MES JOHN R. BRADT MAY NOT GET THE MONEY.
Il appears doubtful whether the Board Of Estimate
can lawfully pay % the widow Of Judge John r. Brady
Of the supreme COuTt her husbands salary for the
o. The year. The Legislature passed bin at it, last
the result Of the effective work of General
Daniel T. sicles. prompted by his intimate personal
relations Of friendship with the Judge, authorizing the
Board Of Estimate 70 pay to the widow the residue
Of Judge Badys salary for 1891, and 1t became law
though without the Governors signature. II IS
sad that Mr. Hin had grave doubts Of It's constitution
atty. since General sickles has been pressing the
case upon the attention Of the Board Of Estimate
The question of cODsttutiOnalty has again arisen.
section Il, Article of the state Constitution is held
by lawyers 10 be "a bar u the appropriation
desired by Mr. Brady. II provide that no county
city, town or village shall hereafter give any money

THE PROHIBITION STATE CONVENTION
10 BE HELD IN ALBANY ON AUGUST 26-DwIN-
DING VOrT1 DE TILE PARTY

DING Vote OF THE PARTY
Albany July (speciaI.-The dates of the great
political conventions In this State the present year
are swiftly being named. II was only fortnight
ago that the members of the Republican League clubs
decided TO hold their state Convention at syracuse
on August S, an announcement which has led Calvin
;. Brce, the chairman Of the Democratic National
Committee, to issue manifesto calling the attention
OF the Democrats to the vicious activity Of the Re-
publican party IN organising clubs.
The Executive Committee of the Prohibition Party
met here to-day and issued a call for the state Con
vention Of the members Of that party this year II
to be held here in Albany on August 25 and 90. I'm
Harmann's Bleecker Hall. Frederick r. Wheeler, the
local representative OF the party estimates that there
VIII be 500 delegates IN attendance. some Of the
members Of the Executive Committee said that probably
MI Wheeler would be nominated for Governor The
state vote Of the Prohibition party for several years past
has been as follows 1884. 24,e9o 1885. 9O,s67 /:
1885, 36437; 1887, 1890; 1888, 30,23I; 1885,
26,7e3; 1850, 1881 II would seem from these
hgures that the Prohibition party has growing
in this State Many Of It's members apparently have
come 10 the opinion that they make mistake in thus
shooting In the air. and virtually casting blank
ballot.
From present indications. the Republican state Con-
vention will be held Saratoga about September 10
The Democrats that their vote being in the cities
and therefore easily organized for action. they will
not hold their state Convention until late in Sepem-
Der. Brother Flowers pOcketbook will suffer less
the later we have our campaign" said a leading Demo-
crat few days ago; and he undoubtedly is right.
