"We have made big discovery" said
Chairman Thatcher. "There is defect
in the new constitution upon the sdop-

to pass Judgment November 9th, which
will create a legislative histun if made"
The burden OF the discovery is that il
the constitution il adopted there will be
no Legislature in '95, and the candidates
elected this year will not meet at Al
bany next winter. The new constitu-
tion. after making the new apportion-
ment, provides for the election uf SEM
ators and assem bly1nen under it in No

the constitution, If approved, shall 90
