 Hans Rasmussen was one of the men who worked diligently at the primaries yesterday for the adminis- tration ticket in the third. He was on hand early and did not even stop to eat.
 Miss Mary Healey and Miss Laura Mccarthy, who have been teaching the past year at the Town Plot school, have been called into the city. Their successors at Town Plot have not as yet been selected.
 The Brooklyn and Town Plot Im- provement society will meet to-mor- row evening. If there is any politics discussed, tile meeting should be of the prominent members of the so- ciety is strong Walker man, while Chairman John Henderson has no use for the third ward alderman. The chairman evidently thinks that for the good of Brooklyn Walker should be thrown overheard at the coming election, and is of the opinion that if the democrats nominate a strong candidate Walker will be defeated.
 The republican fight in the third yesterday was a corker and anyone Is foolish to say that it ended with the battle of the primaries. The party is split in this section as it never was before There is a fight on which is sure to grow much warm- CT before election day and if the democrats get together in the third, they may succeed in electing one of their candidates for the aldermanic chamber. The Peasley-K faction has once more landed on the right side and the "antis" are a sorry look ing bunch this morning. Of course they are taking some consolation from the fact that they rescued one alderman and one delegate to the city convention but nevertheless their de- feat was humiliating. They were cocksure of victory, but. For some reason or other Tom" Walker is very unpopular in this section and the re- publicans intend to knife him at the polls. X man most familiar with municipal affairs and who has been almost a lifelong republican said this morning that if tue democrats can select a strong choice. there is a good possibility of winning an all. derman in the third. ''Tne opposition to Walker will be organized in such a way that If there is any possible chance of beating him it will be done. All the republicans who intend to slash Mir Walker will throw their votes to the strongest democratic can didate and in this way we expect to keep the votes together. 1 know the republican majority in the ward is big but 1t is. not impossible to cut it down Alderman Walker, when seen this morning said that he had no fear of the outcome. ''It was a prtty close contest yesterday but I got there just the same.'' he remarked. In speaking about the communication in last evenings paper in which John Henderson criticized him, Walker stated that it was simply an old sore of HendersOn's. Although without doubt there will be much opposition to Alderman Walker. it is hardly pos sible that he will he defeated AL though he has been hammered be- cause he is supposed to have cen no'h- ing hut his own district and is said to be as much of a democrat as re- publican. he has many friends who are sticking to him like glue. They declare that he has been no machine man and that he has not played pOii- tics. and that is why he is disliked. But the BrOoklynites are against him simply because they maintain he did nothing whatever for that section of the city It appears that the fight le- tween Mr Henderson. Tom" Walk CT and Dave Walker has something to do with the affairs of the Third church, fight which has cropped out now and then for several years. The republicans fully realize that the sit- uation In the third is an awful mess and know that unless s0mething drops before election day there will be much flashing in the ficket-
