Rochester y. Y. Nov. 2.-Senator Edward
Murphy. jr.. for some time. as a candidate for
collection as United States Senator, has been
urctnC the Democratic politicians TO take pains
., Western New-York to win away from the Re
nubncan party the XLIVth and XLVth Senate
d,stricts These districts are contiguous. the
y1.Ivth being part Of Monroe County and the
XIVth situated directly to the westward OF II,
and containing within its boundaries the coun-
,,es Of Orleans. Niagara and Genesee. The dis
,r,cts extend from the Genesec River 10 the
NIAGARA River. and are bounded on the north by
Lake ontario.
But they are diverse in character, the XLlNth'
containing as 1t does half the city Of Rochester
being affected by the ideas Of city voters while
,he XI,Vth, although it contains the small cities
q. Lockport Niagara Falls and North Tona-
wanda has voting population mainly COM
posed OF farmers Moreover. the Republican
majority in the XLIvth District is not so large
&C I, Is IN the XLVth District. and therefore
fercer Democratic attack is being made upon 1t
,han upon the latter district In 1890 Henry
HARRISON. the present Republican Senator from
the XIIVth District. had 91ll votes 10 '34S
cast for Mr. Wiltsie his Democratic opponent,
NJ a Republican plurality Of 49,. on the
o,her hand. Senator Ellsworth. Republican. In
ths XLVth District received 14,"2l votes TO
abs cast for Mr.. Miller. his Democratic OPP
Moment and therefore had plurality OF 4'oN'-
WHERE REPUBLICANISM is INTENSE.
Very few Of the Republican Senator'S in the
State had larger plurality than Senator Ellis
worth and moreover. especially in the counties
Of Orleans and Genesee. there is intense Repub-
ljcan feeling In 1891. for instance. when the
Republican party poed a small vote IN the
rural parts Of the State owing to the big rain
storm. Assemblyman Ellis Republican. received
40 plurality in Genesee County. In orleans
County owing TO some Republican dissension'
the Republican plurality was smaller. nut the
Republican party had nevertheless elected us
Assemblymen. TWO Democratic Assemnlymeh
were elected in Niagara County, but by plurah-
ties Of 50 and 121. respectively. Upon the AS
sembly vote the Republican party had IN this
Myth District in all 800 plurality. ana with
the greater interest taken in the Governorship
election over that for Judge of the Court Of APP
ueals II ought 70 do much better. coroner
Roosevelt will certainly receive a far greater
plurality than that: the only doubt is about the
vote Of Senator Ellsworth. who has been re-
nominated the Democratic attack being con-
Centrated upon him.
Senator Ellsworth is aware that he Is IN oan-
ger NJ defeat unless he works hard 10 prevent
