Chinese feuds here that have cost as many lives as
tho kentucky vendettas. Several months ago young
Chinaman became enamoured of pretty Chinese girl
who had been imported for immoral purposes. He
induced her to elope with and marry him. The high
binder society to which the woman belonged selected

WILLIAMS, JOHN i. GILBERr

AND COLONEL vAINUM
brooklyn was centre OF Repubicanism last
evening, and il the immense, successful and
enthusiastic ratification meeting which the Repub-
hcan party held in the Academy of Music be
an indication Of the temper OF the common people
OF that city towards Boss Mclaughlin, Shev- and
Chapin, the ring of three" then Brooklyn should
DC stronghold of Republicanism after the COM
ing election. The Academy was crowded to its
utmost capacity in spite Of the unfavorabls
weather, and late comers fought on foot, and
Willingly, too. Looking from the stage one
saw sea OF faces, gathering OF the people
whom the candidacy of Andrew D. Baird would
attract almost as strongly as the PRINCIPLES Of
the Republican party. The occasion, with thu
outpouring of people, their enthusiasm and tho
eloquent, telling and able addresses OF the sneak
ers, reminded more than one old campa gner presen&
OF the days Of the Harrison and Morton cam
palgn, whec Brooklyn Republicans reused them
selves and melted down the Democratic majority
in Kings County.
On the stage were many well-known Repub-
lcans, not few Of whom brought ladies' with
them There were also many ladies in the boxes
and throughout the hall. The auditorium was
handsomely decorated with flags and shields repre-
Septlng the different States. pretty cluster
OF streamers was also caught up over the stage
THOSE WHO MADE ADDRESSES.
Before che meeting was called to order Deverelrs
band played few selections before the doors Of
the Academy. But there were no Other efforts
made to draw crowd. Brooklyn people wanted
to hear ex-United States District-Attorney A. w.

wanted to hear William III. Williams on local

AT WATERFORD.
The case against Controller Wemple grows
backer and backer. New evidence against him IS
being brought to light almost every hour, though
no more was needed 10 condemn him than that
which had already been published In the article
that appeared in yesterdays Tribune showing
the Controllers unawful interest in the Rochester
canal bridge, il was stated that in all probability
he had been a contractor for other bridges as well
To-day The Tribune is able TO show that TINS
belief on its part was well founded. In the dis
patches that appear below will be found abundant
testimony to prove that Wempe was contractor
for the work Of building bridges at Water
ford Syrncuse and Utica, as well as
at Rochester. In other words, it appears that the
entire work of the bridge construction on the Erie
Canal is in the hands OF ring composed mainly
of Democratic State officials and that the most
important clement in this combination Is Con-
troler Wemple's firm. No further efforts were
made by the guilty official to deny the truth OF
the charges against him. 1t would be useless
for him to do so. Dispatches from Albany yes
terday afternoon announced that there was great
excitement at the State Department. ControIer
Wemple was said TO be greatly disturbed, and his
friends aud advisers seem panic-stricken. IL IS
thought that lie may decide to resign, since ne
cannot fail to that he is certain to meet WIN
an overwhelming defeat next Tuesday.
