Albany June 24-Although 1t is the month OF |
June and Election Day in November seems far
distant good many negotiations are in progress |
in relation the nominations for Congress- ana
in several of the districts IN the Interior Of the
State the nominations have already practically been
made

election arc as apprchensive of tho results Of a
vote as a small boy is Of cold bath in midwinter.
/ The New-York Congress delegation elected in 1882
consisted of fourteen Republicans and twenty Dem
ocrats But it was chosen In a year when the
Democratic candidate for President received 5000
/ plurality in Ncw-York state and moreover was
elected according to the lines OF a Democratic
| Congressional Apportionment law which had many
of the marks of a gerrymander.
But the tide has turned Last winter in New
/ York Iemuel f. Quigg Republican, elected in
"A formerly strong Democratic district, and an
other Republican candidate for Congress in an
adjoining district the day greatly reduced the
/ Democratic vote. The Congress districts, through
Mr.. Quiggs victory now have only nineteen Dem
ocrats and there are fifteen Republicans. Despite
the gerrymanler. which puts the Republican party
at a great Disadvantage, It may be predicted that
the figures Of the election Of 1892 will be reversed
and that there will be twenty Republicans and
| fourteen Democrats from New-YOrk in the Congress
