BROOKLYN WOULD BE DELIGHTED.

New York. November l6.--Followins the
arrival OF Richard Croker and senator
Platt's reading out Of the republican party
Of the 10000 voters who supported tho
candidacy Of Seth Low in the Greater New
York campaign came two political sensa-
ions. The two party machines were each
responsible for Que.
From republican Headquarters IN the
Fifth Avenue hotel came the announcement
tnat TammSny Hall would be deprived OF
all the fruits OF Its recent victory by The
sample process OF reyoking the charter
OF Greater New York, which would re-
establish the governments in the combined
cities as they existed before the charter
was granted.
From Tammany Hall the announcement
was made that Alton B. Parker. who car
ried the State for chief Judge of the court
OF appeals against SO popular a man as
Judge Wallace, would be started along the
rosy path travelled by Grover Cleveland.
In a word, 1t is the intention Of the demo-
Gratis to have Judge Parker make the race
next year for governor. and the morning
after election, should he again be success
full to open his boom for the presid sncy.
The plan to revoke the charter OF the
greater city has been limited at several
times, but today found many discussing 1t
as something not only feasible, but alto
gether probable. Who started the story
on It's rounds Gould not be learned. There
seemed TO be an agreement among certain
| republican politicians TO start discussion,
probably To determine the temper OF the
people and learn whether such action would
be safe. There were many who would be
willing to say that the republican icgisla-
| ture could not do a more popular thing than
take away the charter. and here can lie
no question as to its power.
