TUE FIGHr FOR SENATORS
Then. too. there Is the election of the state
senators, upon which hinge in large part the
oil Of
state senate is composed OF thiriv-two MEM
bers elected for twoAoars The last senate had
republican majority OF siX, but lt AZ claimed
that this majority wll be reduced on Noyem-
Der s.
There are sixteen districts in the state that
may be regarded N reasonably sure for the re-
publicans and there are ten that are reasonably
sure fer the democrats. The doubtful ones
are the fourth, eighth. twelfth. thirteenth. siN-
teenth and eighteenth. The fourth district
which Is made up % some OF the BROOKLYN
wards, was carried in 1857 by a republican aud
IN 1859 by democrat. the plurality iri tl,, last
election being only Az.
The eighth district. where a warm fight il
now IN progress, Was the scene of the lannon's
contest between senator Lispenard Stewart,
the New lork society leader, aud Charles N.
Turner, the ice man" two wears ago Stew
art won then by the narrow margin of 3O2
votes, but this year he has against Tim a re-
doubtable candidate an the person of Gen
Martin T. MacMaLoa. who was elected 10 the
assembly last year 10y a very large plurality
The contest IN this district will undoubtedly
be very close. Stewart is rich. popular and
has made efficient senator, while Mac
Mahon Is likewise popular. efficient and has
the warm support OF the Grand Army men
The county Democrats have nominated Henry
}. Sprague and the tArce-couered light vail
develop the entire stresgtL Of the two leading
candidates.
The twelfth district has been repeatedly
represented by republican, the well known
William ii. Robertson. eX-coliector Of the port
OF New York. but lac Is not IN the field this year
and the democrats expect 60 wan.
The thirteenth and eighteenth districts are
either republican or democratic by such slight
majorltics that aside from the merits of tine
respective candidates it is practically a toss-up
which way they will CO.
Ii Is about the same In the sixteenth which
however, was represented by a democrat for
the last two years. lie has been renominated
this year and his election is probable, since the
warning OF republican factions make the con-
dltions favorable. 1t wall be seen that even
though the democrats carry all the doubtful
dlstrlcts-a result almost improbable-there
would be a tie IN the senate. But there 10 little
possibility of such outcome and a republi-
can senate is generally conceded by the demo
Gratis Their only hope lies in the election Of
an assembly in ~ SO strongly democratic that
there Will be a democratic majority on ioint
ballot, such as elected David IL. Hlll this year.
