To the Editor Of The Tribune
Sir. To your recent articles illustrating the peril
IN which the action Of Mr.. Platt and his servants
have placed both the State and National election you
might well have added the condition of feeling
among Brooklyn Republicans at the prospect OF
forced consolidation. Setting aside all that may DE
termed sentiment or unsupported allegations there
remain certain hard facts that VIII assume great
rrom,nence II this scandalous piece OF political mis-
chief Is consummated
Although the rate Of taxation here is high 1t can
no reduced only by increasing the assessments-not
q dollar will be expended on this side OF the river
from, the treasury Of New-York. All money spent
an this side of me river must be raised here The
matter is one that cannot be regulated at Albany
And we may add that. high as taxes are hVihg III
Frooklyn is far less expensive than In New-iork.
The decision of an election by small majority Is
fair enough. as the people will have the remedy In
,he,r own hands al a subsequent election But con-
.o,idaton once effected Will be hnal-and TO force
such consolidation without the consent OF a de-
c,sive majority OF the people concerned Is an out
rage Iutffs instance the nominal consent OF only
one-third Of the voters can be claimed, ana many
,ho thouehtessly voted yes in 1894 have now
..roed their minds, and oppose consolidation al
,oo.,ber Again. the action taken at the polls In
1904 WAS laid before the Legislature elected at that
Tim. and no action deemed expedient And no
LEGISLATURE subsequently elected should act upon
the question without appeal to the people.

the utter disregard and Indifference which have been
shown for the opinions of the honest. stra.ghfor-

whose votes are essential to Republican victory,
have aroused this class of eectors to sense oi
their absolute disfranchisement under the system
