Albany, Jan. - (SpccaD.-It is now nearly certain
that ut least one and perhaps two Of the Republican
senators against whom the Democrats began
contests will be Kicked ont of the Senate morrow
Not only have the ind ndent papers and the Repub
ican papers throughout tie state criticised rhe Demo
cratic members IF the Committee on Privileges and
Elections for their in relation to the admission
Of testimony showing that the pnlk-coored ballots
which were returned By The Inspectors OF Election OF
saratoga County were not voted but the Democratic
press rs we'll has taken mp tho and has talked
strongly against the actions OF the Democratic mem
bers Of this committee Tho Democratic leaders in
the senate, therefore, afraid that some OF their
colleagues will not have the courage 10 face their
friends and constituents if the opposition OF the Demo
cratic press IS kept up and if they throw out the Re
publican Senators without giving them a chance to
introduce evidence in their own behalf ON this ac-
count Lieutenant Governor Sheehan and Senator Cantor
have decided that immediate action is necessary TO
insure the throwing out Of the four men whose seats
wanted.
Immediately after the session of the senate this
afternoon, caucu, of the Democratic senators was
held in ths Leu,cnp Governors room. and the CUES
ton Of throwing the senators tomorrow was dis
cusied. 1t wa, learned on the best OF authority tfa'
a majority OF the Democratic senators voted in favor
Of taking that step not later than tomorrow Inc
testimony which far has been taken does not
show anything mt all detrimental to either senator
Derby or senator Donaldson, the contest against
whom have already been taken up. But TINS uocs
not influence either Shcehan or Cantor In the least
They have promised the men who are contcSuhg the
seat, now legally and rightly held by the Republican
