A most thorough canvass of the State was made by tho two leading parties.

There are to bo elected a governor and a full list of State oHIcers, sevtn congressmen and a legislature that will choose a successor to Senator Ingalls. The Farmers Alliance and resubmission re-submission parties have both come Into prominence within -tho last eight months. The former I arty Is well organized and aggressive, with an enrulimentof ISO.OOO members. It acknowledges its present chief ambition to be tho relegation of John J. IngallB from the United States Sctiate. The resubmission party is a combination com-bination of Jiltherto heterogecus elements, whose basis or anion is opposition to prohibition. Its recruits re-cruits are from both the democratic and republican parties and its Sib-boleth Sib-boleth the repeal of the prohibitory law. The republlcau-resubmisalon-Ists are those who havo left the pnrty became the national republican republi-can and the Kansas republican party are at variance on the liquor law. The resubmission and demo cratic parties Iiava fused In tlieir nomination of a State ticket, declaring declar-ing that tho people of the State should havo an opportunity for an expression upon the question. Thus there are three full,Hff o tickets in the field, republican, '.farmers" alliance alli-ance and democratic resubmission. The successful party, whichever it may be, will probably have a plurality plu-rality or less than 15,(AW. The Farmers' Alliance and derac-craric-reubml96iun parties are generally gen-erally opposed to the re-election of Senator Xngalls. Ho has made an active csrnpaign, and laughs at the possibility of a republican defeat. The republicans claim the entire scvenCongrctsraen from Kansas, but the democrats cxpressa hope of electing two or three in the strongest strong-est alliance districts. WlSOONSIN'SPAKTl .

Ills republican op-jonent op-jonent is Governor Hoard, tho pres- ent governor, who was re-uominaleel by acclamationby tbd republicans, and who has boldly taken position posi-tion with his party that the Bennett Ben-nett law is sound and must remain re-main upon tbo statute book. By pledging themselves to its modification modi-fication or repeal, the democrats hope to secure considerable support from the Lutherans and other sectarian societies for their ticket. The only question-it as to tin. extent of this support; The rejrabllcans arc 'confident that they will gain from the democratic ranks a sufficient suffi-cient number of voters who favor the law to more than offset the sectarian sec-tarian vole. In the CougrcMdonal contests alone has the tariff question "been the subject of any considerable discussion. dis-cussion. WAIUI 'WORIv IN NEC3ASKA. Lincoln, 'eb., Xov. 3.
