NEW YORK, November 3.-The election
In New York State tomorrow is for Judge

interest centers In the vote for Congressman

The New York delegation in the Fifty-frst
Congress consists Of 10 Republicans and 10

making some gains, but the Republicans
are equally confident that they will hold
their own, if not increase their number.
The State Senate holds over. In this the
Republicans have 19, and the Democrats

Democrats must elect 68 Assemblvmen,
while the Republicans require only 62. In
the last Assembly the Republicans had II

Gratis have been making strenuous efforts to
secure votes enough to elect Senator, there
is little probability that they will succeed.
Much more popular interest attaches to
the vote for municipal officers in New York

test is between the Tammany ticket, headed
by Mayor Grant, and the Peoples NUM-
