HEAVY VOTING EVERYWHERE
A fact which is OF advantage to each party is
that there is an extremely heavy vote being
poled this forenoon. From Rochester, Buff

In New York city the vote already registers

been sent out by each party. Despite

still opportunity for corruption on a large

THE LEGISLATURE.
In all probability the legislature will be re-
publican on joint ballot. The assembly will be
republican and though there will be democratic
gains in the senate that body will
doubtless continue to have a republican
majority 1t is true that forecast
OF the political complexion of the legislature
must necessarily he somewhat misty, but
the conditions do not indicate now in
any degree that the democratic gain in the
legislature will be very large. The assembly
was democratic last year, but it was the first
time since 1888, and under the present appor-
tionment it is practically impossible to secure
democratic Legislature in q gubernatorial
year.
