TIE POLITICAL CAULD2ON IN BROOKLYN,
WHAT TIE REPUBLICAN CONVENTIONS MAY Do

TIE CITIZENS LEAGUE MOVEMENT.
The day before the Democratic City Convca-
tion in Brooklyn it possible predict absolutely the
course it would take but Republicans Ri at sea
yesterday in regard nomination which their City
Convention Will make night. The action taken by the
Citizens League much discussed The Executive
Committee of the acting under the direction Of
tue Governing Council Of Fifty, decided yesterday to
the OF the meeting Of citizens TO consider the
question Of nominating an Independent candidate, from
last evening to this evening 1t felt that any action
taken by the League would be resented by the hcpub-
can Convention attempt at dictation If the meet
ing was held in advance OF the Convention The
call for the meeting says that tie affairs OF our city
Should be administered with single aiIa to the good
and honor ot brooklyn aud without regard TO the inter
ess either the Democratic The Republican party,
and that " the Democratic City Convention has taken
action which practically antagonzes the principles and
methods OF municipal administration under which
Brooklyn has attained its present advanced position
AS this meeting and the Republican Convection VIII
be held simultaneously is expected that committees
will DC appointed TO confer with each other before
any nominations made II said that the League
meeting would adjourn after the appointment Of Com
lutce of Conference 10 meet again when tie result of
the City Convention is made known The favorte can
didao OF tho members of the League, who that
non partisan grounds an Independent-Dcmocri should
succeed Mayor Low. is General John b. Woodward He
supported Mr Low in both his campaigns, hut worked
for President Cleveland last year and avors Governor
Hill.
If the Republican Convention concludes not TO
accept the overtures OF the Citizens League in
regard to Independent Democrat-and, II Is
doubtful whether they are accepted unless man Is
presented who opposes Governor M! - eN-hay0r
SchrOsder may be nominated In case OF his refusal
exAlderman Baird Is regarded by the strongest
Alderman DlmO3 ana Judge heynOld5 are also
looked upon iavOraby. 1t is believed that Judge Hey
nolls has clements OF strength tnat other man talked
possesses. His character Is absolutely rrcproach
able; ne has never been PARTISAN and there Is no
reason why all Republicans and all Independent Demo
Gratis should not heartily support hlm.

biltes that in the Vth District supervisor jewell
the nomination. In the lid District Republicancs
are likely to support C. j. Henry, an Independent Demo
Boss" McLaughlins man for Mayor Daniel d. Whit
ney receiving much adverse criticism at the hands OF
poiicisn as Mciaughiin did not have dGsmy candi-
dale set up IN opposition to Whitney in
order make semblsnco OF free
choice. The explanation Of this furnished
yesterday 1t seems that Mclaughlin did try
such bogus opposition and overtures were made to no
Bndse SI President reside Oio Howell j. Hendrix and CSecicr
Black. But all refused, as it certain that Whitney
was to be nominated. The E0OcS support OF Whitney
secured by the "Boss" allowing Colonel Hester,
the publisher. to make the nominating speech.
