Evening star., 1898-11-07

| ship is to be elected.
The present senate consists OF thirly-6ve
republicans, fourteen democrats and one
| independent republican. This gives re-
| publican majority of twenty. This major
I ity the democrats expect. and the republi-
| cans practically con >ede, will he reduced.
I The democrats do not expect to overcome
/ 1t entirely forzthe reason that majc~ ty
! or the senators come from the country dis
| tricts. and democratic gains this year In
| city against country fignt will naturally be
| confined to the large cities.
| The present assembly Or lower house con-
|, sssts- of lsexentv-nne republicans. two indie
| pendent republicans. Si&ty-eight democrats
and one national democrat. This gives the
republicans a majority pf eighI. The demo-
Gratis are strainng every nerve to capture
the assembly. There are conservative poll
ttcians. however, who insist that. while the
| republican majority IN the senate may I've
decreased. the republican ma iority in the
assembly will not be TnatArialiv altered If
! 1T does mot show a republican gain. The
| republicans claim a ma inri.y Of about four
/ in the senate, and not loss than eight In
the assembly, majority OF twelve on joint
! In the event of a democratic majority on
JOINT ballot II is expected that Senator Muir
phy will be elected to succeed himself. In
THIS connection Il is well to saw that there
| has been. considerable inside eossip to
1he effect that former Senator David Il
ftlll Is not loyal to Senator Murphy. and
that in case a democrat is to be selected
10 succeed Murphy, certain Hill men from
up the state will refuse TO participate in
| the democratic csucuses. This would give
| them balance of power. and would allow
them to name Hill or some democrat friend
| ly to him.
Perhaps the most prominent candidate for
the senatorship the republican side is
Chauncey NJ. Depew. Joseph Choate Is be-
| iieved by some to be entitled to the nomina-
non on account of his brilliant fight at the
| head of the Bar Association for the re-elec-
| ton OF Judge Daily. Representative Bel
den. j. Sloat FasSett and Editor Butler of
Buffalo have also been mentioned in case
| the senatorship goes to some other section
of the state.

In the congressional campaign at least
seven districts may be fairly said to be in
doubt. These are the second (Brooklyn),
sixth tBrooklyn) fifteenth 0Harlem). six
teenth tN estchester1, nineteenth tTroy1,
twentieth tAlbany) and thirty-second (Buf-
falo). 1t is claimed that in every one of
these districts the chances favor the re-
publicans. The only other district classed
as republican in which there Is doubt is
Qugg's district. the fourteenth. Calling
the fourteenth republican, the republican
delega ton in the next House. it is claimed.
will certainly consist of twenty members.
The districts which will return democrats,
unless the unexpected happens, are the
seventh, eighth, ninth, tenth. eleventh.
twelfth and thirteenth. This leaves a sure
democratic gain of one in the next New
York delegation, with, of course, a chance
of making inroads in the list of seven class
ed as doubtful.
Granting that the democrats capture all
of these doubtful districts, it is still evil
dent that a majority of the delegation will
be for sound money, the representatives
from New York state in that event stand
ing: Republicans. 20; democrats, a.

The legislature to be elected this fall win
choose a successor to Senator Stewart.
The state is regarded as committed to a
