the enactment OF the law for the reorganization and
establishment OF paid fre department system for
the city Of Brooklyn there has been the utmost anxi
ETY. among the political circles Of ex-hremen, who,
having graduated In the school Of active duty under
the olden time fire regime, and having grown TO be
poitcians-or. IN other words, being publicly known
as aspirants to ofice-are again anxious to return
to their "rs love-" since the latter has become one
Of profit and emolument. Caucuses have been held
upon several occasions by the municipal OH.
Gals to whom the power of selecting and
in longs, and states have been made and broken
repeatedly, just as the pressure Increased or de-
creased, pro and con- in favor or against the fayore
which consists Of Mayor Kalbnelsch, Comptroller
Johnson, Street Commissioner Furey, Alderman
Treasurer Sprague, held formal, and II Is believed
final, caucus at noon yesterday. The names OF tue
candidates agreed upon for commissioners are as
follows:-Hugh Mclaughlin, democrat, ex-Alder-
man OF the Second ward, Frederick Massey, demo-
crat, Clerk In District Attorneys ONCE: Anthony
Campbell conservative republican ex-postmaster OF
Brooklyn; Rodney 1hursby, democrat Eastern Dis
trict. The latter named gentleman is q son-in-aw
of Mayor kalbnesch. The original design was TO
appoint the new commission Of equal political bal
ance OF creed, two democrats and two republicans;
but this would not do the majority OF the appointing
Board who claimed that the democracy OF Kings
county were so largely IN the ascendancy that the
representatives OF that party should have prece-
terests OF the minority In the matter This line Of
argument appears TO have prevailed, according TO
what has leaked out from the caucus, as given Ia
the names above cited. The question will be finally
settled and the appointments announced. however,
on Monday or Tuesday next The rules and regula..
tions governing the Brooklyn Fire Department Will
be the same as is now In vogue In New York.
