viving tho hopes and spirits OF many who
would have dropped with the sorrow OF de-
lection had HAFFEN been elected. Now
their battle with the wolf OF adversely is
made much easier by monthly stipend
from the city Treasury.
It IA under these conditions and circum-
stances that tho statesmen and patriots OF
tho Twenty-fourth district are preparing
for an energetic fight this year. On the
one side Commissioner PURRoY. full Of
battle, is marshalling his forces for the on
slaught, while his opponents are Just as
active, ana have, too, the prestige Of last
years victory on their side. The civil
Judge 10 be elected has jurisdiction over
wards Twenty.t three and Twenty-four. iden-
tical with tho dominion OF Commissioner
HE1NTz. Tho term OF Office is the same
Csix years.; the salary, however, is $4,000 In
stead OF $1,000.
The two annexed wards wero made part
OF the city OF New York by the vote OF the
citizens residing In them. in 1873. but
the general tendency OF legislation since has
been to separate them from the rest OF
the city politically as well as territorlally.
The Harlem River divides them. Thus Civil
Judges will be elected In all the other dis
tricts In 1893, but In the Annexed District In
1891. Every other district OF the city votes
for a New York candidate for Congress.
The Annexed District elects Westchester
county man. and thus has no part in the city
fight. More than this, the Twenty-fourth
district, though by no means the largest In
tho city, has two Aldermen. one for the
Morrisania end and one for tho Fordham
end. 1t Is the only district not In the juris-
dicton Of the Department OF Public Works,
having, under HErNTz, its own local Depart
ment Of Public Works; and though 1t fur
nishes much business to the police courts
and has police tribunal OF Its own, 1t has
no representative on the police bench OF
this city. Nor is this ALL The Twenty
fourth district goes to mako part OF the
Eleventh Senate district. where a Sena-
tor is to be chosen this year, but the Demo-
Gratis within its boundaries have never had
the naming Of n Senator. In 1879 JOHN B.
HAsK1N an Annexed District man. ran as
Tammany candidate for Senator, but was
beaten by Republican. w. W. NILES. All
Annexed District man. ran In 1888. and was
beaten. Since then all the nominees for
Senator, in all the parties, have been chosen
from the lower end OF the district. the
Seventeenth having held tho Senatorship
for six years, the Nineteenth district for
four. The Annexed District is the only one
in New York which retains anything OF
rural character. It is the only one in which
the Farmers Alliance could expect
to have any hold. 1t is the only one In
which men cannot discuss politics on the
street corners, but must go to the cross
roads for the purpose. Electoneering must
be done with horse and buggy accompani-
ment, and in many parts OF the district COW.
paths take the place OF sidewalks. That Is
why the Annexed District may be said to be
different from every other political division
in New York, and why party battles can be
fought there on lines which would be dis
regarded everywhere else.

Jan. 1. the new Commissioner OF Street
Improvements has been In fact another
Commissioner OF Public Works. the only
difference being that Commissioner GILRoYs
Jurisdiction ceases at the banks Of the Har-
lem. where the jurisdiction Of Commissioner
HEINrz begins. As the office was new
ono, and the political stake involved
was very important. Commissioner PUR-
ROY. who Is ono OF the most skilled OF
local political leaders, exerted himself
70 carry Off the prize for one OF his
followers. The candidate slated for the
nomination was the Hon. JOHN B. SHEA, who
represented the district at Albany In the
+, Legislatures OF 1885. 1886. 1887 and 1888.
Mr.. SHEA is native Of Fordham, 80
years OF age. graduate of st. Johns
College and a surveyor by profession. He
had been nm assistant engineer In the
Department OF Public Works before being
scnt y tGa people 10 the Assembly. In the
contest OF 1883 he was q candidate for Alder
man. and was elected by large majority.
Under these circumstances Mr.. SHEA was In
excellent training for the nomination for
Commissioner OF Street Improvements last
year. His professional qualifications were
undoubted; he had served four years In the
Legislature. and had thus participated ac-
lively In the framing OF the laws which were

A Kentucky idea.

Neither threats nor promises can swerve
tho Democratic leaders OF the blue grass
State from their resolve to overpower their
Republican opponents by Issuing addresses
which combine high literary merit with pro-
found contempt for political common sense.
Their call to arms for 1891 has made it's ap-
pearance In the Courier-Journat, and Its
clarion appeal exhibits a familiar ring:
"From the election Of sAxurLJ TLprS in 1870 to the
defeat Of Gsovxn CLEVELAND in 1883 you have led In
the ngh for the removal Of needless tariff taxation
until By your persstent demands In behalf OF the
people, the principles for which 5 have contsnded
have become known As the Kentucky idea"
They have indeed, become known. but
they have not made much headway In Ken
lucky, to say the least. II the slgners Of
this extraordinary document had as much
conception OF political warfare rs an army
mule has OF military tactics, they would
perceive that their advocacy OF their pet
notion has brought Kentucky to the brink Of
Republicanism. wreckng a splendid Demo-
cratic majority and carrying havoc into the
party ranks In other States. In tho Pr ST..
dental contest OF 1876, when Mr.. T1LDEN
was the candidate OF the party. and before the
beginning of the agitation for the Kentucky
idea. tho Democrats carried the State by II
majority OF 62.634. In the Presidential elec-
tion OF 1880, after four years OF the Kentucky
idea, tho Democrats carried Kentucky by
the much-reduced majority OF 43,4i9 In
the Presidential contest OF 1884. after four
years more OF the Kentucky idea. the Demo-
Gratis carried Kentucky by the still further
diminished majority OF 81. 4.19s. In 1888, after
four years more OF the Kentucky idea, tho
Democrats carried Kentucky by a majority
OF only 2s.666.
In other words, while the total vote Of the
State has been constantly increasing, the
Democratic majority. instead OF keeping
pace with it, has steadily declined, and II
the Kentucky idea is to be persisted In,
1t is merely n question OF time, and that q
short time. when there will not be Demo-
cratic majority In Kentucky at all.
During the period which they particu-
larly refer to- the Kentucky reiormers have
reduced tho majority Of the Democracy from
62,634 to 2S.666. With the Farmers Alliance
in the field this year, the outlook for the
party is seriously endangered in Kentucky.
and in their trepidation the document sign
ers call aloud:
I'VE beg that you will let no side issue divert your
allegiance diminish your influence"
wholesome plan for the Kentucky Democ-
racy would be to stick to the New York idea
Of an increasing Democratic majority each
year. leaving the Kentucky idea of rapidly
diminishing one to those who desire to chase
wild geese to cover and put salt on the tails
OF rainbows.
