QUIGG DEFENDS HIS COURSE.

Lemuel +. Qugg. Chairman OF the Republican
County Committee gave out long statement last
night I'm which he defended his course in the recent
campaign in the city. He first contended that hold
ing local elections at times apart from State or
National elections was mistake, and pointed out
that more than forty-seven thousand electors who
voted for Governor in 1888 neglected to go to the
polls this year II had been charged. he said. tha
the local Republican organization was weak and
ineffectuaL" He denies this and says that the Re
publican organization succeeded in getting out 50
per cent Of the vote cast for Governor last year
10 vote this year. while the Tammany organization
only succeeded in getting out trifie under 81 per
cent.
He contrasted the organizations and said that the
Republicans had 40 Offices. no patronage and were
held together by mo other tie than political senti-
ment" Tammany's control OF the public treasury
ena bled t to expend $50 10000 annually I'm supplies
and labor" He defended the labor allies and de-
clared that while they seemed 10 accomplish little
thev really accomplished much and did receive
500 votes lie then went on to say that the only
hope for Republican success In this city was fusion
fusion warmly and said that the Republican party
I'm the last election took step in the right direc-
ton With the aid Of the independent voters alone
could the Republican organization hope TO win.

TROLLEY BUILDING STOPPED.

PLACES WHERE THE WORK MUST WAIT
UNTIL. LEGAL QUESTIONS
ARE SETTLED.
Trolley building in Westchester County for the
first time in several years is now at a standstill
and the companies have gone to court to determine
II they can keep the streets through which they
have pushed their way against the protests or the
prOperty owners. At least three important tangles
are TO be fought before further progress can be
made in connecting their lines. One Is at Rye,
where the Port Chester Electric Railroad Company,
which lacks only one hundred feet OF completion, is
stopped by injunctions which IL will take several
months 70 adjudcate Another obstacle has arisen
at Bronxville, the only place through which the
Union Railway has not secured a franchise FOR us
line between Mount Vernon and White Plains The the
courts must decide which company has the legal
right build. but it may be several years before
decision Is reached.
In Larchmont Manor there is scheme to defeat
the "Huckleberry' Railway in its attempt TO seize
the Boston Post Road for a connection between
It's lines in Mamaroneck and New Rochelle. A
franchise has been asked for by the Larchmont
Horse Railroad Company hearing on the appli-
cation Is 10 be given at LarchmOnt on December 8

THTRD.ATE. TAKES ITS TIME.
WORKMEN MAKING THE CHANGE FROM
CABLE TO TROLLEY IN LEIS-
T-REIY MANNER

In giving notice Of the temporary stoppage OF the
car service Thrd-ave. from the Postonice 10
Slxty-ffth-st. In order 10 complete the work or
eouipplng the road with electricity, the directors
of the company announced that the delay In the
traffic would be only FOR a short time" The Idea
that the general public thought was being con-
veyed to them by this notice was that the inter-
ruption would be only for a few hours. But the
Third Avenue company's officials do not compute
time as does the average individual. nor do they
pay regard to the comfort or convenience OF tne
travelling public. That much has been maze EVIL
dent in the reprehensible suggishness with Wnlch
they have carried on the Amsterdam-ave. WORK
The same thing was made evident again yesterday
In the section Of the Third-ave. line between the
Postofiioe and Sxty-hfth-st. So far from the cars
being stopped only for a short time, the system
was not in operation at late hour last night, ana
again for probably twenty-four hours. and maybe
longer unless the laborers compelled to EXHIBIT
more energy than they displayed yesterday.
The eisurely way In which they were permitted
10 do their work would have been amusing had II
not been exasperatng. One man who was engaged
I'm fastening a screw was timed by the clock 10
occupy nearly twenty minutes before IL was ad-
iusted to his abstraction In scores or instances
two men were employed in manipulating a small
drill that could easily have been worked by ten
where the men were at work there seemed a studi-
Gus desire to spend much time possible upon
making the necessary changes instead OF showing
the expedition that the public has right to expect
one Of the overseers In charge OF the men en-
ployed near the Postoffce asked last night by
a Tribune reporter how long II would be before the
line would be open again.
May be day may be two. and praps more,
was his indefinite reply And yet the directors OF
the company advertised that the stoppage would
be only for "a short time
