like most American cities, Is favored with q
sring.n II is an exceedingly small and select
ring, and, therefore, the profits to each mem
ber Individually are larger than those re:
celved by the members of the big rings ol
New York and Philadelphia. The king pin Of
the Brooklyn machine is Mr.. Kingsley. 1t Is
under his supervision that the great bridge
across the river and the new Ridgewood 'reser.
voir are building. Envlous people, outside the
ring; say he will clear o couple of millions by
all the contracts for public work on his hands.
Among the other prominent members of the
Brooklyn Ring are Demas Barnes, The patent
medicine king, an ex:Gongresspan and
millionaire; Tom Kinsella, Congressman, mil.
lionaire and editor of the Eagle. the ring
organ; Isaac Van Anden, business manager Of
the Eagle, once poor compostor, now worth
three-Quarters Of million, and hopes to dou-
BILE 1t; "Boss' Mclaughlin, county register, a
position worth $4,000 per annum In honest
fees; and q Mr.. Fowler, the chief officer of
the water board. These people are getting as
rich as the Tweeda and Connolys OF New
York, the Boutwels of Washington, the
Caseys OF New Orleans, and the Grants OF
Long Branch.
While the Times keeps up It's hullabaloo
about the New York finances, the Tribune at
,tacks the Brooklyn Ring. It's sudden zeal 10
behalf of the welfare Of a neighboring city
would excite some interest II 1t were not
patent that the publishers were nervous about
their rivals success, and were attempting to
yet up little diversion in their own favor.
Tne knowledge of this fact by the public
spoils the effect. The sensation falls fat.
1t Is really surprising how many people there
are, with regulations for good sense business
capacity and self respect, who permit them
selves to be drawn intos woodruff and Claf-
Inns advertising schemes, and made apparent
ly to appear before the public as supporter OF
their ridiculous pretensions for Office. These
women have but one earthly object in view, to
make all the money they can out OF FOOLS
They can only do this by keeping themselves
constantly before the public. The brokers'
office 10 Broad street, and the pretended bust-
ness done therein, the weekly newspaper ad-
vocating free love and all the isms, the con.
slant appearance OF the parties in the police
courts with their family troubles and their
self.nomlnations for positions they cannot
legally fill, are 30 many dodges to keep alive
their potoriety. Mrs. Victoria c. Woodruff has
nominated herself for President against Grant,
and has written animaginary address to her
self from an imaginary association which she
Woodruff for the Presidency.
To use the current slang, this Is very sthln," !"
and the wonder Is that anybody should be
taken ID, wlth,it But it is fact that Wood
hull's pretenslons are sustained BY such sharp
women as Snsan B.: Anthony and Elizabeth
Cady Stanton. Woodhul's sister, Tennie Q;
Claflr, has the apparent support OF some Oh
the first bankers and brokers' ID wan street.
She has nominated herself for Congress In the
Eighth District OF New York, (James Brooks'.)
Last night she got q large number Of Germans
together at Irving Hall, and made them O.
speech in their own language, and told them
what she proposed 10 DO wnen sne got lnto
