II is amentably true that unless the Mayor destroys

Not content with this sweeping arralgn-

returned to the subject on subsequent days, and

Tho question which interests and concerns tho

&c \ question as 10 which Brooklyn is curious and
serious II has great deal TO do with the determine
tion of the next Mayoralty no matter VINO the can

the party expectation involves the denomination OF
Mavor Cbapin. The reelection, to be sure, comes
after the renominaton but the latter IS decidedly
morn important than the former. An uniniehnonauy

political quantity than Alfred c. Chaplin. The
srectacle Of investing In the lattor only 10 ara" uo

There has been no change in the SITUATE
since these lamentations were voiced by our
fearless and independent Democratic neighbor.
Sheylin was not brought out for Mayor, as The
EacleD grimly recommended, but Mr. Chaplin,
stepped to the lips in reform pretensons and
tainted with all the uncleanness Of Shevhn-
lied administration, has been renominated with
the sanction of Mr.. Mclaughlin and the gangs.
His denomination was easily effected, for he had
not broken with his masters, and had multi
piled opportunities for profitable political pat
ronage in his schemes of public Improvements.
His reelection, as our prophetic friend itself
remarked a few months ago, is much more
difficult matter; for the man is unmaSked, his
servility to the tyrannical and INSCRIPTIONS
managers Of his party in Kings County is known
to all good citizens and his opportunities for
trading upon public crcdulity are already num-
bered.
