1t May Prevent a Complete Vic
tory for the Democrats I'm New
York.
New YORK, Nov. 4.-The greater In
terest in the elections to be held i'm this
state tomorrow centers in the result of
the balloting for members of the legis-
lature. The Republicans had major
ity in the last legislature of about
forty on join ballot. 1t is their ambi-
tiOn this year to increase it to a two
thirds majority. so that it will be poSsi-
bic to pass measures over the Demo-
cratic governors vetoes. On the other
hand, the Democrats hope to reduce
the Republican majority, and, If posSi-
BILE. wipe it out entirely. 1t, is
possible that they may succeed
in the firstreSpect, but will hardly be
able to effect such change as the Sc
curing of majority would involve;
particularly as the efforts made in New
York city to arrange combination be-
tween the Tammany Ball and County
Democracy organizations on legislative
candidates proved in some eases fail
uTe. The state officers to be chosen are
secretary of state, comptroller, state
treasurer. attorney general, state en-
gineer and Judge of the court of ap-
pealS. AS the state Is considered nat
urally Democratic, and no issues have
arisen To divert votes in large numbers,
there is reason in the claim of the
Democratic leaders that their ticket
will be successful. 1t will be remem-
bered that the New York city repre-
sentatives in the Syracuse convention
opposed the denomination of MeSSrS.
Wemple and Tabor for comptroller and
attorney general respectively. and there
Is a likelihood that these two candidates
may run behind their ticket. Gen.
Knapp. chairman of the Republican
state committee, asserted to-day that
TabOr's and Wemnle'S defeat was GER
tain and that be thought the whole Re-
publican ticket would be elected. In
New York city the preparations for the
election were all completed tonight.
The situation is complicated by the
singular combination which has been
made between the county Democracy
and the Republicans to defeat the Tam
many Hall ticket, and the impression
prevails in some quarters that this will
lead to good deal of trading, and it
has already been charged that
more or less colonization of
voters has been indulged in. In
line with the decision of the supreme
court, that the voter may not visit the
polls twice, or Oftener. IN order to de-
pOSit his full ballot, the police commits
sioners have issued instructions to the
see that no one be permitted to present
his ballots except in the proper form.
BERTRAND is BARRED.
PLATTSBURG, n. Y, Nov. 4.-Hon.
Alex Bertrand, Democratic nominee for
member of assembly from this district.
withdrew from the field to-day. Mr..
Bertrand was, until few weeks ago.
United States consul to st. Johns. His
eligibility was not questioned until to-
day, when it was found that under Sec
ton of Article 8, of the state conStitu.
tiOn. he is disqualified, having held
Office within 100 DAYS previous to the
election. His retirement is a severe
disappointment to the Democrats, who
considered victory assured. 1t is now
too late to make new nomination, and
Mr.. Guibord, the Republican candidate,
will have WalkOyer
