nUry oF RROOKLYN REPUBLIC ms.

Dirty OF BROOKLYN REPUBLIC Ans.
The Republicans OF Brooklyn have fixed the
dates for their nominating conventions, ana IN
n few DAVIS the campaign there will be under
way. The duty of the party In making ts
nominations ia plain. 1t has an excellent
chance Of making a successful canvass, II due
care is observed in naming the candidates.
The Republicans of Kings County are compact
and united. All the elements OF the party are
in harmony, and if the right spirit anlmates the
nominating conventions there is no reason why
the candidates for the principal Offices may noU
be elected.
On the other hand, the Democratic party
having had possession of all the city oinces LOT
a wear. has done nothing to show that IL
deserves the renewed confidence OF the people
- Rossr Mclaughlin still keeps his grip upon
tbe marty. but the thinking people OF brooklyn
ara weary of one-man power. There are signs
of onen revolt in the Democratic ranks. 1he
newsnaper which has long been the Democratic
organ in Kings County has grown so lndepeh-
dent and so hostile to the interests represented
by the Boss" that new journal mas Deeh
started in his behalf and as the mouthplece OF
the men on whom lis continuance III power
depends Although there is no talk OF an lnde-
pendent movement within the ranks OF the
Democracy, it is plain that no small number OF
Democrats hold their allegiance to their party
so lightly that they can easily cast 1t OH
altogether. If the Republicans are wise they
will make such nominations as will draw the
votes OF this considerable class.
The principal Office to be filled is that OF Dis
trict-Attorney. If the laws are to he enforced
with fairness and without favor it is needtui
that that office be placed under influences
different from those that now control IL. Inc
important positions of Controller and Aucltor,
who are members of the Board of Estimate and
who have the controlling voices in the appoint
ment of Police Justices and of Bridge trustees,
should be filed by Republicans for the next
two years. SO far as Congressman are con-
cerned the districts are so laid out that OILY
one Republican can be elected; but in the
Assembly Districts fOrethought and hard Work
can bring about a result that will be mucn
more favorable for the Republicans than the
outcome of the election of last year. Special
attention should be paid to the nominations Tor
Assemblymen in the four or five districts
where it is possible for the Republicans TO win
against the candidates of the Democratic
dictator.
The Republicans of Brooklyn have it in
their power to take long step in the direction
Of bringing their city government back to what
il WAS before "Boss" McLaughin's dummy
was allowed to take his place in the Mayors
Office win they do it The opportunity lies
omen before them. Let them not fail to make
the most Of it,

PIDCOCK.


Here is the literal transcription of an iDstru-
ment fac simile of which appears in this
weeks issue of The Ne,c-JerSey Herald:
"New York Augt 20 1886
T agreo to nav Robt johnson Newton Sussex
Co one hundred Dollars each delegate from their
County Sussex that for denomination first ballot
and stays succeeding baosthe above to deray
the expenses OF eecting other necessary

Across the face of this paper Is written
"Received on within 5000. Reed on within
$500. Reed on within $500. p. S., (or pd)
at convention, Somerville, Sept. 8, 1886"
This j. n. Pidcock was engaged during the last
session of Congress in making laws for the
people of the United States as representative
of the WITH District of New-Jersey, and be is
now importunng an enlightened constituency
for second term. The reputation of MIR.
Robert johnson, or johnson" for statesman
shin is not National. but it seems to be of the
Pidcock quality so far as 1t goes. The NeC-
Jerseu Herald is the organ of the rOck-ribbed
Democracy of that region, and at the head of
its editorial columns is blazoned the legend
@For Governor Robert S. Green; For Con-
rress. J. n. Pidcock." The publication of this
document however, at this time and in such
naper would appear to indicate. that The
HPTQ(GS EultOr anu certain OJucT DcmoCldlS
disapproved of an agreement under which Pid-
cock was to receipt to Johnson for the delegates
lassoed at this political roundup, and John
son was to receipt to Pidcock for the money,
while the delegates themselves receive ed no
guarantee that they were getting an equitable
divide.
1t is hard to believe that Congressman who
is the bosom companion Of such severe moral
lists as Senator Mcpherson, Governor Albeit,
Miles Ross and Candidate Green would engage
in naughtness of this sort and then give him
self away over his sign manual 1t is to be
hoped that some one willing to be known as
Pidcock's friend will prove that the instrument
is forgery And yet it must be admitted that
the free and easy defiance of the laws of COM
mon morality and of English grammar make
prima facie case against the Congressman.
The agreement to pay 800 for each delegate
from their county that votes for my renomina-
ton, first ballot and stays by me" is so genu-
iney PidcOcklan In syntax that only genius
of the first order could counterfeit it.

VAR EXPECTED AND FEARED.

The most alarming feature of the EurOpean
situation is the fact that the outbreak of war is
generally expected. The three military
Empires are in a state of feyerish uncertainty
and unrest and two of them, Austria and
Germany, are introducing with all possible
haste the improved magazine-rifie, which is
the most formidable implement of war ever
placed in the soldiers hands. France under the
malign influence of that political adventurer In
uniform General Boulanger, has caught the
coutagi0n, and is not only experimenting with
new arms and explosives, but Is also intriguing
openly with Russia and threatening to move
against Germany soon as 1t shall have a con-
venient opportunity. Italy is improving its
ornaments, and England has two Cabinet Min
listers on the Continent on mysterious missions
presumably connected with the settlement of
tho Eastern Question. Everywhere war is
considered probable.
Russia is openly menacing Bulgaria with
invasion. The Car, it is generally thought, is
only deferred from ordering his troops TO
advance by the serious reports received by the
War Department of the disorganization Of the
Russian transport service and the superior
armament of the Austrian army. He is sur
rounded, as every Car has been, by military
Hotspurs who are anxious for active operations
and reckless in forecastng the consequences OF
war. He has been personally responsible for
the Russian policy in Bulgaria. 1t has prov a
disastrous diplomatic campaign. A Gear never

likes Co admit that he has blundered lie pre-
fers to declare war rather than to make confess
sion to Europe that he has overreached himself
and deserved his ill-fortuno.
Europe is swaycd by the dread OF war.
especially when there are the strongest proba-
bilities that 1t will be waged on grand scale.
Generally as a campaign between Austria and
Russia IL now expected, tho outbreak of hostll-
tiles IL apprehended with fear and dsmay In
every great capital. The Northern Power,
which was brought 80 near to defeat after flev-
M in its battle with the despised Turk, can
not help shrinking from any course OF action in
Bulgaria involving a rupture with Austria
The army that received a staggering blow at
Sadowa has been completely reorganlzed; It's
military system has been closely modelled after
the German and its rank and file are now armed
with the wonderful magazine rifle. An invasion
of Bulgaria, with the Austrian army watch
ing on the ServIau frontier for a favorable
moment for intervention. cannot be looked
upon in Sc. Petersburg as a holiday parade. On
the other hand, the Austrian staff know that
there is no soldier in Europe like the Russian
infantryman or trooper; that in long cam
palgn il is the man and not the weapon that
finally wins; and that the Gar with his vast
reserves of population to draw upon can Hing
away one brigade after another with cynical
Indifference. Germany cannot but view such
a campaign with dismay Indeed, what nation
in Europe does not stand IN dread of the gem
eral war which is now confidently expected in
every capital In this very fear OF hostilities
lies the hope of European peace.
