none the disanection In the democratic ranks will
have some effect on the malorltles. They do not
think the democratic majority for the state ticket
will run higher than three hundred.
The interest," In this election IL more especially
confined, nrs, to District Attorney, and next, 10
Member OF Assembly for the county and Senator
Tor the district the county Is democratic, but the
successfully the democrats have elected tneir As
scmblyman. Their last successful candidate
David ,. HIN, is up for reelection. Ills opponent
1S James McCann who ran IN iS6s ami was
defeated Hllls friends say ne Is popula. in the
county, even among members OF the other party.
He PRIZES himself upon having made active eiiorts
and with some success to legislation for the
local interests OF The people OF the county OF Cne
mung, and especially OF the city OF Elmira. There
IS third candidate in the field for the Assembly,
MI. Cowen, who represents small organization
known the labor reormcrs- Its voting strength
amounts to about two hundred. Hill and his friends
hope nc will gee nearly all the votes OF the labor
formers TINS year on me ground that his efforts At
Albany were calculated to prOmoJe the interests OF
the class OF persons VINO principally compose that
little party On the other Dand the republicans set
mind the electors OF Cnemung mat Hiil was q MEM
ber OF last years Legislature ana voted for
coconspraiors Of Tamnany The leaders a Of 1ns
Tammany Ring are denounced criminals OF the
show, al least by implication, that ai the democratic
candidates Tor rejection to Onices at Albany were
participants In their Grimes, and should share their
OblOquy. They argue tnas In the absence OF any
important political issue having special reference 70
his State It Is essential to the interests OF the tax
payers 70 have In the Legislature u majority disn-
Rulshed for integrity and honesty Such majority,
Lhey say, should necessarily be republicans; for ali
the republican candidates are honest II all the
democratic are not otherwise But their wholesale
denunCiatOn OF the democrats are not swallowed
by many outside The ranks OF the republican party
Hence they Will not have much effect In this cleo
tion, even In the light for member OF Assembly. Hill
may not run SO well as he and his friends anticipate
q a na nnt nd nV q
sonable majority.
There Is some excitement in the district over the
Ohemung perhaps, as In steaben, the adJoin-
ing county. Both the candidates are citizens
there than in either Cnemnny rIi c or Schuyler
Each nominee has considerations IN his favor. The
democratic candidate has the advantage in personal
popularity, and the republican has the greater ad
vantage OF traditional majority. George b. Brad
ley, Of Corning, Is the democratic candidate. He
as lawyer Of ability, and with many friends, and
few, n any foes he IL personally popular. 1t is
vote in both Onemang and ID SCHUYLER, and that,
especially IN Steu0en, he VIII make more

persons, there Is organized opposition to him in
hls party. Indeed, seeing Bradley g friends so san
gulne, the republicans are displaying an activity
which signifies that they intend 70 make Harrow
er's election certain Ihe vote for Senator IN
schuyler county viii be nearly even. On an
important political issue the county is re-
publican, but IN the present case while ir
may give a small majority Tor narrower,
the majority will be less than usual SO the
vote there expected to oe that by common consent
both parties seem TO count schuyler OUT as having
rms county will give four or i've hundred majority
for Bradley so that the contest Is principally con-
nned to the remaining county The republicans OF
Steuben claim majority OF 1000 for narrower, but
It Is more than doubtful that 1t will reach anything
near that number. Last year the republican pa.
Jorlty for Governor was only 76s, and with the
prospect OF lighter general vote this year they
could not reasonably count on larger majority
than tnat for Senator even If their candidate was
personally more popular. AS the matter now
STANDS Bradley has very fair prospect OF success
The odds seem slightly IN favor Of narrower but,
taking all the circumstances and the arguments OF
the democrats into account, Bradleys election does
not seem TO be SO very difficult matter. 4
