SUNDAY.
Constitution Likely to Bs Under
Sail That Day From Present
Indications.

Progress on repairing the mainmast OF
the Constitution at Bristol continues quite
brisk and as a result nearly every plate
is now fitted on the angle frames. The
riveters made good headway last night
and had no sooner finished their round
OF work than II was taken up by the day
men.
The job Of making the new topmast and
spreaders Is kept up on even pace with
the work Of plating on the mast The OBJ
ject of having all the gear ready at the
same time is the point sought for
Mr.. Nat Herreshoff now believes ne can
see his way clear to having the repairs
completed a little sooner than was at first
anticipated.
From present appearances 10 is thought
that the mast will be stepped in time TO
give the Constitution spin on Saturday
next. That is the goal towards which
operations are being conducted at the
works
IL the Constitution goes out again next
Saturday there Is strong probability that
the Columbia, which Is now In the harDor'
will also be found under sail the same
day. No racing has been planned between
the boats on that occasion, but if every
thing proceeds as at present In regard TO
the fitting OF both boats, they may nave
their first brush I'm the lower bay on that
day.
A few more of the Constitutions sailors
returned 10 their places this morning.
The club topsail spars Of the boat are
being vanished and other small work is
being done about the decks. Capt. Char
ley Barr set his men at work on un-
bending the boats mainsail. this morn
ing Soon afterwards II was rolled up
and taken ashore TO the Herreshoff sail
loft 20 be overhauled.
Part OF the crew OF the old boat were
engaged in painting the crafts topsides
this morning The remaining members OF
the crew were busy about deck fixing the
small sails. painting. and otherwise re-
touching the small spars so as TO have
everything ship-shape.

OF non-partisan municipal government.
Seth Low, on being introduced. said nom
partlsanship in municipal affairs was the
cornerstone of the platform on which he
stood. He referred to his opponent Ed
ward NJ. Shepard, as being inconsistent in
his course concerning city affairs.
When Mr.. Low mentioned Deputy Super
intendent of Police Deverys name and re-
marked that he had been asked if i'm the
event of his election he would remove
DeVery he said:
IF il had been asked seriously / would
take ii as an affront.
This brought great applause. which was
followed by another outburst when Mr..
Low said IL elected he would see that the
ocial heads of Commissioner Murphy
and Deputy Devery would roll upon the
floor as soon after January as possible
MI Low said with reference to the rank
ana file of the police department that he
would give them head who would treat
them fairly.
At O'Clock in the afternoon the follow
ing county and borough slate was given
out at Tammany Hall by a close friend of
Croker, with the assurance that IL would
go through, with possibly one or two
changes:

County clerk-George H. Fahrbach

are threatening to make trouble for the
Croker ticket. 1t was learned Yesterday
afternoon that they had sent letters to
Croker and Shepard asking them IL they
We're still true to Bryan and why the Chi
cago platform was not mentioned in the
platform adopted by the democratic city
convention. No answers have been re-
ceived, and the Bryanites threaten TO re-
pudiate the Croker ticket They argue
that Mr.. Shepard himself took the ground
that this is party fight, not a non-parti-
san municipal contest, and that therefore
the democracy should stand by the ma
tional platform.
