Throwing thea aside for the present, let
BE look at the matter on the basis Of what
is assumed. I think 1 have shown the
reasons for the faith that is in rae that
there are 40 undisputed Democratic votes
in joint caucus and 81 undisputed Repub-
lieAn votes. OF the 40 undisputed Demo-
cratic votes, 8 are Senatorial votes; the re-
manning 81 are House votes. The thirty
enc make majority of the 60 members
constituting the Assembly. This is an i'm
portant fact, ssfeE tho reason that, whatever
the courts May do, the defeated party will
fnally invoke the exercise by the two
ahanknrs of their oonstitntioAal prerogat-
i've to determine the rsturn and election of
heir respective rhAnbers. Each house
nney say, without regard to tho courts or
the Beard Of Csa vnasezs, whega Of two
contcstants may have ssAss within it; and
il is beyond coajectsEe Faas neither side
will surrender till this fnal appeal to the
Legislature itself chall have lean made and
decided There can be no room
for contest for scots in the Senate.
The three places in controversy are in the
