G.. 0. P. FIGHT IN BROOKLYN.
PJhTT AVID ANTI PLAT MEN
STRIVING FOR MAsTERY.

Mayor Schiercn TO Appeint Two Anti
Pintt Republicans and Two shepard
Democrats to the Election Board.
The Republican leaders in Brooklyn. as well
as the rank and file of tho party. are rapidly be-
coming divided Platt and anti-Platt lines,
and all the indications point to squabblo be-
tween them over the nominations to be made in
the fall. The Platt wing 10 represented by the
most adroit politicians in the organization. the
conspicuous leaders being ex-senator Jacob
Worth, sheriff Buttlins, John A. Nichols. and
W. W. Goodrich.
Ex-Naval Onicer Theodore b. Willis directs
the unti-Platt forces, and he has some we'll
trained lieutennnts in his service. There 10 no
doubt also that Mayor Schieren Is Interested in
seeing the downfall OF the Plntt regime accom-
plishcd. and tha, he and all the members OF his
Cabinet aro doing all III their power to push
Worth and Buttling to the wall.
Tho Mayor is straining every nervo to accom-
plish the defeat of the bill for the reorEaniza-
ton of the Charities Department, and thus ad-
minister n crushing blow to the ambition OF Mr..
Worth TO be the sole head Of that bureau. The
bill is on it's passage through the Senate. having
already passed smoothly through tho A Assemb bly,
and some of the best posted politicians are con-
fident That 1t will reach the Governor. Should
1t do so, Mayor Schiercn would lead delegation
to Albany to urge the Governor to veto 1t.
Mr.. Worth has made up his mind that he " Ill
have to retire from the Board of Elections at the
close of tho month"; realizing tnat Mayor Sche-
rem who has the sole appointing power, would
give his claims no consideration whatever.
There are four Election Commissioners to be
named on or before May /. and. according to the
law. they must be evenly divided between the
two leading political organizations.
1t is generally believed that in his selection of
the Democratic mem bers of the Board Mayor
Subiercn will give the Shepard organization
recognition and that his choice Of the two Re-
publican Comm ssioners will be limited to the
anti-Platt brigade.
That the Mayor will take no steps to aid in
healing the breach in the Republican ranks is
taken for granted, and that the faction sQuabblo
will continue until the time for nominating can
ddates comes around lie Just as certain.
The County Committee will hold its regular
monthly meeting Tomorrow night, and the
Eighth ward contest will como up for settle
ment. 1t will afford fine opportunity for a
fight between tho rival delegates. The result
will go far to determine which side controls tho
committee
Meanwhile the regular Democrats and the
Shepardites are quietly strengthening their
lines and getting themselves in shape for a COM
bined attack on the common enemy In Novenl-
ber. Each body will continue It's own distinct
organization. but no future political event can
be more certain than that both will unite in sup
port Of the same candidates. The name OF Mr..
Edward NJ. Shepard still continues to occupy
the foremost place in the list OF probable candi-
dates for Mayor.

SPLIT AMONG THE GARoos.

Wants to Hitch to Grace.

Added to the troubles which the Garoos havo
because of the lack of appreciation OF their
strength and usefulness as political factor on
the part of Mayor Strong and Republican Com
missioners is n lively little row within their or
ganzation. This internal war affects the con-
troll of tho CARGO General Committee. Sheriff
Tamsen, with Herman Ridder at his back, is tho
leader OF one faction ana Internal Revenue Col
lector Edward Gosse is commander-in chief OF
the opposition. The fight for control will come
at the meeting OF the General Committee to be
held in Maennerchor Hall. in East Fifty-ffth
street. on the night OF April II.
Tamsen represents the principle OF maintain
ing the GarOos as an independent Democrat ic
organization with the object of making the
German American voters special power in
politics and forcing recognition OF them in the
way of patronage.
Tho crosse factionists say that RidderS and his
man Tamscn have made sad failure OF their
efforts In that direction thus far, for. although
the organization secured thousands of votes for
Col. strong. they have not been able to get the
least bit of patronage through the Mayor or any
of his appOintees. The Crosse men hold that
the Garoos ought 10 ally themselves with tho

For ten years." said a well-informed Rspub-
lican, the Democratic party in New York state
has been borne down to defeat by the Mug

test went up from the Democratic leaders. At
least they did not speak until after their party
had been wrecked Now this Same crowd has
fastened to- our party, and we do not propose to
be smashed without n word of protest. Senator
Platt Is right in his utterances concerning these
Ref0rmers They do not wish to build up Their
idea is to pull down. We propose to throw Off
these barnacles, and compel them to flock by
themselves. The principles Of the Republican
and Democratic party are good enough for fight

In fact, the daily prayer of the Republicans is
that tho Mugwumps and Reformers will or

primaries, II county and State committee

their own State Convention and claw one

The Democrats at the Hoffman House arc

Suspended for tho Occasion by Streamern

The new bell recently given to the Monastery
OF the Precious Blood, OH Putnam avenue,
Brooklyn, was blessed by r-General McNa-
mara yesterday in the presence of n large con-
grcgation. The bell, which weighs 200 pounds.
and has n clear, mellow tone, was suspended
from framework in the now chapel by strcam-
ors OF red. white and blue, and all around it was
q mass of the same colors. Before tho ceremony
began the altar boys and twelve little girls, clad
in white. marched up the aisle OF the chapel and
stood near tho bell. After them came the four
teen sponsors. Then tho choir of st. Stephcn's
Church sang the lnfamatus, after which the
blessing began. Father Mcnamara was assisted
by the Rev. Father Doyle of the Paulist Fathers
and the Rev. Father Il. III, Porcilc
The he'll was first washed with holy water
both inside and out. so that IT might become a
clean instrument of holy religion. Then 1t was
anointed with oil and chrisin, after tho man
ner OF amounting child at baptism, the holy
oil signifying the power of the Holy Ghost, and
the chrism dcnotinx the gracious merits OF
Christ. During the ceremony psalms were said
and prayers were recited BY the priests, asking
ishment of sloth from the faithful; also II short
ening OF the time of suffering of tho souls In
purgatory as often as the bell 10 tOlled In their
memory.
In addition to the first JUNCTION. tho new he'll
was nnointed seven times on the outside with
oil, and four times ON tho inside with chrism.
The latter Is said TO denote that the sound OF
the bell is to go forth TO the fOur points OF tho
compass to remind all OF the holy mysteries of
religion. Finally the uncovered censer contain
ing burning incense was placed beneath the bell,
symbolzing the prayers to which 1t is to call the
faithful.
The sermon was preached by tho Rev. Father
Doyle. who said that the blessing Of the bell
made 1t the voice of God. AT the conclusion of
