He may, with great show of reason, decline to lead the two earlier rehearsals, aud a split between the two societies will deprive Brooklyn of all the advantages gained by the rehearsals in TSflir York.

Our esteemed contemporary, the Union, has been presenting to the Eagle for some days past a number of questions in a variety of forms. In the press of more important matters we have not been able to give promptest tention to the queries of our contemporary we will now try to answer the most important of them, because, as a rule, an inquisitive temper should be encouraged, for inquiry is the parent of knowledge. We will begin by stating that our contemporary affects to be sorely puzzled by an ar Sudden Collapse of tbe Stegman More. interest of the Bepubucan party, looking tor a candidate with whom to go before the people successfully in tbat parry, sTJ prejudice, all sympathy, no matter how dear to me, no matter how deep my interest may be in them are completely eubjeoted to the common good of the party.

We say now that every taxpayer in Brooklyn would be justified in voting against every Republican candidate for any office and for every office until the leaders of the Republican party conclude to recognize this fact That the Republican party cannot exist in Kings County while it denies to us fair representation, and follows this up by unjust taxation.

The Republican conventiQns for the nomination of candidates for the county and city offices that are to be filled at the coming election, were held yesterday afternoon. The county nominees are For Sheriff, Jacob Worth for Charities Commissioner in the First District, Chauncey M. Felt for Charities Commissioner in the Second District, Jo seph'Reeve. The oity nominees are For Controller, William G. Steinnietz for Auditor, Albert Ammertnan.

Mr. Hale has reason to be hopeful.

His constituents have been so emphatio in their indorsement of his course in Congress and in politics in general that the very air ought to appear glorious and luminous. The success of the party of which he is one of the chief fuglemen has been so great in Maine, Indiana and Iowa, that he should be filled with boundless and limitless hope. The party of his adherence and love, started out in the Summer time with the avowed object' of regaining control of the House of Eepresenta. tives its only object and before the campaign is more than fairly entered upon it has been so successful in the achievement of its avowed purpose that it has virtually ceased making further contest on this point.

We must remember tbat when a political oarty goes Into a strife suoh as we are approacuing, into a strife suoh as we are striving to prepare for to day, tbat it considers two tbiogs.

Now, I Bay if there were no ohoice, no element of choice that should be deterininativo in this matter other than this, that this olemaut should determine the Question, and I anneal here tn thn nAram! r.ur Fifteenth At a meeting lu tho Directum Hnoius ot tho Academy of Mualo, Brooklyn. Wodn 'Sday evening October lfi, IS78, It waa resolved that tula mooting make a request to each of tho two conventions about to ruept to defer the nominations of Charities Commissioners, and appoint a committee ot contarouce to meot a committee of three (Sixteenth 9Totkl 165 from this meeting, to eeloot such oandldatos who are expected to furnish certain information to the census takers.

Representation in the Legislature is still apportioned in this State under the census taken in 1865, because the Republican party finds it to its advantage to ignore altogether the fact that a census of the population was taken in 1875. Instead of having the State reapportioned under a census taken three years ago, the apportionment is continued under a census taken thirteen years ago, and in defianco of one of the most explicit provisions of the State Constitution. How unfair this is to Kings County will be appreciated an instant, if it is remembered that, in 1865, the population of Kings County was returned by the census takers at 810,000, while in 1875 our population was returned by the same authority at 509,000. Our representation in CURRENT EVENTS. Honest John.

Why is it that Honest John French was not nominated for the Controllership yesterday by the Republican City Convention Why was it there was not a single vote cast for him although a week ago the delegation of the Twentieth Ward, which he is said to control, was pledged to press his claims upon the Convention What is the explanation of the fact that when tho convention assembled Major Barnes, who is Honest John's friend, withdrew his name from the list of candidates These are three questions of interest to Honest John and which the Eagle can answer easily. Honest John did not get the nomination because he has in his pocket $719.25 that ought to be in city treasury, according to the decision of the Supreme Court and according to the decision of common sense. He did not get any votes in the convention because every delegate knew that to put him in the race against the very man who put an end to the practice under which Honest John drew the $719.25 aforesaid, would be the extreme of political folly. His namo was withdrawn from the list of candidates because his friend, Major Barnes, desired to save his feelings It is true that Major Barnes, told the convention that though the Eagle had painted Mr. French as a Bort of 'Holy Willie' in local politics he was a truly good man, "but the Major could not deny this "little account." Now, if Honest John will simply consider this matter calmly, he will see that the Eagle hits been his best friend from first to last, and those have been false friends who told him to keep tho $719.25.

The Eaglb told him months ago that he could not possibly get elected to any office on the general ticket, unless ho returned the i mon throughout the city. I nominate Mr. George A. Ball. 1 Mr.

Uou.iricksou seconded tho nomination of Cavanagh; Daggett, of lUeve, whom be characterized aa th old war horso of the Republican Dart applause, nnd Kimball, of Stoers. Tue Chair called attention to the fact that no re gar 1 had Deen piid to the districts In making tb nominations. Sheriff Daggett said that as Mr. Roero was tha ouly man presented for hla district ho moved that Mr. be nominated by aoolamatlon.

Mr. Henry thouht they had hetter first see Just what tbe districts ware; bo the Chair read oft tha wards ia eaoh district aud It appeared that Riots was by no means the only man namod for bis district, tro Second. Sheriff Daggett explained that hs was under the impression that Baeve was, or ha would uot have mada the motion. Tho nominees were tben separated as follows First District Cavanagh, Fell, Van Bruut, Oorwtn and Cinorse A. Bell.

Second Distriot Reeve and Steers. OHAUNCBT M. FELT AND JOE BEEVE NOMINATED. Tho rote on the First District waa fnllnn. owruugnai, auu ubhi oanaioate.

And so I ask in behalf of everr other canrllrlntA. vhntha, i ha nnn knowledge, to tho personal, impartial, unpledged knowledge of the gontlomen win lit upon tho floor of this convention as delegates, whether I do not sp'sk the simple truth when I say that there Ib no man who, by reason of personal, individual popularity, by reason of personal, individual acquaintanceship and the power of creating friendship with those who meet him, will bring to our ticket tho strength tbat Colonel Stegman will. Hisses. On his bohalf 1 again appeal to you that by these elements we shonld determine a ohoice. He hss personal worthiness that is beyond dispute.

He has persontl fitness for tbe office that is the recognized capacity of the Democrats for blundering than upon any speoial charm in the ticket for citizens, who are less interested in officeholders than in good administration. It is noticeable that since the time Mr. Schroeder onterod the Mayor's office, and thereby became a sort of Republican boss, there has been a steady decline in Republican counsels of the influence of the men who prefer defeat with proper candidates to victory with discreditable ones, and a corresponding rise in the influence of men whose chief desire is to seize office, irrespective of the moans which must be used to accomplish their object. It has, therefore, come to pass that, in the proper sense of the term, there is no organization in Brooklyn that properly represents the great body of honest, intelligent, publio spirited Republican voters. There is an organization of political traders, part of whose stock in trad) is the Republican name, and who are prepared at all times to enter into any combination that will yield patronage, irrespective of the detriment it may do to the city.

Thus we find the more active Republican leaders hobnobbing with the men who, a year ago, corruptod the Board of Aldermen and ostentatiously purchased three of great departments of the city government. Indeed, several of these leaders contributed to the corruption fund, and are to day in the enjoyment of the profits of the investment. This year it is plain that there is to be the least possible reliance placed upon the operation of honest, enlightened sentiment, and the most possible on the men who pull strings, put up jobs and make a business of political manipulation. As an offset, however, to this general indictment, there are some words of justice to be said about some of the gentlemen named on the ticket before us. Hon.

Jacob Worth is a politician, but he is one whose good personal qualities are neither few nor unemphatic. Any criticism made upon him will simply show that he has done more for his party than for the city and cares more for his personal friends than for either. He ought to be very warmly support ed by the active elements in his party, com i ior tno onicss aouve named as may ba anceptablo to tho citizens aud taxpayers at large. Tho committee from this mooting la oomposed of Edward Howe, Itiploy itopos and Thomas Sullivan." Laughter. Mr.

Chairman, in presenting this paper a word ot explanation Is needed. Yesterday morning I received an Invitation to bs present at a meeting to be held in the Academy ot iluslo in tho evening, for tho purpose of considering suitable nominations for tbe position of Charities Commissioners, tha notice stating that that meeting was to be of gentlemen connected with both parties. Considering that that was in the line of my duty aa a delegate to this convention, I waa prossnt at tbat maetlnsr. After tha meeting was organized, but not before, I learned laat it was the purpose of tbat meeting to address an official communication to tbis oonrontlon, and I therefore stated promptly and olonrly that as a member of this convention, I could only be present as a listener.and I therefore tookjuo part in tbe action ot 1bb5 night because I am jealous of tha dignity of this body, aud I yield to nono in the appreciation of my duties as a member. But I do believe that It Is the part of politioal ssgaolty, no leas tuan of publio spirit, for tula oouvontloii to defer action lu the matter of nominating candidates for tho Comtntaslouershtf of Charities that are becom Postmaster General Key and party were given a public rioeption at Denver, Colorado, last evening.

I ask nothing from them but a decision upon the question that is presented hero.

The Republican party, conceiving that it has something to gain by excluding almost a moiety of the population ot this county from representation, wholly ignores the census taken in 1875, and absolutely defies the mandate of the Constitution, which is to the effect that the Legislature at its first session after the return of every enumeration shall proceed to reapportion the State. For three years in succession tho Republican party, being in control of tho Legislature, have set at defiance both the fundamental law of the State and the fundamental right of a majority of the people of the State, who are represented by a minority party in tho Legislature.

My convictions are stronger now than befoio that he is tbe man who can lead tho Republican column to vlotory bayond any question, this Fall. Applause.

I speak of a man I Know oan win. I Becond tho nomination of a man that can, I say, lead tho column of tbo Republican party to success thia Fall. I know whereof I speak. I had the pleasure of going tions, excepting tha Ninth, which mot on Tuesday, money, and we urged him to return it with interest and with some proof of Christian contrition. Had he taken our advice, people would have said Honest John French is worthy of tho adjective prefixed to his name by the Eagle, and though he may have been misled by wicked partners, like Fisher and Griswold, he deserves to be trusted.

The FlJlinrty dolojatca to the third Assembly Dis unjust State taxation in the case of Kings County has followed unjust and inadequate representation. Kings County pays an amount per annum greatly in excess of its fair quota of the cost of supporting the State Government, and the wrong is made more galling by the fact that it is complainel of by both parties, and proved, to a demonstration, before the passing, that Mr. Fisher, who has also declined the Eagle's good advice, was not nominated for Auditor yesterday. Now the question arises, What ought Honest John to do in view of the action of the convention Again we answer, Return the money. It is never too late to repair a wrong, and this is as true of politics as it is of religious offenses.

That tciuipumrj ujucers oe cue permanent omcers of the convention. Mr. Cowan, of the Eleventh Ward, moved tbat E. B. Fowler be made Chairman of th9 convention.

The amendment waa lest and tha original motion was adopted. At this point Mr. Oliver, who bad presented the paper from tho Third Ward, aroaa and attempted to speak, but the Chairman shut him off. The Chairman wanted to make his little speech, thanking tho convention for making him presiding officer, and he began "Gentlemen of tha convention" Mr. Oliver (interrupting) May I claim a little personal indulgence? Tbe Chair The gentleman is not yet in order, oven if a delegate.

The Chair will give you an opportunity prestntlj. Mr. Oliver I am not a delegate, according to your ruling. I represent the Republican Association cries of "order!" and confusion of the Tbird Ward. The Chair The gentleman la not a delegate, and can only be hoard by permission of the oonventlon.

Mr. Oliver I ask that permission. The Chair The motion must be made'by some mem ber of tbe convention. Ir It is so made, the gentleman can be beard. No suoh motion was made, and Mr.

He ia a member of the National Guard of the State of New York, aod a soldier, which has been claimed 1b a point of availability in the other gontlemeu presented. He is very popular both with the officors and inon in that service, and wo believe that If our choice Bhould be ratified by this convention he would be rooe'ivod that his column would be reooived with great popularity in that department. We need a man who is full of energy, of untiring Ziul in canvass. We bave bad experience heretofore as to what may bo done by such a man, and such a man wo present to you to day, and we submit to you, as we believe, that If you shall ratify our choice, the young men of this county will rally around him in this canvass with more enthusiasm and zal than any other candidate who has been here pre sentei, Mr, Chairman, I bave the honor to present the name of Isaao F.

Applaus CAPTAIN W. li. STEEBS PRESENTED. Mr. Henry E.

Whoeler, (Seventh Ward) I shall not oocupy the time of this convention very but as Instructed by the Seventh Ward we want topreBent the namo of Captain W. L. B. Steers for Sheriff. Applause.

On that nomination I want to utter a few words. Something bas been said here about soldiers. Tbere can be no question but that Brooklyn will hold in lasting remembrance all those brave men who left this city to interpose their lives between us and peril iu the dark days of the war, and as there can be no grade to fidelity, as it is the same pure gem wherever found, lbs euloglum, however eloquent that can be pronounced upon one, covers all, and for tbis reason I feel that every word tbat has been said regarding our soldiers can be app'led with equal Justice to Captain Steers, forhojdld all that any aoldier could do; he served his oountry with fidelity to her and with honor to himself. More than tbis: aside Irom his war record. Captain Steers is an exDenenoid business 1 say tout it is practically conceded br the Democrats of this county that if Lewie H.

Stegman be nominated, It is equivalent to an election. Applause.) I ask the friends of any other candidate, if thoy havo such a candidate to present to this convention 1 usk tho friends of Mr. Worth, for whom I havo tho kindest feeling, and against whom I bave not ono single word to any, if the; can give auoh an assurance It ia an open secret that the Democrats do uot waut Colonel Stegman nominated, for thoy know ho ia nominated that ha can bo and will bo elected beyond any queatlon. Applause. I nek tho friends my friend Mr.

Worth, upon what thoy base tueir calculalijus, if thoy Bay hia nomination is equivalent to an election. 1 don't say ho can't b.i elected but I say Colonel nomination is cquivaleut to au election. Will Mr. Worth carry his own ward Mr. Wren 2,500 majority.

Cries of "Nj! hisses and excitamont. The yelliug of all the man In the County of Kings can't prevent ma from reasserting that fact, and the geese that hisaad here a moment ago can't hiss me off this floor. Auplause.)

Goneral Catlin If anybody sent $200 to the Nineteenth Ward, I have only to say I know nothing about it, and I defy him to name a poraon who got a dollar from the Niuelcenth Ward. Applauae. Talk is cheap, $719.25 can never do Honest John any good. If he is a true Christian he must believe that "there is no profit in the proceeds of unrighteousness." Brooklyn paid Frederick A. Schroodor $10,000 per annum to discharge the duties of the Mayor's office, and it paid Honest John French $2,500 to discharge tho duties of the President of the Common Council, which duties involved at 1UI Uit The Chairman then made another attamnf tn no nrr year, It is believed by the company that thousauds of dollars now paid for freights will be saved by this change.

The yellow fever is not abating, and, as yet, no signs of frost have appeared. The grand total of contributions raised by the Chamber of Commerce Belief Committee amounted yesterday to $163,302,36. The Committee on Clothing value the clothing donated by tho people of Now York to be worth $150,000. om tho Pacific Coast bas been sent $15,953, and the French subscriptions sent from Paris foot up 000 to date. The reported uprising of colored people in TenaaB Parish, has been greatly exaggerated.

A large number of negroes attended a mass meeting at Waterproof, and some of them ware insulting and threatening in their language. The people of tbe. place became alarmed and sent to Nachez for troops, who were forwarded. No one was killed, and the only deBtrnotlon of property was the burning of a gin and, with it some sixty or seventy bales of ootton, Lord Newry, the son and heir of the Earl of Ellmeray, the proprietor of the Globe Theatre ln Lon nionly called the workers, for he is himself a worker of an excellent type generous, alert, and always true to his pledges. It would be the merest folly to say that if elected Mr.

Worth will not discharge the Sheriff's duties properly. The Eaolb has said repeatedly that as between men of personal integrity it makes very little, if any, difference to the taxpayers who gets the Sheriff's office. The Eagle has not the least doubt that Mr. Worth is a man of this kind. He mokes no hypocritical pretensions to being a reformer.

He is nothing of the sort. There is a phrase in ordinary use that describes him perfectly. He is "a right good fellow," who wags with the humor of his time, and never takes anything that he does not balieva belongs to him. In the Sheriff's office, if elected, he will take all the foes to which he is entitled, and he will not take any more. The Eaole confesses to a certain kindness for Mr.

Worth because of his frank ways. His progress in politics has been impeded by the Pecksniffs of hid party, who under all sorts of plausible pretexts have done things which we are sure Jacob Worth would have scorned to countenance or in any way abet. If we must have professional politicians in our county offices, we cannot see what objection there is to Mr. Worth. It still remains true, however, that Mr.

Worth's claims are mainly upon aotive party men, and only in a remote degree upon citizens who regard party as a means and not a proper end. Mr. Felt and Mr. Reeve, the candidates named for the Charities Commission are also active politicians, and are very pleasant gentlemon to meet. Just now, we cannot tell how many offices Mr.

Felt has occupied or bia little speeobi OH A IBM AN WIMJAMS' SPEECH.

I know that yon do not expeot irom me auy speech upon tbis ocoasion, bscauso you will havo oil tho speeches you waut berore sundown to nignt, upon the presentation of candidates; but I trust you will permit me to say that it is a year of auc oess for the Bepub.ioan party; applause that, to use a common expression, success is in the air, and that la an expression which politicians who do tho work around campaigns oatcb up when they feel tbat, at the expiration of tbeir labors, thoy ore to be rewarded with sucoeas.

J. Montague, $3,000 of it being tho llfo insuranoe policy which Mr. Montague had taken out for the benefit of to justify revolution by the founders of tho American Republic. Commenting on this state of affairs in a recent issue the Eagle said New York suffers in like proportion. t( both counties hart tboir juat representation our representatives coulJ protect us Irom unfair taxation for State purposes, because our representatives would liu numerous enough, to do so, aud the representatives of both pirtiea eoul 1 cura tie ap proral of their constituents by joiniug iu tuo effort.

Now, it seems to us that the Eagle's statement is perfectly plain that if tho two cities were fairly represented in the Legislature they could protect their own interests. To the end that they may be, the Eagle advises the taxpayers this year to vote for Democratic candidates for the Assembly, because it has been made plain for three years in succession that the Republican party will not reapportion the State under the census of 1875, if they can help it. After we secure just representation, the voter will be free to consider party politics in a member of tho Legislature, but we submit that the Kings County taxpaying voter is not iu this position now. Our esteemed contemporary, the Union, af focts not to see how fair representation in the Legislature will help us, aud puts to the Eaglb these questions Will the editor of tho Eagle tell us what possible dlfl reuce it would have made iu tbe Slate Equubzilion ol this year if Kings County had two moro Senators and five more Ajeemblynion If valuations ware Had by tho Legislature, eveu, is the EaaLEqutte sure, or does it beltevs, that tho State tuxes wouid be any leas in tois county or in the City of New York tlons are fixed by a Slate Board of Equalization, oom poaeil at tho present time of six Democrat and lour Republicans. Could the EiGLE control tho Democratic votes in the Stato Board, or by any exhibit of fair destine in the presentation of stubborn facts, obtain votes of its parly frienda ior an equal distribution of taxes among the coun ties? Not in tho least.

Is it not a fact tbat all the concesvionj tbat have been coined for Kings aud Now York have been gained through the persist ent efforta of Siato Aaaeaaur Brigga? List yoar liis table of equalization waB curled by Mis rote, and this year his table would hare been adopted if cither tho Democratic Attorney Goneral, or Treasurer of State, or and making fortunes. The method of getting at the result would be, perhaps, beyond their reasoning powers to catch. Just as Coleridge observed to a very wise woman, tbat he accepted ber conclusions but he preferred to find his own looio for the tendance to the Mayor's work in that official's absence. When Mayor Schroeder was absent he drew full pay, and Honest John French also drew full pay for acting as Mayor, and thus Brooklyn wa3 forced to pay at the rate of $20,000 per annum for work whioh the charter distinctly stipulated should cost only $10,000. In the face of suoh facts how can Honest John hesitate, and that especially since in Ray's case the Supreme Court has distinctly declared that the President of the Aldermen is entitled to no extra compensation when acting in behalf of the absent Mayor, who of course draws his full salary.

It is suggested that porhaps Honest John is waiting for the Court of Appeals to pass upon the ease, when, should it be decided that he has a technical right to the money, he may make a point of returning it freely, saying I act under moral conviction and not under force." This would be shrewd, but not good. Right is to bo done for its own sake. But suppose the Court of Appeals affirms the decision of the Supreme Court, where will Honest John Btand Why, he will go upon the record as an officer who had to be compelled by a legal mandate to return to the City Treasury money that he had wrongfully drawn from it. With such a record made Honest John's political hopes would of necessity be blighted forever. By way of pointing this exhortation we refer Honest John to the fate of Frederick A.

Schroeder. He can never be re elected to tear Tho entrance of tbe com mil too wilh Mr. Worth at thia point, interrupted Mr. Low from continuing hla remarks. Tho appearance of Mr.

Worth was greeted with enthusiastic cheering, many of tho dologatua rising and Bhouting lustily.

ltn. LOW RESUMES. his mother. Mr. Montague was at one time the manager of the Globs iu London, but he failed and was in Lord Nawry'a debt when he oame to this oountry.

Very little, if any, of his estate will reach his mother. Ex President Grant and party arrived at Vit ioria, Spain, yesterday, aui the ox President was welcomed by a general on the staff of Sing Alfonso, who welcomed him in tbe King's namo to the Iberian peninsula. The special railway carriage ot the King was placed at the disposal of the party. At San Sebastian, Einilio Castelar, ex. President of the Spanish Benub lic, welcomed General Grant.

The civil and military authorities recoived tbe party at Vittorla, where the Etng and his 'staff are stayiog to witness the annual manouvors of the Spanish army. Tha King received Ganeral Grant at his palaoe and paid him every possible honor, and took him to witness the maneuvers. General Grant spent aU day on horseback and was greatly pleased with tho sights. To day he waa to review the troops, and at night leave the city for Madrid. Last night Mr.

and Mrs. Grant dined with the King. The annual report of Quartermaster General Meigs contains many important recommendations ident of tbe Quarantine Commission, and tho warm, cordial support that be received from the exchanges snd shipping associations ot New York abundantly testily to the wisdom and tbe prudence with which he administered bia office and give satisfaction to the merchants of the Metropolis. And, in fact, wherever wo have found Caplsin Steers, in any field of activity to which be has been called, whether publio or private, he bas exhibited the characteristics of a straightforward and manly man. So, then, Mr.

Chairman, as a native of Brooklyn, as a soldier, as an experienced buriness man, as a man who has served faithfully whatever publio or private trust tbat has been confided to him, and whose Republicanism la unquestioned, we present his namo. Applause. SECONDING WORTH'S NOMINATION. Mr. Cadmus On behalf of the Eighth Ward delegation, it affords me much pleasure to second tho nomination of the Honorable Jacob Worth.

Applause. I desire to say, sir, that It is my firm opinion, should Mr. Worth raoeiva the nomination, it would create an enthusiasm among the people ot South Brooklyn that bas never been ielt, and further than that, ou the day of election, the people of that section of the oity will be found voting en moots for him. Mr. Dady On bohalf of the delegation irom tho Fourth Ward, I second the nomination of the Hon.

Worth receiving leas than 100 majority. The next year ho was defeated by Mr. Dlllmeier, of tho Nineteenth Ward, who had never been heard of in politics berore, and laat year he was eleolod by a very greatly reduced majority. Mr. Wren Five hundred.

General Catlin I know tho exaot number, if you want to know. It wasn't BOO. I ask my friend. In all seriousness, can Mr. Worth carry tho old Third Ward, ot the City of Brooklyn Voices of "yes" and "No," and excitement.

General Catlin Can he carry the Twentieth Ward Cries of "Yes I hope so and trust so. I beliovo so derisive laughter and a voice "All right but I bear many people Bay ho can't do it. A voice, "He oan I He can I will take your authority for it. Poor authority is better than none. Laughter.

Can he carry tbe Twenty third Ward, that comes here with a united delegation in hia behalf Cries of "Yea" and "No." I boliove so, I think so but I have hoard man tnat aro better capable of Judging than I am, from tbat ward, say be can't. A voice, "He can't do it." I Bay I believe he can carry tho Nineteenth Ward. I truBt he can, I hope he oan but I have been told and my friends of the Sixteenth Ward have agreed that thoro ia a bitter fooling of many years' standing which goes to show to men not myself, but to othera in the Nineteenth Ward, tbat ho can't get a very great majority ln that ward. A voice "Don't you bellevo it Twenty five hundred. Twenty five hundred In tho Sixteenth Ward 1 A voice, "Sure Sure I You didn't get it Zsiacr didn't get It and he ia fighting fur hia election now.

Now, gentlemen of tbe convent! Cries of question question 1" arose from lmpa tlont delegates in a parts of tho hall who wanted a vote. Tho Chairman wrapped for order. General Catlin I know you are getting tired of me, and I will get through. (Cries of Go on and you are getting personal My friend on my right saya I am getting personal. I have MISCELLANEOUS.

It is announced that a large number of trade dollars are in alrculatlon. James A. Sproul, Justice of the Pence of Passaic, yoatardaj obtained a verdict in lha laot just so mis mus'o which is round in the air, and whloh indicates our sucoess, is tbe way in which working politicians arrive at the result tbat tbe men who ate to be nominated here to day will be elected to the offices for wbiob they are placed in nomination applause, I need not say this is an important oonventlon that is said of all conventions. This oonventlon, perhaps, is not as imoortant in somo respects as that whioh will "meet to night and pass upon the question ot a Controller and an Auditor there is one matter, however, whloh is of supreme importance in this convention, and that relates to the nominations for Commissioners of Charities and Correction ln this county, to lift from tha slums where it has been placed thB system oi administering tho charities of tbis ojunty. Applause.

And if tbis convention by any prudent and wiao action can secure Republican candidates who can be elected, and clean out that awfnl spot, they will bave earned from the people of this oounty the rwara which will undoubtedly be given them. I await the further pleasure ot the ojnvantion. Mr. Cadmufl said that the motion to raak9 the temporary officers the permanent officers had not been put. Laughter.

The Chair It was put and oorried. Mr. Cadmus It wasn't. Mr. John F.

Henry (to the Choir) I guess you had better put it sgalo. To satisfy them the Chair put the motion again, and It was carried with but one dissenting voice. Mr. Henry I am requested by tbe contestants of the Third War! to ask tbat they be heard. I.

move that they now be heard. Some one warned to know the limit of time and Mr. Henry snggastod fifteen minutes. Mr. Hubbard Hendrickson moved as an amendment that the case be referred to a committee of three to be appointed by tbe Chair.

There were cries of disapproval, and during the noiss a delegate moved to lay the whole mattor on the table. The motion was oarrled amid laughter and applause. Tho Chair What la the further pleasure of the Convention? The convention la ln order and ready for bunlness. Mr. M.

Worth. Applause. 1 I an interrupted I waa about to say tn favur of deferring action and appointing this conference 1 committee, only a word more. I 1 out to I you tho advantage lo bo gatjod, as it seemed to me, ln the ruitter of time. I now b'g you to recullcct tha temper of this comiiiuuity iu recardto Ibis matter of the chantlea.

I fuppose there no subject tbat could be brought before the pooplo of Brooklyn and the citizens of Kiuga Ciunty, that would so I every man from hla party ties and make him approach I tha question as a citizen aud a parson sympatnlziug with the uufortunate of his race as this question of the administration of our county charities. The voty fact that a meeting could be called to' tbir at one day's notice of thirty or forty geutlemen representing both political parties Bhowa tho loosunosa of tho tics in that partioular. Also the faot tbat tbe I dally press of thla cliy are unanimous lu their ad rooaoy of tho plan of taking this charitable work altogether out of the field of politics, and tbe faot proach this question, Mr. Chairmau, iu no partisan spirit, belioviug, if I know my own heart, that the success of the Bepubiioan party at tbis time depends upon tbe nomination of that distinguished gentleman. Applause, It is unnecessary for me to detain this convention here for the purpose of recounting the sprviceB of that distinguished gontleman, or to state the thousand and one reasons why it is so important at this time that the gentleman should be placed in nomination.

The history of tbat gentleman is known to every man, woman and ohlld in tbe County of Kings and so far aa my observation extends, I do believe to day, that on the oasiern side of Franklin avenua there is not a man tbat could claim in the County of Kings that would poll as many votes as the Honor. run for. His last appearance in the field was as a candidate for Justice against Judge Ferry. Mr. Reeves is getting well along in years, and having a good memory, can tell of his entertaining experience on every side of every political issue that has interested the American people for the past forty years.

At present, if we understand him, he is with Hayes as against Conkling. At a not very remote period he favored the Senator, and at a still earlier day 'after joining in the Greeley movement he wavered in a somewhat amusing manner between Democracy and Grantism. Taken together we should experience difficulty in mentioning two Republican politicians in Brooklyn with whom a more agreeable afternoon could be spent at Brighton beach. It happens, how over, that if the Charities Department is to be improved we must elect men who are not mere partisans. If the Republican Committee had set before itself the task of naming two good uatured gentlemen whose affiliations would be a pledge that the department should not be taken out of politics, they could not have hit upon fitter persons than Messrs.

Felt and Reeve. Indeed, that this is what the convention intended to do may be inferred from their treatment of the gentlemen who, on Wednesday night, met in the Directors' Room of the Academy of Music and appointed a committee to confer with the conventions of both parties for the purpose of getting unpartisan nominations made. The convention did not even pay the conference committee the compliment of referiug their overture to a committee. This, however, is action that may not be without use. It proves to the Academy gentlemen what the Eagle took occasion to inform them yesterday, that there is nothing to be hoped num, contrived by legislation to make the people pay him $10,000.

That is to say, he took $7,500 per annum to which he had no moral title. Nay, worse than all, Schroeder said when the bill authorizing this increase was before the Legislature, that his desire was to provide properly for his successor in office and that he would not draw the increased pay. That pledge he broke. He did draw the increased pay and the record made by his own hand shows it. It is true that Mr.

Schroeder was elected to the Mayoralty by a small majority after leaving the Controller's office, but when he was so elected very few people realized how his salary had been swelled. Of course, honest John may say that what he improperly took is a small amount compared with the pile bagged by Mr. Schroeder but let' him remember that tho principle is the same, and that the whole difference lies in the opportunities presented. Jacob C. Worth thonnd.

JAppUute. Wny, sir, do yoli know that in the i.wenfy 2." Ward. tbat at the last seaalon of tbe Legislature when such a bill had been presented 1 bellevo I am right 1 saying that every delegate from thl. AaaemWyrnan from 00naiyi fl o( taotn, iT'puwliqitfi ill. Democrats alik, wero iu favor of the bill that was originally presented without any amendment whatever, an4 those, ten tlomen acting in their representative capacity reflected, and I believe accurately, the temper of the community on thla question of the county charities.

Therefore, I believe that It will bo wise, and Wo feel justified in saying that the person who is responsible for this nonsense is not anxious to show the taxpayer of Kings County how to escapo unjust State burdens, and that he is anxious to contuse the mind of the voter for a paviisan purpose. If this State were fairly apportioned, the party which elected the Governor the party which cast a majority of the votes at an election would at some time carry the Legislature. Two years ago the Democrats carried this State by a majority of a great many thousand votes, but at the same time the Republicans elected a majority of the State Senate. We have now three State Assessors. They are all Republicans, and two of them appear to be very active Republican partisans.

These Assessors were appointed six years ago by Governor Dix. Their terms have expired, of course, but neither Governor Tilden nor Governor Robinson could remove them, because the Republican Senate will not consent to ratify the Governor's appointments so long as the Governor is a Democrat. Is it fair that we should have a State Board of Assessors exclusively of one party, and that the minority party in the State Suppose we politic action as well, as I said, In the intorost of the publio spirit, forthia oommltteo to be appolnt i ed. In order to bring this mattor directly bafora settle tbe accounts for the past year's servioe. The removal of divisions and hoalquarters to military posts, as required by tbe reoent aot of Congress, has caused considerable expenditures to provide' suitable accommodations, and continues to make nnumal demanas on the appropriations for barracks and officers' quarters.

arise with some diffidence but also with some confidence to nominate a gentleman for the Shrievalty of kings County. Diffldenoe. beoause of my poor ability to properly present his name. Confidence, that if nominated by this convention, ha will surely be elected. (Applause.) His name is familiar in your mouths as household words.

For nine sessions of the Legislature he has stood at Albany, sometimes single handed and alone, the only exponent ot the taxpayers ot tha Republloan party of this oounty. Rising to prominence, nay, I may say eminenoe, ln the politics of this State, he stands to day the peer of any man in this broad 8tate tor honesty, integrity and capability. (Applause). A soldier ln the war of the rebellion ln the Union service, he did his duty and did It manfully. No soldier oan do more.

Mr. Chairman and gentlemen of this oonventlon, I nominate for Sheriff of Kings County, the Honorable' Jacob Worth. (Loud and long continued applause). Mr. Boharman (Twenty first Ward) Will the Ohalr allow stamping for one, whether the building is la danger or not Toe Chair (smiling) Yes, sir.

If they then, I ask you, eentlomen. or th oonventlon, representing tho Bepubllcan party in this oounty, are you going to take tne responsibility of nominating him? "Yes I yes!" Woen you havo a man that you know, if you know anything, can be elected Juat aa certainly aa election day comes Just as certainly. But my friend, Judge Cook, here suggested and this is my last point, and I hsve done, and I thank tho Convention now, ia advance, for their attention. Mr. Cook says that Mr.

Ex Jdge Cook (Ninth Ward) I feel tho Inspiration that was oxDreased by the Cbair ln hlB opening address, that tbe mualo in the air' promises victjry to the Bepubhcan party this Fall. 1 feel that the harvest Is now ripe, and all that is required Is for the reapers to step in and secure tbat harvest in the oause of Justice, and trutb and honesty and Republicanism. I feel, sir, tbat on this occasion at the approaching election there every promise that we will olean ont tbe foul spots in the administration of Kings County, and hand over the administration bodily to the Republican party, and this is an occasion, sir, when we ought to be careful. We ought to make no mistakes here. This is tbe leading oonventlon, and we propose to start off nomlnatlgg, at the bead of the 1 man who "wlH Tfi'joiie the confidence and strength oi the Bepublioans" everywhere, Cries of "Hear I hear and applause.

THE EAGLE INDORSED. Mr. W.

E. 8. Falea (Third Ward) In seconding that resolution I would call the attention of tbo convention Boston. Reinhardt, charged with the murder of Mary A false impiession may have been conveyed to the intelligent reader by a line in the Eagle last evening, and no time should be lost in correcting it. Speaking of the defalcation of Mr.

Hoxie the reporter, properly reflecting publip sentiment around the building formerly occupied by the ruined man, says: "Mr. "Hoxie's ruin was undoubtedly caused by un fortunate speculations in Wall street." This is a popular fallacy. Mr. Hoxie's ruin was most unquestionably caused by nothing of the kind. Mr.

Hoxie's ruin was undoubtedly caused by ftil inability to distinguish between meum and tuum. The poor man's moral vision was so imperfect that he could not tell his own money from anybody else's. He gambled with both and lost. The mere losing of money did not ruin him. The fact that he Ann Degnan, was before Justioe Pratt, ln the Oyer and Terminer Court, at the BicSmond County Court House, yesterday, and pleaded not guilty.

One of his to a very excellent editorial published, I balieve, aome two or three woeka Binoi ln tha EaoLt (Cries of "Oh Ohl" However much that paper mav be opposed I to us in politics, in regard to this Charities Commission, which Is the greatest blot upon the escutoheon uf Kings County, it has always been at ous with us. Year in and year out, so far as my memory I goes, it has always advocated our candidates, and more especially wheu we havo put forward our best Iu tbe elltorlal I refer to there waa a suggestion similar to this, namely, tbat if the Bepubllcan County 1 Convention Would make thia overture, and any ur all other parties should refuse to meot them half way, tbat we would mako for ourselves a record tbat would make invincible this Fall and it is for the sake of carrying our ticket tbrouga County, City, Assembly aud Congressional as well as for the sake or takiog this Chaiitiea Commission out ot this great slough of politics, that I second tho resolution. I WANTS STBIOT PABTT CANDIDATES. Mr. neury I shall differ with the gentleman that bas male thla proposition, snd ask this convention to proceed to nominate oandllates for Cotntni Sioners of Chantlea now.

I ahall oak, Mr. Chairman, tbat this convention place in nomination men of that high character that every meat Democrat in ths County of Kings can support. I therefore hope that we at lawyers demanded a speedy trial, and the Judge named the two ways by which it could bo brought about. Oue was to petition Govornor Bobinson to allow a speoial anu irom tne expressions that bave been made here, that the mm who above all others Is to lead us forward thl8Fallls Jacob Worth, of the Sixteenth Ward. Applause.

I congratulate the convention and tho county and tbe party that we hare bod no unworthy name snggeited here to day tbat if we nominate any one of the men who have been suggested, that the people will be well served that tbere la not a breath to be uttered against either of them, that all stand here equally worthy; but my preference, which I bare already expressed, is based upon the evident relative strength of the nian I proposed. I bave not a word to say against Colonel Stegman. He has bten patriotic So has Jacob Worlh been patriotic everywhere. Applause. My friend Stegman, I love him for many reasons.

He baa not gone nnrewardod for bis patriotism and devotion to the cause when our country was ln peril, when be havefu opportunity to ao a greater thing than he has ever done IvfOfe, and bo ought not to lose it. (Ra newed laughter ina derisira shouts from different parts of tbe ball. Colonel Stegman can take care of the Sheriff's office excellently wall. Applause Ho has bad three years' of useful oxoerleuce at It, and I think it Is ln tbe best interests of tbe people anl of the party that he remain in that office and Mr. Worth remain in tne Lesislature.

I iiolieve if the delegates upon tbe floor of this convention vote in accordance with their roai preference, their real predl lectlous, thsl Colonel Stegman will be nominated lor Sheriff of Kings Ciuuty, and will remain in tbe Sheriff's office ior tbe next three years. Applause Several delegates aroso and clalraod the floor. Mr. Wren I rise to a question of privilege. A voice Oh, make it short.

i The Chair One moment tbe Chair recognizee the i for in the way of public spirited action from the present leaders of the Republican party. There was a time when a petition, presented by men like Ripley Ropes, A. B. Baylis, Richard Marvin, Seth Low and Wm. A.

Leonard, would have received serious attention. Whatever hope of improvement these gentlemen now entertain must be based upon the possible action of the Democrats, and if there be wisdom in the Democratic councils that hope will be realized. The gentleman named for Controller, Mr. Steiuuielz, is a stranger to the Eagle and the Eagle's readers. We take it that his nomination is but an indirect way of saying that the Republicans do not intend to offer serious opposition to the election of Mr.

Bur rell, whose official record is as good as his personal reputation is spotless. Mr. Stein term to be held, and tho other was to adjourn the present term nnti) some time in December. Tbe Slstriot had a Senate in political sympathy with the present Governor as we should have under the ordinary operations of our political system would the Democrats have no representative in tho Board of Assessors? Would these two great Democratic cities have had to appeal to three Republicans for justice in the matter of State taxation Nobody thinks of having valuations fixed by tho Legisl. tiro, but would it not be possible for a representative Legislature to make provisions for the fair equalization of valuations throughout the State The two cities do not secure fair play under the preseut system they are inadequately represented the Legislature they have not their just influence in any attempt that may be made to change it.

The Eagle could not control tho Democratic votes iu the State Board. Three out of six of thorn voted for fair deal Attorney would not agree to the trial ln December, for reasons which he did not care to disclose, and the case was Utt lo come oo at tbe May term. Bernhardt OOLONBL iSwfS B. STEOMAN PBttSZliTED. Supervisor Albert G.

McDonald (Nineteenth Ward) FoUowlng my lrlend from the Sixteenth, who bas Just spoken, it becomes also my duty and not lets my duty than my pleasure, and not less my pleasure than my duty, to name also for tho approval of this convention another gentleman well known, I think, to all of you, and the friend of most of you. It has always been the custom, and I think of necessity so, that the gentleman to whose iot it falls in a oonventlon of this sort to present the name of a candidate for any oflloo, and the gentleman to whoss lot it falls to second that nomination, to present the candidate in the most favorable possible colors, and with a friendly band bide from sight everything tbat is amiss, and with favoring touch set forth in the most brilliant oolora possible all that can commend him to your attention. And too, in contests beforo tbe people, when rival political parties strive together hotly for success and for the sweet voles of the people. There, too, in such a contest are presented only ln the most favorable light the fa voraDle qualities, tbe fitness and the virtues of the rival candidates. And so it happens that we come rather to deduct a little from the representation of the friend who names the candidate when we desire to arrlvo at the truth of the matter, and take the statements always with considerable of a grain of salt qualifying them.

But it has become, as I satd, equally my. pleasure with my duty, to present to tbia convention, this afternoon, the name of a gentleman, tbe best testimony to whose ability and to whose fitness snd the strongest commendation that I can make to you on his behalf, comes from the nncolored and unvarnished testimony of tbe oast faots of bis own life, and the more nncolored was refused bail and returned to Jail. While Bein. bardt wag in tbe Court room, Keeper Young entered his cell and on inspection found that Bernhardt had removed the spike shaped piece of irdn that I once proceed to nominate candidates for Charities Commissioners. Applause.

held tbe foot of Ihe bunk to the wall and tbat tbe nails whioh had held II bad SliSlrilCNS tiOTICEs. gambled with money that did not belong to him did ruin him. To take what does not belong to one is theft, and every trustee who may at this moment be making use of the trust fuuda in his hands for his own purposes is a thief. He may return them and prevent exposure, he may be unable to do so and may be sent to State Prison. In either case he is dishonest and on the road to ruin.

ing. Three of them voted the other way, and these three, being joined they are presented to tbis convention and tbe more simply and tbe mora truthfully and unpartlally, the Btronger and tbe more persuaalvely do they appeal to tou. lArjDlausa and biases. 1 I think this, Mr. Chair uuerea uiubcii uiujui.

ub uua ueeu remembered. And there Is another reason why I like bim, and tbat I bave learned here to day for the first time; ha is a lawyer. Laughter. Now, my preference is for lawyers altogether. I don't know bat I wish that all tho lawyers in tne connty oould be aboxiffs, Oeputles or under sheriffs.

But still I didn't know until now that tbat was deemed generally by (he public at large as a sufficient reason for setting aside other candidates and making such nominations for tne office of Sheriff. Jacob Worth has served the pnblio to be sure He bas served the publio, as bas been stated, faithfully ln the Stale Legislature. He bas acquired a name and a reputation there for integrity and for reliability tbat men have reason to be proud of. He bos never faltered. His record there la as pure and unspotted as may be, and be has been recognized as deserving at the hands of his countrymen; but he has been tbere serving tho city, taking care of Its Interests, protecting the interests of tbe Republican party here, and of the taxpayers here, sometimes, as my friend from the Sixteenth haB said, standing entirely alone, always being perfectly reliable.

And he has dona It all, too, at a cost and a sacrlnoe to himself. Now. here Is an opportunity to elect him to tbe office of Sheriff; and if Jacob Worth baa not made sacrifices enough to ontitle bim to this distinction, why then there is nothing in merit, nothing in dessert in a question of this kind. sir, trust that this nomination may be made, and tben I think I can Bee and understand that our march will bo onward to victory. Applause.

I don't believe there la any Bane man, any reasonable and candid Republican in the county, observing the signs of the times, who can donbt our success under tbis leadership, and I therefore very heartily and earnestly respond to the. nomination of Mr. Worth. Applause. Mr.

Colt moved to proceed to an informal ballot. oarofully drawn out. Taking hold of it, the kevper found that he could pull it entirely away from tho wall. The work must have been done by Reinhardt In the dark on Wodneaday night. The call adjoining Relnhardt's is empty, and he had evidently planned to out through the wall and get out through this unused cell, the door of whloh was open.

The supposition is that he would have usel the heavy rron bar taken from the foot of the bunk and used it to pry open the grating in the window of the corridor. Another theory is that he intended to uso tho iron bar, whioh weighs four or flya pounds, to knock down the keeper when he opened the door in the morning. It was also discovered that Mrs. (Pauline Dltmar) had held a long conversation with Reinhardt by climbing up to the oorridor window. She stood on the head of barrel, and by this maans had been aole to be quite near Reinhardt, who bad tbe privilege of waiting ln tho corridor, and was able to talk to her in a whisper.

It was doolded, yesterday, what step to take ln Mrs. Rolnbardt'a case, but Rjln man, that courtesy most bs extended in this oonventlon, to day, to any contrary opinion, either upon any BUbiact. or unon anv man. and I will not tolerate, aa a gentleman irom tne ritteontu, Mr. Maojer.

Mr. Manjer Tho delegation from tho Fifteenth Ward take very great pleasure in indorsing tho nomination of the Hon. Jacob Worth. It has been my pleasure for number of years to have known tbe gentleman as a neighbor and as a representative man. Hia name Is as familiar as a household word with the people of the Eastern District, and if nominated, I nave no donbt In my mind he will be elected, air, by a large majority.

General Catlin, remind me forcibly oi thla Charity to all and malice to nono but ii yon don't do as 1 want you, why my charity ccasca and my malice commences.

I believe in once lu a while acting as cltizjua and aa taxpayers in matters whero party questions havo nothing at ail to do. Applause. It Is a very common and popular battle cry with the "Doya." as it Is said, "the ticket, the whole ticket and nothing but the ticket. thereby, sometimes, Mr. Chairman, working directly into the banda of our opponents.

I believe in adopting tho very aenalble and politic reaolutlou Introduced by Mr. Liw. Let us show, as the parly of lotclligence, tho party who generally do their owo thinking, that tbe Republican party is not at stako at all, even if wo should have a conference committee with the Democratic party. I trust tbe good souse of thia oonventlon, ths guod sense ol every Bepubllcan, will see tbat wc ought to drop, tor the time bclur, all party considerations. If you want to serve the citizens at large, if yon wont to rendr; a service lo the taxpayers aa well as the Bepubllcan party, adopt the resolution; otherwise, adopt the suggestion of Mr.

Henry. NO CONFIDENCE FOR COOK. Ei Judge Cook I am one of that class of men that camo here in order lo mako nominations to day. I am opposed to an adjournment, Tho last day of reglatta tlon, I understand, is next Monday, an we know from past experience how Important ii ti to bave our candidates in tho field preeeiiag tho last day of registration. List Fall, I believe If wc had uot induced to adjourn over the nomination for Mayor to accommodate certain gentlemen in the Bepubllcan parly I bellvo if it had not been for tuat, I verily beltevo John F.

Henry would have beon Mayor to day. (Ap Mr, Schartuan (agaly) When words aro tpokeo. wo It does seem as though the Philharmonic Society was putting itself to a great deal of unnecessary trouble with regard to Mr. Theodore Thomas, and as though it had jeopardized its interests instead of bettering them by its eager pursuit of the Westwardbound leader. Mr.

Thomas has virtually gone to Cincinnati. It is hoped by the Society that he can be induced to make a journey to Brooklyn every month to conduct the third lehearsals aud concerts of the Society, some metz, we understand, is an architect, and has been employed from time to time by the Federal Government. His fitness to manage the intricate financial affairs of Brooklyn does not appear by anything said in the nominating convention. Mr. Ammerman, the gentleman named for the office of Auditor, has the reputation of being an amiable person of a somewhat negative character, who has been found serviceable in ward politics.

If campaigns were conducted in Brooklyn as they used to be, there would be a certain cruelty in setting him up, but as the Eagle has succeeded in banishing the tomahawk and scalping knife from the field, wo doubt not he will retire from the contest in as amiable a temper as the Eagle eaters into it. Again we say, looking over the ticket as a whole, that while it has elements of strength it is upon the whole weak, and cannot be member of tbis convention any interruption of that sort repeated. Applause. I came here to present tbe name I do present, simply btcause out of my own opinion of onr acquaintance with him, and out of mv own oninlon aa formed ln my own man Dy two Republican State Assessors, the five together succeeded in exempting the rural Republican counties from their fair share of State taxation at the expense of the taxpayers of these cities, of both parties. Hence it would have made an essential difference this year if wo had had a fair apportionment of the State two years ago.

The State officers, whether Democrats or Republicans, are not iu any true sense the representatives of these cities. The members of the Legislature that we especially elect are, whether they be of one party or the other. As times go, Sir. State Assessor is a very fair man. Still it was by his vote last year that a valuation of twenty millions was added to the local assessed valuation of our county.

This year he voted to rodress this monstrous hood he seemed to be the most fit to my mind, of tbe two prominent candidates talked of in tbe prass and ln the mouths of neonle. Yon all know, although I have not named bim as yet, to whom I have been referring. As I satd at the beginning, be is known to all of you, and I think he is a friend of almost all of you. and I therefore tako very great and very genuine pleasure in nominating before this convention for tbe responsible office of Bhoriff of Kings County Colonel Lewis It. Sicyman.

Prolongs'' applause. I notloe, sir, from the warmth of the reception which the name meets. subordinate leader being chosen to conduct the first two. Now what object is to be gained by this The public will speedily regard the first and second rehearsals with prejudice and will cease to attend them, reserviug their attendance for the third aud the concert. Iu hnrdt will have no more opportunities to escapo.
