The Boody -schieren battle In Brooklyn con-
tinues to monopolze the entire attention OF
the rival political managers. All the other
issues and candidates arc almost lost sight OF
In view OF the supreme Importance OF the
struggle for the Mayoralty. 1t Is conceded on
all sides that the most the Republicans can
hope for. outside tho Mayoralty. are one
Senator and two or three Assemblymen. Some
OF the new managers Of the Republican can
vass, deluded by the extravagant promises OF
tho Mugwump brigade. apparently expect to
land Mr.. Schieren winner next Tuesday
night. but the old experienced heads in the
organization. who have passel through many
such contests. fully realize that the we'll
trained. solid. and united Democratic forces
are invlncible.
The Clermont avenue rink seems to have
become a regular hoodoo rallyinG point for the
Republican Mugwump ombinatlon. Two
weeks ago Mr.. scheren made a ridiculous
failure in his opening address in the cam
paign. and. on Tuesday night ex-senator
Stephen NJ. Griswold. who presided at another
meeting there. put his foot in 1t badly. Mr..
Grswold made the first public admission dur
ing tho cam paien that Mr.. Schieren had been
trcacherous to James G. Blaine In the Presi-
Dental contest Of 1894 This was what Ms
Griswold said:
Our candidate voted for Mr.. Cleveland.
But believe in Mr.. Schieran and I believe he
voted according to his conviction"
Mr. Griswold made this declaration In such
low and apologetic tone OF voice that 1t was not
heard hfteen yards beyond the platform. The
Brooklyn Times. which was one OF the most
ardent supporters Of Mr. Blaine. has all along
contended that the allegation that Mr.. Schiercn
was Mugwump in 1884 was untrue. The
open admission OF his Mugwumpism made at
the Rink has caused fresh stamp pede OF true
blue Republicans from the Schieren camp and
cast additional gloom over the Schieren head
quarters.
Tonight the Kings County Protective
League. which was organized In 1884 to help
elect Mr. Blaine. will hold an indignation
meeting at the Brooklyn Atheneum. Ex-
Judge James Rooney will preside. and speeches
will be made by some OF the stalwart Republi-
cans. The League. after endorsing all the
Republican candidates with the exception OF
Mr.. Schieren. will pledge its support to Mr..
Boody. Mr.. Schirren's managers learned yes
terday with CONSERVATION Of the proposed
meeting OF the Blaine men. and made des-
perate but vain efforts to have it stopped.
Another meeting will bo held to. night which
