NEW YORK, Nov 2.-The election in New
York to-day is for judge of the court Of ap-
peals, members Of the legislature and "a Con-
gressmen. The nominees for the judgeship are
Judge Charles Daniels, OF Buffalo, republican;
Rufus w. Peckham, Of Albany, democrat, and
between the two first named, almost nothing
having been heard OF the prohibitionist candi-
date. There has been little campaign work
recognized as eminently worthy of the position,
but it is believed that Judge Daniels who has
long long been prominent on the supreme court
bench, Will attract many democratic votes.
The World has practically supported him,
mainly because 1t considers Peckham an anti
Hill nomination. The vote for Judge will be
compared with the gubernatorial vote of last
year. The state will vote also upon the question
whether convention for revising the consti-
cast at the election is required for an affirma-
will be obtained, as both parties favor
the election of the 12S members of the Assem-.
bly,, as the next legislature will elect successor
to Senator Miller. Both parties are making
have a decided advantage. The senate OF 32
members, which holds over, has a republican
majority OF 8. The democrats, Therefore, must
elect 80 Assem- blymen to control the United
States senatOrship the republicans need only
81. The last legislature consisted of 7S repub-
licans and SO democrats. Senator Miller, who
desires reelection, has taken active part in
the assembly campaign.
In the congressional elections 1t is believed
that the parties will about hold their own,
though the result in several districts is con-
sid red doubtful. Each party now has Seven-
teen representatives. Worthy OF note is the
nomination by the democrats of William
Bourke Cochran in the twelfth district and of
Gen. b. +. Spinola in the tenth. Both men are
uncomprOmising in their hostility TO civil SER
vice reform and to President Cleveland. I'M he
eighth district T. F. Ray, who bitterly opposed
Cleveland at the Chicago convention, and after
wards espOused the Butler cause, is running as
all independent democrat against Tim Camp
bell, who has the regular democratic nomina-
tion and has been endorsed by the republicans.
s. $. Cox will be elected in the ninth. In the
thirtieth district (kochester) the democrats
have nominated Theo Bacon who was a repub-
lican until 1884. 1t is claimed that there will
be close contest between him and c. 5. Baker,
the present republican member.
The prOhibitiOnistS have made nominations
in nearly every congressional district, but it Is
not believed that any man on their ticket will
be elected.
In New York city interest in the mayoralty
contest overshadows all others. The regislra-
being within 5000 of that of 1854. The labor
organizations were first in the field, and nomi-
mated Henry George. His nomination was
indOrsed by the Irving Hall democrats, and
many social reformers, preachers and enthusi-
asts hocked TO his standard. They were joined
by all the socialists, communists and anarchists
in the city, who hailed Georges candidacy as q
great step forward in the leveiing propaganda.
The George movement seemed TO be making
great headway, wnen. to the surprise OF the
entire community, the Tammany democrats
nominated the Hon. Abram s. Hewitt, who has
represented the 10th district in Congress for
many years. This nomination was seconded by
The County democracy, and an aggressive cam.
paign was at once inaugurated. Finally the
rel ublicans made their nomination. their
choice falling upon TheO. Roosevelt, a wealthy
young man, who distinguished himself in his
three years service In the state legislature by
active efforts and great success in reforming
i0ng-standlng abuses in The government of New
.Il>lV ~ n h.lf
Henry George VIII be elected, but he may
receive votes enough to make the contest close
between the other candidates. It is thought
that his votes will be drawn principally from
the democrats. Both the democrats and repub-
llcanS arc confident OF success. The probapil-
tiles, however, appear TO be in favor ot hewitt g
election. Of the mugwump papers, the Post
Aas vigorously supported Hewitt while the
Times has just rs vigorously worked for RO0se-
welt.
Considerable interest attaches to the contest
IN Brooklyn Tor district attorney. The Eagte has
boiLed Kidgeway, the Regular democratic NOM
inee, because he has tailed to prosecute the
pooi-selers, and has pronounced In favor OF
Gen. b. +. Tracy, the republican candidate,
VINO promises, II elected, to enforce rigidly the
law against gambling.
