WORK OF THE OHAKITABLH. BY WIRE TO DAY AT THE ALTAR. SUNDAY MUSIC to account or should be, for he did not equal the activity of Mr. Cleveland himself who, while Governor and running for President, interrupted his gubernatorial duties in his own interest by going to Newark, New York, Bridgeport and Buffalo to make speeches for his own election. Mr.

Wilber might cite the Cleveland examplo against the Cleveland precept It is not a timo to bo too critical about efforts dosigned to bring outor to increase the Democratic vote. took advantage of the growing sentiment on labor questions by plaoing in nomination candidates who were acceptable to the working men throughout the county. The union effected constituted an alliance Which would have been invincible in any event. With the weakness and demoralization displayed' by the Eepublicons it wos inevitable that the Democratic candidates should all sweep in by very large majorities. The Republican candidates were men of good character and staudirg, but their party was apathetic, their canvass badly managed and their customary voto was consequently greatly reduced.

If the Republicans ever expect to make another winning fight in Brooklyn they will havo to not only thoroughly reorganize their party, but they must obtain converts from other organizations in sufficient numbers to overcome the natural Democratic majority. Thero is not much likelihood that we shall hear, for some time to come, any renewal of observations to the effect that Brooklyn is destined to become a Republican city. Events havo demonstrated that the Democratic vote, in its growth, kcepB pace with the expansion of the community. The Democrats wore never so united and enthusiastic as at present. Their organization has been greatly strengthened and improved, and its operations are being still further extended.

If the Democratic party nnd managers ubo wisely the power intrusted to their hands they can pro lone their lease of official control indefinitely, unless a great and unanticipated change occurs in tho present political tendencies of the peoplo of Brooklyn and Kings County. A Request Compiled With. To the Editor of the. Brooklyn Xcutle Ouo ol tho stump spoakors during tho recent campaign, at a meotlng I was at, declared that tho Eaolk or Bomo of ita ownerB had on understanding with William Hlchardsou, or soma sort of business nnd political arrangement with him. Ho said that explained tho Eaolk's support of Tracy, who was nlao Richardson's parluer, and that tho wholo acliomo was one to control the District Attorney's of fln nn Ihn linml mid MOIUO railroad job OH the fellow citizens beyond the boundaries of his town.

Flatlands is a queer place politically. It has usually been carried by the Republicans by a small but apparently irreversible majority. That majority is ordinarily maintained at figures which show but slight alterations at successive elections. In 1882, when the Cleveland tidal wave swept the Republican party almost out of existence, the only election district in Kings County, carried for the Folger ticket, was in Flatlands. That fact showed the voters to be very unyielding, and their action In defeating Supervisor Rydor will therefore occasion very general surprise.

British Stalwarts and English Half Breeds. The meeting of the Liberal Federation, which was held yesterday at Leeds, proves very clearly that there is no chance of a reunion of the Liberal party with the Liberal Unionists, who went out with Mr Chamberlain and Lord Hnrtington. The tail is not to be allowed to wag the dog, and if tho dog no longer continues to wag his tail it is simply because he has lost it. The representatives of near ly a million and a hob? of Liberal voters do not propose to surrender to the representatives of less than four hundred thousand voters. Such is the outcome of tho meeting of yesterday and all over England, no doubt, the result will bo regarded as the only one that could bo arrived at under the circumstances of the case.

The Liberals may have made a mistake in presenting the scheme for an Irish Parliament so suddenly before the country, but having done so thero is nothing for thorn but to stick to their guns and fight out tho contest to the bitter end. The outcome of the meeting is a great personal triumph for Mr. Morley, who has been but a short time in politics, but who now holds a commanding position among the Liberals, second only to that of Mr. Gladstone himself. There were men among the Liberal chiefs who would have been willing to hold out a hand of conciliation to the Liberal Unionists, and it waB even whispered that Mr.

Gladstone was one of them, but Mr. Morley fought stoutly against this proposal and ho carried his point. Mr. Gladstone yielded, if indeed he had ever wavered, and now the whole party, through its representatives in the Liberal Federation, is pledged to a continuance of that policy of Homo Rule for Ireland on which Mr. Gladstone was defeated a few weeks ago.

Tho attendance at the meeting was very Monday morning: He denied that he took part in tho murder, bat confessed that tho razor used was his and that he knew when the young man was killed. A gentleman who came in from Leo County last night says tho negro was taken back to the scene of tho murder and that preparations had been made to put him to death by burning. Tho people are enraged and both whllo and blaok aay the murderer must die. Goorgo Hart, tho other murderer, is still at largo and a largo reward Is offered for bis capture. The young man who was murdered was a cripple and leaves a widowed mother." ANNUAL RAILROAD RRPORTS.

Again Discussed by the Park Commissioners. Mr. Hartcau Objects to it and Mr. Somers Says a Word in Its FaYor The latter Gontleman Ready to Meet the Stephens libel Suit Without Assistance Appoint ment of a Meteorologist Opposition to the English Gardener. A special meeting of the Board of Park Commissioners took place yesterday afternoon in tho City Hall.

Tho mepbors present were Henry Hartoau, Crossmnn Lyons, Goorgo W. Oakley, D. N. Somers, Goorgo L. Fox, Francis Markey, President James F.

Easton and Socrotary Smith. Tho minutes of tho lust mooting woro rend and approved. Commissioner Harteau arose and said: I riso to a question of privilege in this order of business. It le, Mr. President, to bring to notice in a formal manner a suit now pending for damages against Commissioner Somers.

brought by Benjamin F. Stephens, Manager of tho Kings County Water WorkB. It is, in reality, an action agnlnst tho Board of Commissioners; therefore, I deem it proper that this body take cognizance of tho transaction. It Is but doing simple Justice to our coiloague whoso honosty of purpose no dlainterostod person I boliovo will doubt, aud also that ho has shown unusual zeal and energy In discharging his duties to tho solo interest of the public. His declarations that wntor from the Park source was surreptitiously used by the Kings County Water Company wore basod not only upon tho examination of tho promises, but ovldonco from parties using and knowing the same to bo wator from Prospect Park rosorvoir.

I havo henrd ovidonce to that effect I hnvo also road an affidavit from ono of tlie Coney Island hotel proprietors to substantiate this c.hargo of "stealing," nnd I also examined receipts for the payment of water thnt was collected by tho company of which Mr. Stophons, tho plaintiff, is manager. Whon thoso facts came to tho knowlodgo of our colleague is it surprising that a man of his tomperamont, coupled with nn honost indlgnntlon should, iu ox pressing his feelings, use tho Groely lexicon of languago? Now that a complaint has boen lllod asking the tho modest sum of 550,000 damages for calling such transactions by tholr right name, I fool that this matter from tho evidence in possession of tho investigating committee, belongs, as I have beforo intimated, to this Board of Commissioners to vigorously defend. I will vonture an opinion after carofully reading the complaint, Including Stophons' boastful card to the press, that a dornurror can bo successfully sustained, namely, no causo for action on tho part of tho plaintirf. Probably this is not tho period or timo to refer to tho unwillingness of Mr.

Stoplieus to appear beforo tho investigating committeo (a meeting called for that purpose) to explain away and refute tho allegations made against hl3 water compnuy that tho Park waiorwas, in a clandeatiuo manner, contributing to his works la supplying Coney Island; alMO, not tho timo to rofor to the subterfuge rosortod to by representatives of tho' Kings County Water Company, declining to appoar beforo a mooting of the investigating committeo, as 1 said boforo. called expressly by his request for tho purpose named. To mako his declinntiou more plausible than forcible ho calls to hia aid his attorney, who takes tho usual course in desperato caaos, advise his client not to appear nor to answer any que3ilon9 concerning tho issue. Mr. Stophons wants damages.

Is it because our associato has boon instrumental to unearth a water fraud upon tho city? I repoat that under allcircumtancos, moro particularly to tho past action of this Board relating to tho Prospect Park waior supply, wo should step In aud assume tho responsibility of tho cano. I move thai the loilowtng resolution bo adopted and placed on rocoril Reuolvetl, That tho Board of Park Commissioners recognize the suit brought by Benjamin Stephens as plaintiff against Commissiomr Seniors, iu the diBchargo of his duty as such Commissioner nnd n3 defendant in said caso, and thnt too wholo subject bo nnd Is horoby roforrod to tho Hxeeulivo Commil tou for Huch disposition of tuo matter as thoy may tloem wiso nnd propor, the said committeo to roport from timo to timo to the Board of their action in the promisor for such further instructions as tho Commissioners may order and diroot. Com. Somers aroso and said that ho was perfectly able to meot tho caso of Mr. and while thanking the Board for thoir friendship ho thought thoy did not havo tho power undor the law lo act in tho premises.

Ho said that lie had a good cnao and was lvaily at any time to tako caro of inmsolr. Ho had nover hoard of Mr. Stophons boforo tho park wator was spokon of, and after discovering tho leak ho took action. Ho said tho only expense attached to tho suit would bo his lawyer's toos and ho hoped the Board would tnoot next wook whon ho would be able to hand in a report of all he know iu regard to tho park water question. Com.

Hartoau wanted to stand by his colleague, but Com. Alarkey moved to lay tho resolution on the table aud It was so ordorod. The secretary read tho reports of tho dlfforont committees, all which woro adopted. Com Hnrteau said ho objectod to musical performances at tho carrousel on Sunday. Com.

Somora eaid that was not as well off nB ho and his friend Hartosu woro, aud thoroforo bo thought s'lnm indulgence should be grantod to poorer peoplo who could only visit tho park on Sunday. He know of ono pour lady who wont to tho carrousel with hor children on Sundays, and when sh9 found out the music was absent sho folt L'riuvod. bocause sho loved music and it pleased hor littlo ono who "could only hcarltoiico a wook. lie said ho was iu favor of having sacred music in tho pnrk. lie belonged to the same church with Brother Hartoau, but no hoped tho gentlemen of tho Board would aide with him iu giving the poor peoplo the privilege of listening to ood music on Sundays.

Mo dellnito action was taken. Thore ensued a lengthy debate on Meeting a meteorologist for tho park; but dually S. A. Dunn was elocted to fill tho position. John T.

Hamilton, Superintendent of Labor, sont in acorn municaliou roooni mending that the National and State law recognizing eight hours as a day labor bo Introduced in tho parks. It was moved and seconded that tho communication bo laid on tho table and it was so ordered. Tho question of appointing a bookkeeper aud clork for park servlco raided a bronze. Com. Hartoau said it was a shamo.

The Republicans are: Dowes, of Massachusetts; Hawley, of Connecticut Miller, of Now York Mitchell, of Pennsylvania; Sovroll, of Now Jersey; Conger, of Michigan; Harrison, of Indiana; Sawyer, of Wisconsin McMillan, of Minnesota Tan Wyck, of Nobraska, and Williams, of California.

A special to tho ReptMican from Sodalla, says: "The blttor feeling existing between tho Gentry and Heard factions of the Democratic party came very near rosulting In bloodshod yesterday afternoon. Major William Gentry published a card In one of tho local paper3 Tuesday, In which ho ropudlated Congressman Hoard, and gave as a reasou that the latter bnd pandered to the Knights Labor. Yesterday morning Heard published oT card denouncing the charge that he pandered to the Knights of Labor as an Infamous falsehood, and asserting that bis refusal to recommend Mr. Gentry's eon in law for Postmaster of Sodalla was the truo causo of the difficulty between them. Shortly after 1 o'clock T.

W. Olonoy, the sou In law of Major Gentry, stepped into the office of SIcner'B hotel, where tho Congressman and his brother wero Boated. Heard spoke ploosantlv to Clonoy who turned fiercely upon him and cnllod him a lying Heard waB in tho act of arising to his foot to resent tho insult whon Cloney seized a cane aud doalt htm a sovoro blow on tho Bide of tho head. Tho Congressman was on his feet in an instant, wrestod tho cane from his assailant and throw him to the floor. "Friends separated tho combatants and endeavored to offeat a reconciliation.

Thoy afterward camo togetherln tho hallway, whon Cloney njado a motion toward his hip pookot, a3 If to draw a revolver. Hoard anticipated him and called upon Cloney to defend himself. The latter threw up his hands, exclaiming I am Hoard remarked to him that tho matter might as well bo sotlled now as any time, and advised Cloney to arm himself. Tho latter loft tho building and Hoard returned to the office. Five minutes later Major William Gentry entered tho room and, stepping up to Heard, seized him by tho shoulder.

Ho was greatly excited, but before any blows wero exchanged Hoard broke away from him and drow his revolvor. The room was crowdod with excited men by this time aud the angry politicians were separated before any Injury resulted to blthor. Following so close upon ono of tno most blttor political contests that have ever taken place In the dlstrlot, the hasty meeting between these noted leaders of the Democratic party created a great sensation. Mutual friends havo endoavored to effect a reconciliation botwoon tho chief actors, but nothing In that direction has been accomplished. Both men are impulsive by nature and cordially hato eooh othor, aud it is fearod that when they meet again the trouble will bo renewed." HURD, MORRISON AND CARLISLE.

Comments on the Surprising Results in Tbrce (Jonsrrcuslonal Districts. Louisville, November i. The Courier Journal says editorially to day: "Tho defeat of Hurd and Morrison and the narrow escapo of Carlislo should awaken the Democracy from Its slumbers and dostroy its falso sense of security. In the result of Tuosday wo hear a trumpet call to battle. There are traitors wlthiu tho camp; thore aro Bpies evory where; there are dangers that threaten us, that can only bo conquered by roleutlosaneas, by unremitting, unwavering warfare.

Tho House is saved to us, but If lost It should only impress on ub tho noceBsity of putting on tho wholo armor ot Democracy. The gigantic powor of concentrated and 111 gotten wealth of tho North is arrayed against us. It was this wealth that mado Hurd'B victory Impossible; It was this woalth that was ponred out llko water la Morrison's district; it was this blood money that organized the labor societies Covington and Newport against Mr. Cnr llsle.

The tabor Vote and the Democracy. The sentiment is general that politicians must take the Labor vote into account. Mr. Joseph J. O'Donohne, one of the lenders of Tammany Hall and the Chairman of its county convention, presided at the meeting in 'the "VVigwnm on the night of election.

"While reading off tho returns that staunch Democrat incidentally said "These votes for George are really by men who belong with ns. Ijet ns welcome their return to tho fold and make our policy and organization largo enough for them to come in. Mr. Hewitt, ns Mayor, should give an administration which will satisfy tho just demands of all tho workingnien and of all the divisions of tho people." Mr. O'Donohue is a business man and a prndent, honest and successful one.

Ho has always been a Democrat, a liberal contributor to the interests of the party, a wise advisor and a loyal adherent to the Tammany organization even when his ambition and its desire on his behalf for party preferment havo not been regarded. He has the friendship of many Brooklyn Democrats and tho respect of all of them, whether as an organization or as citizens. An especial distinction attaches to him for having been the first to discern and declare, amid the jubilations of victory, tho wisdom and necessity of making Democracy aB large in its intendment and membership as the workingmen who have gone from its fellowship in a local election. Announcement is already made that Mayor elect Hewitt is to act upon the suggestion of his friend, Mr. O'Dononuo.

Mr. Hewitt, it is reported, means to seek a consultation with Mr. Henry George and other leaders of the Labor vote and to ask them to indicate what the grievances in civic administration are of which organized Labor complains, to point out how in their judgment the Mayor's powers can be exercised to meet, redress ov reduce those grievances and to give him all the light they can on tho subject in general and in particular. Undoubtedly tho invitation is ox tended in good faith, and it is to be hoped that in the same spirit it will be accepted. A clear statement of the views and wants of thoso in the Labor movement would be of assistance, and tho solicitation of it by the elected chief of the government of the metropolis would be an act of timely statesmanship.

The response would of necessity havo to bo divisible into two parts. Ono part would comprise the things which the Labor voters think are directly within the power of the Mayor. The other part would comprise the matters to which tho Mayor would bo asked to give the weight of his position as an official and a statesman of high rank. A Btatement under these heads which was concisely framed and clearly oxpressed would command widespread attention. It would be a means of valuable information to all.

If it did nothing else it would bring the cause of Labor within the field of operative politics. It would elicit respectful and comprehensive reply, which might be a valuable educator to the public in what can and cannot be done under a government of distinct and limited powers; of what can be done under the administrative branch of the government of what must be referred to the legislative branch and of what must be left to the outworking of the reciprocal interests of employers and employes. Tho political class in Republicanism andinDemocrauy needs instruction concerning the desires and demands of Labor. The rank and filo of the Labor voters themselves need instruction concerning what government can do and cannot do. He will be doing a work of statesmanship and philanthropy who will establish an exchange of views between tho two forces.

The Democratic party in the Stale of Now Tprk have sought to do something which the Labor men profess to appreciate. The Legis latuioaLtliuf, party snbmilted tlie question of contract convict labor to the people. The Democracy as a party voted against tho The representatives in subsequent Legislatures and its Governor, Mr. Hill, have re Bpocted the mandate of the people against the system. Its Republican Legislatures have omitted to pass a substitute for the system, though urged to do so.

Of Democratic parentage also are the bills which have provided a Labor Commission of Arbitration, a Bureau of Labor Statistics and a State Commission relative to the employment of children in factories. These are measures of a practical character. They havo notably reduced the friction between employers and employes. They have provided a medium for the settlement of disputes. They have made a Labor opinion favorable to such settlements.

It is not the fault of Governor Hill that his propositions for still other measures, agreeable to the request of Labor organizations, have been negatived by Republican Legislatures. There are other remedial measures within the clear powers of government. Government in the interest of safety and health, to say nothing of the matter of tho interest of morals, has a right to pass enforce a law respecting the construction of tenements. Thy should be made to conform to sanitary requirements of sjiace, light and air, so that they may be homes, not dens. A like supervision of lodging houses is within the purview of government.

The provision of industrial education in schools supported by taxation is also a matter which legislation can secure. The discharge of employes by common carriers, chartered by the State, only for cause exhibitod is, we think, as truly within the power of legislation as tho regulation of tho hours of service of such emiiloyes, which has been already enacted. These and cognate measures go to the practical wants of the wage earners. They aro more feasible than novel theories about taxation or enactments touching wages which aro incapable of enforcement, because there aro so many unskilled laborers in want of work thnt they will rush to hire out on their own terms, regardless of the conditions agreed on among united workmen. The Democratic party ought to be tho one alert and alive to the wants of workingmen.

It is the party which has added to our national area, by conquest or treaty, every inch that has been acquired beyond the limits of the original thirteen colonies. It is tho party which has abolished property restrictions on suffrage. It is the party which passed tho naturalization laws. It is the party which made all the fight against grasping corporations and monopolies that ever has boon made. It is the party which has maintained that the double prices which high tariff duties put on the necessaries of life are an oppression and an injustice to the poor.

Tho party has occasionally and of late not acted up to tho simple and manly standard which its time honored principles prescribe. Long out of national power, it became too often a party of oxpedients. On regaining powor, it was slow to remember the source from whence it sprung, the common people, and it has leaned toward the rich and away from the lowly and tho humble. An event which J'e stores between its elected servants and tho bone and sinew of the country the olden accord and tho sense of reciprocal interest will be saltuary and in the right sense progressive. Mr.

Wilber and the PrcNiiteut. Onr esteemed contemporary, tho Sun, appears to be anxious that President Cleveland shall call L'niled States District Attorney Mark D. "Wilber to account, for making a political speech in the Academy in this city or else that the President shall confess himself inconsistent, inasmuch as he has removed two United States District Attorneys for the offensive partisanship of stump speaking. As the Eagle understands tho facts, tho two officials removed were active to a degreo which cannot be predicated of Mr. Wilber at all in the instance alluded to.

They bad ar ranged to deliver a series of campaign ad dresses oyer an extended section of country, necessarily to tlie presumable neglect of their official duties and in violation of an explicit order of the Executive. Neglecting none of his official duties, Mr. Wilber talked to his home friends on a siuglo evening in the ono meeting of a local campaign. Thero is a palpable differenco between his ease and that of the others, a difference of substance as well as of degree. We do not bohevo Mr.

Wilber will bo.called The Democrats in Even the strongest partisan who, before election, denies or ignores unfavorable circumstances and suggestions can afford to look facts in tho faco after election. It will be wholesome for Democrats to do this now, whether those of them who have hitherto heartily supported President Cleveland or those who have regarded his administration without enthusiasm. There will be a Democratic majority in the House of Representatives of tho Fiftieth Congress, according to to day's indications, of ten. Corrected returns may push it up a little or force it down a trifle, but it fluctuates and will finally settle about this figure. In tlie present Congress it is forty three.

The effect of this loss upon legislation may not be important. Accidents apart, a measure prevails as effectually by a majority of half a dozen as by one of two score though accidents may happen and death, illness, or other untoward ovout might imperil a bill at a critical moment. But the significance of the reduction is' more weighty than its immediate rosults. A corresponding falling off in the popular Democratic vote might change tho political situation throughout tho Union and two years hence restore tho Ilopublicaus to power. Without supposing that this will occur, and attributing the surprising defeat or narrow escape of eminent leaders to special influences rather than any general drift of opinion, it is worth wliilo for practical statesmen and party managers to inquire into these particular causes and ask themselves whethor there is probability that they will expand into a moving force, national in its extent and widespread in its consequences.

It would be not unreasonable to look, in tho second year of a successful Federal administration, for the strengthening rather than tho weakening of its party in the popular branch of Congress. That President Cleveland's conduct of affairs has been upon the whole successful will scarcely be deuied even by those who worked tho hardest to prevent his election. It is true ho has not revised tho list of officeholders so fast ns somo of those who worked the hardest to Becure his election may have wished him to do; but the dutieB of tho various offices have been performed honestly and effectively and tho mass of the people care more for this than for the distribution of official patronage. It is true further that his views aro positive about somo questions as to which there are differences of opinion in either party; buthehasnot hold them aggressively and in announcing them has scrupulously confined himself to what may be called the jurisdiction of expression. For examplo, tho President and the Secretary of the Treasury, in message nnd roport, have ndvocated the most conservative financial doctrines, especially in regard to the multiplication of silver dollars; but the President has as emphatically declined to form and lead a political economic faction for the purpose of forcing his notions upon Congress.

Some newspapers, conspicu ously the esteemed Herald, have blamed him for not doing this very thing. Tho Presidont and the Secretary of the Treasury have spoken as plainly in urging tho rejjeal of war taxos in the form of excessive customs duties and in calling for a liberal revision of tho tariff laws. But here again he has shown no purpose to organize a free trade or revenue reform party in Congress. The silver question has not made a percep tible impression on the late canvass. Tho other one undoubtedly has done so and in measuring its influence it should be remem bered that whatever has been done to force it as an issue has been done outside of the Executive Mansion nt Washington.

It would bo foolish to mnko light of its influence. It has defeitcd Colonel Morrison in Illinois. It has left Mr. Frank Hurd at homo Ohio. It has treated Speaker Carlisle to the sensation of a "close shave." It has taken four seats from the Democrats in Virginia and given them to a popular combination of Republicans, Labor men and independent Democrats.

This much is certain. It is altogether probable that the tariff agitation had something to do with tluj retirement of other Democrats, though special local disaffection may have ojjorated in those eases, as in tho case of that valuable objector, Mr. Hol man, of Indiann. But in thoso first mentioned there aro no mixed causes. Against these will be set the success of revenue reform candidates in the highly protective State of Massachusettsa fact which nt least shows that the changes of opinion on the subject which have been going on within parties aro not confined to any section of tho country.

But the significance of what has happened in the West and in the Southwest is too plain to be mistaken. The absence of Mr. Morrison from the next Congress will be regretted, because able and courageous men aro needed there, and all shades of opinion should be represented. If Mr. Carlislo shall have actually lost his seat and this is an improbable event a strong and upright statesman will be lost for tho present to tho lawmaking service But it should be distinctly understood that, while free traders, or revenue reformers of the class which can only with difficulty be distinguished from the former, may with propriety have a place and a hearing in Congress they are not at liberty to read out of the party" men who differ with them on tho tariff question.

Mr. Randall has often been proposed as a vicarious victim to this process of exclusion. Tuesday's elections seem to show that a very considerable number of voters would have to.be road out" with him. Whatever notions any of us may entertain as to the abstract righteousness of free trade, its practical expedience and its ultimate attainment, it should be sufficiently clenr that the people the people in the Democratic party as well as in others are not ready for free trade just yet. Whether it is well to make this dogma an issue at all hazards, to form upon it a new political organization, to postpone every other public interest to its agitation this is a fair matter for discussion, and able and unselfish men could make a strong argument for such policy.

But nothing is plainer than that it cannot be made a successful issue within tho Democratic party. There is already a strong sentiment against it in that party nnd the new force which must enter into all' political estimates, the organized workingmen, is for the present of tho opinion thatfreo trade will not promote the interest of labor. If the dogma is forced upon tho Democratic party the party will be defeated. The Local Vote. Thero are some features of the election re turns in Brooklyn and Kings County which will afford opportunity for instructive examination by voters of all partieB.

Out of the total registration of 108,5170 in tho city leBs than 100,000 voted. The strength of the nominees on tho county ticket called out for them more voters than gave their adherence to tho candidate for Judge of the Court of Appeals. Mr. Ridgway, who lends his colleagues, received 53,087 in tho city proper nnd 55,824 in tho whole county, while General Tracy's city vote wna 42.110 and his entire county vote reached 13,007. Mr.

Ridgway's pluralty is 12,817 on the comploted figures. Major Beecher polled a much smaller vote than the noise and boasting of his supporters would have led tho public to expect. His total is 2,451, nearly three times as large as the number given to Dr. Funk, when ho ran for Mayor in the triangular contest of 1885. Mr.

Beeeher's supporters, as was expected, were chiefly in the Republican wards. His candidacy would not, however, have materially affected the result either way. If ho had withdrawn from the field his retirement might havo added slightly to the number of General Tracy's supporters, but his withdrawal could in no evont have seriously impaired tho heavy majority given for Mr. Ridgway. Not only did Mr.

Ttidgway recoivo large majorities in Democratic wardB, but the figures show that many Republicans cast their votes for him. That the Democratic workers concentrated their efforts in his behalf is as apparent as that their labor was intelligently and effectively directed. Indeed, the campaign was the most vigorous over conducted on the Democratic side in Brooklyn. To the normal Democratic strength was added tho undivided support of tho organized Labor voto. Tho Democrats very shrewdly other, acaiuat tho lutereata of tho workingmen.

The Eagle does not know what thnt speaker meant, any more than our correspondent did. There is no owner of the Eagle and there is no one in its Bervice that has any business relations with William Richardson or with any of his enterprises.

The Eagle's support of General Tracy was caused by the rr nsons set forth in these columns and by thoso reasons alone. The business relations of Tracy nnd Richardson with one anotner we Know nothing about, beyond what they said con nrninc them dunntr the camuaign. With neither tho ono man nor the other has this paper, or any one in any way connected with this paper, any relation "tir interest whatever. Whoever the speaker to whom A Ninth Ward Democrat" refers was, he was either a fool or a knave. A fool, if he was told and believed any such thing ns he said; a knave, if he originated it.

Thorn is no rnrad transit scheme in which the Eagle or any one on tho Eagle, or of the Eagle has any interest which any other citizen does not have.

The Park Commission Tho meeting of tho Park Commission on Wednesday was significant for what was not done.

The motion of Commissioner Hartcau that the Commission assume the suit, which B. F. Stephens is said to have brought against Commissioner Somers, was, at the lattor's request, not acted upon. Mr. Somers said ho had a good case and could take care of him self.

Tho suit is based on allegations ascribed to Mr. Somers touching tho relations of tho park water supply to the system of water supply constructed and conducted by Mr. Stephens at Sheepshead Bay. Tho willingnesB of the Board to substitute itself for Mr. Somers waB chivalric, but Mr.

Somers' request that such a stop bo not taken was complied with. Wisely, wo think, no action was taken on Commissioner Harteau's motion to discontinue music at the Carrousel on Sundays. It should be continued thero. Tho park is for all the people. The majority of the people do not go to church.

The non churchgoers ns a majority have, therefore, more property in tho park than the churchgoers, as a minority, have. BeBide, thoro are many churchgoers who aro themselves in favor of music thero on Sundays. The Sabbath was made for man, not man for the Sabbath. The American peoplo, especially as many of them as live in cities, propose to be the judges of their own conduct and to provide for themselves what phosnres, that do no not interfere with others' rights, they please, on Sunday or any other day. In music thero is neither a moral nor an immoral character.

The question is solely a melodic one and thero is more need for that form of recreation on the holiday which begins the week than on any othor day of the week. In the churches the use of music has gone far beyond the purpose of worship which is at the basis of its introduction in them. In tho resorts of the people, maintained by the people for their own use, music should be provided on a libernl scale. The Board did well to tnblo tho motion, for its adoption would havo aroused the indignation of the people. There ib a completo remedy for those who do not like muBic in tho park on Sundays: they can stay away from tho park on that day.

There is certain to bo a great removal of restrictions on Sundays, not an increase or a renewal of them. The right of innocent amusement on Sundays will ere long stand on a pnr with the right of unhampered worship on the samo day. Law eventually will simply see to it that the use of tho ono right is not let interfere with tho exorcise of the other. It will not lot a brass band play in front of a church or a prayer meeting be held in the parks or squares where the people assemble for enjoyment. The Park Commission will do well to leave tho matter alone.

In the Board a tie votewns reached on tho question of the appointment of a Horticultural Superintendent. Three Commissioners voted for a competent person, who happens to be an Englishman. Three others voted for a man whose competency is not assured and is at least questionable, on the oxpross ground that he is a Brooklynite. In so voting Easton said he "thought thoro was talent enough in the city, and he did not see the necessity of going outsido, especially to England for a gardener." President Easton is the amiable appointee of an American Mayor who was oloeted by virtue of the broad policy of the Domocratic party in going outsido" for voters, his majority having been assured by the ballots of men born in Ireland and Germany. Mr.

Easton might himself have been born in England without any reflection on himself, tho British Empire or this glorious Republic. Tho important thing would be his intention to become a citizen of the United States, an intention which we believe Mr. J. F. Johnston himself haB.

To bo logical, Mr. Easton should fool a bitter opposition to the discovery of this continent by Spaniards and Italians, and insist that it should have been originally discovered by some Brooklynite. We are surprised at his burst of Know Nothiugism, and suppose that, after this explanation, he is, too. Tho Retirement of Dir. ISyder.

Among tho unexpected results of Tuesday's election was tho defeat of Mr. Join L. Ryder, who was running for re olection to the Board of Supervisors from the Town of FlatlaudB. Mr. Ryder has represented the town for thirty two years.

During that period he has served the county with ability and energy. His knowledge of local affairs, his strict integrity of character and his careful attention to duty havo combined to make him rank as ono of tho most useful members of tho Board. Hie political convictions havo at no time interfered with his conscientious discharge of the functions with which ho has boon invested. Considered from the personal and business standpoint, his retirement will be looked upon by good citizens as a serious loss to tho public service. Mr.

Ryder will carry with him into private life the respect and confidence of his large, and embracod representatives of evory branch of tho federation in tho United Kingdom. After a report had been read, showing that, despite tho secession of Mr. Joseph Chamberlain and his association had increased by one hundred branches, a resolution was carried by acclamation declaring the confidence of the meeting in Mr. Gladstone. Tho prinoipal speakers wero Mr.

Morley and Sir William Harcourt, the fornior maintaining and advocating the uncompromising attitude toward tho Liberal Unionists already indicated and the latter devoting his powers of sarcasm to tho Tories, particularly Lord Randolph Churchill, of whom he observed that a man who criod both "heads" and "tails" was likely to win. Ho maintained that if Ireland was now free from crime it was because of tho remedial legislation of Mr. Gladstone nnd the hope that with the assist ance of the Liberals Ireland would yet get a government according to her wishes. After what occurred at this meeting tho Liberal party in England may be regarded as permanently divided into two camps, much as tho Half Breeds nnd Stalwarts were in our own State. As family quarrels aro proverbially the most bitter, we may see on the other side of the water Liberals and Liberal Unionists more anxious to defeat each other than their common enemy the Tories.

We mny see necessary Liberal legislation retarded and the interests of the country imperilled, be cause of this violent faction fight in what was once a great party. If the Liberals at their meeting yesterday had Btopped after indorsing Home Rule for Ireland they would have left themselves in a position to be wholly powerless against the Tory and Unionist combination. But they did what has never been dono before at any similar meeting laid down a distinct programme of Liberal measures and ono which is to constitute its platform. For tho first time in tho history of the party Radicalism has triumphed over old fashioned Liberalism and a bill of faro is presented to the electors such as a year or two ago would have been deemed impossible. Its first and probably its most important feature is tho establishment of free elementary schools; the necond is a reform in the registration laws tho third is the amendment of tho land laws in the direction of peasant proprietorship, and the fourth is that' Ireland shall havo a legislative assembly of her own.

It is for thceo measures that the Liberal party will fight when Parliament meets, and on them they will go to tho country when another election takes place. If the Democratic majority in tho Fiftieth Congress depends on the votes of Tim Campbell and Frank Spinola there will be nothing to fear. They belong to the corps of Old Reliables." Of the two Frank is the greater warrior and Tim tho greater statesman. A dispatch to the World states that Democrats in Washington attribute Judge Peck ham's triumph to the kindness and magnanimity of Governor Hill. There is no doubt at all that the Governor's political foresight in securing the labor vote for Peckham did the business.

It is a fact which deserves all the emphasis it is pretty sure to reccivo both hero and elsewhere. Tho David of tho Now York Democracy was never more interesting than he is to day. According to the theory which accountsfor the Democratic disasters on the ground that the President's retention of Republicans in office has demoralized the party, Indiana ought to have done better, comparatively, than any other Democratic State. As a matter of fact, she hns done worso. Sho has lost tho State ticket and returned a majority of Republican Congressmen.

And yet Indiana is the one State in which thero has been an almost completo sweep of tho old sot of officials. Over 70 per cent, of them were turned out and Demoorats appointed in their places. Thore must bo something wrong with tho theory, at least so far as the Hoosier Commonwealth is concerned. the election for Supreme Court Judge last year in Colorado, the Republican candidate had 5,316 majority. Now the State is doubtful, with the chances in favor of Alva Adams, tho Democratic candidate for Governor, while tho gains in the Legislature are so heavy ns to render likely the return of a Democratic United States Senator two years hence.

How is tho chango to be accounted for Easily enough. The bulk of the Labor vote was cast for the candidates of tho Domocratic party. The heads of tho Colorado working men are exceedingly level. There is one Repnblican in Connecticut bo liberal and bo progresBivo that the monstrous injustice of tho system which permits the Legislature to elect a minority candidate Governor must strike him as a crime against popular government. His name is Joseph R.

Hawley. However, his conviction on the matter will never interfere with his interests. He will take a Senatorship from the same Legislature and would take a Governorship, too, if he could get it.
