'THE BEOOKLYN DAILY EAGLE THUBSDAY, OCTOBER 28, 1897. MISCELLANEOUS. MISCELLANEOUS. NEWS FROM THE SUBURBS, LATEST LONG ISLAND NEWS, have at last become utterly weary of this state of things. The interests at stake in the Greater New York are too Immense for them to be regarded any longer as legitimate party spoil.

The coming mayor will have enough to do to serve the city well without trying at the same time to serve Cils party. No man can serve the boss and tbe people at the same time. Let us follow the of European cities and try the experiment of a purely business government, and see If we cannot keep our great city abreast of foreign cities in the march of municipal progress. Tho opportunity Is at our door. It is because the platform of the Citizens' Union embodies the above principles that I snail vote and work for the election of Seth Low.

He Uses Very Plain Language in Talking to a Twenty sixth Ward Audience.

Henry George came to Brooklyn last night and at a mass meeting in East New York he called Croker and Piatt blackmailers and threatened if elected to send them to the penitentiary if they could not satisfactorily explain their great wealth. He spoke kindly of Seth Low, but did not favor his election as he was an aristocrat and would not govern the great city for tbe masses. It was late when Mr. George arrived at Schiellein's Hall, on Atlantic avenue, nearly 10:20 o'clock. But there were good speakers and the audience was well entertained till the candidate came.

Out on the sidewalk a brass band tooted away for an hour, and although there wasn't an abundance of harmony there was plenty of noise. John J. Foot, the man wbo was forbidden the right to speak at the Democratic city convention, held In the Grand Central Palace, New York, when Bernard J. York voted for the entire Brooklyn delegation, was presented as chairman. Mr.

Foot related his experience on that occasion, and told how the gag law had been worked. Mr. Foot Introduced Charles W. Dayton, candidate for controller, who made an address full of good points. "Last night," said Mr.

Dayton, "in the upper part of the Borough of Manhattan were two meetings called to ratify the nomination of Henry George for mayor (applause); ona of those meetings numbering 4,000, and the other, less than a mile away, attracting over 8,000 people. And yet it is only a week ago that the wise prophets of Tammany Hall admitted that Henry George would poll 15,000 votes. Less than a week ago they raised tha amount to 30,000 and now in the inner chamber of Tammany Hall they are wondering if there is a chance for Van Wyck." (Cheers and applause.) Following Mr. Dayton, Martin Williams spoke. He kept the audience laughing and cheering.

His strongest polut was when ha advocated the granting of suffrage to women. It was while J. P. Kohler was speaking that Mr. George entered the hall.

In a second ho was recognized and the playing of "Hail to the Chief" by the baud was the cue for applause. Men and women stood up and shouted themselves hoarse. Mr. Kohler tried to speak, but it was useless. After some minutes Mr.

George succeeded in restoring order, when Mr. Kohler was allowed to finistt his speech. When Mr. George arc.se to speak there waa another big demonstration. Mr.

George said during the course of his remarks: "Fellow Democrats I have come here from a long row of meetings; meetings crowded; meetings earnest and enthusiastic. I have come here in what time I could make to show myself to you and to say as well as I could what I stand for and how much I appreciate the honor and the responsibility. I am here as the nominee of earnest Democratic citizens. (Applause.) Earnest Democrats holding to the faith of Thomas Jefferson. Earnest Democrats who have waited and hoped and prayed for the coming of a true Democratic party.

American men who are tired of tho sham Democracy, of the Democracy of Grover Cleveland (hisses), of the Democracy Of Rich ard Croker (hisses), of tbe Democracy which, finds it necessary to have an individual come from a racing trip in England and name his man in a whisper and allows him to drive out any citizen who would offer tbe slightest remonstrance. A Democracy of strength and of power; a Democracy that we love and cherish is not that kind of a Democracy. The rooster that in the old times headed its banners did not crow for things like these. The old Area still burn; the Democracy that Jefferson founded and Jackson loved, the true Democracy, is here. (Great applause.) "My friend who has preceded me has said that if I am defeated I be beaten by my friends.

Not so. (Applause.) Such friends I have not. My friends never have betrayed me; never ili. (Applause.) I was nominated and elected before by the working men; I will be elected again by the working men. I go into this fight with perfect confidence, absolute confidence.

If the voters choose to say on eleci ion day that they prefer Mr. Croker, that they prefer Mr. Tracy, or Mr. Low I bow to their will. But I have no fears.

I will be voted for; I will be elected. (Applause.) "I will stand as your representative; representing the common perple in this great municipality. I will do honestly and Justly with the best intentions and the best knowledge that I can command. I can do no more. I will take that power; I will exhaust every means to see if there has been stealing here.

(Long continued applause.) I do not take Mr. Croker's advice to go, an humble citizen before the grand jury his grand jury. If no accusations will hold'good. against him. well and good.

Lot him go forward with perfect safety if I am not elected. But if I am elected, if there are transactions which cannot stand the light; if he has. been selling offices; if he has been blackmailing trusts and corporations; if he has been compelling men who work for a living to seek (a voice, "God help "Aye, God help him. I will not. Let him go and quickly.

"Piatt Is simply the other branch of the corrupt tree. Piatt has run the Republican machine as Croker has run the Democratic machine. I have the same feelings toward Piatt as I have toward Croker. The man vibS comes here from his horses and his races on the other side of the Atlantic and the man who comes here from Tioga both stand on the same plane so far as I am concerned. They have Eold and do sell, blackmail and still blackmail to day.

Where comes this money that they use so lavishly? "The Brooklyn Eagle has stated that ona corporation paid to Croker $350,000. Why, this is only one. There Is a long list. Do you think It marvelous that he can go to Europe like a prince? As for Mr. Piatt, he has had the Legislature for sale and its powers have been used to suit him.

If I am elected, then he had better take the first ship to foreign parts, where there is no extradition treaty. "Some of the friends of Mr. Low are mistaking me. Mr. Low is a respectable man.

He stood in the Republican party as I stood In the Democratic party. I have no quarrel with Seth Low. I ask simply that the people vote. If they choose to vote for Seth Low, I shall make no objection. Let them vote, let tho question be determined.

It is not very fair that I should ask my supporters to vote for Mr. Low. I would not and I could not. I am a Democrat (great cheers) and Mr. Low is a Republican.

I would reform things wita the power of the people and in the way of the people. I would reform them in the Democratic way and by Democratic principles. Mr. Low is an aristocrat. His reform is an aristocratic reform.

It is better, much better, but not good enough for me. (Applause.) Nor do I think it Is good enough for the men who are likely to vote for me. I stand here so as to give to them an opportunity to vote for the Jeffersonian Democracy. (Applause.) "It Is sad that Van Wyck. the nominee for tbe great office, has nothing whatever to say; that his mouth Is padlocked.

The worst thing about him is not that he went to a French ball; not that he got drunk, though I don't think a man who habitually goes to French balls and gets drunk occasionally is the proper man or person to come forward for such an office, still there ara worse things than going to French balls; thore are worst things than getting drunk and getting in charge of the police, and I must say for Van Wyck that the occasion ot his altercation with the police wden thoy arrested him reflects honor upon himself. As I understand it he objected that they should make any discrimination between him and a citizen who was not a judge, and ho was right In that and It does him donor. The miserable thing about him is that he should become the creation and tool of tlUa man Croker." Fiatbush Ministers Favor the Election of Seth Low AND GIVE THEIR REASONS. Mr. Wells Thinks Him the Best Expon ent of the Principles of Municipal Gov ernment Pastor Williams Wants a Business Administration Mr.

Hoyt Says Low Is Free From All Obligations Except His Oath of Office. Many pastors of the Fiatbush churches favor the election of Seth Low as mayor of the great city. Several of the number have expressed their views from the pulpit while others will do so before election day. Today they told an Eagle reporter why they favored Low's election. The statements of each follows: The Rev.

Dr. Cornelius L. Wells, pastor of Fiatbush Reformed Church: "I advocate the election of Seth Low for mayor for the reason that he is the best exponent of tfoe principles that ougbt to lie at the foundation of municipal government. These are: 1. That municipal affairs should so far as possible be entirely separated from national and state politics.

2. That municipal officials are to be selected solely with a view to their fitness and efficiency without any regard whatever to party affiliations. 3. That itshould be the sole aim of the municipal administration to give the people the best possible results for the money expended; no political assessments, no lubrication of itcbing hands, nothing but the welfare of the people and honest administration. Of the candidates in nomination I firmly believe we are most likely to secure all this by the election of Seth Low.

The Rev. C. S. Williams, pastor of the Fenimore Street M. Church Costly experience teaches that the government of large cities by political parties has been marked by incompetence and dishonesty.

A very large proportion of the offices have been turned over as rewards for political service. The methods employed by professional and habitual politicians have impaired their moral sense. As a result of "boss" government the adminstration of justice has been largely defeated and the various departments connected Into irresponsible machines to the "boss" and rob the people. The liberties of cities can be restored and the employment of scientific, economic and civilized methods secured only by administering our affairs as those of any other large and honorable business corporation, sending the politicians well sending them "to their own place." The man to do this in my judgment is Seth Low. He has no shady connection.

He is not up at auction. This is why he will get my vote. The Rev. G. F.

G. Hoyt, acting pastor of St. Paul's Church The coming municipal election centers, for me, exclusively upon principles involved. There are three which interest me more than others, as affecting the welfare of Greater New York. The first is to support the only bona fide qualifications of a municipal officer, namely, personal integrity, executive ability and absolute independence of other obligations than his oath of office.

The sec ond Is to resist the utterly impertinent politi cal issues with which a very simple question is so transparently complicated and by the hocus pocus of which a nominally popular gov ernment miscarries in a practical and unscrupulous oligarchy. The worst of ft is not merely that the peopfe are deluded by the politics and manipulated by the deals of bosses, rings and machines, but that so many actually welcome their slavery; that they organize them selves for more effectual submission to it, and that they eagerly employ any cheap casuistry dealt out to them as an apology for their sub mission. So long as we thus snirk our responsibility and abdicate our rights we must expect our welfare and our rights to be held very lightly by those elected to administer them. The third is to keep clearly in view the fact that public officers and laws in a democratic country have just the efficiency and sanction of the public opinion which they represent. Popular repudiation and protest must be expected for the administration of a public officer elected in the interests and under the control of a ring, rather than of the public welfare.

Corruption is the legitimate outcome of a public officer thus forced into conflict with the public welfare. And popular repudiation and protest must be expected for the interpretation of laws which represent one faction of the people rather than public opinion. If the issue on election day in Greater New York be to subserve the ends of national politics; if this indeed greater municipality has been called into existence for no worthier object than to provide the politicians of this country with a greater political arena or a greater warehouse of spoils, then let us call in the assistance of the entire United States and confess that greater is descriptive of our municipal degradation. But if the issue of the election is to provide this greater city with a government worthy of its name, uncorrupt, efficient and free, then let us face our responsibility fairly and vote for a qualified man, a man free from all obligations but his oath of office, a man devoted to the public welfare and supported by public opinion. The man, and the only man, in the present canvass who sntisfies these principles seems to me to be Seth Low.

The Rev. W. C. Blakeman pastor of the Lenox Road M. E.

Church The mayor of the consolidated city will have more power than the chief officer of any other city on earth. Wrhen William Tweed, the Tammany boss of a quarter of a century ago, was at last ousted from his place and made to smart for his malfeasance, he confessed his crimes, but defended his course on the grounds that It was not in the power of any human being to resist such opportunities for wealth as were presented to ono in his position. Then our metropolis was a city of S0O.O0O people. What will be the opportunities for the miscarriage of justice and for the misappropriation of the people's money with a population of Therefore we need for mayor a man who if possible Is absolutely incorruptible. Seth Low and General Tracy I believe to be such men.

Doubtless neither would stoop to make personal profit out of his great office. But then General Tracy will be under obligations to his henchmen and spoilsmen. He must, if elected, reward with office the men who have most largely contributed to the result. "To the victors belong the spoils" is almost a truism in politics. The ideal mayor is the one who has the most absolute impartiality; he is not bipartisan, but non partisan, and he has the fullest liberty to bestow office on the ground of fitness only.

The men who compose the Citizens' Union have no thought but that of an upright government and its candidate has no policy but to servo the best interests of all the people. For that reascn the most intellectual and pure minded men of the new metropolis favor the election of Seth Low. The Rev. William H. Boocock, pastor of Grace Chapel The issue before the people of the Greater New York this fall is "Government by Boss, or Government by People." Either a capable and honest administration of the affairs of the city in the intereu of all the people, or a political administration, at the dictation of a machine boss, in interest of some political ring cr party that eecms to me the choice presented the voters at the coming election.

It is a mystery any disinterested citizen can hesitate which way to vote. National Issues, such as those of protection or free trade, gold or silver, should be decided in national elections. Different parties aro necessary to represent different policies. And city elections should decide exclus. velocity issues.

With respect to municipa1 affaiis, only two parties are conceivable one. which contends that the city should be administered for the sake of a national party, and the other, which maintains that tho city be managed for its own sake. It is between these two parties that the choice must be made in November. The immediate, imperative need of our great city is, in the opin'on of a rapidly increasing number, a government, administered on strictly business principles for the advantage of all citizens, regardless of their party affiliations. Municipal problems, such as those of clean sanitary tenements, pure water, parks, schools, require for their solution chiefly singleness of eye and efficient business method Party govenrment in cities has had long trial, and the record Is uniformly dismal.

It has invariably subordinated the interests the city to the supposed interests of the party. Men without fitness or business capacity have again and again been appointed to office as a reward of party service. Inefficient and oftentimes corrupt government has been the result, and Lhe rights of tiie people have been shamelessly disregarded. It Is not strange that mny Has Queens $100,000 on Deposit in a New York Bank THAT SHE DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT? P. Halstead Scudder Says County Treasurer Phipps Told Him of the Accidental Discovery of That Amount Mr.

Phipps Denies That He Said Anything of the Kind and Townsend Scudder Thinks His Brother Is Mistaken. (Special to the Eagle.) Jamaica. L. October 2S At the annual meeting of the Queens County Non partisan Taxpayers" Associa' held yesterday afternoon, the secretary, Halstead Scudder, said that Charles L. Phiprs, county treasurer of Queens County, had reported to him that he had recently discovered a deposit of $100,000 in a New York bank to the credit of Queens County, of which no member of the Queens County Board of Supervisors had any knowledge, and that the discovery of this sum ex plained the cause of the alleged deficiency of $100,000 in the accounts, as turned over by his predecessor, Joseph Dykes.

The secretary also said that Mr. Phipps had informed him that the county accounts are in great confusion, debits and credits being wrongly placed, and that it was impossible for him to harmonize matters. Secretary Scudder in his annual report stated that the work of the association during the past year had been very successful. He claimed that through its labors Queens County had been saved over $100,000. Many bills calling for large and useless expenditures of money and for the creation of useless commissions had been killed and that the attention of the Board of Supervisors had been called to important matters in which they were requested to act wisely for the interests of the county.

They had paid attention to some of the suggestions and taken no notice of others. Reference wis made to tho saving in Oyster Bay, about on a bond sale in which the association claimed the credit of preventing the Bale of an issue of bonds at 1.02 ror which 1.07 was later obtained. The following officers were elected for the coming year: Lucian N. Mauley of this city, president; E. Piatt Straiten, Culleye roint, vice president; 1.

When County Treasurer Phipps was asked by an Eagie reporter this morning for the name of the bank in which he had found the missing $100,000 he seemed to be very much surprised, and said: "Mr. Scudder must have made a mistake; I know nothing about a deposit of $100,000 to the credit of Queens County in any bank, and as to the alleged deficiency of $100,000, that was ail straightened long ago." rown.send Scudder. counsel of the Board of Supervisors, when asked about this mysterious $100,000, said: "The secretary of the Non Partisan Taxpayers' Association evidently laboring under a misapprehension in his statement. Before Mr. Phipps gave a full receipt to his predecessor tho county accounts were all I audited property and balanced to a Queens County has money on deposit ait times in a number of hanks, but there is an ac curate record kept of it all by the county 1 treasurer, and his report is submitted to Board of Supervisors.

There is no suc amount as $100,000 unaccounted for, and for that matter there is. no county money unaccounted for." REPAIRS AT EDGEMERE. Far Kockaway. L. October 28 Messrs.

William Heiso and James Duncan, from tho Edison labratory at Orange, N. visited tho beach at Edgemero yesterday morning and took several photographic views of tho surf as it dashed over the ruined bulkhead in front of the Udgemere Hotel. A force of men is now at work repairing tho damage done by the recent high tide and storm. A large part of tho embankment. 50 t'eot by 100 feet, insido the bulkhead, which was washed away, will to restored at once.

The whole coast at Edgemero suffered from the storm and it is gradually being changed by the surf. The shore is strewn with timbers from the hotel bathing houses which were demolished. QUEENS COUjNTY ROADS. George Wallace Defends His Amendment to the Greater New York Charter. To the Editor of the Brooklyn Eagle: Your article in relation to Queens County indebtedness, in Tuesday's issue, is unfair and misleading in every respect in its references to myself.

The amendmenttothecharterwhich I prepared was necessary to protect the east eru towns. The original charter provided that the county debt should be apportioned by the city municipal assembly and the Queens County Board of Supervisors. I called the committee's attention to the fact, that both of these bodies belonged in New York City, as five of the eight supervisors would be residents of the city. Senator Stranahan, chairman of the cities committee, at once declared that would be unfair and that be would not like to have a debt of Oswego County adjusted by two outside bodies, both of which might be Interested against the county. The section was then amended so as to have the debt apportioned according to real estate valuation.

purpose was to have the matter arranged in fairness and to protect the eastern towns. The result is that the eastern towns reap a Sjreut advantage. The county macadam road mileage is much greater in the eastern towns than in that part of the county which is taken into the city in proportion to the assessed valuation. Tlie roads built this year in Jamaica and Newtown are nearly all built at town and village, expense, and the cost must be paid wholly by tho City of New York. Most of the roads in Flushing have also been built by the town or the villages within the town.

Long Island City has no county roads. It was agreed by the Hoard of Supervisors also that the improvements now being made on the road from Jamaica to Brooklyn be made a charge against the Town of Jamaica. On the other hand, the eastern towns have a large maeadam road mileage and only last week the Board of Supervisors added another twenty miles to Oyster Bay. I have not tile exact figures at hand, but I can count up from my own knowledge nearly one hundred miles of county macadam roads in the Towns of Hempstead. North Hempstead and Oyster Bay.

As these towns have tho lion's share of the county maradam roads and about one fifth of the real estate valuation (estimated), it will be seen that they gain immensely by the amendment referred to. You may ask if this is fair to the city. I think it is not unfair. These roads are used in tile spring, summer and fall by tens of thousands of city bicyclists. Tho number of those from the city who use them is greater than those living in the country.

The proportion is probably at least five to one. As the country towns cannot well afford to build all these roads for their city cousins, the city can help bear the expense, and thus fur delightful country rambles for so many tons of thousands of the cltv people. Yours truly. GEORGE WALLACE. Hockvillc Center.

AUSTIN CORBIN'S ESTATE. Mrs. Borrowe, His Daughter, Demands the Payment of Her Legacy A Referee to Be Appointed in the Case. 'Riverhead, L. October 2S Appearances at the proceedings in the matter of the final accounting of the estate of the late Austin Corbin that came up before Surrogate Nathan D.

Petty in the Suffolk County Surrogate Court yesterday afternoon, indicate that ihere is a row on over the settlement of Corbin's estate, that will not be settled in a hurry. The trouble has reached such proportions that the surrogate has decided to appoint a referee to hear the proceedings. The referee has not been appointed yet, but his name will be announced soon. The main trouble arises over the demand made by Mrs. Anna Corbin Borrowe for her legacy.

Her counsel, Robert Kelly Prentice, recently made a petition to the surrogate to order the executors to pay her the $67,500 bequeathed to her in the will. Her counsel stated that the will expressly made provision that she should receive her legacy when she attained the age of 28, hut, If she should get married then the legacy should be paid at once. Miss Anna Corbin was married on November 7, 3S96, after her father's death, to Hal lett Alsop Borrowe, which was much against the wishes of the Corbins. Since that time Mrs. Borrowe has not been at all friendly with the Corbins, and many unpleasantries have resulted.

This family quarrel was quite apparent yesterday at the proceedings. Mrs. Borrowe is very much opposed to the manner in which the proceedings are being conducted by the executors and others. She is particularly opposed to the account as filed by the executors, and has filed thirty pages of type written objections to it. Among other things sh alleges that the executors have not charged themselves with the true value of the Long Island Railroad stock held by Mr.

Corbin, which, she declares, was underrated fo a considerable extent. The executors charged themselves with the stock at 42 cents, when, according to Mrs. Borrowe, it should have sold at more than 80, Its value at the time of Mr. Corbin's death. The formal petition to have her legacy paid at once was made to day by Mrs.

Borrowers counsel. This was objected to by William J. Kelly, counsel for the executors, who are Mrs. Corbin. the widow, George S.

Edgell and Austin Corbin, jr. Mr. Kelly stated that the estate was in such shape that no legacies at all could be paid at present, and that he didn't know when it could be done. He also stated that the estate was not paying its expenses now and no available assets were at hand. Objection was also made to the account as filed, on the ground that certain claims therein made were not owing by the estate, while some assets were not in the account that should have been included.

Mr. Kelly also stated that the executors have found the estate in a most perplexing condition, which seems to deepen every day, that a number of large claims against the estate had been recently brought forward and the amount of the cleared estate seemed to be constantly decreasing, and that tho Corbins had themselves advanced large sums of money recently as additional collateral security for loans outstanding against the estate. The collateral inheritance tax of upward of $28,000 must be paid, he said, and that it would be manifestly unjust to pay any legacies at all before the estate was in better condition. It was stated in the proceedings that It was doubtful if, after debts and all other costs were paid, that there would be enough left to pay the legacies, dollar for dollar, and that it was the intention of the executors to pay these pro rata. Consequently, Mr.

Kelly argued, it would never do for the executors to pay Mrs. Borrowe her claim in full now. and then find that only part could be paid to some i other legatees. In answer to all this, Mr. Prentice, attorney for Mrs.

Borrowe, claimed that the estate was not so nearly bankrupt as Mr. Kelly tried to make out, but that it was entirely solvent, In substantiation of his claim he alleged that Austin Corbin, had been receiving a part of his legacy him by the will and In all i had received about $100,000. This was denied by Mr. Kelly. Counsel also appeared for the New England Mortgage Security Company, American Free hold Land and Mortgage Company, Bowditch MInott, creditors, to the extent of nearly $1,000,000, and County Judge Benjamin H.

Reeve of Greenport, as special guardian for Austin Andre Charofollion. These attorneys all objected to paying Mrs. Borrowe or any other legatee until their claims had been met. Some of the claims, though, are strenuously disputed by executors, and in one or two cases I suits have already been begun to force a set i tlement. An effort is also being made to have the executors of tho estate removed and to that i end a suit is alreday under way in the New York Supreme Court.

Judge Petty withheld decision in regard to i Mrs. Borrowo's demand for a quick settle i ment of her account, and announced that he would appoint a referee to determine the objected points. A CHECK TRANSACTION. Woodhaven, L. October 23 William Drew of Brooklyn, was arraigned before Judge Lauer yesterday and pleaded not guilty to a charge of passing bogus checks.

Tho candidate for Democratic Assemblyman in the Second Assembly District. Suffolk County, Is David S. Garland of Northport, who was born in Lynchburg, thirty yeira ago. After completing his education at Randolph Macon College, he studied law at the University of Virginia and" seven or eight years ago went to Northport, L. as an assistant editor on the staff of the American and English Encyclopedia of Law, published at Northport by the Edward Thompson Company.

He rapidly became edit In chief of the encyclopedia and so successful was his DAVID S. DARLAXD, Democratic Candidate for Assembly. Second District of Suffolk. management that when the Edward Thompson Company was reorganized, some time since, the men in the concern made him a. partner.

About a year ago tie married Miss Sam mis, the daughter of William H. Saramis, president of Northport. In private life Mr. Garland's goodfello wship renders him a strong candidate. He is in the prime of a young and aggressive manhood, and is able to appeal to a record that marks his fitness for the position to wbich he aspires.

He has a special knowledge of the law and proved business and executive ability. Democratic voters have the satisfaction of knowing that in voting for him they are voting for a Democrat loyal to the principles of the party. Since the nomination of Mr. Garland at the convention in Babylon early this month, he has been conducting an energetic campaign, and the Democrats of his district are putting ihemuolves enthusiastically in line to secure his election. Democrats of Northport have organized a campaign club that is doing effective work.

Mr. Garland mads the first speech of the campaign at the organization of this club, where the party enthusiasm and determination of the members to overturn the Republican majority in the district were strengthened by an eloquent and earnest address from his fellow townsman, Rowland Miles, and the businesslike appeal of John M. Dunn, the president of the club. Work has since been carried steadily forward. Mr.

Garland has visited or before the election will visit every point in the district. Everywhere Democrats have rallied to his support. On Monday night of this week he addressed the voters of King's Park, and in spite of a rainy evening he found a large audience which gave him a most cordial reception. Democrats of that town promise him a hundred majority. On Tuesday Mr.

Garland visited Centerport an(j Greenlawn, and last evening he addressed a meeting of the sterling Democrats of Smithtown. The remainder of ttie week will be devoted to a campaign on the south side, and on Monday next, unless indications fail, there will be an upheaval of the Democracy of the Second District and Republicans and their candidate for assemblyman, Mr. Burr, will have cause to look to their laurels.
