KINGS COUNTY POLITICS.


The impending Connict-The Reform
Hobby and the Nationals Strategy De-
feated-The Rush for Once.
There Is pretty heavy skirmishing along the lines
for position In Kings county, politically and meta
ph0rcally speaking. The several divisions of the
0fflce-seeking horde banded together under BAN
ners bearing strange devices as unintelligible as
Sanscrt to the masses, are loading, firing, ad-
vancing, deplOyng, reassembing and retreating
continually There is In fact, no telling what the
exact positions OF the several organizations will be
on the field when the ''ban opens" But rom
what can be CLEANED with the aid Of o field glass
and knowledge OF the intention OF the several
c0mmandants Of corps, the situation at present is
this: There are three "refOrm" (D 0rganiza-
lions in Brooklyn, which will each place
full ticket In the field this Fall,
provided they carry out their programme as at
present laid down. Then there is the Committee OF
One Hundred, recently reorganized from the rem
nant Of the Academicians Of last year. This Is the
heavy ordnance, the train Of siege guns which will
be brought up to batter down any phalanx of cor
ruptOnists that may have the temerity to defy the
battle cry Of REFORM by seeking more plumber than
they have already enjoyed at the public crib. The
gallant one hundred in question Is composed of
moneyed men-flty democrats and fifty republi-
the presnt but who 81 are enxous to
set aside the old and depraved rats that
have sSs gray and bou BY eSng
years back. These fellows are not to be
permitted to longer impose their presence upon
vent it. Then there is the "Jefrersonian Commit
tee, :" led by ex-County Judge. Troy and Walter J.
naay ha o full
power in prospective. They win nominate D: P.
The JefferSonIans sprung into existence last FAN,
to oppose the ring" regulars Of the democratic
Sion it would appear2at least they e an
influence, and the consequence is manifest. To-
day one,half the elective offices Of Kings
favorable to the election Of Horace Greeley and
Francis Herman; In 50 much they agree with the
either the latter part Of this week or early next
week This VIII give the people fair opportunity
with the candldates-their fitness for the hOnors
sought at the hands OF the people. This Is an ex-
ceent plan, and the Jefersonians are to be felici
tated upon this determination, which is at variance
with the usual practices Of the party magnates Of
Brooklyn.
The democratic Reform Committee, under the
leadership Of ex-Congressman William e. Robin
putting full ticket in the field next month di.

The sO-called '"Nati0nal Committee" who of
tempted a. little piece Of strategy, by which
they hoped TO- strengthen their organiza-

cation known as the National Democratic General
Corboy, and the secretary Charles B. Wylie, now
Alderman Of the Seventh ward. 1t was powerful

Its members such men as ex-District Attorney
Samuel Samuel D. Norris Judge Troy the late Larry
committee compelled the "regularsn to give them
'.show'' In the nominations, and finally became
and consolidation was proposed. The result
was that the two committees gradually merged
into one, and for several years members Of the Old

many stormy convention ana lively political row.
After their evacuation the CapitOl" was frequently

Here it was that the Grogan democracy made their

A few days since several members Of the present
national COmmittee"-among whose prominent
members are Johnny Golden, of the Tenth ward,
and W. Fl. Gardiner, ofthe Filth ward-approached
tives Of the old National Committee, requested him
to cal q meeting OF that committee for the purpose
OF reorganization. Wylie failed to recognize any
of the old members In the new committee, and
promptly refused to do anything Of the kind. The
visitors retired discounted at their failure.

states written over and broken, In all probability,
before any mutual agreement will be arrived at
