POLITICAL COMPLICATION.
NEW YORK, November 22.-GOv.
Williams death causes a new Sena-
torial complication in Indiana and
threatens to leave the state without a
head, and prevent the election of T.
S. Senator. The law requires that
before either Governor or LieutGev-
ernor can take his seat, two houses
must be organized The Senate is
tic and while Gray was Lieut. Cover
nor he had the casting vote as he
had two years ago, but the death of
Williams leaves tie to be broken by
detection from one side or other
Tho Democrats have determined
heretofore to organize safe and will
cling to their determination. If
each side stands firm the Senate can
not organize, and Without it neither
Governor nor Lieat-GOvernor can
take his seat. At the same time the
constitution erds the office of Acting
Governor on the second Monday of
January. If the Two sides of the
Senate lock horns and remain in that
attitude the state can be kept indef-
nltely without d Governor.
