KINGS COUNTY POLITICS.
The Reorganization ofthc Republican Forces
Nearly Completed.

Nearly Completed.
The final stage in tho reorganization Of tho
Republican forces in Kings county will be
reached on Tuesday night. when the delegates
from tho ward associations to the County Com
mittee will meet and choose officers. The to-
tai number OF the delegates 30 far elected is
96, but when fully equipped the total number
of representatives in that body will be 104.
The General Committee had over 800 MEM
bers.
It 10 expected that the reduction in the size
OF the committee will result in better party
management. and do away with the bitter
sauabblng which characterized the old body.
Tho turning down OF Revenue Collector Ernst
Nathan, and his disappearance as well rs that
OF his lieutenants, from active participation in
tho reorganization movement. leaves Election
Commissioner Jacob Worth the virtual boss
in the organization. 1t Is Dir. Worth s inten-
ton, it Is said, to have ". J. Quilting. the
young leader in tho Fifth ward. reelected
Chairman OF the County Committee. Some OF
the delegates. however, are opposed to the re-
tention OF Mr.. Buttling at the head OF the
ommittce and Mr.. Horace f. Dresser, an ex-
membor OF the Board OF Education may DO
Put up as their candidate against Mr.. Worth's
man.
Just what Mr. Nathan and his followers are
going to do outside the breRstworks" is q
matter for conjecture for they are lying very
low at present but 1t is not improbable that
they will start an independent organization
and do good deal in tho way OF disruption
