In seconding his nomination Mr. Barrett said: "I think I can truthfully say that he Is the ablest representative that this district has ever had. He Is a true typo of the voung Democracy. He was placod on one of the most Important committees in the Assembly that of Commerce and Navigation. He attained great popularity among his colleagues, and 1b recognized as a man of integrity and a shrewd' and clever pOlltlolaDr.

He has sorvod both wards alike. He has returned to us with a good reputation and carrying the name of being tho most trustod man of the Democratic side of the houso, and it is eminently proper that we should retain him. His opponent, Mr. Farrell, Is a bright, clover young man and a good lawyer, and has plenty of time before him to gain his aspirations. Mr.

Hag erty Is up for the third term, It is true, but he will bo all the moro compotont Albert Jordan I think it is time for tho Eleventh Ward to giveaway to us this year. Wehad tho promise of the Eleventh lost year that the Fifth should have the privilege of Bonding a representative lo Albany this year and wo have Belected a good man.

Whon the convention renssomniea chairman Barrett again vigorously urgod the Farrell delegates to cast tholr votes for Hagorty. Ho was surprised that Mr. Farroll should glvo up his promising law practico at his early ago to go to Albany. Mr. Hag erty had nothing to lose in going.

Resolved, That a committee of five bo appointed to present our demands to the Assembly Convention for tho Sixth Assembly District, to ve held October 20, 1888.

SEVENTH ASSEMBLY DISTRICT. Supervisor Manrcr's Nomination Promptly Wafl. In tho Seventh Assembly Distriot Convention, held at Military Hall, cornor of Leonard and Scholes streets, the delegates were colled to order by Counselor Adolph Getting. John Motzger was then chosen permanent chairman and Xouls Brogbe secretary. Mr.

Frederick Hoortz sold: Mb. CHilBMAN and Gemtlkmbn I rise to propose the nomination for the offleo of Assemblyman from tho Sovonth Assembly District of Kings County of Mr. Theodore Maurer. Mr. Mauror, during the last four years, has been oar worthy representative in.

the Board of Supervisors of this county, and, In my opinion, there is no pub He official whose conduct as such better recommends him for promotion. Four years ago he entered the Board of Supervisors, and as ho entered It he stands before you to day, a man of clean and honorable record. Applause I move that tho nomination bo made by acclamation. The motion was carried unanimously. Mr.

Maurer Bald: MB. CHAIBMAN, GENTLEMEN OK THE CONVENTION, Citizens and Friends I heartily thank you for this high honor. whtoh I accept os your servant, and Bhould I be so fortunate as to be elected. I assure you that I shaU endeavor, to represent this district In such away that you will havo no reason to regret your action this evening. Having lived in the district from my boyhood, attached to it by social and business ties, I believe that I may claim, without being guilty of egotism, that I possess some knowledge of the wants, tho wishes and the grievances of its inhabitants.

I have had the honor of representing this distriot, as a wnrd, In the Board of Supervisors, during the past four years, and: the experience thus acquired wiU, I feel, in the event of my election, greatly assist me In executing the largsr trust which you desire to place in my hands. I bollove that as Supervisor I have helped to do my fellow citizens somo benefit In the year 1883, as chairman of the Tax Commlttoe, I went, to Albany, and with my committee was so successful with the Committee on Equalization of Taxes that the taxes ot the oounty were reduced 800,000. During two years I was chairman of the Mltltary Commlttoe In the Board of Supervisors, and as the Sixth Assembly District comprises military as well as civil Interests my experience tbuB acquired, will not, I trust, be any disadvantage to me should I becomo your Assemblyman. Applause. Counsellor Gottlng said: It is gratifying fo tho Democrats of the Sixteenth Ward that so good a selection has boen made.

Mh Maurer Is a tower of strength In this district As Supervisor he has served his constituents faithfully and well during two successive terms. It Is of special importance this year that the Members of Assembly from Kings County shBll be DemoaratB, since it will depend on tho political complexion of the coming Legislature whether New York's next Senatorial representative at Washington shsU bo a Democrat or not The Republicans will leave no effort untried to return Warner Miller to the United States Senate. Mr. Maurer Is not a fluent speaker, but his course In the Board of Supervisors goes to show that he possesses good solid sense, and If we elect him this time I nm confident that we will eloot him a second time and third time, always with an increased majority. If every Democrat, good and true, will como to tho front and do his duty on November 3 there will bo no doubt that tho action of this convention will be ratified by the people.

Mr. Antony Darmstadt and others also made brief addresses In eulogy of Mr. Maurer. EIGHTH ASSEMBLY DISTRICT. John Wti Bonnlngton Unanimously Nominated.

'MM tl The Long Island Association Continues Its A Chinaman Who Wonts a Sunday School Established for His People in the Eastern District Reports of the Women's Foreign and Home Missionary Societies. The session of the Long Island Baptist Association was resumed yostorday afternoon at 8 o'clock, In tho Washington Avenue Church. Before tho session was convened the Brooklyn branch of the Womon's Baptist Home Mission Society held a meeting for the purpose of hearing an address by tho secretary of tbo general organization. Miss Mary G. Burdette, of Chicago, a sister of Robert J.

Bardette. Mrs. William H. Taylor, the president of the local society, occupiod tho chair. A large nttm bor of ladlos wore present, and the general, secretary's addreHs was warmly commended.

Tho regular session was opened by a prayer by Rev. Dr. Sheldon. Rev. Edward Bralslln tben.

road the report of the Womon's Foreign Missionary Society, showing tho amount ot money collected, on Long Island in tho past year for the snpuott of Baptist ministers abroad. The report was accepted, and Rev. Dr. Allon, of tho Hanson Place Church, drew attontion to tho large amount of good lately done by Baptist womon. He claimed It was the placo of women to co oporato with the men of the church in church work.

Ho showed thot the equal ity of woman and man was the Inevitable occom panient of Christianity and enlightenment. He believed that Prohibition would not be successful here until women took hold of It And he predicted that womon would take hold of the question and the' banishment of the liquor traffic would be certain. Mr. Thorns, a Chinaman, with remarkable knowl edge of the English language and evidently a clear Insight ot what he was talking about, said that the Chlnoso oame here for gain. In their native land they know America by a namo which, literally translated, Is "Golden Hills." Those who come hero are mostly sons of respectable farmers, who havo beon dazzled by what they have seen of Amor leans In China and their friends who have been here' and roturned wealthy.

Most of them are sadly dis appointed. This is the whole truth of Chinese Immigration. The best thing they can got hero now to mako them rich, for tbey are heathens, Is the Christian rollgion. He begged tke people to do all tho work abroad, but to help the Cblnese here. Tho way to Christianize tho Chinese is to treat them kindly, and especially so In the case of those here .1 in Brooklyn.

There are six Chinese Sunday schools here In Brooklyn, and threo of these aro Baptist, and throughout the world there are five times as many Chineso members ot tbe Baptist church as belong to all other denominations together. The greatest want of a Sunday school for them now is in Greenpolnt, or near there, In tho Eastern District. It Is not posslblo to teach tho Christian religion to. the Chineso In classes each pupil must have a separato teacher. There are about SOO Chinese In the city and only from 150 to 200 attend Sunday schools.

They are a conservative people, Blow to take new Ideas, and personal persistence Is necos sary to gain them. He believed tbat the time was near whon all Chineso, even in China, would be 'Christians. Rov. Dr. Gumbart called up the foUowlng resolutions on which discussions was postponed the proceeding day, and moved that they be referred to a special committee of seven to report after It bad examined them: Resolved, 1.

That lu all cases where aid Is sought from the Board In tho support of missionary pastors, the church shall extend the caU subject to tho approval of the Board. Neglect to do this may bo doomed sufficient roason for withholding an appropriation. 2. That In all cases the Board will expect missionary pastors to confer with the Missionary Committee' of the Board before deciding to leave tho Hold. Nearly every member present rose to the floor and made a different amendment Tbe greatest confusion prevailed for fifteen minutes, soveral speaking nt once, and the moderator was unable to koop order.

Dr. Eddy finally got the 3oor and moved that tho resolutions be referred back to the new Executive Board to report next year, and the motion prevailed. Dr. Eddy then read the report of tho sub committee which obtained the foUowlng proposal from the Baptist Missionary Convention of tho State of Now York: Resolved, That In regard to the question of the Long Island Association co operating with the New York Stato Missionary Convention, the Executive Committee would heartily wolcome any action on the part of the Long Island Association looking In thnt direction. That tho plan of co operation should be on the samo terms with tho Long Island Association as thoso that now oxist between tho convention and all tho othor associations in full co operation in the State.

That tho convention would not be willing to ploilgo Itself to spend In tbo limits of the association more than is contributed by the churches In the limits of tho Long Island Association. Dr. Eddy explained that the resolution was In the nature of a compromise and Hon. WUliam Rlobard son said he detested compromises as It was his experience that the right invariably suffers In such cases. George B.

Forrester reviewed the history of the" Long Island Society, showing that the subscriptions wero very largo during the first lan fears and then uiminisnea, tmtu tnis year tnore was a aencit Mr. Richardson asked for the exact amounts sub scribed during tho post three years, and whfaJhov were road he declared the IiHr feianuAssocl atlouoiight to be ashamod instead of proud It was like getting rid of poor relations to adopt tho resolution. He wanted Mr. Forrester's speech print ed and a copy sent to every family In Brooklyn, and contended tbat the Long Island' churches most depend on Brooklyn for support not Now York State. Sir.

Whitostouo of Oystor'Bay, declared that sympathy w.is noodod moro, than money. Rev. John Humpstono'spoko In favor of turning over tho country churches to the State Association. The Long Island Association would then hove more: money to prosecute needed city missions. He thought It unable to do both.

Tho ttmo of aiUournlng having arrived, the delegates ropalred to the church parlor, where an ex cellent collation was sorved. The evening session brought out a largo attend ance, Including many ladies and children. Dn J. B.Simmons spoke at length In behalf of tbe Bap tlst Publication Society, extolling tho work it has done In the past year. He urged the Importance of a liberal support for the institution through which so much good Is accomplished by the publication of tracts, Bibles and other religious literature for.

distribution among those who otherwise would hnvo access to theso sources. Dr. C. P. Sheldon reviewod the work of the Bap.

tlst Home Mission Society during tho past year, and onlargod upon tho prospects for tho coming ono. As charity begins at home, it is a mistake to supposo this local mission work less worthy of consideration than tlio offorts to spread the Gospel in foreign lands. The financial report showed the society to bo on an excellent money basis. Rov. A.

S. Gumbart spoko strongly In favor of the work that is being done by the Baptist missionaries in Turkey. Uo urged moro generous support for them and insisted upon tho tecessity of Individual interest In tho welfare of this mission. Ho asked a very pointed question as to tho claim tho Congrega. tlonalists have set up to the solo right to do mission nry work iu that country.

At tho closo ot Rev. Mr. Gumbart's address resolutions hearty co operation in tho missionary work in Turkey wore unanimously adoptod. Miss Cornelia H. Fulton's report for tho Women's Homo Missionary Society was read by Rev.

John Humpstono. It exhibited In detail tho direction and objects of tho society's efforts for tho year. Whilo the largo field for women's homo mission work could not do covered as they desired, through lack of moans, it wns encouraging to note tho loud ablo progress thoy havo made In tho Umltod sphere of their endeavors. An appeal was mado for moro liberal support during tho coming year. THE CITY OF BROOKLYN.

How It Complements nnd Promises Snrnans York. Tho growth of Brooklyn is the most nmaz Ing thing In this part of tbe world. It dwarfs all tho tales with which tho Western borderland nourished us during the past qaartor of a century. Novora Deadwood nor a wood flourished as flourishing. Asone rides on the elovated along the roof line of tho houses ono sees literally miles of dwolllngs in course of erection, in slendor rows, In.r., solid squares, in detached units.

In koopingwlth tho unlquo character of the town, most of those, houses aro llttlo two or throe story dwellings. In keeplug with the age we decorate, the ma: Jorlty aro deceptive, fraudulent, mcro shells platod. so to speak, with a coating ot brown stono In front and trimmed Inside with cheap pine stained like mahogany, so that a Door man may boiat a brown stono house; And they have alcove bed roomB and marble buffet niches nud factory mado stained glass door panes, so that tho clerk may Uvo like tho shadow of a millionalro. In mockery of the olbow room that all Long Island offers, many of theas buildings aro' what tho poor call tenements and tho rich dub apartment houses. tho product of crowdod pauperism In tho Old World and In tho Now World, a tribute to these womon who would reduco tho cares of housekoop lug to a minimum and tho opportunities for dross ing, shopping and social Intercourse ton maximum.

Built up Brooklyn is airetdymuch larger than Man nation Islnnd aud has moro than half as many Inhab Hants. When tlio last census was taken It boosted souls, nnd to day its poople are firmly Of opinion that If thoy could get tholrrlghts they WOuW share the boaeflts of the now law fixing tho price ol' Illuminating gas at .50 por 1,003 feot In cities Oft 800,000 population ami over. Othor cities are com pleto in themselves, and rich and poor and middle class folks aro all togolber In thorn, but New Ybrij; is not complete without Brooklyn; that Is the middle class nart of Now York. It must bo thn most moral town In tho country. It has been told that tbo churchos run It, but thoy don't, oxcopt as tle.

women run tho chnrchos and thon tho churches run tho town as tho womon direct. There aro no house of 111 reputo rtoro that aro known to tho public, no public gaming halls, no thiovos' dens or fonoos," or dubious places of entertainment, or concort so loons. It's all as good os plo a of troo3 and flowors aud homos and women and babies. In tho do'tlmotho mon are In Now York and Brooklyn is a buzilng fomale beehlvo. Tho womon swarm In the streets and support half a dozen shop plug stores that fio world knows nothing of, yot; three of which aro as largo as any Now ork threo, Tho most strange th' ig about Brooklyn, though, Is that tho mon.

Gladstone and the Great Irish Leader. The Kev. K. E. Kane, D.

ana Mr. George Hill Smith, recently arrivod from Ulster County, Ireland, appeared at the Contenntal Baptist Church last night and delivered addresses on "Home Rule from a Protestant Standpoint" Both gentlemen are delegates to this country from the Loyal aud Patriotic Union of Irolond. They have been sent to the United States, for the purposo of presenting to tho peoplo tho roasons why the Protostanta of the Green Isle are against, a ropoal of the union. The audience was largo and sympathetic. Among tho Brooklyn clergymen present wero the Rev.

Justin D. Fulton, D. Father Walsh, the Rev. E. P.

Ingersoll aud the Rev. Mr. CaUan. Mr. Fulton, who Is pastor of the chnrch, kopt the congregation singing hymns until nearly 9 o'clock, whon ho thought it was about time to mako an apology.

Ho said that he had gone to the Fifth avenue Hotel twlco during tho afternoon to meet his forolgn guests, but they were not there, no did not kuow what had becomo of them. A gentleman thon aroso in tho middlo of tho church and said that tho spoakors were at the Murray Hill HoteL "All right," said Dr, Fulton, "you tolegraph that wo will wait horo until thoy come, ovon though it be 12 o'clock." A goutloman named Mr. Motcalf suggested that tho doctor should In the meantime Interest tho audience with his lecture ou "England's Opportunity." Tho reverend gentleman compiled with the request and said that tho Irish pooplo loved God and feared Him. All lands were touched by tho question which was now agitating tho United Kingdom. Tho Roman Catholics woro trying to overthrow England and put tho Pope ou the thvono.

A commission ought to bo sent to England to inquire into Ireland's condition. Justin McCarthy said tho other night that the English peasantry were worse off than tho Irish peasantry nud that tho former had to wait until tho Irish poasantry wero takon caro of. Must Ireland wait until Paruell and his coadjutors are satisfied about its condition? What wouldBatIsfy them? Once during the war the speaker Bald that ho was hissed ton minutes for saying that a negro had a right to carry a mii3kot While tho press was filling tho land with talk about Home Rule must God's best children hold still nt a terrible discount? Home Hulo meant "Rome Rule." CApplauso. At this point Dr. Fulton stopped and crlod out: "Ah; here como my friends now." Tho two Irishmen marched up to tho platform, while tho organist played "Rule Brlttanla." Tho Rev.

Dr. Kano, of Belfast, after excusing himseU and his friend for disappointing the audience so long, said This question of Home Rule has been agitating the Americaucoutinontand the English speaking world. Ono soction of tho Irish people claim to be the whole of the Irish pooplo. Suppose those that followed James G. Blaine dalmed him as their leader and themselves as tho whole American pooplo? Mr.

Gladstone claims that he is tho loador of tho English people and Mr. Paruell of tho Irish poople. I am an Irishman, but I do not follow Mr. ParnolL Applause. In Ireland parties are very sharply and deoply divided; so muoh so that if tho Irish wero left to themselves thero would bo a terriblo conflict and much resistance on both sides.

One side would have to master the othor. I havo a strong suspicion which party would bo master of tbe Cold. But I hope It will not bo fought out that way. I want to see a peaceful solution of the problom. There Is no such thing as Eugllsh oppression.

If thero Is any section of the United Kingdom op nrossed bv foralen rule it is Knclunr! hnrantf. told Lord Salisbury tbat there was no such thing as English rulo ot Ireland. England no more rules Ireland than Ireland rules England. He told me tbat at the time ho said so, his vocabulary woo limited. Ireland, as a part of the United Kingdom, Is as separately reprosonted asolUier England or Scotland.

If tbe government was put In tho hands of the ParueUltes what chanco would the minority have? If tlio Roman Catholics were in power they would proceed to take the property out of the hands of the Protostanta. Tho Catholics to day look upon everything we have as having been attained by conquest At the present timo there aro lotteries going on all over Ireland. Suppose you buy a tlckot for oigli teon pence; thot ticket might ontltlo you to my houso as soon as tbo Roman Catholics came into power. One man said to his servant: "Fat, when you come into possession ot my estate I suppoao you won't forgot me, as I have boen kind to you?" Oh, no," Bald Pat I will not forgot you, but 1 won't give your wife anything to do, for sho has a bad tongue." Laughter. Much Justice has been done to Ireland by England.

The Emancipation act aud sovoral educational bills havo boen passed. You would uot intrust tho education of our youth to tho Ultrnmontano Catholics. Wo appeal to tho Protostanta of tho world to help us and to como to our assistance now. We are fighting for liberty sake, for the sake of that liberty tbat we Intend to hand down to our children. Gladstone's plea for the repeal of the union reminds me of tho story of tho spider and the fly.

Tho spider wants to get tho fly into his parlor and tbo fly says: "No, I am content whore I am. 1 do not want to got my life's blood drawn out." Tho spider's rocord in our case is a bloody one. In 1611 300,000 Protestants were ruthlessly slain, and In 168S when Jamos the Second was on the throne that monarch became disgusted with the acts of his own Roman Catholic subjects. When Pnrnell was introduced in Boston ho was called a Cambridge graduate, but he never took a degreo under heaven. He was too stupid.

Laugh tor. I say to the Catholics the truth will make you free. My heart's dosiro is that God will save them. But I do not wish to trust mysolf to tho Catholics, for the system under which they aro brought up damns my soul to helL Applause. Queen Mary, Prince of Orange, applause was taken in hand by tho Je3uit Confessor bo that he could convert hor to tho Church of Rome.

A mon cannot be saved outside of the Church of Rome, so the Catholics tell us. But Mary's answer to the priest was that the Roman church was the most uncharitable and did not commend itself to her Wo could not live undor thoso peoplo unless we woro tho blindest euthuslasts that ovor lived. It Is said that If It were to rain six ponny loaves the Irishman would grumble because thoy were not shilling oues. Laughter. We ought not to say that we aro of Irish or English descent in tho North of Ireland.

We ought to come out boldly and say that wo are true born Irishmen. But the people who nowadays pass for Irish are those who make the most noise, especially when they are woll filled with Jamleson's whisky. Laughter. Wo are fighting against the most immoral, tho most rascally agitation thot ever afflicted any portion of tho world. There are 1,600 branches of the National League in Ireland, and the president of each branch is the parish priest Decrees aro Issued daily from those branches that have little In common with the parablo of the Good Samaritan.

Whon Lord Mont morrls was dying from tho pistol wound ho received no one dared to render hlin assistance. In some parts of the country a man has got to have a guard of policemen whenever be travels abroad. Liberty is imperishable. If an attempt is made to crush us we will roslst it to death. (Applause.) Mr.

George Hill Smith, of Armagh, was the noxt Bpeaker. Ho is short and robust, and talks very rapidly. Ho said that William E. "Gladstono was a convert to Homo Rule when ho was refused a Liberal majority. He had Issued more manifestos than any other man in tho British Empire Hia arguments woro lunatic John Bright, Chamberlain, ChurchUl and Trovolyan all cut thomselvos adrift from the Grand Old Man whon thoy saw the policy ho was pursuing, and Henry Jamos, though offered ono of the best places in the Cabinet, refused to follow Gladstono, saying that he would rather die lu beggary and ponury.

Delegates to the Third Assembly Dislriot Convention met last ovonlng In a hall at tho cornor of Union and Kevins streets and spent a long time in fruitless balloting. Tho Third Assembly District is composed of the Third nud Tenth wards. Delegates from the Third Ward were Arthur J.

Hcaney, P. H. Qulnn and Henry Burke, aud those of Iho Tenth Wnrd William Derapsey, John Hosey and Michnol Heenan. Baldwin F. Strauss, of tho Democratic General Coinmitteo, called tho oonvontlon to order at 8:45, as soon as Mr.

Iloaney, who had been at a weddlnir, drove up lu a coupe aud entered the haU, dressed In black broadcloth with a blazing diamond in bis shirt bosom and another on the llttlo finger of his loft hand. The convention immediately mado Mr. Hoaney permanent chairman and gave to William Dempoey, who led tho Tenth Ward delegates, tho secondary place of permanent socretary. On taking his position tho chairman called on the delegatos to prosout their candidates for Aesembly mau for the Third District William Dempsoy I present the namo of Peter .1. McCnun, our presout representative.

Ho Is a staunch Democrnt and a friend of the workinginan. lie has faithfully served his constituents, as bis votos In the Assembly and the measures pressed by him upon that body amply testify. He has servod us with greut ability, industry and faithfulness, nnd wo nbnro tho opinion which Governor 11111 ox pressod In hia lottor sent to the management of the dinner whloh the worklngmon gave to McCaun recently, namely, that Mr. MoCauu should be returned lo tho Assembly again and again, as he (the Governor) know no man In the Assembly who wae more dlligont and faithful the discharge of tho duties which he owed to those whom he represented. John Hosey socondod the presentation.

Arthur J. lleanoy I desire, on behalf of Ihe Third Ward, to present the name of a gentleman who has been beforo tho public for tho past ten years aud who has, lor tne past six years ocou active in helping to reorganize and vivify the Democracy of the ward in which 1 reside. Tho delegates to thi3 convention from the Third Ward claim that thoy have the right to nominate tho Assombly candidate this year, as they have not mado Buch a nomination sluco or TO, when Lawrence J. Tonnoy was their choice Tho man whom wo present to you is a workiiigman, a printer, working at tho case and foreman of a Democratic shoot. He is la a member of Typographical Union No.

S. Ho Is a man of intelligence aud ability that are beyond all question, and he will, if accepted as your candidate and elocted, represent you to your entire satisfaction in the Assembly, we ore willing to concede that ihe Tenth Word, with Its largo Democratic majority, has a right to wield greater Influence In the matter of maklug nominations then the Third Ward. Wo deny, however, that the Tenth Ward has a right to monopollBa the nominations year after yoar. Tho Third ward has made uo nominations for tho Assombly since 1878, and It is time that It had an opportunity. I present the name of Charlos J.

Ourran. P. 11. (uinu seconded this. The aocrotary then called the roll for tho first ballot and Arthur J.

On the other hand William Dompsey, John Uosey and Michael Heouan, all voted solidly for McCann Nino more ballots effected no change, and a recess of fifteen minutes was taken. Thon balloting began again, Interspersed with desultory arguments, cigars and refreshments.

Finding thoy oould como to no conclusion, tho Tenth Ward delegates wanted' an adjournment till to ulght; tho Third Warders stuck out for Friday night, when the Tenth Ward primary Is to bo held. A dozen ballots wevo taken over this question with no result, and an equal number over tho question of recess or uo recess. Meanwhile tho candidates wore cooling tholr heels on the sidewalk outside. Tho ballots on the question of a candidate ran up to fifty, iutervals being filled with general conversation, songs, stories and ploaBant invitations. It was 5 o'clock this morning when the convention adjourned to meet again this evening.

It had reached uo result. No quoBllon as to the ability of either candidate dlvidos tho delegates. Thoro Is no faotlou squabble and no principle involved, and, though tho Third Warders are grumbling a little at tho proposition to give McCann a third term, they lay stress only on tholr claim that it Is their turn to make the nomination. FOURTH ASSEMBLY DISTRICT. Dolcfjnten Unable to Afjreo Upon a Can didate.

The Fourth District Democratic Assembly Convention was called to order at 8:30 o'clock last evonlug in Gaffuey's HaU, Bridge and High streets, by ox City Clerk Denis McNnmara. of the Eleventh Ward, The hall was paokod with people, among whom were Alderman John Mccarty, ox Supervisor Androw Coats, Supervisor Garret Cullon, Superin tendent John Kennedy and Judge Andrew Nulty. Af tor the roll call Mr. McNamara addressed the convention briefly. Ho said: GBNTUSMBH OP THE COKVENTION The duty rulllnr this convontlou to ordor has fallen udou mo and I appreciate the honor conferred.

It is of great importance that we nominate a fit man to represent us. Of course, I am not fgnoraut as to the foollnesof tho convention over tho two caudldat.es in tho Hold.

I trust that tho samo harmony that existed two years ago, at which time I had the pleasure of presiding and which resulted in fair play, will be manifested again to night This Is tho buslnoss district of tho county and we should send a competent man to Albany to roprosont us. Lot us act carefully and sco to It that the nomination which we are about to mako will bo for our best lntorosts. Tho nomination lu this district means an election. Thoro is a Uulted States Senator soon to be elected and it is of vital importance that the noxt Assombly be Democratic.

Let us set an example for our Democratic friends. We cannot have this roform that wo ore all clamoring for nnd turn the rascals out unless we put our shoulders to the wheel and assist President Cleveland In the work he has so faithfully begun. 'Ills bands have been tied by a watchful, hostile body In the House. Tho chairman asked 'for tho farther pleasure of the mooting. i it was moved and soeondia tnatiuo airiveutl4n go Hot tne mtk of flomfijiitiiaWiiitail She Republican City Convention Completes Its Work.

Justice Charles Nneher for Controller and Bfcharu H. Folllon for Auditor The Effort to Nominate John Qt. CarlUe Sketenes of the Candidates. An adjourned mooting of the Kepublicnn City Convention was hold last night at Saongerbund Halt Groat confusion provailod before the meeting, the loaders being, unable to agroo upon a harmonious oourae of action. Thoro was llttlo contest ntnong candidates, for thero were but few genUe xnen who wore anxious to go upon tho ticket.

The necessity of malting strong nominations la order to strengthen the county tlcketwas apparont to everyone, but tbore was a wide difference of opinion as to who wore tho strongest candidates. The calling Of the convention to order was tlelayod nearly three quarters of an hour In order to fix up a slate, and thon It lookod as if there might bo a hitch somewhore. The galleries worn crowded with spectators and there wore many promiuont politicians prosent At 6:40 o'clock Sir. Goorgo D. Forrester, tho chairman, called the convention to order.

1 ho roll of delegatos was called and many substitutions wore Deacon Richardson said that ho hoped the gentlemen In tho gallery would pay sufficient roopect to the delegates by removing their how. His remarks were received with Jeers and hisses, and one or the gallery boys shouted, Deacon, you are always first thlrd Ward.said that ho hod a resolution to offer. An attempt had been niado So burden tho city with the Now Lots Water Worts aquation farin excess of its cost. But through the exposure of tho public press, and 03peclaUy the Brooklyn Eaole, tho scheraors had been prevented from patting their plans into effect. Ho would therefore offer the following Whereat, At the last session of the Legislature a law was enncted authorizing tho ontroller and City Auditor to purchase a certain water works locatod in East Now York (now tt.o Twcmy sixth Ward), subject to two mortgages of each; Whereas, The sum mentioned Is largely in exceBs of the value ot aaia water wuraj; uuu Whireat, The public press has donouncod the manner In which the said bill was put through tho Legislature, and Whereat The Senators and Assemblymen from this county have positively denied all l.

no of the passage of this measure. Therefore, bo it Resolved, That it Is the sense of this convention that no action should be taken by the Mayor, Controller and Auditor to acquire said wnter works before the next session of the Lei. lslaf.ire. to tho end that bald iaw may bo repealed, ir. Kit is desirable to secure said wnter works, may uo saanianded as to provide that tlio owners of tho said water works shall not receive a greater Bum than tlio actual cost of said wator work and such funhc sum, not ox ceodlng SO per centum of tho cost, as tho Jiayor, Controller and Auditor may dotormliio.

Tho resolution was unanimously adopted. 3Ir. Elliott, of the Twentieth Ward, said that since tho county convention had nominated a candidate for DIstriut Attorney who would bo elociod, and tho city convention a candidate for City Judge who would also be elocted thcro was no longer any iliMottlty in finding men who were willing to become candidates on the city ticket Tho only question was who of the many candidates should be selected who could best strengthen the county tlckot. Tha Eastern District should have recognition. In order to make no mfstako ho moved that a committco of sovon bo appointed to prepare a tloket and submit Jt to tho convention.

Mr. Hugo Illrsh, of tho First Ward, sola thatln his opinion the convention could settle i.lro matter Just as well as a committee ofsovou and ho moved as an amendment that the convention proceed at ouce to place in nomination candidates for Controller. Mr. Klllott withdrew his motion and a motion was carried made by ox Alderman Dlmon that tho convention nominate a candidate for Controller. Dr.

NIcot camo forward to the front of tho hall and on behalf of the united delegations of tho Eastern District placed In nomination for Controller tho name of Justico Charlos Naobor. Ho said that after much persuasion Justice Nncher hail con eontod to accept tuo nomination of Controller, it made. He was the most availablo candldiito in tho olty. Tho nomination of Justico Nnouor was received by tho convention with cheers. Mr.

Michael Buchmanu. of tho Sixtoonth Ward, the nomination, and said that ho hoped it would bo mndo by acclamation. Mr. Losior W. Boasley, of the Twouty nrst VSard Justico Naoher has long been a terror to evil doors In this city.

I kuow him well. Ho Is a good Hepub Ucan and a splendid citizen and will glvo great strength, to our ticket. 1 move that the nomination of Justice Nenher bo mado by acclamation. Mr. George Elliott, of the Twoniieth Ward Jlo fore Mr.

Naehor was made polico Justice he served as an assessor in this city and is as well qualified for tho position Of Controller as any ultizon in Brooklyn. It is a happy time to nominate a gentleman who has been a terror to evil doers, for wo already have nomlnatod two such gentlemen, one at the head ot tho county ticket, Gcuoral Tracy, and one at tho head of the city tlckot, Judge Reynolds. Judge Naobor was then unanimously nominated by acclamation. Air. Small, of tho Thirteenth Ward, moved that a committee of throe bo appointed by the choir to cnll Upon Judge Naober and inform him of his nomination and brlngilm to tho hall.

Dr. Nicot, of the Sixteenth Ward, informed tho oonvontlon that It would bo impossible to carry out the laet portion of the motion, as Judge Naoher waB at bis house. Sir. small tnen movon tnai mo comiinuoc uo Ward, wore appointed as a for that purpose. Nominations for Auditor wore then declared In order.

A gentleman who has been a lifelong resldout of this city, and whoso eminent capacity well fits him to fill the office with credit to LimBolf and to his party. I nominate John O.

Caville, of tho Eleventh Word." Mr. Caville's nomination was rocoivod with applause, but It was after sorao hesitation that a gen Uoman In the back of the hall ventured to second it. Mr. lilllott, of tho Twontioth Ward It would not do, Mr. Chairman, if tho Twontioth Ward should fail to present a candidate at every convention.

The gentleman who Uvo without work think themsolves a nice lwdy of citizens, and capable of picking out a man from tlioir number capablo of filling almost any position. At loast Boino of us thluk so.

Oloso of (Ho Heart ngrlloforo tlio Mayor's Commission.

Tho fourth nnd final hearing before the commission appointed by tho Court on the application of the Union Elevated Railroad was hold last ovenlng in Room 0 of tlio County Court House. The atteudanco was very slight. Mr. Frederick UhlmRn, president of tho Union Elevated; General Wiugato, its counsel Colonel Martin, tho omjlueor; Lawyer II. D.

Birdsell and a few wlt nossos were tho only poople present. Commissioners Mooro, Livingston and Hunt were in their places by 8:00 o'clock, when tho proceedings openod. Mr. H. D.

had a few words to say in rof oronco to Route No. tho Franklin and Wythe nvonuo route. He wantod to kuow If tlio Commission desired to hear arguments upon the evidence presented in reference to that espoclal lino. General Wlngaie, representing ihe Union Elevated, said tho company did not propose to present any argument upon that point They would leavo tlio question entirely with the Commission. They did not propose to traverse the evidence offered by the Franklin and Wytho avenue property owners.

Tho Commissioners said they woul notify Mr. Birdsell if argument was dosli ed. General Wingate presented an affidavit made by President Uhlman which ombodied tho facts in relation to the Kings County Elovated Railroad Company, it3 formation, legal decisions, etc. The acta presented In tho affidavit have all been set forth at length in ihe newspapers. It was prosented for the purposo.of having the facts officially ou the record.

Tho Orst wilnoss of tho evening wna Mr. CasMdy, a lournulist with tho Eastern District Times. Ilo said he had boen sent out by his city editor to ascertain the feeling of proporty owners on llroadway In reference to tho construction of nn elevated road on that thoroughfare He found a Eroat change of seutlmi'iit iu reforenco to tho road. Pooplo who formerly woro opposed to tho building of an elovated road on Broadway now advocated It. They seem to feel, witness said, that It was noeossary to do something to provent trade from being diverted toward the bridgo.

Timothy J. journalist cwuneoieuwitu iub (fiii'mi anil who had Interviewed real 01 late owners up town, was the next witness, lie swore mat no found a great incrca' in tho value of real estate ou tho streets near the Brooklyn Elevated. Ilo fouud that lots on Loxinciton avenue, through wnicu me roads ruu, wnicii six months boforo the road was opened could bo bought for S400, were now held at tl.000. Lots In tlio Eighteenth Ward whloh two years ago coum noi do soiu were now neing sow ranldlv. Thov had trablad in value and real ostato owners who said that ruin was staring them In tho face belore tho road was built now Bay uiey are on their feet.

As to the amount of building done last year, one half of all tlio buildings put up in tho city were In the Twenty third nud Twenty fifth wards. Wlmoss said that he had canvassed tho feeliug property owners along the linos of tho Union Elevated. Ou Fifth avenue, In the Eighth Ward, thoy woro crazy for rapid transit. Thoy Bald they could not longer afford to pay taxes on vacant lots. In tho Twenty second Ward witness found two owners on Fiflh avonuo who objot tod.

Ono was a druggist, who feared tho entrniico of other drug stores, and tho other a uoloon keopor, who said It would carry people past bis door instead of bringing them to his place On Fulton street all the proporty oVners abovo Hudson avouuo are In (avor of an olevated road. Below that point there has been a great chango In favor of rapid transit. The witness said that as to Broadway ho could confirm tho evlilonco of Mr. Cassidy, that property owners ou that thoroughfaro wero all ill favor of the elovated road. Latimer, the carpet men, said that if thoy did uot have rapid transit soon tlio mei chants might closo their stores, for the trado from uptown now flowed toward tlio Brooklyn Bridge Assessor Thomas Eunls was noxt called and was asked by Gonoral Wiugato as to what Increase had becu brought about in the valuation of real ostato, In tho Eighteenth, Twenty third, Twonty fourth and Twenty fifth wards they being the localities most affected liv the Brooklyn Elevated.

He teBtlflod that tho increase iu valuation lu tho wards stated, over the previous year, wa as follows EiBlitemith Wnrd Wrd 2,181,000 Twonty Imirth Ward im.ODO Twonty Jiftii Ward 3,000,100 Tottl "9109,000 Tho small amount of increase 'in the Twenty fourth Ward, as compured with the othor wards, was duo to tho fact that it lay oh to ono sido and waB not so muchafroetod by tho opening and running of tho Brooklyn elevated. General Wingate asked what had been tho Increase In valuo along tho line of Fultou street. Mr. Ennis said that east of Bedford avenue values had boon udvancod from 25 to 50 per cent. Ho could not spenk ns to the sentiment of property owners along Fifth avenuo In relation to lUe construction of an elevated road, ao ho had uot beon down there this year.

Mr. George B. Cornell, civil engineer, was called and gave some explanations in reference to the proposed plan of tho Union Elevated. He said that whoro the Btreet was wide onough tho stations woul I bo placed between tho tracks. Gonoral Wingate then announced the case for the Union Elovatod was all in, and the Com mission sold if thcro was no further ovldouco they would declare tho hearing closod.

No argument will bo mado by conniiol. So far as Iho Franklin and Wythe nvonuo routo is concerned, the company evidently doos not proposo to build ou that route.

The Sixth Assembly District Democratic Convention was called to order last cvonlng by Mr. William Dorau In Dahlbender's Hall, on Grand street, near Leonard. Mr. Doran said: Gbntlksien I have boon designated by the president of tho Democratic General Committee of Kings County to call you to order. I trust that tho spirit of harmony aud good fooling will characterize our proceedings as it has characterized all the Democratic conventions so far hold this Fall.

It Is ot the highest Importance, gentlemen, that the Democrats of Kings County shall send to the Stato Legislature a fuU delegation, bo that New York may send a Democrat to the Uulted States Senate to strengthen our Democratic President In his policy and administration. 1 trust, therefore, that this convention will unite on some gentleman who can be trium phantly elected member ol Assommy irom uo Sixth District Mr. Martin Drennan, of tlio Fourteenth Ward, wa3 chosen chairman, and Mr. Thomas Traoy secretary. sir.

tirentian uonuomeii, i innnjt you tor ttiu honor, but I feel that my being chairman may im nodo mv tree oxnrossion. As chairman, howover. my first duty Is to ask you what is your pleasure in rogard to tho proposition to nominate a candidate ior Assembly, Ana now i wisn to vacate iuo cuair for a few moments. On motion, Mr. William P.

Horseman took tho chair vaeated by Mr. Dronnan. Mr. Drennan Mr. Chalrmau and delegatos, my first duty as a Democrat Is to oak the delegates to dlsohargo faithfully their duties to their country, tholr party and their candidates, and to Inform them that the sentiments of the ward whloh'l represent deservos to bo known to them, so that they may roallzo tho responsibility which rests on us.

You, delegates of tho Flfteonth Ward, know that tho Fourteenth Ward usually ha9 a majority of 2,500 Democratic votes. Your ward is undeniably a Republican ward, though it has been carried by Democrats. It is usual to allow representation according to numbers, but In this while you are greatly in tho minority the banner waTd (the Fourteenth) Is Umltod to threo delegates tho same as you are. We meet you here three to three. Against tho gentleman who has represented you lu the Legislature during the last throe terms I have naught to say, but there is an unwritten low according to which tho Fourteenth Ward should have fair play and be reprosonted according to her population.

Tho Fifteenth Ward has had its representative in the Assombly three tlmo3 in succession. Tho Fourteenth Ward comes before you with an exceUent candidate, a man eminently fitted to represont the district In the Assombly. There was a unanimous desire at our lost primary that ho should be nominated for Assembly: It would be unfair to you If 1 did not here stato what has beon reportod and is believed generaUy. It Is that In accordance with a certain slate made up some time ago a cortaln nomination would be mado and an injustice would bo done, or that this convontlou would end In deadlock and that tho choosing of nn Assembly representative would go to the hands of the General Committee. Wo do uot believe that it is right and proper ahead of time for a committee to meet as a close corporation ana nostow a nomination on a porsonal, Boelal or political friend.

We want a fair show. If I shall namo a gentleman who. from his youth up, has been identified with the party, a man well qualified for the position of Assemblyman, and who 1b belovod by the young mon of his ward, I would claim that ho Is entitled to fair play. We havo come here to night to confront a man who has closo friends among the heads of the various departments a man who has had three successive terms in Assombly. We are here to nominate one who has right on his side one whom it would bo dangerous to set aside by false moans.

Gontlemen, I nominate Mr. Thomas F. Magiier, of the Fourteenth Ward. CApplause. Mr.

resumed his seat and Mr. Horseman retired to tho floor. A gentleman named McCoy asked permission to prosent a series of resolutions from Democrats of tho Fourteenth Word. The resolutions In ronmiBorlpfwere passod to Mr. Charles Cassidy, one of the delegates from the Fourteenth Ward.

Objection was mado that they woro not Introduced by a delegate. Amotion that they be read by the secretary resulted in a tio 3 to 3. Mr. Drennan I am obliged, Mr. McCoy, to say that undor tho opposition of delegates from the Fifteenth Ward, the reading of your resolutions Is rofuscd.

Mr. Tracy movod the nomination of Mr. Thomas F. Farrelt Mr. Cassidy 1 opposo It Mr.

Tracy ondeavorod to road a newspaper extract commendatory oftho course of Mr. Farrell on tho labor question, but was opposed by Mr. Cassidy. unless tho resolutions offcrod previously wore allowed to bo road. Mr.

Tracy then withdrew his document. On motion of Mr. Tracy, a ballot was taken on tho candidates, which resulted in a tie 8 to B. Mr. Herstoman then moved that a reces3 of ton mluutos bo had.

Mr. Cassidy Wo can do Just as well here now. As oue of tho delegates from tho Fourteenth Ward I havo to say that If I stayed here till to morrow night my voice would BtUl be for Maguor. Applause. Mr.

Tracy And I and the other mnmbors or the Fifteenth Word delegation will vote for 'FarroU. Applause.l Mr. Drennan The Fourteenth Ward delegates aro pledgod to Mr. Magner and daro not go back. I would tell the dolegotes on the other side to bo careful, for great crisis has come, and It will require that no injustice be done the Fourteenth Ward lu this matter.

Mr. Horseman We, of the Fifteenth Ward, aro unpledged to any candidate. You say that your delegatos ore pledged to Magner. Mr. Drennan Every tlckot cast at our primary was for Magnor.

We regard tho wish of our constituents so expressed. We are no tricksters or aiplomatB. Mr. Uerseman moved that tho convention adjourn to Friday ovonlng. On motion of another delegate a recoss of ten minutes was taken.

After the return of the delegates a ballot was again taken, but with unchanged rosuit Mr.Dreunan Wo would like somo ono to stato any reasons why Mr. Farrell should be sent back to tho Legislature. We would bo glad to know the reasons why a man so popular as Mr. Maguer should bo set aside tor Mr. Farrell.

Applauso. Mr. Traoy Mr. Farrell ought to bo elected He served threo terms lu the Assembly, but Tully had two terms and had two. Mr.

Drennan said that the fact of Mr. McCarren having had two terms la the Assombly was used against blm to elect Farrell, tho word having come from tho Western District to hove it done. CApplause and hisses. In caso of tho oloctlon of Mr. Magner, however, bo could bo counted on to push bills for electric, light and othor things, If ho found that they would benefit the people, Laughter and applausej.

It bolng ovldont that the dologatos on both sldos woro detormlnod to hold out, the hope of making a nomination wns abandoned, and on motion of Mr. Cassidy the convention adjourned indefinitely. The following Is a copy of the resolutions the reading of which tho Fifteenth Ward delegates opposed: Whereat, Tho Sixth Assembly the Fourteenth aud Flfteonth wards, has boen for the past throe years reprosentod by a gentleman who halls from tne Fifteenth Ward, tho ward of tbe minority, the voters who havo elected, and who aro again expected to elect tho representatives of tho Democratic organization In the district have three times faithfully and gonerously supported the gentleman who now selfishly soeks a fourth term of office. Tho 3.500 Democratic voters of our ward havo unanimously selected Thomas Maguor, a rosldont of tho district, who was born In our ward, as their choice for representative In tho noxt Assembly. A devout regard for their wlshos so exprossod requires that tholr Just domands bo granted.

Our has already uamod ltscandldntos for city and county officers, and a united and enthusiastic party Is noeossary for its complete success. Tho potty selfishness of ono man must not balk it, and if it doos the consequences will bo on him. Now, therefore, be It ttesokd, That we tho Democracy, of the Fourteenth Ward, In mass meeting assomblcd, firmly, but respect ully, urgo upon tho Democratic Assombly Convention for the Sixth Assombly District the Imporativo necessity for tho nomination of resident of tho district and of tho Fourteenth Ward our choice, Thomas F. Magnor. That we demand this as our right, a right to which wear Justly entitlod and which We scorn to crave.

During tho last session of tho Legislature ho served us faithfully, and as his previous rocord Is a matter of history in this district there Is no necessity for me to eulogtzo him.

He is only 88 years of age, a native of this city and a resident of the ward for fifteen years. He Is a self made man, Is now a New York broker, and I hope tho claims ot George W. TIndeU will be considered by this convention.

Whan It coraos to the labor question I must say that my candidate Is a toller of tollers, tor ho walks the floor of Looser's dry goods house from morn till ovo, and It la my wish, as woll as that of others in our ward, that Thomas Monalian shall pace the floor of tho legislative halls in Albany this coming session.
