WHAT IS BEING DONE IN THE ASSEMBLY DIS
TRIcrs--rHE NOMINATIONS FOR ASSEMBLY
AND THE PROSPECTS OF THE CANDIDATES
THE CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT BATTLES.
Although tho general election takes place in days
from to-day, the city politicians, who aspire to the
dignity OF State legislators have not rs yet been able
to settle their ltc differences in all tho Assembly
districts The republicans In q majority Of the dis
trcts are. as usual hanging back TO see what their
opponents are going to do, with view of prontng
handsomely by any bunders that The overzcaous local
OF the other side may make. It generally
understood that ned effort Will be MADE in all
the uptown districts where last year, through
divisions among tho democrats, republicans
allowed to slip In, to unite all the
democratic factions on single candidate
Tho wsc men OF the party in these districts
havc apparently come TO the conclusion that the
Assembly contests be fought over regardless OF
any coalitions that may be made city and county
candidates 1t is not very pleasant reflection for
these geneme that last year, through their petty
sqnabhlng, the majority Of the delegation sent to
Albany was republican, whereas # better counses had
prevailed the republicans would have elected over
four or the twcnty-one members at the most liberal
calculation. This year, with the democrats united
on one candidate in each district where the
republicans have large vote the republicans
Will DO very fortunate indeed If they secure throe
members-irom tho Seventh. Ninth and Eleventh
although tho democrats have already, by their NOM
inaion OF James Mcconnell in the latter district,
given the republicans understand that II thcy
10 win they will have very tough job ofit
THE ASSEMBLY DISTRICTS.
In the Ninth district the republicans have put In
the field young man named William II. Corsa. He Is
u weak candidate, and the democrats by acting the
part Of wisdom in putting their best man forward may
succeed in defeating HIM, Notwithstanding tho fact
the district has been carried by the republican
candidate Tor tho past four years "by large
majority"
In the nrst four districts, OF course the republicans
have better prospec. OF success this fall than they
have had In the past, although In the Second aud
Third districts they may have the satisfaction OF
knowing that Tammany will have to light democratic
opponents II James Hayes gets into the In tho

democrats this district have tho remarkable faculty
OF always putting in nomination for the Assembly
some person or whom the voters have scarcely ever

be exception TO the rule. The nominations by the
republicans OF William I. Graf IN tho Seventeenth

been aside because Of the bold stand he took for

hard one; both gentlemen are very popular and the
man who wins Will be pretty certain 10 havo very
small majority. In the Eighteenth district the demo-
Gratis have reuominated Stephen J. O'Hare who went
through the last session OF the Legislature without
committing single blUnder but one, and that was IN

trct, who WILL doubt usual, play into yho hands
OF the republicans TO help elect their candidate. Tho
democrats OF the district, however, are not SO easily
hoodwinked by the bargain and sale policy they
used DO, and SO 1t is highly probable that Mr. &
lin Whoever tho republican candidate may be will
come greet as he did last year. despite the deal made
by Mr.. O'Bricu.
