplexing to the democrats, who count on opposition to the McKinley bill for their success. The democrats are putting fort every effort in their power to have the tariff overshadow everything. Out of y letters received at the democratic headquarters in this city the other day from the secretaries of various clubs in Ohio twenty-nine asked for tariff literature, while only one made a request for documents on the silver question. ‘The policy of the party will be to fill the state with tariff ers and to force McKinley to defend hi The free- coinage democrats in the state and the leaders of the third party, who ate fighting for the same thing, more or less directly, may take care of the’ currency question, but ‘the work done through the national committee will re- late to tariff. DEMOCRATIC OPPOSITION TO CAMPBELL. ‘The opposition to Campbell in Hamilton is a thing which will figure in counting up the re- sult, but to what extent no one can tell. The Australian ballot system is expected by the democrats to operate in their favor, but that is an assumption on theory. The fight between Sherman and Foraker for the senator- ship is counted on, too, by the demo- crats to help their ‘cause some. There is no doubt about the seriousness of that fight and there may be other possible candi dates for the senatorship drawn into it before the campaign is over. A Star reporter saw a letter from Mr. Foraker, written a day or two ago, thanking a friend for some ammunition for fighting Sherman and declaring that, while he had sought to avoid the fight and tried to keep out of it personally, Sherman had forced the fighting, dragging the senatorial contest into this campaign, and that he (Foraker would be grateful for whatevor his friends for him. ‘THE SITUATION IN NEW YORK. ‘The situation in New York is one which gives thedemocratic leaders most annoyance. The party there is in such bad shape, as 9 result of Fiv among possible candidates for the presidency, that they cannot help being con- siderably embarrassed in the campaign for overnor this fail. -It is expected that ‘lower will be the nominee for governor, though there are all sorts of complications possible be- fore the work of the convention is done. After that, when they have their candidate in the field, there is the fear which will remain—that rivalry will lead to the knifing of the candi- date lest he get too ambitious and start off as a residential candidate. The republicans are eenly alive to the situation, expecting the rival factions -to do each other and their party considerable Platt and his followers are working for the legislature ity that republican, yet outside the breastworks this time, though it may be nothing more than a bare possibility. ‘The moat serious trouble they anticipate wit their own lines is from the opposition to Platt ‘TRE FIGHT IN 10WA. TnTowa the democrats are fighting against the tariff and prohibition and are predictirg the election of their candidate for governor. A large number of speakers are to sent through that state and northwest In ever nor may not fal b THE FIGHT AGAINST THE LOTTERY. Post Office Officials Think the Company's Receipts Have Been Greatly Reduced. It will bea year this month since the act be- came a law which excludes the lottery com- Pany from the use of the mails. It is said by Post office officials that during that period the power of the company ‘has been greatly crippled and that its revenues have fallen off. ‘They claim that lottery ma! ter is now practically excluded from the mails and that the lottery company is confined to the use of the express in the distribution of its tickets and lottery literature. The recent arrest of the president of the company for using the mails for the transmission of lottery matter is spoken of by Mr. Maynard, the inspector in charge of the Louisiana district, as an evidence of Tigid enforcement of the law. He says that after the passage of the law the then president, Mr. Dauphin, decided that no attempt would be made to violate its provisions and arrangements were at once made to substitute the express for the mails. Last December Mr. Dauphin died and his successor, Mr. Conrad, who had been chief clerk of the company for a number of years, decided to try « scheme for utilizing the mails, A large nuimber of copies of the opinion of the supreme court of the state, which held that the proposed lottery amendment to the constitution had been properly enacted by the legislature, was sent by mail over the country ‘The >opies were mailable, but Mr. Conrad con- cluded to insert in each copy an envelope cou- taining the printed address of the lottery cor pany. ‘The latter was not mailable, and as ® result the arrests followed. Mr. Maynard also secured the arrest of the president of the Mexican company, whose head- arters are located opposite El Paso in Mexico. e company had been in the habit of sending their mail matter over to El Paso, thus saving 3 cents on each letter, the difference between the local postage in the United States and that from Mexico to this country. The inspectors were notified, and it happened that on the very night that Mr. Maynard and an inspector Were watching in the Ei Paso office to nab the Person who brought over the lottery mail the president of the company himself came in with the mail. It was usual to send some clerk across the river with the mail, but on that occasion the president was detained rather late at the office and when he was ready to go home the clerks had left. As he had some letters to mail he concluded to go over to El Paso and mail them himself. He went over and walked into the arms of the inspectors, who were really glad that he had not sent a clerk. The letters he carried were mailed and a large percentage re- turned by the persons addressed, so that the government has a large number of cases against the president. ‘The business of this company has also suffered, Mr. Maynard says, by the operations of the anti-lot- tery’ law. Instead now of offering capital prize of $60,000 the prize is £20,000. The Louisiaua Lottery Company has also re- duced the size of the capital prize by refusing to sell more than a half of any one ticket. The capital prize is therefore $150,000 instead of $300,000. Mr. Maynard considers that this latter circumstance is a significant indication that the revenues of the company have fallen away. Next spring the people of Louisiana wili be called upon to vote on the amendment to the constitution which will renew the charter of the company. Mr. Maynard believes that this amendment will be defeated. He says th the lottery company is bending every ener; in this election. ‘The anti-lottery party, Mr. Maynard says, has the governor of the state on its side and a large and respectable representa- tion of the people, who believe that the lottery is a cause of political corruption, and for this reason, independent of anything that can be urged on grounds of morality, ought to be abolishet. “He predicts one of the hottest po- litical contests ever known in the history of the state. . LIKE THE ONE HERE Mepresentatives of South American Republics Propose Establishing # Bureau in London. The several consuls general of the South American republics in London have inangu- rated a movement for the establishment in that city of a bureau of information concern- ing South American affairs similar to the bu- reau of the American republics, which was es- tablished in this city on the recommendation of the international American conference, and similar bureat which has recently been or- ganized ir Paris. The object of this burean, e those in Paris and Washington, is to make known the resources and commercial advan- tages of the Central and South American re- publics and to furnish specific information on commercial subjects when applied for. The gentlemen who have inaugurated this move- ment in their announcement sa; “The advantages conferred on trade through chambers of commerce which have been estab- lished in all parts of the world are universally admitted, and there can be no question that the enormous trade which during the last fifty years has arisen between this country and the states of . Central and South America and Mex- ico could be still further developed if their pro- duets and requirements could be brought more directly to the notice of manufacturers by means of a chamber of commerce dedicated especially to trade interests between Great Britain and those countries.” ‘The states proposed to be represented in the bureau are seventeen in number, viz, Argen- tina, Boli Brazil, Chili, Colombia, Costa Rica, Dominienn Republic, Ecuador, ‘Gaute- mala, Honduras, Mexico, Nicaragua, Paraguay, Peru, San Salvador, Uruguay and ‘Venezuela. ‘The bureau will include the following depart- ments: 1. Reading roomswith 2 complete collection of South ‘American papers and reviews. 2. Library contaitting the official publications of the South and Central American govern- ments, codes and other South American works. ‘This library would often save merchants from incurring costs and expenses when they have legal questions in hand. . Commercial museums in which to exhibit the products, &c., of each of the seventeen states, These musoums will contain the prod- ucts already known, and also those not yet in- trodneed to the English market. 4.
