Before the convention adjourned, q committee ap-
pointed by the chair escorted Messr Barre Daley and
Demar TO the and the candidates addressed 1e"
words Of thanks to the convention.
Mr. Barre who has nominated FOR Register Is the
direct representative of Mr.. Mclaughlin. The relations
between them are OF the very closest SORT and 1t was
well understood in the convention that Mclaughlin IN
sisted primarily upon his nomination above all others
John Delmar, who has been nominated for County
Clcrt is n rival for the leadership of the Brooklyn
Democracy whom Mclaughlin has long feared ana nam
pered Last year he put forward number Of candidates
in order TO defeat Delmars nomination for sherln,
and finally succeeded IN nominating the Chief OF
tho Fire Department Mr.. Nevins, for that
office Delmar, compelled TO pocket the insult,
took his revenge by defeating Neyins at
the election. Delmar Is allpOwerfu among the S0uth
Brooklyn Democracy, and il was well understood that II
be did not get the nomination for County CLERK he woud
defeat any other person who did receive the Democratic
nomination. Judge Delnar is known IN his Immediate
ncighborhood as a Of thorough honesty temper
anee and genial disposition Even among his RepuJli-
can opponents he has no personal enemies and he mas
conducted the affairs OF the District Court over which ne
has presided as Justice with such uniform importantly
as to gain the eDmity Of none.
