. AN ALE 1.
BOSS MLAUGHLIN VS.. JUDGE DELMAR--A Po-
LITIcAL TALE OF NOMINATIONS, WITH
WORD ABOUT Ex-cHIEF FOLK.
That the leaders Of both Of the regularly organized
political parties in Brooklyn and particularly those Of
them who give special attention to political party
Germs in the southern portion Of that city, now
grievously pressed by forebodings concerning
the success of their several political charges in the
coming November election, is well recognized fact
among all who take interest IN local affairs To
THE OUTSIDERS"
such machine workers as Hon J. S. T. Stranahan on
the one side and Mr. Hugh Mclaughlin, better known
as the Boss on the other either sterny retcent
or amusingy jocuar when the present can
vass is mooted and in either their stern or
jocular moods they non-commttal a heather
god when there nothing OF value held up to induce
it TO open its mouth. Through what may be called
the assistant engineers in the working OF the party
engines, however, there is tendency to leak out
such information may have been conhded to them,
the pressure of the peculiarly exasperatng conditions
being beyond their capacity to bear with FIRST
of all In the southern locality named comes the
query as to whether, on the democratic side Boss
Mclaughlin will permit the nomination OF Judge
Delmar for the Office of Sheriff of the county Of Kings
II seems to be believed all sides that the Boss is not
favorable TO the progressing of Delmar beyond his
present
SPHERE DIGSIFIED USEFULNESS
provided his advancement be avoided with safety
the ticket generally But the Judges captains euten-
ants sergcants and corporals all particularly and
persstenty to have the question Of his prefer
ment settled Immediately and definitely now so far as
that nomination is concerned in order that the other
asprants may understand that their goose is cooked'
for this occasion and that they may as wei get out Of
the way.
In making this request Of the powers that be the
Judges friends IN declaring that the republi-
can leaders contemplate the presentation of the name
OF eXChiei oil Ponce FOLK, with the manner OF whose
retirement from Office there very general repubi-
dissatisfaction and that because of the method
Of folks retirement the Judge is the only
in the opposition who head of the
veteran chief And there many other
strong forms in which the claim for the Judge is pre-
sented, without, as yet elictng any definite
sponse than that the several held so
TO the day Of election il is still too early 20 be
quvocaly definite touching the position of any candi-
date any ticket for local Offices This conclusion has
determined the Judges friends it is declared
tain threatening attitude toward the Boss touching
that portion OF the ticket until the Convention meets.
They declare that Mr. Mclaughlin does incline
deal fairly with the judge that he is watching care
fully the effect Of the local cries concern
ing nearly four per cent rate of taxation on
the present depressed and almost entirely unsuitable
real estate Of the clty of the wOrdv war against what
now called the inter party Ring and ali Its known sub
ordnates; Of the feeling aroused in the Eighth and
Twenty second wards because Of the war Of some Of
Tamadge for seeking TO have Prospect Park lands paid
for with the money be obtained from the sale Of the
east side lands rather than by a heavy assessment
upon already impoverished and overburdened dis
rct OF the cry against eyyng end placing large Of
money the sinking fund for favored banks to
years three per cent while they loan back this very
sinking fund money 10 the city at per cent
and will be able TO do for years TO come Of the grow
ing cry for
"NEw DEALn
all around both Sides and that when he shall have
arrived at conclusion concerning the effect OF all these
cries IN the present he Will make one OF
the following decisions in relation the nomination
for Sheriff on the democratic sde:--
II II shall certain that with the democratic
State ticket the ascendant here and the democratic
party In the ascendant in other States the which
have been raised render democratic success in the
local Offices exceedingly uncertain then will he give
the domination ~ the Judge leaving him TO shoul-
der the blame as he goes down defeat This
course, IL Is claimed by even more than the
judges friends, would be wise for Mr..
Mclaughlin TO make should the conditions be right,
for the that the defeat locally " IL must come
the election could be made appear as charge
able 10 the Judges account, thereby relieving other
shoulders and besides, that defeat would place the
Judge whore he need not be feared for several years
come. But should
TuE PROSPECT OF SUCCESS
for the local ticket fair, should II 20 be
simply evenly balanced, the declared belief that the
Judge will be set aside and then II defeat follows the
friends Of the Judge can be blamed for STILL the
ground that they failed in their duty TO the whole
ticket revenge for the failure Of the Convention
recognize the Judges claims.
These the declarations that are about 70 be
handed down TO the furtvey ambitious young men
who gather at the in South Brooklyn on
pleasant evenings, and which being canvassed
freely by the many non-partisan gatherings which
have within the past few nights become a somewhat
exciting phase in Brooklyn politics
