Broekiyn Democrats Make UP Their County
slate and Leave Nsu Out In the Cole.

The Democratic managers In Brooklyn were
not overlooking with enthusiasm yesterday at
the outcome OF the City Convention, but all de-
clared that the ticket would be supported heart
lily. They also predicted that 1t would grow
in strength every hour. and that they could
give n substantial addition to the big majority
which Tammany Hall was going to roll up. Mr..
Mclaughlin, the veteran leader OF tho organ
izati n, also expressed his confidence that tho
strength OF the ticket would BIO steadily devel-
oped as the campaign advanced.
With the Greater New York nominations dis
posed OF. Mr.. Mclaughlin was kept busy ycster-
day in adjusting tho claims OF the rival candi-
dates for the rich prizes to be distributed by the
County Convention tonight. For months there
has been II keen fight within the organization
for the places on the county ticket, and at one
time it looked as IL 1t might result In a %factional
squabble. There were even suggestions of the
possibility of forming q combination to contest
the sovereignty OF Mr.. Mclaughlin. Yesterday
afternoon there was a positive announcement
from n reliable source that the county slate was
made up thus:
For sherir-Frank D. Dreamer of the T. enty. fourth
ward.
For R~esister-Henry II. HaEscrty of the Eleventh
For clerk-Dr. william p. wuest of the sixteenth
ward.
For Tressurer-John W. Kimoall of the Twenty.
For President Of the Bo~rough-Edward M. Circuit of
the Twt nty, second ward.
For District Attorney-Jo.ia T. Marean of the First
ward.
For coroners-Dr. Anthony Burger of the Twenty.
ward.
Civil, Justice Jacob Neu was, probably the
most disgruntled man in Brooklyn, whom no
ono Of the first three places on the ticket.
He had been banking al along on his
popniarityi as demmon sn in the S,,, dis,
sure winner either of Sheriff or Register.
He threatened to bolt the ticket IL the leaders
psrsiS,ed in their purpose to Tb refuse him some
FIFTY. the, Brooklyn annex to the Citizens'
Union, on learning OF Justice Neu's hostile stti-
tude, rendered him, II Is said, the nomination
he might accept it..
The nomocratic leaders have been anxious to
m the ssn aiTSrd for NJ, P SssIRanrat; OF Th the 4 Sd in marG Sss
a cable despatch received from him yesterday
said that he could not accept that or any other
office.
William c. De Witt also declined the place.
Tho Democratic Executive Commi tee. Of
which Bernard j. York is Chairman. had a
headquarters. Warden Patrick Hayes, who has
been in the thick of the fight for one OF the big
offices, was on hand AS q committeeman, and de-
the sponge. and he then set forth his claims for
recognition, based. on his lifelong devotion to
the interests of the Democratic organization.
He spoke with considerable bitterness about
certain influence" which had been instru-
mental in turning him down, and positively de-
clingd to wi hdIaw AS a candidate:
light it out In the convention"
Unlike Justice Neu, however, he made no
threats about CASTING in his lot With tho Sits'
Register tonight, he wifi probably, be backed
by Senator Cotfey, John Delmar. Alderman Nc.
GarFy e. and 16e P Ss h R psIiel R G.,ssS who s0n RTt
the slate. as outlined above, is not likely to be
disturbed.
