An address from the Methodist Ecumenical
Conference to all Methodists throughout the
world was adopted at yesterdays session. Just
how many people will be reached by the address
can be seen from the report of the Committee
on Statistics presented earlier in the day. From
this it appears that there are 42,695 ministers
and 6,494,899 members in all branches of the
denomination, while the adherents" are nearly
four times as numerous as the members The
address of this vast body is plea for closer
cooperation between the various sections and
the conservation of all efforts in behalf of right
eousness and temperance.

The charge that Verplanck Colvin is not a
practical engineer has been completely refuted'
It his served good purpose, however, in call
ing attention to the qualifications Of the Demo
cratic candidate for State Engineer and Sur
veyor. Is Martin schencz practical engineer?
Advices from Albany show that his outfit in
this line is meagre, not to say shabby, and that
Engineer Bogart has pronounced Schenck unfit
for the Office 1t is extremely doubtful whether
the latter meets the requirement Of Article "
Section 2, Of the Constitution.

three speeches last evening in widely separated
parts of the town. The first gathering which he
addressed was the colored mass meeting in the
Cooper Union:> 1t was big meeting, and gave
the Republican leader the heartiest sort of re-
ception. There is no doubt that our colored
friends are all right in this campaign. Mr..
Fassett gave them vigorous, cear-cut, incisive
speech. From there he went TO the Germania

what goes on at various lodging houses and

noticed that His Honor Justice "Pat" Diver

promised to help his friends out of trouble in

The Brooklyn Democratic leaders will do their
utmost TO elect Mr. Body and to give much
stronger support to the local than to the State
ticket. In that way they will hope to v1nd1cate
their course in protesting vehemently against the
nomination of a millionaire at Saratoga. In their
anxiety to kick Mayor Chaplin out of the Mayors
office into Congress they have nominated rch
banker themselves and afronted a second time the
rank and file of their own party. The Republicans
have in Mr. Meyer strong and popular candidate
who will draw large vote from the Democratic
side. The announcement that he will make
speeches in German and English in every ward
shows that he is bent upon conducting vigorous
and successful canvass. The Republicans in Kings
County are united againt faction-rent enemy and
full of fire and enthusiasm. They can elect their
candidate for Mayor as well as wipe out the usual
Democratic majority on the State ticket.
