HOW MLAUGHLlN'LL VOTE
FOR Low, THE INFERENCE.
The old Boss Viii Be on Stage ut
Academy Meeting.

Hugh Mclaughlin, who for nearly half a CEN
fury has controlled the destinies of the Demo-
cratic party in Kings County is lining his forces
up in opposition to Murphy and Tammany Hall
and all the infames that they represent, while
Senator p. H McCarren continues to plot and
work for the success of the Tammany ticket.
While McCarren is making absurd boasts as to
the ajority Mcclellan will receive in Brooklyn
on Election Day the respectable and law-abid-
ing Democrats in the community giving I'M
| mistakaDle evidence that they will follow Nc
Laughlin in supporting the fusion cause on
Election Day.
Next Thursday night. when Martin W. Little
ton will speak of what ex-Controller Coler has
called the Brooklyn idea in the Academy of
Music and when IL is expected that Justice
CO, nor and Edward NJ Shepard will speak, Mr..
Mclaughlin will be a prominent figure on the
platform.
81 believe heartily in Mr.. Litteton's position"
he said yesterday, land will do everything that
/ can to support him in it. If l am alive shall
be at the meeting Thursday night, and l in
wife every true American citizen to be present
1t is expected that 1t will be a big Democratic
gathering and that the we'll known and re-
spected Democratic citizens who were conspicu-
Gus by their absence on Saturday night will be
there to show their hearty accord with the fight
that is being made against Tammany by Nc
Laughlin.
The "Old Man" was much incensed by an alb
solutely false story which appeared yesterday
that he had made all arrangements to go TO
Florida before Election Day-next Friday in
fact.
You ought to know me better than ask if
such an absurd story is true he said when seen
at his home, in Remsen-st. What would they
call me if 1 did such thing as that? quit
ter. Yes a gutter! Well. 1 am not a gutter.
You NAV say in The Tribune that all the
Red Light agents of Tammany couldn't drag
me to Florida before Election Day. II L go
away before Election Day it will be AT the hand
of an assassin. and will be on my way TO
heaven and not to Florida
Would you consider it an impertinent ques-
ton If you were asked whether you intenced 10
vote for Seth Low not?'
THAT is not an impairment question" Mr..
McLaughlin replied 1T is a very pertinent
| question Now listen carefully. If l should call
a man thief robber and a blackleg again
! and again, and l had considerable money lying
! around the house, do you think l would invite
/ that man TO come to my home and sleep there?
/ II have said that Tammany Hall represents
/ the Red Lights and | repeat that statement
/ And that other hall there referring TO the
/ Thomas jefferson Halt where McCarren is now
1 in CONTROL. that annex of Tammany Hall, where
several of the agents of the Red Light organ
! ization are in Charge-such lot of cattle as you
/ see there, Some of those men know a good deal
about red lights in certain streets, and if they
/ don't look out I'll tell all about ii.
! Mr. McIaughlin's story was taken 10 indicate
! that as he had repeatedly characterized Tam
/ many as the representative Of red lights he
| would certainly not be party to inviting ii 70
/ Rrooklvn by casting his vote for Mcclellan.
! So anxious is Mr.. Mclaughlin to vote that
! whom somebody came and told him, through a
/ r,.1i nff
/ nroperly registe red from his district the Sixth
/ election District of the LIST Assembly District
/ ne had a lawyer take legal steps to discover il
! a mistake had been m Ide. IL was found. how
| over that he properly registered. He was
| afraid that he might have made an error. as his
I mailing place for the primary election had been
/ in Fulton-st and not i'm Montague-st. where ne
! is vote.
! Martin w. Littleton il preparing his speech
| for Thursday night. II will not be an 1npas-
stoned address but will be clear log1cal, force
! ful statement of the facts. He Will show now
the thoughts of every high minded democrat
should be centred on the defeat OF Iammany
