Raymond In Chicago Tribune.
This Is an off year according to the
political almanacs because there la no
general election throuchout tha country
There are only one or two places where
a. United ' States- senator la even re
motely affected by tha election to be
held Tuesday, November T. There are
lasa than half a dosen states where gov
ernor ir te be choaen and In each caaa
tha
political oonamona are eucn mat
th results can be forecaated with -un
usual accuracy.
Thara are. however, three state cam.
pa lns and three municipal flahta In
different sections of the country which
are aeciaeciy spectacular and which will
give to th election return unusual in
tereat In Pennsylvania. Maryland and
Ohio, and In Philadelphia, New York and
Cleveland ther ara campaigns which
have throughout great moral political
issues, personal ambitions, and aensa
tlonal appeals to the people. Involving
political pasaions and. prejudices and
possible political revolution such a do
not ordinarily mark tha electtona when
national pollclea are not at atake.
In th states and cities named' the
fights are being conducted with extra
ordinary bitterness, but on such pecul
iarly local Issues that the .people , in
other part of th' country hardly could
be expected to analyse the election ' re
turn unleas they had abundant Infor
mation in advance.
Pennsylvania undoubtedly furnishes
th moat tempestuous and sensational
state campaign this year, and it 1 there
if anywhere that a great political revo
lution may be looked for. Pennsyl
vania long haa been ruled by th most
corrupt ling, of politician the United
Statea - ever has known. In Pennsyl
vania, under th unscrupulous leader

ernment of Philadelphia but has looted
th stat. debauched it officers-, elected
United State 'senator, and thrust it's
own odorous representative within th
chamber of th United Statea senate.
It is no wonder that the present pros
pect of defeat of th Pennsylvania Re
publican ring, following upon th reve
lation of corrupt use of stat funds for
the benefit, of political bosses, has
startled the country. It ia hardly prob
able that Senator Penrose, who is Quay'
nominal successor a party bos, could
have been beaten In th state at large
It it had not been for the opportune fail
ure of the ''Enterprise National bank of
Allegheny, the suicide of Its cashier.
and the disclosure of th act that a

th .bank as a 'return for th heavy

It Is thl officer who now la under fir.

It la easy to see, therefor, that th
people have a splendid chano to make

and It I quit evident that If an oppo

here, have mad up their mind to give
