HIATUS IN THE LEGISLATURE.

Chairman Thatcher. There is "A defect in
the new constitution upon the adoption of
which the voters will be required to pass
Judgment Nov. 6, which will create a legis-
IatIve hiatus If adopt ed"
The burden of the discovery is that if the
constitution l. adop' ed there will be no
Legislature IN 95 and the candidates elected
this year Will not meet at Albany next
winter. The new constitution, after max
ing the new apportioument provides for
the election of senators and assemblymen
under it in November, 1895. and then pro-
yiGes that the constitution. approved.
shall go into effect Jan. l, 1895.
