Democratic primary elections for the choice
OF officers Of the various wards and town as
soclations Of Kings county and delegates to
the General Committee were held yesterday
The interest manifested at most OF the gath
erings showed that tho recent defeat at the
hands OF the Republican. Mugwump combina-
ton has not depressed the rank and file OF the
party, and there was every indication that
before another election comes around the reg
mlar Democracy will be again In excellent
lighting trim.
Many of the old ward lenders voluntarily re-
tired In Difference to the clearly expressed de-
sire for new blood in the managoni ent, and In
few cases they were turned down" at tho
primaries.
A larger aggregate vote was roled at last
nights primaries than ut any FOR several years.
and In some wards there were from 500 to 900
voters in line for an hour Mt n time.
Not single delegate was elected who ia be-
lleved TO entertain tho least Rntagonism to
Hugh Mclaughlin. Although no man in
brooklyn feels more deep rcgret than Mr.. Nc
LauEhln over the late political revolution. he
has no idea whatever of retiring from the head
OF the organization.
Tho new General Committee will meet for
organization next month. Measures will then
be adopted to solidify the ranks and throw the
doors Wide open for the disconnected elements
OF the party.

The instructions to Mr. Brown for correspond
Ing with Mr.. Williams are very specific.

THE Algerian" The change 10 one that is
not to the best interest OF persons who are
anxious to hear good comic opera, for what
ever the deficiencies may be. The Algerian"
is a better opera than its predecessor in the
list Of Mr.. Reginald de Koven's works.
Tho Interpretation Of the opera last night
was not Illuminating. The principal female
role fell to Miss Lilly Post. o performer who
may always be expected to do for part what
ever experience and training can accomplish.
But there are other qualities that one ex-
poets to find in the impersonation Of a
character which relies much ON the charm
OF freshness aud youth to find sympathy with
an audience. Mr.. Frederick solomon and Mr..
III. W. Frederick had the com miseratton OF
the audience in their struggle with the doleful
humor OF the text. Mr.. Gerald Gerome sang
the music OF the Count Huioto with tenor
voIco OF agreeable quality. and Mr.; Hubert
Wilke acted with So much selt-consciousness
that nobody was surprised that he had no
time TO devote to his singing.
As the rather small chorus was equal to Its
work Yocally. and also to the more eXacting
anatomical demands Of it's costuminR. 1t may
be considered one OF the most successful feat
ures OF the performance.
