sloner NJ. T. Brennan and Controller Dick Connolly.

Connolly in the time has become fabulonsly
wealthy and refuses to give place. he and Sweeney being
as inseparable samese twins Sweeney the other

coached him in many political race. Brennan Is terri
bly, IN earnest and power not TO be despsed He Is
the head of elan of Irish voters who fear not the
whoop Of the Tammany chiefs. II will be 6 repetition OF
the old fight between Corkonans and the Limerick boys
The Tammany programme reported have been made
out by Chief Sachem Tweed but it has approved by
Sweeney and may be pretty well altered before the con-

however may think that four years IN the Marine
Court will be the better school for his political training
Judge George C. Barrett OF the Common Pleas was un.
fortunate in not allowing Jimmy OBrens pet lambs to
