The Police Board disposed Of q lot of election
contests yesterday, most of them in a summary
manner. Pretty nearly everything and every.
body were protested by some one, but the some
one didn't appear to back up his protest in
nineteen cases out ofSstwenty. In a few cases
the protestAnts came to withdraw their OBJ
~jections. Most OF these had been passed upon
al sadly by the board, or BY the courts in other
cases. and so were got over easily. Ono protest in
tho Eleventh Assembly district was built upon

In Brooklyn.
The: Brooklyn Democrats held their first no
table meeting in the present campaign In the
Academy Of Music last night The demonstra-
ton was not an encouraging one. There were
mother the surging crowds nor the rousing en-
thusiasm which 30 long invariably accom-
panied the formal Inauguration Of the CAM
paignp In that city. At 1880 o'clock the build
ing was only half filled, and three-quarters of
an hour later, when tho proceedings began,
there were still some vacant seats in the top
gallery. The platform and aL:the boxes were
filled, but at the same time there was an omin-
Gus absence Of some Of the solid old warehouses
Of tho party. The yells for Henry George. as
well rs some CHI herring for Patrick Jerome
Gleason at tho casual mention OF their names
by e1-Surrogate Abram II. DALEY, were not
inspiring Incidents. The warm reception ten

volume Of cheers which his name e,.cited in
comparison, with those for Judge Van Wyck.
wsro probably the most significant features of
tho meeting.
The Hon. Perry Belmont. who advocated the
cause Of sound money and denounced Bry apism
and reputation from the same platform last
year. was the first speaker. He began by say

selves unsuitable. Mr.. George Is in theoreti-
cal political economy and sociology an eX-
pert, but he has never exhibited the qualities
or instincts OF q lawyer and executive officer.
Were he Mayor.he would be, in tho presence Of
tho selhshness and venality thronging tho City
Hall, like clay in the potter's fingers. His
single yearly tax scheme could lot be worked
in this city because no tax yaluers could ever
appreise the market value of city lots when the
Dutch first came"
Of the Cts Union candidate Mr.. Belmont
said:
HE has not thus far In the pending city CAM
paign displayed as much dignity and self-re-
spect In personal utterance as has Mr.. George.
1t Is not credible that Mr.. George, had he been
the head master of Columbia College, would
have set such an example to the students as
sembled there of false premises, bad logic, du-
plcity, hypocrisy, cant, and utter absence of
candor IN dealing with tho two great political
parties Of our country"
This was Mr.. Belmont's tribute to Gen. Ben
jamin F. Tracy. the stalwart leader of the Re-
publican hosts:
"Gen. Tracy's mental qualifications arc in
disputable. He is q lawyer and is u good one.
He In a quarter of q century older than Mr..
Low and has that much more OF general knowl-
edge and experience"

to force American labor to compete with the
