Ex-Mayor Charles A. Schieren remarked yester-
DAY regarding the result in Kings County and Mr.
Woodrun's explanation Of the Kings County and
New-York County vote. that Mr.. Woodruff would
do well. before criticising any one, to examine
himself Asked as 10 whether he thought Mr.
Woodru1's leadership in Kings County had caused
the Independent Republicans desert the party

There is cause for this result Mr.. Woodruff

in Kings County. He said:

F. n. Brooks chairman of the enrolled RepubN-
committee said yesterday:
The falling of OF the Republican vote in Kings
County is 10 be seriously regretted by all Repub-
hcans, and particularly by those who. constituted
the enrolled Republican primary committee. Dur
ing the campaign there was no apparent disafrec-
ton, but the result would indicate that the recent
troubles of the Republican organization had some
influence in reducing the Republican vote This is
time for making reflections criticising, but
II is be hoped that the leaders Of the party will
seriously consider the result OF the election and
that some effort will be made TO place the Repub-
ncan organization upon a frmer basis than il is
al present The I'D State vote seems TO have upheld
the administration of President Roosevelt and Gov
ernor Odel. the falling of being greatest in New
York and Kings County; consequently. the building
I'd Of the party is most needed here That II Is
seriously needed all must admit
The coming MayOralty campaign and the sue
eeeding Presidential campaign require il II is too
early 10 discuss methods. but Il is 20 be sincerely
hoped that the opportunity will not be allowed 70
pass without some movement on the part OF the
Republican leaders being made in that direction
II Lieutenant Governor Woodruff ana Judge Bren-
ner should take the initiative in the matter am
quite sure il would be welcomed by all the Repuo-
Icans OF Kings County. A repetition OF this cleo
ton during the Mayoralty campaign OF next year
would seriously Jeopardize the success or the ma
fOnal ticket in 1904
