ieaI situanon : "Who will be nominated Tor Mayor
Well II looks to me now as II the cahoidate would
be william Ziegler. believe there VIII be popular
demand for him which will force him upon the party
management Probably he win not suit all the poll
ticans but the people want him he is the best man.
He woud attract a large Independent vote. Many
Democrats are greatly disappointed In Mayor Chaph
as shown up by the water scandal, and tney VIII

candidate for Governor from Brooklyn. 1t would put
the party In excellent shape FOR the next Presidential
campagn If it had local candidate for Governor next

a great vote in this city Brooklyn has not been rep

before reporting TO the main committee over which
General Stewart L. WOodford presdes The Municipal
Reform Committee will select the men 10 cooperate
with the regular Campaign Committee next fall from
outside the party organization.
Dr. LYMAN Abbott is greatly pleased with the suc-
cess attendant upon the meeting of the State COngreg
he pumes himself especially upon the fact that only
twice in its history the state Association has met In
BROOKLYN and on both of these occasions Plymouth
Church has been the place of meeting. For church
that has not been held to be always In line with the
Other churches of the denomination this Is certainly
remarkable. The programme OF exercises went OH
