wbicb 7 do not consider him capable. He Will
certainly reply within two weeks, and II Is sa'e
to assume now that his answer VIII be IN 'he
affirmative. Then we shall begin the liveliest
kind Of canvass for him. which VIII attain
such momentum by September - that the Re-
publican convention will be unable to ignore IL
and nominate anybody else without becoming re-
sponsible for the success OF the entlre anu
Tammany canvass. We can show the waVerihs
Republican leaders in Brooklyn that MT. 10"
is so strongly favored here that they VIII never
dare to work against him. and If they tried to do
so they would fail utterly. Mr. Low is more than
half Brooklynl:e and this borough Will not
miss the opportunity to gain from his watchlui-
ness for its interests Of which we would he
assured.
81 believe that Mr. Quigg will find an oppor-
tunItv TO slip gracefully from the position in
which he has placed himself before many days.
Rather than face the certainty or an over
whemng defeat from top to bottom or MS ticket.
he will be inclined to cOncede the nrst pIace Oh
the ticket and satisfy himself with the half-dozen
rich pums which will go with it.
MR. ORR PLEASED.
Alexander E. Orr. one of the members of The
Committee of Fifty who favored an immediate
nomination by the Union said last evening or
the nomination made by the Union:
personally am most pleased with the action
taken by the Union. and. speaking Tor the com
mittee of Fifty can say that we shall let no
grass grow under our feet in pushing Mr.. Low
candidacy Il must he clearly understood that
the only difference we have had with the Union
was as to the method Of putting Mr. Low III
nomination. We have all been most enthusiastic
in wishing him To be the antl-rammany candi,
date That difference has now been settled ana
our next work will be to organize the campaign
for him"
Mr. Orr saws he has received no information
as 10 the probable reception Mr.. Low will give
the Unions nomination. He had heard ho,hhR
about it in any of the conferences NJ mas az
tended this week. and he believes that much
that has been said purporting to have come RON
President Low has not been authorized by Ihe
latter.

Ey.MAYoR sCHIEREN DISAPPOINTED.
rx-uavor Charles a. Schieren was plainly

him by n reporter As a member OF the Com

A solid union OF forces against IhnIhahy. IN
situation in Brooklyn Is entirety dinereht from
What II seems TO be in New-York. The Eeiup-
ucan leaders here. with only one or TWO eA"I
tons are heartily In favor OF nominating MI
Low for the Mayoralty. There Is no unuo' ~
my mind that almost a solid Delegation ~
Brooklyn in favor OF Mr. Low can be "btalned
in time for the Republican convention. Inc

will be had between all the Independent in2 we
