TORY THIS FALL.
Danforth 9 Ainsworth. OF Sandy Creek Oswego
County and Mrs. Ainsworth guests at the
Park Avenue Hotel last week. The Republican
leader of the Assembly in excellent spirits
the prospect Of six weeks trip abroad on which he
started on Wednesday. and he talked freely State
topics TO a Tribune reporter Relative TO the story
that number OF prominent Buffalo people had pre-
vailed on MIN TO change his home in he immediate
future from the Oswego County hamlet 10 Buffalo,
he said emphatcai,y that he did no. intend to
change.
"wn the Republicans win the next Assembly. ana
where will they win and lose members" he was
asked.
THE Republicans will have the next House be-
yond any question" said Mr.. Answorth. "Tney
will probably lose few Assemblymen in Brooklyn.
but they must gain at least two in the city Of New
York. Albany Will very likely give solid Republ-
can delegation. ! look to Erie County to do as
well next fall as she did last in Assembly districts
Aside from these changes. cannot see where We
'Jiow did the Huckleberry Railroad bill escape
your scrutiny and that OF the other leaders,
THE Huckleberry bill. when introduced in the
1851. which antedated the granting Of the Huckle
berry charter by upward of twenty years II
anything 10 do with that particular road. 1t was
held back until the rush Of the last days, and
then amendment was offered by Mr.. Sulzer
whose character probably stood sponsor for 1t
more than its wording and in that way e slipped
through. It's passage the only instance where
the Legislature slipped cog during the whole
session"
What ought the Constitutional Convention to
dor
at ought to provide a uniform charter for
cities having certain number Of inhabitants.
II ought TO prohibit amendments to this charter
IN any way except by absolute repeal crea tion
of new provisions. Ii ought to prohibit and make
impossible gerrymander OF the State: IL ought
10 make provision for new method of apportion-
ment IL ought to provide for a minority repre-
for the work OF the Court OF Appeals. and then
adjourn by the middle of July and go home"
How is the situation in this city regarded by
Republicans in the State?"
1.-THE only thing care about in the interior
of the State is results. II doesn't make any differ
do expect thing. and that Is that when
Election Day comes around the Republicans OF
New-York City will be found at the polls with
straight Republican ballots In their hands. II
doesn't make much difference whom the Democrats
nominate for Governor. The Republican candidate
will be elected by 5000 majority. l see that Mr.
Whitney is talked of. MIR. Whitney is too big a
man for Mr.. Hill to own and II Mr.. Hill couldn {
own him there would be a frst-cass Mugwuinp
funeral on Election Day. and the tears the Tam
many Tiger would shed would be Of the crocodile
variety
