WIN They Remnln Amnr9

ALBANY, Dec. 31.-Will the Republican
senators prevent organization by keeping
away from the senate chamber Monday
This is the question which agitates poll
ticians It is stated positively that such
course has been decided upon. There are
sixteen Democrats and fifteen Republican
members, counting Edwards who though
elected as an Independent win act with the
Republicans 1t requires seventeen mem
bers to organize 1t is said that the lieuten-
ant governor win hold that as chairman he
is included in the number necessary TO a
quorum. In this case he would have enough
members to organize, even if the opposition
staid away. 1t is said that Edwards, while
signifying his intention to net with the Re
pubhcans on matters OF legislation, has de-
clined 10 BE- party to any scheme to pre-
vent the organization Of the senate.
A Democratic Address.
The Democratic leaders are sure they will
have no trouble ia effecting an organization.
The state committee, in its address issued
ito the people" last night, says:
Democratic officials by the result Of the late
elections, will, after Jan. !, continue to fil
every state office, A Democratic majority,
greater than has been witnessed in many years
before will exist in the assembly. A majority
Of the senators now holding certificates Of cleo
ton are Democratic beyond question, and suff-
cient in number to secure the organization Of
the senate and passage Of every measure for
which the people have long waited, and which
have been repeatedly promised by the Do
cratic party upon its regaining the control Of
the legislative branch Of the state government
This address is a very congratulatory mes
sage to the party and its leaders, and espe-
| cially Governor Hill, of whom it says:
These achievements Of the party are not
more important than Is the vindication = hich
they afford Of its course and its leadership dur
ing the memorable contest for the.s islative
control which has just ended. No single act Of
the Democratic executive during tue pendency
Of that contest has failed Of app roval. For
such yindication he could well afford to wait
in patience and leave unanswered the maleyo
/ leuce Of ahostile and partisan press.
As 10 the programme now, the address
says chief among the measures which the
people expect from a Democratic Legislature
are an enumeration Of the inhabitants Of
the state and apportionment Of Legislative
representation based thereon, and a con
| gressional apportionment.
