An Alleged Sensation.

1--WE have made a big discovery"
said Chairman Thatcher. There is a
defect in the new constitution, upon
the adoption of which the voters will
be required to pass judgment Nov. 8.
which will create a legislative hiatus
If made"
The burden of the discovery is that
LIE the constitution Is adopted there
will be no Legislature in '95 and the
candidates elected this year will not
meet at Albany next winter. The new
constitution, after making the new ap-
portionment provides for the election
of senators and assemblymen under it
in November, 1895, and then provides
that the constitution, If approved, shall
go into effect January, 1895.
WILL MAKE A GREAT FIGHT.
