ALBANY, August II, 1912.
The Meeting of the Legislature candidates for Go
vernor-DfiAeyites.
On Tuesday next the Legislature meet, and al
ready many of the members are in town 1t will be
remembered that this session was agreed upon sole
y for the purpose of disrctng the State but strong
and strenuous efforts being made, especially by
the friends of she New York and Erie Railroad, to
induce the Legislature to break through this restrc-
ton to include least that road in the objects
of legislation. The prevailing opinion here, how
ever, is that the Legislature will strictly con6ne
themselves to the object for which the session was
called, course which the sense and voice of the
people will fully Justify and commend.
AS the election and conventions are near at hand,
it is likely that great share of this extra session
will be devoted toahe business of Governor making;
and as finale, we shall undoubtedly have CASE
Gus address from the members OF each party to ''he
people, As to the candidate, VIM. G. Bouck from
his great popularity, and peculiar claim he has upon
the party, will be almost beyond question the cand
date of the democrats. The wings are divided be-
tween the claims of the able, talented and dgnifed
Lieut.. Governor Bradish, and the lively, gentleman
ly, ex-comptroler John A. Coyer. Either of the
three would make good Governor.
There is considerable excitement here Just now
among the religious portion of our population. The

stroyed in April, 1913, have arrived, and pitched
their immense tent, from whence day and night is.
