ALBANY, n. Y, April 1O.-One Of the
this city was followed tonight by almost
pandemonium on the streets when the re-
turns showed that the Democratic ticket
had been DEBATED by a big majority in fa-
of the pure election party, composed
of Democrats and Republicans. The battle
of the day was between the Democratic
organization here, led by ID. Cady Herrick,
a supporter of Mr.. Cleveland, on the side
Of James w. Rooney, its candidate for
Mayor, and the honest elections party, COM
posed of Republicans and Hill Democrats.
supporting a combination ticket composed
of members of both parties The result to-
night is that the party that has controlled
the city government for fifteen years must
leave the offices. The organization party
last fall gave a majority for the Demo-
cratic nominee for Secretary of State of
$3.50. while tonight it gave more than that
majority on the other side. Orin E. VIII

Will be seven Republicans. five honest cleo
tion men, five organization Democrats, be-
sides the two aldermen at large above
mentioned. The board of supervisors (city

members and six organization Democrats.
The board of supervisors is undoubtedly
Republican, as the country towns yet to
be heard from are usually Republican.

of six aldermen. This is the first time in
twenty-eight years the town has gone so

Promptly at o'clock the court was called
to order. The court room was crowded
The defendants in the case, Francis a.
Coffin, Percival b. Coffin and Albert S.

minutes before the court was convened and
had taken seats. Beside them sat their at

H. H. Miller and later Ferd Winter came in
and took a seat with the other counsel.
Seated at another table was the counsel for
the government, District Attorney Burke,

over the accounts of the bank and to whose
labors the indictments are due.
After the court had been formally con-

fense, arose and entered a motion for a
separate trial for each of the three de-
PENDANTS, who were jointly indicted for aid

He spoke briefly upon his motion, and was
followed by w. II. II. Miller. Neither of
them intimated that they did not believe
all of the defendants could have a fair and
impartial trial if tried jointly.
In ruling upon the motion Judge Baker
said every criminal O11SnSe was IN a way
