WHAT IS BEING DONE IN THE ASSEMBLY DIS
TRIcTs-THE NOMINATIONS FOR ASSEMBLY
AND THE PROSPECTS OF THE CANDIDATES
THE CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT BATTLES.
Although the general election takes place in ten days
to-day, the city politicians, who aspire to the
dignity OF State legislators have not rs yet been able
settle their liie differences IN all tho Assembly
districts The republicans in majority Of the dis
trcts are, usual, hanging back TO see what their
opponents are going to do, with view of proht'ng
handsomely by any blunders the overzcalous local
statesmen of tho other side may make II Is generally
understood that cd effort will be made in all
the uptown districts where last year, through
divisions among tho democrats, repuoiicahs
werc allowed to slip in to unite all the
democratic factions single candidate
The OF the party in these districts
have apparently come to the conclusion that the
Assembly contests can be fought over regardless OF
any coalitions that may be made city and county
candidates II is not very pleasant reflection Tor
these gen,en en- that last year, through their petty
squabolng, the majority of the delegation sen. to
Albany was republican, whereas If better counscs had
prevailed the republicans would not have elected over
four OF the twenty members at the most liberal
calculation. This year, with the democrats united
on one candidate in each district where the
republicans have a large vote, the republicans
will DO very fortunate indeed If they secure throe
members-rom the Seventh, Ninth and Eleventh
although the democrats have already, by their nom-
nation of James Mcconnell in the latter district
given the republicans understand that II thoy want
win they Will have very tough job oft.
THE ASSEMBLY DISTRICTS
In the Ninth district the republicans have put in
the field young man named William II. Corsa. He Is
a weak candidate ana the democrats by acting the
part OF wisdom in putting their best man forward may
succeed in defeating HIM, Notwithstanding tho fact
that the district has been carried by the republican
candidate tor tho past four years "by large |
majority"
In the hrst four Districts OF course, the republicans
have better prospect OF success this fall than they
have had In the past, although the Second aud |
Third districts they may have the satisfaction OF
opponents II James Hayes gets into the race in tho
Third and Denis Burns in the Second against the reg
ular nominees, which now seems probable there Will
be iun for the boys all round In tho Twelfth district
the republicans have acted wisely by dropping their
candidate Of last year and - taxing 81! up

some talk OF cx-Judgc Hogan running as an ndcpen

German organization OF the district. HIS friends
tend that Mr.. Murphys nomination was made through
the influence OF Mr. Morrissey with the sole object OF
defeating the Fox and Hogan interests, which were
actively at work for the nomination of the latter and
that he will pull out before election day. leaving the
