THE UNITED STATES sENATORsHIP.
The most important battle to be fought in the
November election is the contest for che control
Of the Legislature. The state Senators, thirty-two
IN number, remain the same as last year, with the
exception or the Thirty-frst district, where .
vacancy has occurred in consequence or the death
OF Senator Ganson. The Assembly last year
stood:-Republcans, "a; democrats, 54; re-
publican majority, 90. This, with the
present republican majority in the Sem
ate, might insure, on joint ballot, victory for the
republicans II the same districts were carried by
them in this election. Last year they elected SIX
Of their candidates from this city; but many or the
sanguine temperament now only count on captur-
ing TWO OF the districts this year. Outside OF New
York city, then, Will be the great battle ground
as to determining this vital question OF repubt.
can or democratic control OF the Legislature.
