"where are they going to gain those nineteen votes
Giving them every chance cannot possibly figure up Tor
them gain of fifteen sixteen seats. Mr. Hunt

We shall lose Aliens seat In Queens Coming 10 BrooHyn

think we shall any these tnree districts We
ought Rockafeliows district last year
aud next year think shall have Republican from
it. No | cannot see any gains for the Democrats In
Eew-York; rather losses for them. We have only
