Democratic and Republican parties. have.
on the other hand. asserted that the
upheaval was the result more OF In
dustrial disturbances than any other in
huence. Yet the Republican politicians
have continued to boast OF their dolnGs dur
ing the campaign. The only cloud that has
been over them was the fact that Gov. Roswell

check on unfair and partisan legislation.
How TO get over Gov. Flowers presence has
been the problem.
The information from the best sources has
been to the effect that the Republicans would
.ndeayor to throw out enough Democratic
Assemblymen to give them a two thirds vote
with which to override the Governors veto.
The programme OF these political Capt. Kidds
has been known all along. and the audacity Of
the scheme has been saualled only by the
hypocrItical pretence that the majority at
Albany would take no steps to unsent any
richtfully elected Democrat They have
neglected to say. however that the majority
had the power to do about as they please on
this matter
The Democrats in this part OF the State were,
therefore not at all surprised to read In yes
terday mornings newspapers that notices Of
fourteen contests had been filed In the AS
seulby chamber the afternoon before. This
would give the Republicans two more than
enough for a two-thirds majority. Neither

Malby. contrary to precedent. appoint
Cd the Committee on Elections. 1t is
understood that Mr.. Malbys committee
will be in town In day or 80 and
that similar committee from the Senate will
also begin operations at once. Speaker Nal
bys conduct demonstrates that he under
stands the Republican programme as outlined
for him. II was made clear yesterday that the
Democrats are also aware of what is going on.
