freely hut no one will imagine that the amount
thus used forms considerable proportion OF
the amount outstanding. In other parts OF the
country gold is rarely seen. while almost every
body knows of amounts which have been
boarded by himself. or his friends or neighbors
This boarding by multitude Of individuals
in small sums ranging nom single com up
to thousands is supplemented by the deliberate
Withdrawal of gold coin or gold certificates IN
large amounts by capitalists who apprehcnd
that at no distant day gold may command a
premium. n they have money idle at all. as
many must have in time when securities arc
not in great favor they naturally prefer TO
lock M a gold certificate in place of other paper
which may become worth only so cents on
the dollar or less. No one will pretend that the
extent Of such boarding is insignificant, though

THE CONTESTED ASSEMBLY SEATS.

If the Democrats Of the Legislature o. this
State had "A large majority on joint bale"
Speaker ~hcchan would nO' have appointed IN"
Committee on Elections a week in advance OF
his appointment OF the forty other standing
committees of the Assembly. II is customary
for the Speaker 10 announce all the sanding
committees al the sumo session. After the
members have been sworn in and the speaker,
Clerk and other officials have been elected Il
recess Of week is taken in order to give the
Speaker ample time f. complete the Or2anlll-
tion by a careful construction Of the committees
through which the business OF the House j.,
largely transacted. But this wear the Demo
cratic Speaker before he YVES we'll warm in his
| seat named the standing Committee on Lice
tOns. The Democrats have - votes III the
Legislature, Is in the Senate and 6S IN the
Assembly the Republicans have ~ votes. 10
in the Senate and 60 in the Assembly. That
il to say the Democrats have just enough votes
to elect a United States Senator. and no more
since a change of one vote would tie the Lcgis-
lature.
Hence the reason Of the Speakers precipi-
fancy in naming the Committee on Elections.
Ii was appointed ont Of the usual course Tor
special purpose, and that dishonest one Gov
ernor Hill, the recognized boss Of the Demo
cratic Assembly has made up his mind 10 have
the cOnteStcdSeat cases disposed Of by series
of snap judgments which will increase the Dom
ocratjc majority on the Joint ballot. OF course
the principle Of fair play is 10 be entirely ig-
nOred. The committee which Spcake: >heehan
named is expected promptly " 60 ahead and
turn out Republican Assemblymen who have
been honestly elected and give their seats 10
conteSting Democrats. The committee was
packed for that purpose. and will not be de
tered from carving out the vianous scheme
on finding that the contestants are relying upon
false pretences. Doubtless il has been represent
ed to the committee BY the unscrupulouS Gov
elnor that the exgency OF the party demands
that they should pay no respect to the Will OF
the people as expressed at the ballot-boY, but
should unseat certain number Of Republican
Assemb ymcn at all hazards. There il war
rant for such an assumption. In letter from
