TO VOTE FOR HILL.
Tho friction between Mayor Chaplin and the leaders
in the Democ rattle party in brooklyn lends especial
interest TO long statement which he issued on Thursday
I'm SUI ppot OF Governor HIlls candidacy. 1t Is believed
TO have been the price he paid for the doubtful honor
OF presiding at the s-mecfing in tho Academy OF
Music last evening. at which Secretary Villas and Con-
creesman DrccknIidge spoke. The Mayor
palpably snubbed by being ignored at the time OF the
first Injecting in Brooklyn. but the hearty recep-
ton gdvon TO him by the audience evidently alarmed
the managers. They made clumsy attempt to ehacc
the record OF the unanimous vote by which he was
condemned in the General Committee for his sppolnt
mens of assessors by vote Of approval in the same
body month later. He also asked to preside
last evening In his statement supporting the Gov
ernor tho Mayor says in part
should desire Governor Ils reelection The deicai
OF Governor Hill would be distinct and serious injury
to the Democracy. So
His official methods careful and thorough. HIS
mind is naturally vigorous He has made his way
step by step from modest beginnings. lie IS SILL
full and wel-equppcd LAWYER, and his writings are
clear and obviously the result Of study
do not hesitate 10 say that there are not twenty
men I'm the country whose united efforts have done
1888 has been done by Governor Hill. In
each State election he has been earnest and unting
a Democrat by instinct and training, ana Keen
politician well. he has seen throughout that the
Democr ratio has not reached the stage where 1t
can endure defeat in its great Northern stronghold.

greeted by the lawyer, who invited him TO 90 TO get
a drink He assured by the man that his case
would not UP for some time.

together and then in "Slcvc' Brodie's bar
room. The German insisted going back to the
court, when the lawyer abandoned hts spirit Of cnod
fellowship and attempted to assault him. They
were put out of the place and the German, after
being struck by hls companion hastily rctrcated
Going 10 the Tombs Court he told return there
