Albany. Jan. 25.-The Election Committees
OF the Senate and the Assembly are ready to
begin their work OF eIectinR Democrats from
their seats in order that the Republicans shall
have enough votes to pass bills over the Gov.
ernor's veto. The FIRST reports to be ready are
those to unseat Senator McCarty and Assem-
blyman Graham. The Staten Island Assem-
blymun is to como next. and after him the
Troy Senator and Asscmblvmen.
The reports were not made this morning. be-
cnuse another hitch arose. The Brooklyn Re-
publican Senators all stood together In their
demands for better treatment than was ac-
corded to them BY tho Platt leaders. To con-
ci,iate them Senator Saxton resigned the
Craftsmanship Of the Committee on Insurance.
and Senator REYNOLDS was appointed. In
order. however. that the Plat men might not
lose control OF this important committee. Sen
atnr saxton appointed himself as n momher OF
the committee. To all intonts ard purposes
he Is virtually tho Chairman. although scna-
tor REYNOLDS is the nominal Chairman. and
has his name printed first on the Committee
list.
As there are more committees In the Sennte
than there are Republican Senators. Senator
owens thought that he was entitled to the
Chairman ship OF the Committee on Commerce
and Navigation, which was held by his prede-
cessor Senator McCarren. He stood BY Sem
ator Reynolds In his demand for the Chair
manship OF the Committee on Insurance. and
Senator Reynolds Is now standing by Senator
Owens. senator BRADLEY, who WAS elected as
nh indcpendent. became SO Disguised with his
treatment Ivy the Republicans that he has con-
cluded to net with the Democrats no matter
what the Republicans do TO concilihte him.
Tho other Republican Senators drew the line
at giving Senator Owens his Craftsmanship.
Senator Reynolds announced this morning
that he would not vote 10 unseat a single
Democrat unless lie was convinced that the
evidence warranted II. and that the evidence
in the case OF Senator Nice arty was not strong
enough. lie said. further. that he believed
that tho SENATE should act rs a judicial body.
and not as n partisan body. in Determining
election contests. and that the Republican
majority OF the Elections Committee should
hear Senator McCnrty's side before they
made "A report Senator owens took the came
position.
This makes the Senate a tie on the question
OF tho contests, and until the Republicans OF
tho Plat kind get another vote they will not be
able to do the unseating. After the first un-
seating it will be comparatively easy for them
to get their two-thirds majority. for they will
be independent of the brooklyn Republican
