Albany. Sept. 28.?WhOB the Blath

would be reaehed to-morrow at noon
on the question of excluding from tho
eight articks of impeachment filed bv
the Assemblv against Goycrnor Sulzer
the first. second and eighth. which have
to do wlth acts commltted before h*
assumed office and which. for that rea
son, his counsel contend. should not be
included.
A motion to slriko oal these articlea
was made at the opening of the sesslon
by the Governor's COUBBOlj and tlie day
was ronsumed in arguments which are
not ended Thcse arttclea contain the
.harges that the i;overnor flled a false
statement of campaign contrtbutio-.*;
and made use of the funds to speculate.
ln Wall Street.
The desp.rat'.tn with which counael

tlon showed : ow vital they decncd ;f.
Again and again tha lavyors d.?

of power." puttlng in: logal phras*
the cry of Govemor Sulzer hlmself that
Ihe impeachment waa merely a roltlcal'
weapon wielded ngainst him by Mur
phy and Tammany Hall.

the arguments of Kdsrar 1. Brackett.

Counsel for the Assembly B<>ard of
Impea. hment mananers BBg they have
no fear. though. that e-.ther this line of
argument or the pureh legal conten
tions aill oonvince the court when it
\otes on the question that the perjurv
and theft .harges should be atricken
out. Thev are so conrtdent that Gov?
ernor Sulzer must stand trial on the
impeachment charges as they now are
that they bava arranged th.ir list of

that prior to the formal decision "there
