were decisive. They say that the majority for
consolidation then was only 2T, and that the
most vital question that can affect municipality
should not be decided on such an insignificant
basis They assert also. that the majority in the
old part OF the city was against consolidation. and
that only by taking In the outlying districts was
the inconsiderable majority of 277 attained They
say that only third Of the people OF Brooklyn
voted for immediate and unqualified consolida-
tion while nearly one-third voted against con-
eolidation and the remaining third OF Brooklyn's
great body OF voters silent on the subject
and did not vote at all on a proposition hastily
and vaguely presented to them. These earnest
workers of the Loyal League say that IT would
be ridiculous and Infamous thus to put away
lightly the most important question which could
possibly affect Brooklyn-the elimination OF her
own identity. which they call municipal suicide.
These arguments. and others as strong. will be
brought forth at to-nght's meeting with more
aimed directly at the latest reasons produced by
the consolidationIsts. Most Of these reasons have
been spoken OF at length and they have been
published in The Tribune but they are interest
