Awaiting His ExcciIencv's Decision con.

Attorney who Dared Prosecute the Brook
Iyn Repeaters-Becomina Interesting.
Yesterday was q quiet day with Brookiyn's
Forty Thieves. Boss Mclaughlin and his dirty
gang, feeling confident that they had settled the
case Of the fearless District Attorney Morris, cropt
away into their holes 10 the immense barroomt
which Tester about the City Hall. Several OF hs
managers OF the gang went TO Poughkeepsie to looh
oat for the interests of their tools, the convcted}
canvasscrs, whose to be argued before tho
General Term Of the Supreme Court to-day District
Attorney Morris also went to PouRhkeepsie to bst,b
for the people aud their rights, leaving his eicicu0
assistant, the Hon. Thomas Il. Pearsall, in charpD
OF the once.
THE CONVICT cASvAssERs
who are to appear before the General Term to.dg
are Henry p. Mayo and Mike Hannon. Barney Ma
honey, Justice Buckley, and George Brown, all ab.
ject slaves OF McLaughln appointed 70
miscount the and declare all Ring Democrats In
and Republicans out Mr.. Morris will claim thss
the convictions by the jurics were righteous, snA
they should be approved; while the legal birelngs
OF the Ring will make their best efforts to have ths
judgments reversed aud new trials ordered
INTERESTING FACTS COMING TO LIGHT.
The recent action OF McLaughn's Smelling Com
suited in another investigation by certain outsiders
which shows up a member OF the Board In a rathsr
peculiar manner. The facts elected are about 20
follows: Supervisor Cross, OF the Nineteenth Ward,
h n devoted servant OF the Ring, and a member OF
the Court House Committee OF Boss McLaughfin's
Board. Some time ago Cross, without tho consent
OF the other members OF the Committee, or Of tho
Board, authorized the paving Of the yard of the will
liamsburgl armory with Nicoson pavement, as .
cost Of about 27O0. The bill was rushed through
the Board during the hurry confusion of one OF
tho meetings. and Cross probably thought that moth
ing would ever be said or heard OF u. The invest-
cation into Tic private affairs OF the District Attor
ney, however,
ALARMED cross.
who Though, that perhaps his little lob might be
posed. and that he himself mghtSc held uo to the
light example Of the honesty and integrity OF
McL1ughlin's Ring. To avoid this he went into tho
County Treasurers oice the other day, and paid to
that oficial $3.50 which he said .he Nicolson Pave
ment Company had charged in excess OF the nmcint
sufficient for the work performed. and refunded to
| iim. Tie question now arises Was this $500
Cross's rake in the jobr Mclaughlin and the Ring
| there are few WHO win noi sec that those who
| are eager 10 punish District Attorney Morris for
| wha, they STYLE dishonesty, are perhaps not them
| selves incorruptible.
| FRAUD UNFINISHED.
| Perhaps Mr.. Cross can explain" While this gem
teman stands before the bar OF public opinion there
Is another little matter In which the people will fee
| Interested. Mr.. Cross Is a lumber merchant and
| on several occasions has sold lumber for contract
| work ordered by the Board, all in violation of tho
| law. No member of the Board do this. and no
| member OF the B1ari knows this fact better tlan
| Mr.. Gross. But he IA protected by the Boss, who,
IN return for iavOrs granted required him to vote TO
| iwpeach the District Attorney. Mr.. Cross IL play
| ing his points skil;uIy. He wants. denomination
from the Ring and II is only by strictly obcying
their orders that he can secure 1t. This he has re-
| solved TO do.
| ny ACCIDENT A coon MAN IN OFFICE.
| Mclaughlin Police Dosri were very quiet yes
| terday, making only two appointments. The pgin-
Secretary TO Chief Campbell. Mr.. Crummcy is a
| gentleman very well known Brooklyn. The Com
missioners could not have selected better for
the position from among the Ring politicians. The
now Secretary was formerly Clerk Of the First DIS
trict Court, and at present holds billet In the Ia,
office. OF course, the appointment was made by NC
| L.ugln's order. Eddie knows which side his
bread il buttcred on 80 he Will stick to the Boss as
| long as Tue Boss sticks TO him.
TRAINING THE JAIL BIRDS.
| The sub Committee OF MeLaughlins Ring Demo
| cratic General Committee have designated one man
| from each ward and county town to call meetngs
men are all satellites OF the Boss and will literally
| obey his commands. They will at once organize
| gangs OF repeaters, and have everything In rcadi
| ness To Aeud them forth TO work whom election day
| comes, The people. however expect TO be afforded
protection from these scoundrcls, who will ind thai
mll they cannot retnact the OF the past
few elections, and prostitute the ballot.boxes "a
| suit their own base purposes.
Supervisors Osborne and Kalmyer went 70 Al
bvny yesterday TO lay the charges against District
| Attorney Morris before the Governor Mr. Morris
went By the same train.
