Home Rule,

LONDON, June 6.-In an interview last
night Mr.. Chamberlain said that the
defeat OF the Home Rule bill was
certain, for he knew his followers were
reliable He had never reckoned on Mr.
Peas as follower. There were twenty or
thirty others who were doubtful, and who
were rot included in his list. He expected
a majority OF thirty against the bill. He
was so convinced that Parliament would
be dissolved inside OF a month that he was
preparing for an election contest.

yeti when they were asl ed by what ar-
tnority they held their primaries at aaothsr
than the designated place, they declared
that primary had been called at another
place. Judge Ranken, as member of the
Committee from the Seventh Precinct of
the Third District had the right to fix the
place for the primary in that polling place,
and did assign place. He happened to
be away, and q Third District Club had
sent communication to Secretary 0'Don-
nell, asking HIM to designate another place
for the primary. Supposing, he says, that
hanken had been consulted, he fixed an
other place than Fourth and Coles street,
and under shelter of his mistake these
gentlemen seek to excuse themselves for
running little primary at which only
few invited friends, who were expected to
vote one way, attended That will be
settled tomorrow night, too. It seems to
be generally suspected that these erup-
lions at the primaries were arranged by
opponents of Jordan, with anticipations
of defeat and with a view to making
grounds of contest that might, in violation
OF al usage and the rules that govern the
Party, enable them to run irregular and
unlawfully elected delegates into the City
Convention. The scheme is supposed to
be designed as well to affect the compost
ton and results of the Ward and Free
holders Conventions. but they all seem to
have been arranged mainly with view to
overturning the will of the people in the
coming City Convention.

The change in the City Executive Commit

either voice or vote. The chairman of the
County Committee is by the constitution of
the Committee a member of all the Com

rule does not apply to the chairman of the
City Committeeman that s all Davis is. The
City Executive Committee, it is now claim

their work will probably be reviewed by the
City Committee next Tuesday evening.
The Constitution of the City Committee
provides that the Executive Committee

rIYo COOP NOMINATIONS.

Why p. HI. O,Neill and Alderman
O'Rourke Should be Nominated.
Patrick H. ONeill, car didate for Alder
man from the First District, is booked for
a winner if he gets the nomination, his
past career and brilliant war record being
sufficient guarantees that the people of his
district will vote for him by large ma
jority. Mr.. ONeill is about S8 years of
age and has been reared from his birth in
the district which he seeks to represent in
the City's legislative body. He attended
public school No. till he was ID years OF
age, when being enthused with the graphic
accounts of the war as they appeared in
the press of the day, he ran away from
school and joined the army as q volunteer.
He served in the war with credit till its
close. Upon his return from the scenes Of
strife he took to blacksmithing, where he
served his apprenticeship. Later and for
fifteen years he was employed as night
Waterman by the American Bank Note
Company, the largest concern of its kind
IN this or any other country, from whom
he holds letter recognizing his ability
and honest integrity while in their employ.
during which time he guarded bills, bonds
and plates to the value of millions of
dollars. In April, 1885, he was appointed
by the Board Of Finance Assessor of the
First District in which capacity he has
given general satisfaction. As Assessor
Mr.. O'Neill has overcome many difficulties,
his field book being resurvey, the first
in a quarter of century. In recognition
of his ability as Assessor the Board Of FL
nance last Thursday night reappointed
him. In view of all these facts the
TATTLER has no hesitancy in recommends
ing Mr. O'Neill as being in every particu-
lar the best qualified man for the Alder
manic nomination in the First District
Alderman Rourke's friends are push
ing him hard for denomination. Two
springs ago, when he was first elected. he
was not the regular candidate of the party,
but this year the prospect of his being the
regular candidate are exceptionally good.
He has made very creditable city father,
and if the party in the Second District
are wise they will put him in the field in

While Harris Altschiel, Hebrew school
teacher, was peregrenaiing along Ninth
street last evening, he was followed by a
crowd of street gamins who hailed him by
calling to him ssHelio Sheeneys! s'Look at
the Jew"I and like expressions. Altschiel
paid no attention to the boys at first, but
the persistency with which they followed
him with their remarks finally exssperated
him, and he turned and gave chase. After
running half block the pursuer succeeded
in catching one of the boys, son of City
Marshal Long, whom he severely trounceds
John Kelleher, who was passing at the
time, seeing the irate teacher inficting
punishment on the boy, turned in and as
saulted Altschiel. Altschiel, now more ag-
grieved than ever, swore out warrant and
had Kelleher arrested. Meantime Marshal
Long had heard of the disturbance and of
the drubbing his son had received at the
hands of the teacher, also had warrant
issued for his arrest, and Altschiel was ar
rested. Both men will be examined to-
morrow morning.

changed their tactics. They are now
casting about for some one to put up
against him. A week ago they pinned their
faith to ex-Congressman Cleveland, and
had decided to push him. But they have
found Mr. Cleveland not 80 strong as he
might be, and they fear that possible as
saults viii be made that will make him
weaker even than he seems to be, and at
last accounts they were split and divided in
their preferences. They are marshaiing all
the strong names IN the City to the front,
against him-one after the other, and as
each name suggested finds its adherents,
they arc not as united as they were when
the SUNDAY TATTLER last made its appear
ance. Mr.. Cleveland's sun is dimming per-

RAILROAD MEN GROWING.
The New Twelve Hour system ON the
Horse Car Lines.

Horse Car Lines.
About the time of the recent strike on
the horse car lines in New York City about
fortnight ago, the employees of the Jersey
City and Bergen Railroad set about devils
ing plan by which the company should
make their duties less burdensome by
shortening their hours of labor. With this
end in view petition was gotten up and
signed by the conductors and drivers, and
one Of their number was selected to pre-
sent the petition to Superintendent Sayre.
Last Monday the new time table went into
effect on the Greenville line. Some of the
conductors and drivers on that line are
finding fault with the new arrangement.
They say that the man who was appointed
from among their number to wait upon
Superintendent Sayre and present their
petition was received with kind of warmth
that he did not appreciate and has bad
tough lines ever since. The new time
table provides, it is said. only two or three
regular run cars that is cars that
are run for twelve hours day.
The rest are "trippers," that are out of
the stables only few hours each day, the
drivers and conductors receiving SO much
per trip One of the conductors said to
TArTLER representative last night that two
or three men on the Greenville line who re-
fused to sign the petition, have been
given the run cars with pay rang
ing from So 10 to 81 40 per day, while other
men who did sign the petition, have been
put on the " trip cars. The best that can
be earned on the trippers is S1.50 per day,
and the earnings of one or two who have
short runs, fall down as low as 80 cents
a day. The Greenville line is the
poorest paying of all the companys lines,
and willingness to reduce expenses on it
may have led to the ready response to the
demand of the conductors and drivers for
a change Another conductor said that he
didn't believe that there had been any fav-
oritism shown, but that the new arrange
ment was not satisfactory to all the men on
the line He further said that the fact
that there is no travel to amount to any
thing in the middle of the day made it
necessary, in his view, for the company 10
run large number of cars on the "trip
principle. The men on the other lines are
wondering what plans, if any, will be de-
vised for their relief Many of them are
satisfied to leave well enough alone and are
content with the company's treatment of
them as it is at present.
