TEMPS TO TRADE OFF yOTEs-CONFIDENCE OF
REPUBLICANS.
The local political contest in Kings County
grows every day more heated There TO be little
doubt al present that the greater portion Of the coalition
ticket nominated by the Republicans and Indcr nd'nt
Democrats sill be elected. Bat the nonpartsan charac-
ter Of the struggle becomes daily more apparent On the
one side is Democrats ticket, the success o. which
means The continuance in his old dica;oral position Of
ROSS Mclaughlin The opposition Is made
ND Of Republicans and Independent Demo
Gratis alike who have united to secure an
honest and independent local government. The
latest important accession Ia their strength comes
from the Irish element Of Independent Democrats an
organization entirely distinct from the slocum Demo
Gratis They represent the best portion OF the lH-hmen
Of Brooklyn and are most earnest in their opposition to
tLc Boss" At a recent meeting they ratified the entire
Republican county ticket. with the exception OF the
candidate for county clerk. Eugene d. Berr, IA whose
Mace they substituted John .imar In the ia Con
grcssona District they accepted Col James CaVdHdgh
OF the Republican, and in the llld ana lNth DstHc's
Gen T. s. Dakin and 4. ". Bliss Of the Democratic
tic.rt JuJ,. Delmar IA considered TO be the only
man Oh the Democratic county ticket who has
no Affiliations with Mclaughlin, or has shown
any persistent opposition to him. He Il the
strongest man on the ticket, and has pros
pec OF election in the event OF the defeat OF the
rest Of his associates III such event hcIaughln'e
authority would vanish Mclaughlin seems now 10 be
making an caort to defeat Judge Dclmar in order TO
insure the election for Register Of hs special representa-
tive william Barre A. the patronage Of this Office - Of
particular value 10 The Boss" ami a the Republican
candidate seems likely TO secure good majority Nc

toward the election OF William Barre Corporal Tanner

McIaughlns intcutiou 10 votes FOR Mr. Barre
by proposals to scratch Judge Dcmar and substitute
Engcne d. Bcrri in return for scratching OF Mr. Tan
ucraud substitute Of william Barre. Corporal Tanner,
who los, both legs IN the battle OF Bun Run, is very pop
ular in both parties, and biz friends think viii lead his
ticket with large majority. They are working zeal
ousy for his election and grow more sanguine every
dav Circulars were issued by them yesterday with eau
tions against any scratching like that indicated above,
and calling attention TO the cOrpor1s war services ana
to the fact that Mr. Barre has held the position OF Dep
ufy Register and Register for over 20 years This has
caused some disaGccon in the ranks, even 81 Mcnsh-
Inns closest followers; for they think that SO rich an
Office worth al least @25 900 year. should not be left
too I,y in tho hauI- " person. Another thing that
makes Mr. Blrre unpopular, especially among the ir7h
and Ccnnans the active part he once TOOK ii t"e
Know-NOthng party.
Mclaughlin seems to losing GROUND on the whole Of
his ticket The friends OF the Republican candidates for
