Albany, Aug 23.-Many Of the delegates to the state
conventions which will he held in the coming three
weeks by the Republican. Democratic ana PfomDuoh
parties will be elected the present week The same
conventions that choose these delegates viii IN many
cases nominate candidates for seats in the legislature
Already vast amount Of canvassng has been done DIV
the candidates Senator and Assembyman. and II Is
obvious in many districts who will be the successiu
candidate.
Emboldeped nv their success in electing Assembly
last year. the Democratic leaders are now MAKING
preparatIons TO capture both branches OF the Legs
ature and are therefore taking unusual pains In the
selection Of their candidates. With the big parre Oh
money possessed by Roswell p Flower their prospec
tive candidate for Governor, they hope they can hot
only elect their state ticket but also the State Legs
lature With the Legislature having Democratic ma
iority in both branches, and with Democratic Gov
ernor in the Executive Chamber 1t can be predicteo
that there would be some law-makng OF an exuaor-
binary nature. One measure which would certai'y

bill ON which could based month or 50 LATER such
redivison of the Senate and Assembly districts as 10

Senator in 1893 Edward Murphy, jr, OF Troy, the
chairman Of The Democratic State Committee is saio
already TO be candidate for Senator
The present state Senate has as Its members nine
teen Republjcans and thirteen Democrats. and the
presept Assembly its members sixtynin Demo
Gratis and fifty nine Republicans which gives the Demo
cratic party majority of four votes upon joint oaiot'
But every politician knows that the Democratic ma
tority in tho Assembly was an accidental one winch
was not based upon the actual strength OF the Demo-
cratic party in the legislative districts. The Demo
cratic party had not previously had majority since
1883 and probably Will not have another in eight years
more The Republican party lost the Assembly moro

ouence of the strength Of the Democratic party D"V
those dssensions in the Republican party are now
over and with union among Republican voters there
Is certainty Of their recovering the Assembly ana rc
tanning control of the Senate. AS stated. the canal
dates for the Senate and the Assembly are already hard
at work seeking the support Of the delegates 10 1n'

In the LIST Senate District Suffolk and Queens
counties. now represented by a Democrat, Edward
Hawkins of suffolk County, the prominent Democratic
candidates are Edward Floyd Jones, OF oyster Bay

District the Democrats intend to rcnominate Senator
McCarren. Two years ago the district was repre-
sented by Senator WORTH Republican; and also by
the same man two years previously. The Republi-
cans believe that the district can be regained.

be renominated by TsmmaDy Hall In the With District,
and In that case he Will be reelected senator Ahearn
of tho With District, County Democracy Democrat,

doubtful however, II they viii acQuiesce In his re-
nomination by the County Democracy. Assemblyman
Roche, OF Tammany Hail. is seeking nomination In
this district Senator Roesch, Tammany Hall Demo
crat Of course desires a reorganization in the With
District but ii looks that if Alfred Seokler and his
Democratic brothers would organize strong opposition
TO him. II is probable that owing to this conflict
