STRONG gROOKLYN CANDIDATES

Tire candidates named by the Republicans OF
Brooklyn for city and county Offices as well AZ
the men nominated in the various districts Tor
Congress and Assembly. deserve the active.
earnest and energetic support Of all our party
friends on the further side Of the East RIVER.
TIE TRIBUNE has already spoken OF the duty
and responsibility OF brooklyn Republicans III
connection with the Presidential election. What
tncy did in 1888 j. we'll remembered, and the
splendid work then accomplished should be
Duplicated this year Is there any reason why
il cannot be? None whatever, if the Rcpub-
licans in every ward do their duty with DIN
scnCc and carnc>tness The registration thus
far indicates Il large degree OF interest IN p0-
lt.cal affairs. and the Republican wards are
ing their share. Beyond doubt, the Rcpub-
leans Of Blooklyn, by keeping the Democratic
plurality down b. 1900 four years ago, made
the carrying of the state possible. Let them
NOT fail 20 do ~ much in ;hc present election.
The excellent local nominations will be IN
inn oitant help in this direction. The strong
ct reasons exist for placing the District -Mt1r-
ne, : oliico IN Republican hands this year. II

Ridgvay. and. CONTRARY to all precedent, he

mt t. the monopolzing Of this Office for twelve
year, 10y a single man The Republicans have
nominated FIR Di>trict-Attoincy George +.
Elliott. one OF the bc>t-knoWn lawyers Of the
city. who is well qualified 10 administer the
Office in the best interests OF the people at large.
He ha, had u large practice IN the criminal
count. and has served ~ counsel 10 the Health
Department. In his canvass he deserves the
support not only Of all Republicans, but OF
oycry citizen who is dissatisfied with the dom
nation of Boss Mclaughlin and the men by
whom be surrounds himself. kidgway is one
Of these favortcs, and there arc the weshilest
II reasons for defeating him.
It is not often that the people Of Brooklyn
have the privilege of voting for candidate
of 80 excellent reputation as a man and az
citizen as Camden c. Dixie, the Republican can
ddatc for City Controller, possesses Mr. Dixie
has lived in Brooklyn for nearly half a century,
and is thoroughly identified with it, He is in
~ sense Of the words politician or a seeker
for political honors. The nomination came to
him unSought. but he was willing to accept
IT. and, If elected. will devote himself earnestly
and unscliShIy 90 the duties 0f his Office. iS
Controller he will be in Il position 10 do for
Br.oklyn what Frederick A. Schroeder did
nearly twenty years ago. The oi.co needs such
2 man u, Mr. Dixie rather than representative
of the Mclaughlin ring. The Di>trict-Attor-
ncyship and the Controership arc the most
important local offices to bc filled this year.
The other Republican candidates, however are
not less worthy Of support than Mr.. Elliott and
Mr. bike. Ring rule has oppressed brooklyn
long enough. BY gallant and united effort
il can bo cast Off, and ut the same time in
valuable assistance can be rendered by its
public spirited citizens in behalf Of Rcpub
lean triumph in the Empire State. The other
ffly-nine counties expect every Republican in
Kngs - do his duty.
