organization or the Brooklyn Citizens Union. said
yesterday that a list of the men chosen 10 organ
lie the Citizens Union in each Of the tHenty-one
Assembly districts IN Kings County would be
ready TO give out tonight. Three men have heer
chosen In each district a Republican. a Democrat
and a representative of the labor element These

energies 10 further the OF good government
which Is translated 10 mean the overthrow of
Tammany Hall
The entire committee OF sixiy-three will meet
next Thursday night in the Art Association rooms.
I'm Montague-st. There viii be no discussion Of
platforms or candidates at this time. Concerning
that M Nissen said last night:
II would be a mistake at this time to commit the
Citizens Union 70 any policy except to secure
honest men for office. The selection OF candida
and the preparation of a platform should be the
subject OF conference by representatives, Of all
organizations opposed 10 Tammany For the pres
ent il will suffice 10 enroll the people under the
banner OF reform. 10 insure united action
against the present disgraceful administration.
