Accompanying the turning down Of Col.
Michael j. Dady as the boss Of the Third ward
forces by the Republican County Committee In
Brooklyn. q few nights ago. was the declaration
Of that versatile statesman, that the rsvolu-
ton has begun" 1t was clear from his other
remarks that he wished the triumphant Worth
faction to understand that his dethrouement
would mark the limit OF Republican supremacy
and the return OF the Democracy TO power.
Neither Mr.. Worth, however. nor any of his
lieutenants seem to have any serious apprehen-
sion that the crisis. predicted by Mr.. Dady. 10

rival Willis faction, whenever there is n an oppor.

who has looked out for the interests Of Mr..
Willis In the Second ward. has been doomed to
the same kind Of discipline which Mr.. Dady has
experienced In the Third. Mr.. Casey is ac-
cused Of fragrant violation Of the Constitution.
but In reality his offence has been his activity
in the Willis faction. Mr.. worth's sway over
the Republican organization In Brooklyn 10
more complete than that OF any other man In
the entire history Of the party. and. unless there
10 some remarkable change In the situation. his
faction will control all the important local
nominations TO be made next fall, and also In

territory In the distribution OF the great politi-
cal prizes for the Greater New York.

leader. Mr.. Kaltenbach. and almost the entire
Twentieth ward deleR alton In the County Com

Woodruff claims the chief credit for putting
Mr.. Worth In the saddle and 10 really pulling
the machine wires from Albany. In fact. even
some OF Mr.. Wortb's friends. II is said. are be-
ginning to Kick At the predominating influence
OF Mr.. Woodruff in the management Of the party
and to show n certain resentment against II.
The Willis people make no concealment what
ever OF Tho fact that at the proper time they will
give willing aid In the calling down Of the pic
turesaus young statesman Of the Park slope.
The Democratic situation In Brooklyn pre-
sents n marked contrast to that OF the q. u. y.
The various elements In the organization are
all outspoken In favor OF a policy Of concilia-
ton and n complete abandonment Of the fac
tional sQuabbles which have prevailed for tho
past three years In oil directions there have
been unmistakable. evidences of this pacific
spirit and II will probably find official CT pression
at the meeting OF the County Committee to-
morrow night.
While there is no intention whatever Of unit

Greater New York contests. there should he q

crisis, but II is said by some Of his most trusted
associates that In no possible circumstances
will no be willing to abandon his organization
