In the seventh Castle, fu- sionist, Was victorious by only 214. The re- publicans are united and enthu: s while some of the fusion elements are lukewarm. The republicans won in the first district by only 1,500, but as there is hot even fusion against them they do not anticipate a reversal of that majority. “COLORADO.

In the third, Belknap, republican, won by 590, and the is close this year. In the fourth, republican, won by 1,110, in a total vote of more than 40,000. In the sixth Bou tells plurality over the democrat was only soz © fifteenth was carried by Marsh. republican, by 309, and the democrats are ccntesting it earnestly. The fourteenth is a former democratic stronghold carried by Groff, republican, by 1,731 plurality, plurality of the republican in the teenth was but 99 and the district i testable ground for both parties. In the nineteenth Andrew J. Hunter, democrat won by 1,218. The twenty-first district was arried by Jehu Baker, democrat-fusionist, by 402.

The republicans claim they will carry the first, fifth. sixth. seventh, eighth, ninth tenth, eleventh and thirteenth districts, giv- ing the democrats the second, third, fourth and tweltfa. The republicans say they have chances in the second and twelfth, the democrats may carry the fifth. Their chances in the fifth are not as good as those of the republicans in the tw2lfth and no better than those of the republi- cans in the secend. Overstreet carrying the seventh district assures to the republicans th? control of the legislature on joint bal- lot, for the same vote that wili be cast for Overstreet in Marion county will be cast for the republican legislative ticket. The districts considered most doubtful are the first, second, fourth, fifth, ninth and twelfth. In 1896, in the first, Hemen- way beat Duncan, the present democratic nominee, by 1,051.

This is a normal democratic district, and the democrats expect to carry it. ‘The democrats claim that they will be able to elect twelve out of the fifteen mem- bers of the national House, and that the republicans will get but three. The most bitter contest in the state is in the eighth district, where Silver Dick Bland is a can- didate for re-election. It is claimed by re- publicans that the sound money democrats, of whom there are many in the district, have determined to vote against Bland, MONTANA, The legislature is to be elected to choose @ successor to Senator Mantle.

NEBRASKA, In this state, a governor and legislature will be elected, the latter to choose a United States senator, the term of Senator Allen, populist, expiring. ‘The entire legislature s elected biennially. Shouid the republicans carry the legislature the name of ex-Senator Charles Manderson is prominently mentioned as’ Senator Al- len’s successor. The vote will be very close. The republicans confidently count upon re- versing the situation in Nebraska—instead of the state having two republicans and four fusionist national representatives, as at present, four republicans and two’ fu- vionists. The candidates for representatives in Cong -€: are: First—Rep., E. J. Burkett, Lincoln; fus., James Manahan, Linco!n. Second—Rep., David _H. Mercer, Omaha, renominated; fus., G. M. Hitencock, Omaha.

Three districts were close in 1896, the first, second and fourth. In the first Strode, republican, was elected by 199 over the fusion candidate. In the second Mer- cer, republican, beat the fusionist candi- date by 1,575. ‘The fourth was carried by Stark, fusionist, by 1,731. The same fusion now exists. NEW YORK. The governor and legislature are to be elected, and a successor to Senator Murphy (dem.) is in the balance. The next New York state legis!ature, it is believed, will show republican losses and democratic gains, but the best-informed politicians are positive that it will show a republican majcrity on joint ballot and send tu the Upited States Serate a nit can te succeed M-. Edward Murphy. There are no holdovers in either branch of the legislature, an€ an entirely new momber- ship is to be elected. »The present senate consists of thircy-five republicans, fourteen democrats and one independent republican. This gives « re- publican majority of twenty. This major- ity the democrats expect, and the republi cans practically. conseds, wil be redui The democrats-do not expect to overcom! it entirely forthe reason that 2 majo- ty of the senators come from the country is- tricts, and democratic gains this year in a efty against country figxt will naturally be confined to the large cities. “The presegt assembly or low-r house con- . Sists" of | sewanty-Hife ‘repubticias, two inde- pendent republicans, sixty-eight democrats apd one national democr This cives the republicans a majority of eight. The demo- crats are straining every nerve to caprure the assembly. ‘There are conservative po'l- ticians, however, who insist that, while the republican majority in ihe senate may be decrensed. WE Tepudlican mafority in the assembly will not be materiatly altered if it does Mmt show a reou n gain. The republicans claim a majority of about four in the senate, and not less than eight In the assembly—a majority of twelve on joint allots In the event of a democratic majority on joint baltot it is exnected that Senator Mur- phy will be elected to succeed himself. Tn 1WYjs connection it is well to say that there has .been ppnsiderable “inside” gossip to the effect that former Senator David B. Hill is. not loyal to Senator Murphy. and that in case a democrat is to be selected to.suegeed Murphy, certain Hill men from. up the state will refuse to participate in the demorratic caucuses. This worlld give them a balance of power, and would allow them to name Hill or some democrat friend- ly to him. Perhaps the most prominent candidate for the senatorship on the republican side is Channce¥ M. Wegew. Joseph Choate ts be- Neved by some to be entitled to the nomina- tidn on account of his brilliant fight at the head of the Bar Association for the re-ele tién of Judge Daly. Representative Bel- den, J. Sloat Fassett and Editor Butler of Buffalo have also been mentioned in case the senatorship goes to some other section of the state.

These are the second (Brooklyn), sixth (Brooklyn), fifteenth (Harlem), six- teenth (Westchester), nineteenth (Troy), twentieth (Albany) and thirty-second (Buf- falo). It is claimed that in every one of these districts the chances favor the re- publicans. The only other district classed as republican in which there is doubt is Quige’s district, the fourteenth. Cal'ing the fourteenth republican, the republican delegation in the next House, it is claimed, will certainly consist of twenty members. The districts which will return democrats, unless the unexpected happens, are the seventh, eighth, ninth, tenth, eleventh, twelfth and thirteenth. This leaves a sure democratic gain of one in the next New York delegation, with, of course, a chance of making inroads in the list of seven class- ed_as doubtful. Granting that the democrats capture all of these doubtful districts, it is still evi- dent that a majority of the delegation will be for sound money, the representatives from New York state in that event stand- ing: Republicans, 20; democrats, 14. NEVADA. The legislature to be elected this fall will choose a successor to Senator Stewart. The state is regarded as committed to a free silver candidate. The candidates for representatives in Con- gress are: At large—Fus., F. G. Newlands, renomi- nated; pop., Thomas Wren, renominated; dem., C. H. Belknap. NEW HAMPSHIRE. Governor and legislature are to be elected, but no senatorial seat is involved. The candidates for representative in Con- gress are: First—Rep., Cyrus A. Sulloway, Manches- ter, renominated; dem., E. J. Knowlton; soc. lab., Louis Armstein, Dover. Second—Rep., Frank G. Clarke, Poters- boro, renominated; dem., Marion’ F. Dan ie, Manchester. The republican majorities were so large in the last elections that the republicans do not fear & reversal of them. NEW JERSEY. Governor and Yegislature are to be elect- ed, and the latter will choose a successor to Senator Smith, democrat. ‘The assembly jast year was composed of thirty-seven republicans and twenty-three democrats. The eleven assemblymen from Essex county, Senator Smith’s home, were republicans, This year a strong assembly ticket has been named, and if the demo- crats carry it they will change the assem- bly to thirty-four democrats and twen- ty-six republicans to just what ts needed In other counties the democrats hope to gain, while the republicans must fight to control just what they had last year. New- ark, WPick is In Essex, only last spring flopped over to the democrats on the mayor- alty to 5,000 from 5,000 the other way six months before. But to overbalance this the New York city suburbs known as Or- ange and East Orange will give republican majorities, but whether they will enough cannot be predicted E Of the fourteen hold-over state senators seven are republicans and six democrats. The counties of Atlantic, Cumberiand, Ocean and Union will elect republicans, making sure republican control of the sen- ate. The democrats are sure of Hudson county, bringing their vote up to seven sen- ators. The republican chances of success are also bright in Bergen, Mercer and Mor- ris, which would, if carried, make the sen- ate stand: Republicans, 14; democrats, 7 In order to win the democrats will have to secure thirty-four assembiymen to in- sure the return of Senato> Smith to Wash- irgton.

Governor and legislature are to be elected, and the latter will choos Senator Roach, democrat.

The democrats now hold the third, fourth, fifth, twelfth, thirteenth and seven teenth districts—six out of the twenty-one. Of these they are likely to lose only one. That ‘s the third. It was carried by the democrats by only 101 votes two years ago. Of the districts now represented by republicans the seventh, eighth, ninth, fourteenth and eighteenth are uncertain. The ninth, which includes the city of To- ledo, is likely to be carried by the demo- crats. Though normally a republican dis- trict by about 3,000, it gave a democratic plurality of more than 1,000 last fall. The eighth district was cut out to be a certain republican one, but last fall it gave a republican plurality of only 800, In the twelfth, which was formerly a democratic stronghold, the democratic ma- jority was only 106 in 1896. The fourteenth district gave a plurality of only 1,909 for the republicans last fall. The democrats are claiming it, but repub- licans say Kerr will be re-elected by a re- duced plurality. The eighteenth district is the home of President McKinley. It is composed of three republican counties, and used to be regarded as the stanchest republican dis- trict in the state. One of the counties— Stark county—has been jumping over the political traces frequently lately, and re- ports from one other—Mahoning—place it in the doubtful list this year. In the twelfth district, now represented by a democrat—John J. Lentz—the demo- crats are sure to make gains, and Lentz, who was elected two years ago by the slender plurality of forty-nine votes, it is claimed, will run his plurality this time well uy toward the thousand mark. PENNSY AL Governor and legislature are to be elected, the latter to choose a successor to Senator Quay. republican. There are twenty-five hold-over senators in the legislature. eighteen of whom are claimed as favorable to Senator Quay. Twenty-five senators are to be elected and 204 members of the assembly. The fight which is being made against Senator Quay in Pennsylvania may reduce the republican majority on joint ballot, but the republit- can managers confidently claim that the republicans will organize the state legisla- ture. The candidates for representatives in Congress are: At large—Rep., Gelusha A. Grow, re-
