A NEW COUNTY COMMITTEE.
HARMONIOUS REPUBLICAN PRIMARIES.
IN ONLY ONE DISTRICT WAS THERE CONTEST
"A LIVELY TIME IN THE With.

Yesterday, shown by the large vote poeu, Ill spite
Of the fact that few districts were contested Is thc
| best possible evidence Of the healthy condition
of the Republican party in the metropolis. 1t Is
not made of the kind of stuff that quails or be-
come disbeartened in the face of defeat. At
| every polling place there was large turnout OF
the best elements Of the party, and the one object
in view, apparently, to place the organization
of the various districts in the hands of men who
| by training and experience were fitted direct
| the 90 900 Republicans of New-York in the path
way Of victory.
| In most instances the elections were peaceful
| and harmonious. A few changes in leadership
were made, and, judged from their character and
| spirit the representative Republicans who have
| been chosen to sit in the County Committee this
year will not hesitate to make such changes among
the county leaders as they believe will be best
| for the growth and strengthening, the prosperity
and success Of the organization. IL they believe
| that the efficiency of the Executive Committee
will be increased by placing a bold, skilful and
| aggressive leader at its head, important a
| duty is not likely to lie neglected.
Conspicuous among the most harmonious dis
| tricts this year all earnest Republicans will he
pleased to note the gallant XIIIth, heretofore
distinguished for its quarrels. All discord there
has been buried, and nearly 600 unscratched bal
dent of the regular association and ex-senator
| Frederick S. Gibbs for executive member. The
delegates TO the county and district committees
were made up eq'-lly from the Gibbs and Cowie
parties In the Ist District Michael w. Healy

moved from the city. Except in the With Dis
trict the only semblance Of contest was in the
XIVtb, where Charles A. Conkin was elected
delegate to the County Committee by twenty
seven majority over j. W. Reichert, who was on
the regular ticket
There was spirited contest in the With
District between Gustav a. Schurmann, the
present leader, and the friends of John Il.
Brodsky The result was favorable to the BrodslS.
side, headed by Theodore f. Ruhl, who believed
that Mr.. Brodsky and his adherents should be ad-
mitted TO the organization without further delay
Owing to the remarkable conduct of the police,
which, as usual, were under Tammany influence,
only SO of the $50 persons on the rolls were per-
mitted to vote. All went along peacefully until
A ia D. IN, when ~ F. Fursman, of No. 20
Essex-st., offered to vote. lie was challenged
on the ground that at the last election he had
worked and voted for the Democratic ticket He
offered to swear in his vote. but the inspectors
fused it, Police-Sergeant Creedan, in charge OF
the polls, suggested that he be allowed to swear in
his vote and a charge could be made against
Fursman and he would arrest him. This was not
agreed TO. and Fursman stood at the polls impeding
all further voting, until the hour for closing o p.
m. When the polls closed the list showed
that fifty-eight had voted, but it was discovered
that siXty-One had been cast. Three of these
were thrown out. OF the fiftyeight ballots
cast, the Brodsky ticket received thirty eight
votes, and the Schurmann ticket twenty The
Brodsky ticket declared elected.
BrodslSy said that his party had to contend
against all the forces of 1ammany Hall, who
packed the line with Democrats, who, when their
votes were challenged hurriedly got away. Rep
resentatives of the Schurmann side deny having
received Tammany assistance, although admitting
that Alderman Smith and Assemblyman Wissig
were personally friendly to them.
