NEW YORK NEWS LETTER.
The Social Democracy Have the First
Ticket In the EicId--I,vcrything Not
serene for David ". IIiII-Notcs.

in the field this year will he that ~
the social democracy, which is to hold
its convention on July T. This organza-
ton is usually the first to hold its con-
vontion. This year, with the other fac
tions, ii VIII have new opponent in
brooklyn. for movement for an indcpcn-
dent democracy has been started and
backed, ii is said. by such influential mon
as j. Edward Sandstrom, president of
the borough; Commissioner of Public
Works Rcdneld and Assistant Commits
sioncr kcmpcr. 1t is the announced tie
termination of these leaders to build up
a permanent Democratic party in Brook
lyn which shall represent everything
democratic which the McLaughlin-llill
democracy does not represent The new
organization will, of course, become al
lies of the fusionsts in the approaching
city campaigns.
Everything is not as serene as 1t might
he for ex-senator David b. niill Cos
sip has ii that eN-Mayor II. j. Grant has
aspirations To- become a state leader and
may combine with ex-senator Edward
Murphy Jr.. to wrcSt the control of the
state machine from Mr.. Ilill. An effort
is being made to boom Mr.. Grant for
mayor, but it is said to have been re-
ccivcd coldly within the inner circles of
the wigwam.
The strength of tho republican county
committee has not been increased any by
leader to take the place of Edward Nor
ris. resigned. For several years the com
m;ttce has hccn dctcriorating as AN eff
fcctive factor i'm the partY's battles in
this country. The narrow escape Cover
nor Odol had from defeat last fall was
due largely to the lack of aggressive
and competent organization in this coun-
~. When Mr.. Morris resigned from the
presidency the leaders saw that way
was open for thorough reorganization.
President Roosevelt has been greatly in
tcrestcd in the matter, as it is recognized
that the question of whether New York
state will bc in the republican column
in the presidential election depends great
ly upon the success of the efforts to
effect an organization that will work
theoretically and tremendously for the
party ticket
Interesting facts about tho bridges of
New York are pointed ont 10y Commits
sioncr Lindonthal and the magnitude of
the work of the bridge department is sur
prising There are now around New York
thirtN-ScNon completed bridges. which
represented an outlay of about s3ooo0.o0o

the three additional giant bridges over
the East river are in the course of con-
structiOn and their total cost. when com
plcted. VIII represent an additional OK
pcndturc of about s6o.00o,V0 including
land.
There is little doubt that the city will
make an experiment with municipal on
Grafton of ferries. On account of the
ursatisfartorv service rru,lcroI bv tho
ferry crnr.,ny THAT onor.,tos heats no
twnnn thn Hattcrv and 1hirtv-niuth
street Ernnl;lvu several civ orici.,1s
have declared in favor of appropriation
that the city purchase ana operate the
line. If this venture is a success, other
