with dlsmay. although they put on a bold face ana
threaten him with all sorts Of dreadful things. But be
e not easily frightened and will not be swerved from
his course
IN. division Of Brooklyn into election districts
was done more wisely than In this city. There arc
no districts in which such largo number OF voters
s registered that there will not be time to have all
the votes cast. IS thought, though thar there may
be ATTEMPTS I'm some quarters the part OF Democratic
obs.rcioni5s to delay the voting by taking aivaha-o
of the opinion Of the AttorncyGenelal tha' Vo'er
IS not required deposit all his ballots al one tlfhe'
In view Of this the Board Of Elections has made
ho vice nrovision that all who intend to vote all
their tickets at one time shall be formed In one
| line while those who wish 10 vote piecemeal shali
20 into another line and no ono in the second line
| viii be allowed TO approach the balsOt-boAes while
| anybody who has not cast his vote remains III 'ho
! first line This arrangement IS approved by the
CORPORATION Counsel and by tho chairmen OF the ke
publican and Democratic Committees, and tine police
have been directed TO enforce it. Any one standing
IN the second line who attempts 10 vote so long As
rcrsons who have not approached the polls remain
in the other line, will be arrested for obsTuctine
the voting The opinion Of the Attomey-Genera
appears to be an absurd one, but this plan VIII pre-
vent 70 from causing any trouble.
The Republicans OF tho Ivrh Congress District shoui
all feel bound to give hearty support 10 Richeheu
Robinson. who Is running for Congress as an lnde
pendent candidate with the Republican Endorsement
Mr. Robinson is unalterably committed 10 the pohcS
Of protection and has many qualities highly desirable
John NJ Clancy is one Of the fgureheads that Boss

| dIsplaces Why Peter Paul Mahoney should have
been set aside is not clear. He had been faithful
TO the interests he supposed 10 represent, ha'
voted with his party regularly and had never givci

Of cspacity TO deal with public questions. He ex

Mayor Chaplin IS Leeping up the role of politician
Besides making a series of political speeches, he ha
assumed the functions Of political prophet and La
