FOR THE WITH DISTRICT

FOR THE WITH DISTRICT
There was disappointment and wailng and gnash-
ing OF teeth al the Republican headquarters, at No.
200 Joralemon-st.. yesterday afternoon when the
members OF the Executive Committee OF the Kings
County General Republican Committee assembled
10 hear the report OF Michael J. Dady in regard to
the patronage Of the Registers office. OF which
James +. Howe becomes the head on January /.
AS has been reported. Regster-elect Howe has
reserved thirty OF the best places in his Office for
the With Congress District which lies in the East
District This leaves only twenty-six place. for
the rest OF the organization. and not good ones at
that Michael ]. Dady. the chairman Of the Execu-
tive Committee. instructed to Mr. Howe
and induce him TO make more equitable distri-
button Of the plums. BY agreement Mr. Dady met
Mr.. Howe at headquarters at o'clock yesterday
afternoon. The Register-elect was not moved by
Mr.. Dady's plea for the other leaders" At
o'clock. when the members OF the Executive Com
mittee assembled. Mr.. Dady had little encourage
ment TO offer to them. The leaders who are happy
are those In the Eastern District, Philip Williams.
Alfred T. Hobley and Harry Jscquillard All others
exceedingly angry.
In one particular instance the Register-elect
forced to yield point. Michael J. Dady insisted
that Jesse D. Frost Of the Twenty-arst Ward.
should have good place. Mr. Howe said
Then Dady threatened 10 zee that Philip Williams
was removed from his good berth IN Commissioner
se9 i5sTen e SGe bJorb ahG M a' uope d Ds
and IT was decided that Mr. Frost could become
First Assistant Deputy Register, at salary OF
s. 900 year.
In the committee meeting some bitter speeches
were made. Harry Hanbury told his colleagues
that they could not blame Mr.. Howe.
I'VE have been sawdUsted again" said Mr.. Han
bury. We might have known better. Mr. Howe
has only followed the example set by Commissioner
OF Records Waldo. II had any sense
would make a combine tion and seize bunch Of
places just as these men from the Eastern District
have done"
II is understood that John J. McInness will get
the place OF chattel mortgage clerk, at salary OF
500 year. Richard Bennett will also get place
on the demand OF Naval officer Sharkcy.

SILVER BRICK CASE
MAY Be INSTITUTED
Conference of Silver Men to Con-
slider the Measure.
NO FINAL PLANS ADOPTED
Two Gases Pending Involving Same
PrincipIe-Senator Morgan Will As
sist in Fight Without Compensa-
ton Meeting Monetary League

Denver, Colo, December 24.-Judge A. w.
he conferred with a number of leading sill
yer men of the country concerned in the
silver brick suit, which is to be carried into
the supreme court of the United States.
The judge says no final plan was adopted,
as 1t is necessary to consult with others be-
fore the movement is put under way. He
found many democrats in sympathy with
the idea, but Mr.. Bryan is yet to be heard
from.
Judging by expressions of prominent
men who came to st. Louis to talk over the
question" said the judge, the feeling is
quite strong for the measure. It was shown
that two suits are now pending, one from
Michigan and the other from Illinois, in
which perhaps the same principles are to
be decided in the case which has been I'M
der discussion. I was invited to go to
Washington and appear before the supreme
court in those cases. 1t is possible the
whole question may he determined in the
opinions in the cases now pending. Sena-
tor Morgan, of Alabama, and George Fred
Williams, of Massachusetts,, have volun-
teered to assist in the legal fight without
compensation, and Others are eager to do
the same thing. 1t is necessary, however,
to raise money for the expense of the suit,
and that is the question to be decided
soon.''
Judge Rucker is president of the Moneta-
ry League, and has called a meeting of the
league to be held in this city next Tuesday
evening, when the methods of procedure
will be discussed, and also the best means
of raising money for the work. The indi-
cations are that if new case is instituted
it will not be commenced in the name of
the state of Colorado. The ground taken is
that congress has no right under the con-
stitution to demonetize either gold or sill
yer; therefore the act of 1873 is void. Judge
Rucker says he is receiving scores of let
tiers from all parts of the country endors-
ing the movement
