Thacher. There is a defect in the new
constitution on the adoption of which
the voters will be required to pass judg-
ment Nov. 6, which will create a legisla-
tive hiatus If adopted. The discovery was
made by Henry T. Utley, a lawyer of
Waterville, N. Y. The burden of the dis
covery is that If the constitution Is
adopted there will be no legislature in
1885, and the candidates elected this year
will not meet at Albany next winter The
new constitution, after making the new
apportionment, provides for the cleo
tion of senators and assemblymen under
IL in November, 1895, and then provides
that the constitution. if approved shall 20
