The first ticket for election was placed in the
field OF rampant politics in Kings county yester-
day. The city and county Conventions were held
at Urls Hall during the afternoon when the fol
lowing named asprants for Office were chosen as
standard-bearers, as "gudes on the line,' for the
balance of the campaign City Judge, Daniel
P. Barnard; Police Justice, James S. Eschewege;

ton; Second district, David L. Lynch; sixth dis
trict, Henry NJ Birkett; Sheriff, Thomas II. Faron;
Commissioners OF Charities, General T. F. Bourke,
and John White; Justice Of Sessions John j. Dow
ling.
Mr.. Barnard Is q venerable member OF the Bar OF
Kings county, and has long been identified with
the reform movements OF Brooklyn. Mr.. Esche-
wege, who is also lawyer, is a member of the
Citizens Reform Association, known the Com
mittee Of One Hundred, which organization has

they also propose to nominate ex-COngressman
William E. Robinson for the House Of Rep

until sundOwn election day. Mr.. White, the
| nominee for Commissioner of Charities q posi-

| served two terms as County Clerk upon ''regu-
lar" democratic nominations. He recognizes the
necessity for reform, however, at this stage of
affairs and is therefore again In the field to serve
tfQAinterests OF 'the poor, dear people," Mr..
Bowling Is at present Justice OF the Peace OF East
New York, to which Office he was elected last
Spring. The democratic regulars have made a

the support OF those who are sincerely disposed
toward more creditable administration OF affairs
in the municipal government.
