Schleren a rousing reception last night at the Johnston Building; Nevtna Street, near Fiat-bun Avenue. The members turned out In such a throng-that many were not able to set in at alL It was a night of great cheering and rejoicing. When ex-State Senator Stephen M. Grts-wold. the President of the club, led in the new Mayor, the audience arose and cheered for a full minute.

Mr. Schleren bowed his thanks, and there was another minute of vociferous cheering. The crowd cheered all through Ms speech, and when he took his eat the club broke loose and cheered until it was hoarse. Ex-Senator Griswold Introduced the Mayor-elect In a brief address. He said: It appears to be eminently ntUng that the Young Hrpubllru Club of should slvs the first pablta reception to th lfaytir-alsct.

The second one of our number, who has Just been erected. wlU so conduct our municipal affairs for the next two years that no cltlsen will ever have occasion to rearst casting his vote for Charles A. Schleren. The work of our club is not yet completed.

I trust that when I am sons and these I see around me who have borne the beat of the bat-. tie for many years bare passed away, the Young Republican Club will still be found contending for good governrcent, for the election of honest men to office, for a pure ballot, and for all that vrtalna to patriotic and sood cltlsenshlp. Mr. Schleren smiled at his fellow-members In the old familiar fraternal way, and cleared his voice. Ills eyes glistened through Ma spectacles, his cheeks were suffused, and it was evident his heart was beaxlng plt-a-pat at the sight and sound of his enthusiastic comrades in the ranks of young Republicanism.

Being a candidate for Mayor is one thing." he said. and being elected Mayor Is quite another thing. I think I'll have quits a bill to pay to the bell ringer. I think I'll have another bill to pay, too, to the man whom I engaged to be the bouncer at my house." There was a great (bar of laughter at this gentle dig at the office seekers, and some of the members fwere noticed slyly nudging each other. 1 Mr.

Schleren spoke of the glorious history of the Young Republican Club, and then he took up the subject of reform in political methods. I He said: One Improvement should be made in our Republican1 organization, and that lathis: We should send delegates direct from the districts of the wards to the nominating conventional That would stop all further manipulations by would-be ward bosses. All nominations would then come right down to the people." Whatever may have been In Mr. Schleren' mind, the club took his words to refer particularly to Jacob Worth, the discredited Republican boss," and there was prolonged cheering. "V- "This club," said Mr.

Schleren. "should continue to keep aloof from office holders from men like me. (great laughter), and properly too. Our club is necessary to pro-serve the purity of our politics." Laying down his manuscript, the moved to the front of the platform, raised his arm above him. and looked down on the members.

Fellow Republicans and citizens of Brooklyn." said Mr. Schleren. with Intense emphasis, bringing down his arm as he poke, "your confidence in me shall not be misplaced. I will do my duty without fear of any man or set of men. and at the end of my term I will go back to my brother merchants In the swamp andjook them In the face and say, I have honestly-tried to do my duty," S.

Here the people determined that bosslsra should die; that villainy In government should end: that the Judicial robe Is aot for perjurers and thieves; that this Nation, under God, shall not be murdered at the ballot bos. New-York State turned 45.0U0 Democratic majority In 1K into 30.0UO Republican majority In UM, and Isaac exclaimed: I have nothing whatever to aay on any subject for publication." Brooklyn save Charles A. Schleren 12.000 plurality, and political death-bed repentant James W. Kld-way says: "My entire office Is at the disposal of assistants who shall prosecute the guilty for election-day frauds! sublime are crowded with infinite possibilities for good, but also with Infinite perils. This Is the reign of the people.

The bosses are throttled, but they still live. Thry must be actually slain and their polluted political remains must bo burled beyond hope of resurrection, tor they menace our liberties and make government by the people a tragical farce. He who bears office for Brooklyn must serve the people. His trust should be aa sacred as his life. He must not be eloquent In excuse nor snust his administration be defensive.

He must the pat' mruil with the people he must lead He cannot be all things to all men." but ha can be honest with all men. Individuals he will offend many of them, This Is Inevitable, but a sreat community ha must never offend-that Is fatal. snaw must be acute. He must see fraud from afar, and to smell curupUua must be as easy as breathing. Though his rule may be Republican yea.

It should be Republican, for political coalitions are political abortions. Nevertheless. It must not be for partisan aln. Brooklyn first and always. This la the shining pathway to rood sovernment.

ood Second terms to the winds! They will take cars of themselves. The Mayor's office la already the sepulchre of too many blemished reputations and blmatad hopes. In January next our truest will take office aa Mayor of Brooklyn. Ills plurality rote surpasses that of any other Mayor In our history la this, and in the people's splendid uprising, bis election Is without parallel. He Is to rule a city of nearly l.OuO.OOo people city whose population has Increased upward of SuOOCiO In twelve years.

Manifold difficulties await him: he comes to the -ofhoe untried. He must be wise aa a he must Judge men on sight. Novelty of change will have disappeared; the heat of the campaign over, impatient people will demand Impossibilities, selfish-ess will be ImpTjrtunate. and evU counselors sleepless dry bones la office will ouake. while lantern-Jawed political dead beats out of offlos eernand.

living at 120 Chaun-cey Street. Brooklyn, burled his wife, Fannie Unqvlst, yesterday afternoon. Snerdled In the Flatbush Insane Asylum -last Sunday night. Before burying her, he registered his protest against the cruelty which, he claims, is practiced upon the helpless patients in the asylum by the brutal nurses and physicians. Mr.

Linqvist says his wife was entered at the Receiving Hospital at Flatbush on Sept. 11. and was removed three weeks ago to the asylum building, suffering from melancholia. On Nov. 12, while he was visiting her, she showed him her arms, which were a mass of bruises.

She also showed him scars on her knees, where, she said, the nurses had beaten her. She begged him to get her out of the asylum, saying that when she complained she was beaten In the face. He decided to remove her, but. having just obtained employment after having been out of work for several months, be could not get to the hospital until last Sunday. Then he found his wife lying unconscious' on a mattress, on the floor of her room.

The attendants told him her bedstead had been taken away because she threw herself out of bed the night before. She died on Sunday night, and her husband, who had gone home, was asked to consent to an autopsy. He refused, and, he says. Dr. Tracey, of the Asylum staff, who had the case In charge, refused to issue the death certificate until the cause of death was ascertained.

Coroner Kene then notified Dr. Duryea of the Receiving Hospital to make an autopsy. He did so. and certified that the cause of her death was lobular pneumonia and oedema of the lungs." caused by val-vu'ar. obstruction in the heart.

The body was then delivered to the woman's husband, and he says It was covered with bruises from head to foot. Dr. 8ylvester, Superintendent of the asylum; Dr. Tracey. who attended the woman; Dr.

Duryea. who made the post mortem, and Coroner Kene deny the accusation, and say the bruises found upon her were superficial, and such as are caused on every person by ordinary contact with Inanimate objects Linqvlst's landlady and Undertaker M. F. Demlnger say the body showed the marks of blows and kicks, some of which were old and some fresh. Coroner Kene said there was no possible connection between any bruises on the woman's body and the cause of her death, and called attention to the fact that when Mrs.

Martha Adair died recently from a beating given her by two nurses in the Flatbush Asylum the facts were disclosed through the Coroner's office. Dr. Sylvester made a report of the case to the Commissioner of Charities of Kings County yesterday which Is a general denial of all Lindqvtst's chargea Linqvist says he will take the matter before the courts and have the nurses, whose names are Sullivan and Burns, punished for beating his wife to death. eeeeesisswssMtesesssessee4wsetas4sj4 PARTY POWER AWD PURITY BROOKLYN DEMOCRATIC CLUB PLAIT OF RX0RQA5IZATI05.

A special meeting of the Broklyn Demo cratic Club was held at 1U headquarters. 201 Montague Strest, last evening for the purpose of receiving the report of tne Committee of Fivel appointed to take into consideration the matter of the reorganisation of the Dernbcratic Party In Kings County. report of the committee, pre sented at the meetifag. la as follows: To the Brooklyn Demdcratle Club: Tour committee apebtnted at the last meeting of the club to prepare and submit a plan for the reorganisation of the petnocratla Party of Kings County respectfully i-ixirts: That It 'has held numerous meetings and has carefully examined aid considered the matters referred to It. and has endeavored to the best of Its ability to devise al comprehensive plan under which the Democrata this county may organise and make themselves in effective and honorable instrument for the mi Intenance and propagation of true Democratic prl nclpies and for the preservation to the Deoole this county of wise, effi cient, and honest local! government.

It la notorious that the present organization or the party does not truly represent the Democracy of this county; that itfhas come Into the control of unlit men. who have used It. sot with a view to the welfare of the (people whose political Interests they should reftresent. but for their own personal and selfish anld. In many Instances, corrupt ends, and have Inaugurated and endeavored to perpetuate methods I In the party organisation that are undemocratic! The Inevitable tendency of this Is to subject tlie community and Individ uai citizens to Intolerable oppression in person and property; to takd away, one by one.

the safeguards to which, ks a free people, we are emitieo. and te lmperlllclvU liberty Itself. How completely unrepresentative of Democratic sentiment has been the present organization we nave seen in roe partiaipation wiinout protest in the Infamous midwinter convention of February, 1K2: In the unanimous declaration of Its repre sentatives In the Chicago Convention that rover leveiana couia not carry the state or Mew- In the aid given! by It to the nomination of Edward Murphy, for 8enator, and the nomination ot Isaac Hi Maynard for Judge, ana in those nominations recently made In this city and county, which havfc been so overwhelmingly conaemnea oy tne pepple. The extent of the Democratlo Indignation! aroused by these abuses oi tne party organisation is but partially shown bv the fact that mork than one-third of the Democrats voting on tne 7th of November last rotes lor a KepuMlcan I candidate for Mayor. In all Its deliberations your committee haa had In mind the necessity bf so reforming the con stitution ana metnoat or the party that the will of the whole body may) be made effective In Its conauct ana management; that every Democrat shall have full and free opportunity to participate In the action of I his party, and that no man or set oi men carl possibly acquire an Improper ascendency, exdppt through the neglect and fault of the peoiSe themselves.

In other words, that the management of the party as an organized body may be truly Democratic. Your committee appreciates tiat no permanently good result can be achieved unless the people themselves be rigtlant and onsclentlous In performing their political dutli and that the utmost that can be accomplish) In any organization Is to provide such simple i nd comprehensive methods and safeguards as vtll nut it In the power of the people to aecur i and direct the honest and efficient management of their political affairs. All else must be left to the people themselves Your committee Is al 10 convinced that a reorganisation of the part: on the lines above Indicated cannot bo safely Intrusted to the persons who now control Its organization for the reason that they i the ones who have brought the party Into 1 a present disrepute, and that their actions In the past show them to be at least not in sympathy nth any real change in the direction of better methods; that the reorganization should be i ndertaken by those In full sympathy with the principles above stated, and be carried through in the first instance by them, but that, after haa been accomplished, the various an oclatlons and primaries ahould be thrown open in the widest possible manner, to the end thi every Democrat may hecome a member of his I ical association and take full and free part In all ts primary action. With this explanation rour committee presents the following plan of organisation: 1. The essential features of this plan are: (a) The election district aa the basis and source of all primary aci Ion.

(b Admission of all emocrats to the district associations upon proper and broadly Democratic test. c) As far as possible knd practicable the representation in conventlois by delegates elected directly by the electioi districts, and. where this Is not possible or SracUcable, some simple arrangement by which the minority can be fairly represented, (d) Public office holder not to be delegates to nominating conventions. II. In general terms, the organization ahould consist of: (a) Election district mi toclatlona.

composed of all Democrats In each lection district who desire to enroll themselves and who meet the test prescribed. b) Ward Committees md Town Committees, to consist of one or mi re members from each election district In the ward or town, and to be chosen directly by th members of the election district associations c) A County General 'orrimitte. to consist of members from each ward a id town, and tobechosen by the Ward and Town Committees under some plan that will give the norlty in each ward and town a reasonable repres ntatlon. The functions and pos era of the County and Ward Committees shoul 1 be carefully limited, and consist generally the right to Ox the times for holding piimai lea and conventions, to make up the roll for he conventions In the first Instance In accords nee with proper rules, to decide In the first in itance contested claims for seats In the conver lions, to provide temporary chairmen and i ecretarles for conventions, and to set onventlons in motion; with the provision, howev -r, that each convention should have the right review the action of these committees In rega rd to Its own roll and to contested claims for se its IIL The test to be appl ed to any person seeking admission to an elec ion district association ahould be: a) That he Is a cltlze i of the United States and qualified to vote at th next ensuing election. (b) That he Is attached the principles of the Democratlo Party and del res loyally to act with and support that party.

(c) That he wUl not. without first resigning from the association, takt part In any primaries or conventions of any oth party or political organization. (d) That he accepts and subscribes to the constitution of the Democrat! Party of Kings County, of which the assoclatl is a part. e) That he accepts it i a the true and settled doctrine of the Democrat I Party that its members In any community si ould. In municipal affairs first and completely serve the Interests of the community, and to I hat end.

If a regular Democratic organization ihall nominate plainly unfit candidates, or by otl er methods betray the Interests of the communlt then to agitate and vote against such candldi tes and openly oppose such methods, even if su course involves supporting for office candidal of another political party. In order to bring about i permanent and trustworthy reorganisation upo i the lines above indicated, the following prelir ilnary steps should be taken: iJ!" A Frwislona!

Mr. Shepard said -the committee outlined the plan of reorganisation, but the details must be left to others, in whom the club had confidence.

It comes down to these three essential points," said Mr. Shepard. first, the election district plan; second, exclusion of office holders, and, third, leaving the details to the Committee of One Hundred, to be appointed by the President," An amendment for a week's postponement was lost, only eleven members voting In favor of It. against about sixty who wanted Immediate action.

Inquiry in Brooklyn yesterday brought to light some facts concerning the men who under the name of the People's Railroad Company applied to the Common Council on Monday for a crosstown street railroad franchise covering thirty-two miles of streets. Francis J.

Callanen, the President of the company, was in Brooklyn a good deal last Spring when the Union Street Railroad Company was trying to get a franchise from the Aldermen. Mr. Callanen made several calls at that time on the people who were fighting the Klynn syndicate and the Brooklyn City Railroad Company, and represented that he controlled some capital and would be glad to get into the road with his friends. He was sus pected or being, in reality, associated with the Flynn syndicate, and he was not let Into the opposition company largely on that account. Mr.

Callanen lives In Rutherford. N. His business mall Is sent to 44 Broad Street! New-Yorlu in care of the General Electric Company. Frank Gardner, the Secretary of the People's Railroad Company, is Callanen's brother-in-law. He is a young lawyer, with an office on the eighth floor of the Real Estate Exchange Building, In Montague Street, Brooklyn.

Mr. Gardner told a reporter for' The New-York Times yesterday that the People's Railroad Company was a bona-flde concern. We have been getting our plans ready for some time." said Mr. Gardner. We have no connection with the Flynn syndicate, the Brooklyn City Railroad Company, or any existing company or syndicate.

We represent only ourselves. We have the money to build the road, and we will build It aa soon as we get the franchise. We do not intend to hold the franchise as a speculation or to dispose of It to anybody. We think our proposed route Is a good one for travel. President Callanen virtually owns the company.

He has been a railroad man all his life. He began his experience on the old Utlca. Clinton and Blnghamton Road, and he has been associated with railroad enterprises In Syracuse and elsewhere In the East, and also in the West." Trolley Cars In Collision.

When the police force was first organised, the boy did keep a tab oh mem at nis store, but he was not a Police Sergeant I threatened to have a reoorter arrested on Monday because he would not tell me who the man was that told him my son was a Police Sergeant." Did the reporter finally tell you? Mr. McKane was asked. "No, he did not." replied Mr.

McKane. and I did not cause his arrest, because I did not want to give him any annoyance." men Chief McKane dropped the subiect and began to talk about Coney Island In Its old daya A Brooklyn reporter who recently Inter viewed Mr. McKane told a reporter for The New-York Times yeBterday that the interview was as follows: I want the name of the man who save you the information about my blind son being a Police Sergeant." said Mr. McKane. I cannot give It to you." replied the re porter.

The story Is made out of whole cloth. otherwise you would give me the name," McKane No. Sir. It la not," replied the reporter, but It is a rule of our office not to divulse the name of any person who gives Information." "Then. If you refuse to give me the man's name.

Mr. McKane said to a reoortvr for The New-York Times yesterday that there bad been a big cnangs in that great re sort. Why, when I went there first I used to ride around In a carriage, and I had a revolver in one hand and one was always In my Up. ready for use.

President Oott of the Kings County Board of Charities and his Democratic cot league. Commissioner Murphy, are anxious to transfer the control of the Kings County farm at St. Johnland from the county to the State. Their anxiety at this time Is due to the fact that on Jan. 1 Commissioner Murphy will step out of the board to give place to the new Commissioner.

Charles J. Henry, who was appointed with Commissioner Slmls by Supervisor at Large KlnkeL Mr. Gott will then be In a minority, and his pet schemes will be blocked by the two other members of the board, who. though Democrais, are not In thorough sympathy with him. Messrs.

Oott and Murnhv srmil.I therefore like to see fhe new board shorn oi mucn or its power. President Oott yesterday Introduced ths subject rather sudddenly by proposing resolutions declaring that Kings County has been called upon to- pay S160.G67.0S annual State tax for the support of the insane oe other counties, gets no benefit therefor, but is oougea to pay 1375,000 additional for th support, of its own Insane. Mr. Oott explained that the matter would first have to be acted upon by the Board of Supervisors. Mr.

Murphy expressed himself In favor of the scheme. Commissioner Simla said he would require time to the subject, and at his suggestion ths resolution was laid over for a week. The Commissioners have been looking over tbe pay roll since election and they have discovered that the county is paying a number of men for work that is not performed. Yesterday they lopped off a fees Among them was Liner Tracey. the pugilist.

Tracey keeps a saloon, but he has been carried on the books of the Charities Commissioners aa a painter snd has been drawing money regularly. Thirty-two others were dropped.
