GENERAL POLITICS.

OFFICE-HOLDERs To WORK As DADY DIRECiS-
THE POLICE ENTIRELY NoN-PAR1IsAN.
The Republicans of Brooklyn are considerably ex'
cited at present over the efforts being made TO con-
troll the election Of delegates 10 the new General
Committee. 1t has been the practice heretofore to
elect one-thrd OF tho members each year. but
change was made some time ago, that an nirely
new committee are he chosen at the primaries to be
held Tomorrow night. One-third OF tie delegates
will be elected for term Of three years. one-tbrd
for two years and one-thrd FOR one year. Hence
the election of delegates tomorrow night will prob
ably decide the control of the committee for tho
next two years. Al the meeting of the committee
on last Tuesday resolutions were passed denouncins
the Administration for its unwarrantable IN
reference irf the State election" TO which
was attributed the unprecedented defeat
of the Republican State ticket. This
action on the part OF the General Committee. as
well as similar action on the part Of the Young Re-
publican Club, has greatly incsnsed the friends of
the Administration, and they have set to work to
secure control of the new General Committee, In
order, among other things, to rescind the resolu-
tions and approve President Arthur's Administra-
tion.
A day spent in Brooklyn. in conversation with
leading Republicans outside of the Federal
oficebolders would scarcely fail to give
any unbiased person the impression that the
action of the General Committee and of the Young
Republican Club, in disappearing the conrse o. the
Administration fairly reflects the popular senti-
ment The 40 600 majority given to Cleveland IN
Kings County is another evidence OF the TACT.
Under these circumstances it appears to be dlri-
cult matter for the Administration Republic
cans to reverse the action of the Gen.
eral Committee, but Michael j. Dady,
the Administration leader, has resoutely set
about the task. His assistants W. II. Beard and
S. T. MADDOX, who are members Of John I. Smyth's
State Committee, with W. II. Leaycratt and United
States Marshal Harlow were dispatchedto Washing
ton almost Immediately after the General Commit
tee passed its enunciatory resolutions III order 10
secure the aid of President Arthur and Secretary
FOlger. At the same time, John ). OBren, the
head of the machine in this city, also
went 10 Washington to assist the Brooklyn
"statesmen"-as George Bliss calls them-In in
aurnralng an aggressive policy" The great sue
cess which has attended the New-York machine, as
dpmonstr rated by the increased Democratic mlJoIity
In this CITY, has apparently mace q demand else
where for similar work in behalf OF the AdniIistra-
ton When Folger delegation was wanted from
