may the Lord have mercy on New York,

US forget 1t.
New York will not become a respect

the spirit Of the old prophets as to be pre-

The Republicans get three representatives

The Republican claim that the Democrats
also elected members of the Legislature on

ties in the state that gave less than 100
plurality each for their candidates for the
legislature. and that the Democrats se-
cured as many members on these small plu-
ralities as the Republicans. Both sides are
