In the eleven states which hold elec- tions next Puesday the campaigis will practically close today. Political work will not come to a stundstill, but the more arduous labors of the canvass will end, and what is done during the re- maining two days before the elec- tion will be chiefly the personal efforts of candidates. It is to be presumed that nothing more is to be ac complished. Everywhere the parties have fully sot forth their elaims to pop- ular and everywhere voters have decided how they will their vot Probably there are nota thou- nd men in the cleven states who have not reached a decision a to their course next Tuesday, or whose minds will change in the intervening time, not considering, of course, those who traftic in the right of suffrage. General political intorest conters upon four states—Massachusetts, New York, Ohio and lowa—three of which ave nomivally rvopublican states, Un- doubtedly Ohio has the first place in the interest of men of hoth the old parties, for the reason that the fight in that state is more distinctly on national issues than 1n either of the other stutes. There the vepublican candi- date for governor is the representative of his party in the country as the author and champion of the existing tariff law, put forward to test the judgment of the people of his own state upon the wisdom and merits of the law. In Ohio, also, the question of the free and unlimited coinnge of silver has held a place side by side with that of the tariff as anissue botween the parties, and has received exhaustive d'scussion at the hands of the republican leaders. So that while in other states questions of state administration and local issues have boen most prominent in the campaigos, Ohio is distinctively the battlefield on which is being fought the contest tween protection for American iudustr and “ree trade, between a sound and sta- blo currency and a monetary pol- icy that would reduco this coun- v to the single silver stand- rd and unsettle our whole finan- al system. Therefore it is that tho vesult in Ohio is looked forward to gen- crally with the groatest interest and anxiety, The campaign in that has been one of the most vigorous exciting in its history, and whatover the result the managers and leaders of both the old parties have won high credit for ability and zoal. The eampaign in New York, where stato issues and the dangerous powor of Tammany have been the chief matters of discussion has been wost ageressively carried on by the republicans, whose able and brilliant eandidate for governor has made one of the most remarkable canvasses of recent times. In Massachusetts, where stato questions have also been most promi- nent in the campaigu, both parties have made a very strong and ea‘nest fight, each maintaining a nigh plane of con- troversy, In Iowa the democrats have keptthe prohibition issue at the frout, with the tariff in second place, and as far as possible ignoved the silver ques- tion. ‘The republicans have mmintained a firm stand Qr protection to American industries und for honest money. As to the outlook in these states, it is perhaps suflicient to say that the repub- licans expet to carry Massachusetts, Ohio and Towa, and the indications in Now York are by no meuns unfavorable to them, The importance of the elec- tions in these states, in the beuring they will have upon the presidential contest of next reat. last was cons voort. on a stumps the Howe, ars Idgerton o is) support, cast, be- THE LEASE SALD THE BETTER.

Tho list of Omaha mayors will show that" this ideal has al been adhered to. Wo have had for mayor Jesse Lowe, Clinton Briggs, A. J. Poppleton, Geor Armstrong, B. E. B. Kennedy, Charles A. Brown, Bzea Millard, J. H. Wilbur, Joseph H. Millard, 8. S.Caldwell, James population, Omaha and capable. those days s 1. Boyd,Champion S. Chase and several other ropresentative citizens. Andnow when Omaha has 110,000 pop- ulation, when we have more need than ever for a representative citizen in the office of mayor, Mr. Poppleton lowers himself to the level of a ward heoler and actually commends a common dunghill politician who cannot talk the language of his own country correctly; who has no claim upon our citizens for any great enterprise or undertaking, and whom Nr. Poppleton knows to he totally incapableof performing the duties of the office. This is the most indecent thing that Mr. Poppleton has ever done and it will cling to him to the last duy of his life. Mr. Poppleton is a millionaire and the paltry office of city attorney ought not to swerve him from his higher obliga- tion as a loyal citizen of Omaha. Tt was his duty at this crisis to rise above his pecuniary interests and above his political affiliations and tell the peo- ple of this city what he knows to be trae, that Omaha will be everlastingly disgraced in the great years of 1892 and 1893 if such a man as Henry Osthoft is to be presented to her guests as mayor and have charge of her municipal affairs at the most critical period of her his- tory. Mr. Poppleton is reported by World- Herald as saying: Wo have in this race two local tickets— three, I mean. [ bad almost forgottou Dr. Conkling, a man for whom I have a great deal of vespect, but who is about 300 years 100 0ld to be the mayor of a city like this. This is very cruel and mean in view of the fact that Mr. Poppleton is about as much of 4 mossback as Conkling and has done more than Conkling to ob- struct the mavch of public improve- ments. Mr. Poppleton continued: ““And then there is George P. Bemis, “Aud then there was silence. “But there is also Henry Osthoff— * * . . . * “If it was left to me the choico of theso three would be quickly made,”* pursued Mr. Poppleton. “Ishould voto for Osthoff if thero was nothing more to say of nim than he is a democrat. That would be sufficiont; but theve 15 more to say. Ile has served the city in a public office for two yoars and has left u record in oftice of houesty and conscientious- ness of which the greatest may bo proud. When a man does that, when he stands up befors the scrutmy of men and does not fline, T look with favor on him.” Now Mr. Poppleton ought to know and did know that Osthoff has a record in the council that is entirely indefens- ible. When City Attorney Poppleton remonstrated against the stroot sweep- ing claims and said that the contractor could not recover a penny from the city, Osthoff voted him the entire claim. When Mr. Poppleton remonstrated against lotting tho contract for gasoline lamps at §4 above the lowest bid, Ost- hot! voted with the jobbers to award the contract to the highost bidder. Mr. Poppleton ought to know and does know that Henry Osthofl’s nomination was made by Hugh Murpby and other contractors and itis openly charged and can be proven that tes were bought by boodling contractors for Ost- hoff while the convention was in session. Is such a man M., Poppleton’s ideal for mayor? Is it not humilinting thut a man of Mr. Poppleton’s standing should prostitute his talents and publicly en- dorse such a person forthe highest office within the gift of our citizens just be- cause he is a democrat? the dele Tuk city hall bonds are not a new in- debtednes: The formal will be merely the granting of authority to place such bonds on the market.

If the Dritish govérnment were to extend any aid to Chili, in case of hostilities between that country and this, such an act of ~war would justify the United States in invading and taking possession of Beitish territory on this continent, and it is not to be doubted that this would very promptly be done. Nor is this the oaly vespect in which English interests would suffer, for her vast commerce with this country would be cut off. If England should acquire all of Chili it would not repay her thousandth part of what she would lose through a war with the United Staves.

He is in it to tho bitter end, and the end will be the election of the democratic ticket by a large majority, for which we shall be in a measure indebted to the independents. owing to the number of votes thoy will take from the republican party.—Osthoff's Tribune. Children, drunkards and fools usually tell the truth. Mr. Osthoff’s organist has given away the snap. Two votes for Conkling are equal to one for Osthofl. There is not a ghost of a chanco for Conkling and that is vre- cisely why cortain high toned gentlemen who are largely interested in fleecing Omaha taxpayers for their own benefit and in the interest of the franchised corporations are laboring so earnestly in behalf of Conkling with people who do not want Osthoff and are inclined to support Bemis.

On the answers given to theso ques tions largely depends the maintenance of harmonious relations between the Gladston- 1ns and the McCarthyites.
