saying that as the Democrats will have a
RaJority of the seats in the Assembly at
the Organization, they will admit enough of
Democratic CONTESTANTS at least to give
them q majority on joint ballot.
But the way is not clear to that point.
1t is tue cuRtom for the clerk of the pre-
ceding Assembly to mako up the roll of
mem bershipNof each iAceming House, and
to preside over the deliberations prelim-
mary to the organization. Suppose &c
titious contest il gotten up by the Rspub-
licRns against ono of tho thirty-one Dem
ocrats who should come hero with I'M
tainted titles And suppose the clerk re-
fuses to enroll the Democrat whose place
is thus contested suppose farther that he
recognizes the Republican contestant, and
so creates Republican majority to admit
Republican Assemblymen from doubtful
districts The courts may snjsin and man
damHs him; but, as the courts and
the Legislature ere coordinate,
they can't eDjoiA TIE Legislative frsm
elsetiRg another agent to supervise the
business Of organization. The upshot
might be the lose of the majority n the
opsEing, and the inevitable less OF the
URitsd Bt<tes Senator or the Democratic

II has not escaped the observation of the
