II seemed Ike legislative days at Murray Hin
Hotel yesterday. A small coterie OF State pc.I-
ticians we're there almost all day. and II reminded
one strongly Of last winter. when every SATURDAY
night a strong delegation OF State Senators and
Assen,tlymen could be found at this hotel The
reaaon OF the gathering was the meeting OF the
Joint Committee Of the Senate and the Assembly
which Is to go TO the Exposition In Atlanta next
month The committee consists OF Senators staple
ton. OConnor. Higgins and cantor hssemoymen
Gardiner. Ainsworth Fish and Sianchheld. ana
rdar,enant-G Governor Saxton. There were no ABB
sen.ecs. The meeting brief. so far as busi-
,ass was concerned Senator Higgins and Assem-
bIvman Stanchned were appointed suo-cofnmit%

The committee will leave here Immediately At'er
the State conventions have been held
Ideutenant-Governor Saxton talked freely about
the political situation In the state. when ne was
a.ked about his opinion OF the outlook for Hepuo-
ucan victory Mr.. Saxton came out some time ago
in an interview attacking Senator John names VINO
was a candidate for denomination lie suoss-
ouently met Senator Raines face to race ana re-
heated the remarks which had been attributed 10
him in print He said in referring to the situation
here:
"a union ticket 49, think the on.y logical solu-
ton OF the problem. II naturally follows that one
should be nominated. The Republicans won last
fall with such a ticket and the same line should be
followed out now. Tho same forces ana powers
that nominated union ticket last fall are still in
operatlon and they should follow the polcy mapped
out While Mayor Strong has perhaps made many
rnIstakes some OF which to be deplored, yet on
the whole his efforts have been honest ana ne mas
done the best that he to give the city an honest
and economical government
Referring 10 Senator Ranes and the night that
tyhau he eI
himself as a candidate for the denomination Lieu
tenant Governor Saxton said;
Senator Raines will undoubtedly be renomlnaied
AZ the delega les named show An unusually large
number OF Republicans declare that they VIII not
supuort him. but ne will doubtless be reelected Jfst
the same. The fight against him was begun TOO
late.
"As far as Senator Coggeshsll Is concerned he
is practically out Of 1t. Oneida turned him down
and his stump candidacy Is not likely to cut any
figure All the votes he VIII draw VIII De qfin-
cipally from the labor organizations, with whom ne
Is affiliated. In this way the vote VIII De ABOUT

side vii! suffer to any great extent from his can

1.-The outlook in the State is excellent. We shall
win all around by good majority. With no doubt
as 10 the State ticket, and with the practical assur-
ance of Legislature Republican by good major-
ties In both branches 1t seems to me foolish for
dsappontments to cause them to bolt the party.
Senator OConnor. when asked about the story
that the Democrats and Republicans In Broome
County affiliated 10 such extent that govern
ment by "bcss" was possible. said:
Perhaps they do affiliate. but II they do 1t IS only
so that the Republicans can show the Democrats
the error OF their ways. We have no rows IN my
county We have a great number OF Good Govern
mcnt clubs and so on. but they do not really hsuFe
TO any great extent In the elections
Mr. O'Connor feels easy in his mind, as ne reels
sure OF denomination and reelection he Goes

Senator Higgins looked happy ana said ntHe:

The opinion OF all the State Senator'S was that
Coggeshall had come to the jumping-on place oe"-
II think that Mr. Coggeshall will be defeated by
Mr.. Weaver with the greatest ease Qnelaa u =, a
queer county II Coggeshau runs Independently

will have chance. go
