the political field In Brooklyn when asked yesterday

vote Of the Republican party, aud consider
able number OF Democrats opposed to Boss rule, will
.upport HIM Now, Mayor Howell was elected
win "A majority Of 600 over Franklin Woodruff, In
1870 This majority clearly due to the votes OF the
members of Plymouth Church and others who Sympa-
bizcd With Mr. Beccher and opposed Mr. Woodruff, be-
usc Of his relations with Mr. Moulton Mr.. Low will
cot all these 900 votes, and that number is sufficient to
offset all Mayor Iowcls majority over Woodruff for
a 600 votes taken from Mayor IIOwcls vote IN 1879

and all OF that Will be given TO Mr.. Low.
