QUIET, VERY QUIET.
Not Much Interest in Assembly Elee-
tons in New York.

New York, Nov. 5.-After a cam
paign of unusual arathy even for an
off-year. the voters of New York will,
on Tuesday. elect members of the low
er house of the Legislature. certain
county officers and judiciary candi-
dates in various districts. There has
been no general canvass in the state,
but doubtful Assembly districts have
been vigorously eanvassed-by the
Democrats in an effort to hold their
control of the Assembly and by the
Republicans in the hope of winning
back enough of the districts lost last
year of regain their former ascend
ancy in the lower house and thus
take from the Democrats their present
complete political control of the state.
The Senate, now Democratic, holds
over.
Aside from this fight political in
terest has been attracted to the cam
paign in this city for judiciary and
country candidates. Opposed to the
regular Democratic or Tammany tick
ct is set of nominees representing
a fusion of Republicans, some indie
pendent Democrats and the Independ-
ence League, long known as w. X
Hearst's organization. One name is
on the rival tickets, that of Francis
NJ. Scott, candidate for reelection to
the supreme court bench. He has been
endorsed by the various political or
CARNATIONS in New York county. In
the other counties-kings, Queens and
chmond-ineluded within the great
er city there is a similar division OF
parties into regular Democrats and
Fusionists.
The one striking feature of the
campaign has been scandal over jn-
dietary nominations in the Brooklyn
Queens district.
