ont al this time. The Democratic majority OF the
BROOKLYN Board of Aldermen few weeks ago
elected Dunno keeper Of the City Hall, to
succeed Keeper Waters. In the bill now
awaiting the signature of Governor Cleye-
land, which provides Tor reorganization Of
the Board, 10 clause extending Keeper
Dunnc's term to five wears This clause IS strongly
opposed by the Republicans OF Brooklyn. many Of
whom also oppose the main part OF the bill ON The
ground that the gcrrymaudering of the Senat orial
Districts from which the majority OF the new Board
are to be chosen, Will make tw0oi them Democratic
and the chances are that the Democrats can elect
tn. Aldermen att Large. One rumor was that Boss
