ALBANY-soME OF THE LUCKY MEN.
Albany. Jan. IL (specia) There are sixty
Democratic members Of the Assembly and OF these
sxty.ve are candidates for the Craftsmanship OF the
Railroad Committee Of that House. On this account
Speaker Bush has barcaded the doors 10 his rooms
in the Delevan House. else the pressure upon him
would be such that II would drive sterner man y
an insane asylum. The only two m,n who are not
candidates for this place the Speaker himself ana
George II. Bush. who has centercd all MS energies
and hopes on capturing the Ways and Means Com
mittee which carries with it the leadership OF tho
majority. The most ardent and enthusiastic candi-
dates for the Railroad Committee are Assembymen
HIT, OF Albany; e. II. p Gould. OF Lewis County
sulzer, of New.York, and Townsend, OF Queens
County.
Townsend was first in the field, and has an al
vantage in this respect as most OF the other cand
dates then Had their eyes TUNED toward the Speaker
ship, and the Ways and Means Committee. If Speaker
Bush were really making up the committees Townsend
would not tonight he IS. for he served
on the committee with Bush last year But previous
service is not considered This year. the committees
are made up solely IN the interest Of David B. Hilrs
political aspirations Townsend Is said, however, 10

upon as the Mecca of the Democratic petitioners for
political plums. If Townsend gets the Railroad Com
mittee HIT will be put back to his last years place

are compelled to pay for the privilege Of keeping
their places open after hours and SUNDAY amounts
to an enormous sum annually, and it goes long way
zach fall in paying Tammanys election expenses
Them too, their votes sought the ground that
II the Democrats got into power the liquor dealers
would get just what they wanted In the line Of
liberal excise legislation. BY liberal" the liquor
men mean Sunday selling, allnight gn-Inls and
ptier provisions equally offensive to the Iawabding
citizens of the State.
Mr. Tekulsky outlined the main features OF the
hill which he said would be introduced in tho
Assembly and the Senate simultaneously some day
next week. To The Tribune correspondent to-day he
said that one thing that would be avoided in this
bill would re the Local option clause. "Ths" ho
added with knowing shake Of his head "1neans
annual elections and they mean expenses" The
Local Opuon. The sunday clause. of course, will
occupy a prominent place in the bin but this year
this provision in the lii will be extended to the
small towns and cities In the state Heretofore The
uquordeaers in the large cities only have been bold
enough TO ask that the doors OF the liquor stores
be opened Sunday, but now under the proposed law
every hamlet would have It's Sunday gin-mill.
OF course little more money Will be PAD INTO
the treasures of the respective towns and cities OF the
State for this privilege; but whether or not uhs

asked for votes last fall on the ground
that he had built Protestant Episcopal
