upon ring and gang, nor protect him against onc

ance has any Brooklyn citizen that Mr.. Doody
will be more successful than Mayor Chaplh III
resisting the evil influences and associations OF
rinc government? None whatever Mclaughlin
had only to ask AR. Body to give up his seat III

cation Of servility Mayor Chaplin had only 10
ask the same Mr. Body for certificate OF goou
character in the water scandal and that, 700, was
PROMPTLY furnished. There, too. Is an intlna-
ton of the inevitable Generalization when over
takes even good and reputable men when tney

Tho trouble with the Banking Department ana

is that they have been Tammanylzed. IL snouio

The Tammany victory last year was the olrec'
result of Republican indifference on Eiectlon LAY

Governor Hill had played mean trick Oh lhchi !"
promising TO support Alfred C. Chaplin TOT ,ne ho'n
nation for Governor and then going back on DIS

The rcciprocitv agreement with Spain has been
in operation only two months, and flour has not
get been included in the reduced schedules; oue
there has been q large increase Of trade VIII"
Cuba Every Ward steamer now heading 1or the
island is heavily laden with cargo, marked IN
crease of the trade in provisions having followed
the negotiation of the agreement IL mas even
been necessary to charter extra steamers IN oruer
to carry the outgoing freight when the l'o"i
reductions 90 into effect, the resources OF the COM
pany's fleet will be heavily taxed to meet the re-
ouirements of the trade This evidence proves
how useful the reciprocity policy is in charging
foreign markets for American exports. SO far as
Cuba is concerned, the benefits are even greater
than to American interests. Not only Will the
cost of living be diminished in the island, and Hour
brought within the reach of large classes who have
not been able to buy IT. but the industries VIII DC
developed by large investments Of American cap

plant is now going to Cuba from the United States,
and the product of cane sugar Will be increased

Bradford Rhodes, the candidate for the Senate
hac Nrni 20
motion. He was a useful Assemblyman and he
would be a useful Senator Westchester County
has been fortunate in sending TO the Senate repre-
sentatives who have had much weight In the
deliberations of the Legislature and it would still
be well represented if Mr.. Rhodes is elected. He
should be chosen by such majority as that which
Senator Robertson has so often had.
The Republican candidates for Assemblyman and
Alderman in the XXIst District are men Of ex-
oelIent character and education. Thomas g. OdeI,
the candidate for the Assembly, would w0rthiy
Represent the district which has frequently sent
70 Albany able and efficient legislators. Alex
ander G. Fisk, the Republican candidate for Alder
man, should also be elected in spite OF the TACT
that his opponent has once before carried the
district At elections where full vote is polled
the Republican candidates have always been sue
cesfll. and the high character Of the candidates
and the large registration assure the success of the
Republican candidates, unless the voters neglect
their duty on election day.
The XIIIth Assembly District Republicans
should be careful TO cast their ballots for the Re
publican candidates for Assembly and Alderman.
It is especially important that every Republican
candidate for the Assembly should receive earnest
support this year The control Of the next Legis
lature is only less momentOus in the war against
Tammany methods than the election of Republic
can Governor The XIIIth District should give
the Republican candidates a large majority.
An attempt has been made in Brooklyn to an
taConize ex-senator Eugene F. OConnor, the Re-
publican candidate for Secretary of State, on the
ground that he is opposed to the proposed bridge
across the East River in the vicinity of Grand-st
or course the Secretary of State has nothing TO do
with the passage of bill granting charter TO a
bridge company, and such an argument ought to
have no weight as against Mr.. OConnor. As
matter Of fact, however he was not in the Senate
last winter, when the bridge matter was under con-
sideration. Senator Edmund O'Connor, of Bng-
hamton, is q totally different person.
