ALLIsoN-FRIENDs IN ALL PARTIES. e.
The campaign In Harlem closed last night with the
,r,.nan meeting Of the Harlem Republican Club which
Y described I'm another column In looking over the
se,d the only regret which the Republicans feel Is
m account OF the small registration Wheh inc
registration rolls consulted, 1t IS seen hat inc
greatest falling of is In the section west OF Fourth
ave. and from the fact that that section contains
most OF the Republican srongholds, the least sangne
mas in the party fear that the prospects OF success
IT the coming election have been diminished Those
Who have taken their off and worked like beavers
during the short campaign feel rather bitter towan
the members of the party who by this indifference
have jeopardized the Republican prospects OF success
by their careessness when otherwise they would have
been so bright. The XxIIId Assembly District Is
naturally strongly Democratic on a united ticket, but
the Counties and Tammany fighting each other
booth and nail Those who are In the thichest OF inc
Eight still sanguine that the Repunicahs wiz
carry the day. II the large attendance and tho
enthusiasm shown at the public meeting mean
anything, the Republicans Will undoubtedly WIN
This state of affairs has been seen not only
at one or two meetings but at every one which mas
been held and on nearly every night during the short
campaign there were half dozen or moro puoho
meetings held in each district in the upper part Oh inc
city. Alderman John Carln was elected in the AAth
Assembly District last year, when the dsu'lct uad
heretofore been Democratic, and there seems 10 90
to suppose that he VIII be eeceu 10 INC o'o
Senate this year.
The Republicans are particularly lucky in the candf
dates who have been nominated in the uptown dis
tricts, and local pride will undoubtedly prhg out
great many votes in consequence Of the nomination OF
Thomas Allison for Judge of the Court OF common
Pleas Mr.. Allison is well known in Harlem. as he IS
also in other parts Of the city. in consequence OF his
prominence as lawyer. although he has never been
before the public before the candidate for any
Office. He has the support of many Tammany men
in consequence Of personal regard and hiehdship
There are probably few men who could have peen
nominated better grounded in the law relating
to municipal affairs. or who have had moro Va1ed
experience at the bar He began at the bottom OF the
ladder as clerk in the law Office Of eXChief Justice
Edmonds Of the Supreme Court after having been
graduated at the College of the City Of New-1orK
Every Corporation Counsel since exSecretary Whitney
occupied that posltion-Andrews Lacombe, O'Bren
and Beekman-an Democrats have employed MI ALI
son TO conduct important cases for them. 1t was MI
Allison who brought the suit in which Hubert o.
Thompson enjoined Tammany Hall from initiating l67
new members and thus control the Presidential
nomination In the Tden campaign. 1t was he who'
prior TO Edward Cooper's election as Mayor, argued
against the Public Burdens bill before the Sensfe COM
mittee and secured IS rejection after 1t had passed
the Assembly. This was the bill by which Tammany
Hall hoped to secure control Of all of the city Offices
by legisistng the County Democracy men who held
them out Of office. He represented the city as sole
counsel in all the broadway Surface Railroad huga
ton and it was through his efforts that the last In
junction obtained restraining the Board OF Alder
men from giving the franchise TO the broadway Com
pany He conducted the case Of the city against the
Eweny-thid Street Railroad Company ard forced that
company TO pay yearly license fee Of $500 for each
car run besides per cent on the companys gross
receipts These only few of the many cases
which Mr. Allison has conducted successfully for the
city.
The position Of Corporation Counsel was Offered to
him during Mayor Edson's administration, but he re-
fused to accept It. He is Endorsed by such men as
James c. Carter, the nim Of Lord. Day & Lord. +. II.
