JULIA COVERT. I'lto Widow of a Onco Prominent musician Expires at Canartiic, Mrs. Julia Covert, widow of Bornard Covert, an old resident of Brooklyn and a doBoondant of tho early settlora of Long Island, died Tuoaday morning after a briof illness, at tho residonco of her sister, at Canuraie. Mrs. Covert waa born at Smithtown, L.

Soptomber 1, 1808, and took up hor residonco in this city when only 17 yoars of age. Sho waB a desoondaut of tho Frenoh ftu guonots, hor father being Captain Do South, a woll knowu soa captain. Although iu her 813d year, Mrs. Covert was In possession of all her faculties up to within a short timo of hor demise. She had been iu failing hoalth for some time, but it was not until a wook previous to her death that sho took to hor bod.

She diod from tho offeeta of old ago, and passod away quietly aud peacefully in the presence of children and grandohildren. Sbo Ieavos two sous aud two daughters, all mar riod. Soon aftor coming to Brooklyn Mrs. Covort bo oaujo a member of tha Baptist church, comer of Nassau and Liberty streets. Sho posaossod a remarkably sweet voico, and it was not long beforo sho bocamo ono of tho mombers of tho choir.

It was whilo aingiug in the choir that alio mot hor future husband, who waa at that timo tho church choirmaster. Sho was marriod to Mr. Covort in 1820, aud survived his doath by oight yoara. Sir. Covort was a professional muaiciau, and gained considerable renown dnring tho dayj of the rebellion by writing and putting to music: "Grant, Our Groat Commander," "Sheridan's Ride, "Tho Sword of Bunkor Hill," and other Bongs, all of which socurod a wide popularity.

For many yoara Mrs. Covort waa an activo member of tho Johnson street M. E. church, but about ton yoara ago failing health oompollod her to retire from taking any activo part in tho roliu'ious work of tho church. Sho was a dovout Christian and was dearly belovod by all who knew her.

church, aud tho interment was iu tho family plot in the now cemetery at Cauaraic. THE ENTERPRISE WAS ALWAYS LEAKY. Carelessly M'nt Together Viicler Privato Contract. A highly reasonable explanation of tlio mysterious leaks lu tho United States ship Enterprise, which has been in dock at the navy yard for BOToral days and puzzling tlio experts to locate tho holes in her hull, waa furniahod to day by an old omployo of tho governmout, who ia intimately acquainted with tho history of tho vessel's construction. Tho Enterprise was built about sixteon years ago at tho Port inouth navy yard, whore tho Essex was constructed at tho same timo.

The two craft aro siater ahiDs, having boon laid down from tho samo molds. Tho Easox, however, was built by tho department under tho supervision of Naval Constructor Wabb, now retired, whilo tho Enterprise was put together by a Brooklyn contractor named John Grlffithe, sinco deceased. Tho government had nothing whatever to do with tho construction of the Enterprise, except to pormit her to bo built in tho Portsmouth yard, and thoro was groat rivalry betwoen tho department and tho privato contractor to koo which should turn out the better ship tho quicker. Tlio Enterprise waa not "fastened" as naval naoplo say, by any means, as she should have been, and, to make this defect worse, on tho vory day day ahe was launohed sho went aground ou tho rocks of Pumpkin island, and lay there till the high wator Heated her off. Sbo wont down to the Norfolk yard tho next day leaking badly, and there the copper Bheots, all now though thoy wero, woro ripped off, and whoro the bolts in tho planking wero wooden wedges wero driven in and the wator swelled them till tho leaks woro closed and tho copper went on again.

Tho Enterprise haa always beon a leaky ship Binco then, and tho government haa spent many times tho sum for repairs that was saved by building tho ship under contract. ALBANY STRIKERS DISCONSOLATE. TUcir Families lu Want ana tbc Promised Fonda Arc Itot Received. Spocial to tho Eagle. Albany, N.

Soptomber 11. Half a dozon strange mon woro cloaotod in Superintendent Biaaoll's offico at tho Central depot yoaterday morning. Whether they wero in the role of informers or were strikers soeking a reinstatement was not disclosed. Tho belief is that their presenco waa duo to Bomo knowledge in their possession about tho recent wreekiug at tempta on the Hudson rivor division. The Tom Cain whose name waa mentioned at tho Troy examination aa ono of tho alleged train wreokers who atill eludoa capturo had a residence at fill Clinton avenue, in this city, until recently.

It is reportod that ho ia in custody at North Adann, Mnsa. Cain is a Central and Hudson brakem.xu, who went out with tho strikers. He is a well known knight of labor. Ni mation is forthcoming from tho peoplo living in tho samo house that Cain occupied except that ho was a boarder thoro. Cain is a light oomploxioned man about 30 years of age.

He haa been conspicuous at recant meetings of tho strikers and tho railroad officials aro said to believe that ho is tho man who placod tho obstructions on the track below the city last Thursday night. Tho Btrikera at this point aro iu a disconsolate mood, and their lack of success in securing a share of tho funds said to havo beon contributed for their support ia likely to load shortly to an open rupture hero betweon the loaders aud their follower. Tho men are becoming desperate, many of thoir families beiug in actual want, and unleaa tho atriko is spoodily declared off or monoy is forthcoming, many of thorn will desert tho order aud apply for work on tho railroad.

Delegatos from twenty Republican organizations throughout tho city, composing the Kings county loaguo of Republican clubs, met in tho rooms of the Jamos W. Birkott association, 51 Myrtle avenne, last night and had a protracted diacusaion boforo indorsing the platform adopted by tho State league at Saratoga a week sko. Tho clubs represented at tlio mooting last night were tho Federal, U. S. Grant, Phil Sheridan, Invincible, of tho Seventh ward; James W.

Birkott association, Logan club, of the Eighth ward; William II. Loaycraft, Italian Republican club, of the Sixth ward; William J. Buttling olub, of tho Fifth ward; Garfield club, of tho Second ward; John Boll association. Lincoln club, of tho Nineteenth ward; Twenty first ward Republican battery, Swediah Republican central club, of Kings county; Swedish Republican club, of the Ttfonty seoond ward; Joseph Benjamin battery, of tho aixteentb ward; Linooln olub, of tho Eighth ward; W.J. Kaiser league, Harrison aar aociation, of tho Eighteenth ward, and tho F.fj' toenth ward Republican club.

The meoting waa called to order by Dr. W. H. Poudry and tho secretary was N. D.

French. After tho adoption of tho minutes of tlio previous meeting W. K. Van Motor, who, on behalf of tho loague, atchod tlio working of tho new ballot law at the Far Rockaway eloction, reported that it had not been strictly enforced, the arrangement of the boxes was faulty, and thero were not enough clerks. The principal defect waa that tho now law places a premium on tho BharpnoBS of clerks.

Many of tho voters folded their ballots wrone, and tho clerics would unfold them to refold them right, thus learning how the voter was voting. Again some of tho men would come from tho bootha with thoir ballots in a bunch and forget whioh thoy intended to voto. The three minute clause waa uot enforced, and there was always a Jumble within tho railing. The clerks themselves wero not posted on the law, ami men in tho booths Imiidod ballots to each othor over tno tops thereof, the bootha being but Bix foot high. Four or fivo men who couldn't road lodt their votes.

On tho wholo, howovor, Mr. Van Meter was impressed with the belief that the chances for corruption wero greatly reduced by the now mothod of voting. His repurt, thongh a verbal ono, waa ordered placed on tile, and tho socretary, not having a phonograph at tho mooting, is mystiBed as to tho filing. On behalf of tho executive committee, G. Hal lonbeck reportod, suggesting that the committeo procure two booths and 2.000 ballots for the exemplification of tho new law; that the executive committeo bo mado tho campaign committeo of tlio loagne, with power to hire permanent headquarters, and that tho various cluba mako earnest efforts to havo every Republican in tho city registered.

The suggestions woro adoptod. President Pendry then road his report as a delegate to tho Saratoga convention on Soptomber 4. Ho said: Tho convention wob largely attended by representative men of tho Iiepuh lican party, and tlio eiithnsiaum displayed augured woll for the party: and at no time have tho loaders placed such oqutidouco olub work as at Hie present They havo justly coiicoded thai club man are the young and vigorous clemont of tho party with whom they are willing to trust tho results of tho coming campaign, and it is for lii to boo that that trust has been well placod. Lot ns not, therefore, by reason of apathy or over confidence, lose one vote. Stringent moans must bo taken to havo every Republican voter register and then see that ho docs voto.

Tho matter of educating tho voter in the now syatom of voting must bo vigorously canicd forward. All theso tasks wero willingly accepted on behalf of this loagne in executive committoo, to which your president had the houor of being elected a moui ber, in tho full belief that thoy would be oheer full.r fathered by you. Dr. Pondry's report contained tho platform adoptod at tho convention and which included this section: Sec. K.

Thia convention indorses most heartily tho action of the Republican state committee in its denunciation of Hamilton Fish, jr. and Frederick S. Gibbs, for their betrayal of the party In tiio last legislature. Thenc men proved themselves unworthy of tho trust reposed in thorn by their party and aro no longer Republicans. James P.

Puiis, president of tho William J. Kaiser league, strenuously objected to this soc tion. He said he knew Giliba personally, and knew him to be a nood Republican who had workeil hard and zealously tor tho party in tho Thirteenth district. New York. There waa not a bettor Republican in tho room than wan Gibbs, and ho d'ulis) could uot seo why ho should bo downed.

Ex Supervisor W. J. Mills, of tho Nineteenth ward, supported Puiis and said that many prominent Republicans had bolted tho nomination of Folger, who was "one of the noblest mon God ever put the breath of lifo into," yet these Republicans had climbed higher and higher in tho party council Homo of theso mon woro Nine cnth ward Republicans who, in 1882, supported Grovcr Cleveland for governor. Joseph Benjamin mado a vigorous sneech in support of tho resolution denouncing Fish and Gibbs, and moved that the report ns road by Dr. Pendry bo reouived and adopted.

He denounced Fish and Gibbs for combining with tlio Democrats in the servico of Governor Hill, and Baid Gibbii, as tho reward of his trenchory to the Republican pr.rty, had boon appointed a polico justico for ten years at 000 a year. 'T blame Mayor Low," said Mr. Benjamin, that thia is not a Republican city to day. Applause The trouble with us is that wu havo no leader. It ib all personal politics with un, and thoro is not that discipline upon which the success of iho Republican party must depend.

I only wish Wo had aa atriot a boss in thia county aa havo tho Dcmoorata." Mr. aaid it was a bad place to wash dirty linen, that peoplo who live in glass houses shouldn't hurl rooks and words to that effect, whereupon Harry W. Jones made tho point of order, which was declared woll taken, that Mr. Mills wasn't speaking to the question. Goorgo Kenneth, of tho Federal club, spoke in favor ot tho Saratoga resolutions, and Dr.

Pen dry said that tho resolutions had been adopted at Saratoga by a vote of to 0, all the delegates from KingH county voting in tlio affirmative. Mr. Pubs offered an amendment th it tho resolutions bo adopted after the elimination of sections. The amendment nw lost by a voto of adopted, with Puiis and Mills alone voting in tho uegativo. Then Jamos B.

Puiis, Goorgo Konneth and Josoph Bonjamin woro appointed a committee to frame a congratulatory telegram to Speaker Reed, and reported tho following, which waa at onco wired: Hon. T. II. fae'l, Washington, D. The Kings county loagne of Republican clubs in meeting aa.

embled cxtond to you their sincere and hoarty congratulations on the great victory achieved for Republican principles by your oleetiou. W. H. Penpiiy, President. Tho meeting then adjournod to meet in Garfield halU 427 Marcy avenue, on the 23d inst, when tho now mothod of voting will bo gono through.

After tho meoting tho Birkott association entertained the delegates at a Democratic sort of banquet. 1SAPID TRANSIT ASD TOPULATIOK. As usual, tho respective rates of increase in iho gross earnings of tho Manhattan and the Brooklyn elevated roads present a striking illustration of tho way in which Brooklyn ia growing at our expense Tho gross earnings of the Manhattan for tho year onding with thia month arc esti mated at 401, 0'lo, an increase of 4.52 per cent ovor the year ending Septombor 30,1880. The gross oaruiuga of tho Brooklyn elovatod road for tho year ended Juno 30 last were $1,007, 511; tho total for tho year ended Septombor 30, 1880, was so that horo is an average growth of 43.7 per cent, in nine months in Brooklyn traflie aa against a growth of 4.53 per cent a year in New York traffic. Tho growth of 43.7 In Brooklyn is, of course, largely duo to new elevated road mileage, but that doos not altor tho argument for moro rapid trauBit in Now York, except to strengthen it.

Tho operating expenses of the Brooklyn road arc 5024,580, or nearly 50 per cent, of tho gross earnings, but for the year ending September 30, 1880, they were $005,124, or 03.7 per cent, so It ia evident that tho Brooklyn traflie is even moro profitable on inoreascd mileago than it was last year. Ou tho other hand, tho Manhattan ia also doing business at an increasod protit, having reduced its operating oxpeusos and taxes from 50 per coDt, of tho grosa oarnings last year to 53. a per cent, of them this year. In fact, that thrifty corporation has roducod not only its relative operating expenses but its actual operating expenses, for this item waa $5,422,304.47 last year and it ia $5,208,848 thia year. Tho Brooklyn elevated system hss beon doing this work of developing ISrooklynslnco 18S4.

Tho bridge began it a littlo earlier. Tho bridge was opened May 24, 1883, and had 5,332,500 passengers in the first Bix months of its existence, and 12,400,840 in its first full fiscal year, which ended November 30, 18,84. It had 37,150,400 passengers in tho fiscal year which ended with November last, and will probably have over forty million this year. Aud yet somo peoplo wondor that Now York'B resident population incroaaed only 25.13 per cent, in ton years, whilo that of Brooklyn increased 41.05 por cent It must bo evident to any candid person that Brooklyi3 growing tremendously, not only becauso Bhe is a healthy and commodious city, but becauso sho is absorbing tho normal increase of Now York's population, by moans of superior rapid transit facilities.

In accepting tho chair, Mr. Ogilvio said he waa glad to soe so much enthusiasm shown by the oitizens and proporty owners in tho mat tor.

Palmor, a prominent real estato agent in tho ward, stated that ho had called on Commlseiouor Adams during the day aud had been roferrcd to Water Purveyor Hawke. "'Whon I aBkod him," he continued, "what tho possibilities were to have the matter romodied, ho said it was tho intention to lay a 20 inch main, but whon It ia tho duty of tho citizona and proporty owuora to know whon. Tho question with thoao pooplo is the cost. It is to us sickness and empty honees. Wo havo not wator onough for sanitary purposes, let alone anything olso.

I hopo the voicoa of tho citizens will riug out betwoen now and Noyombor 1, and we will thou havo a wator supply." Johu Y. Walsh waa tho next sneaker. Ho dwelt on the sanitary condition of affairs and declared that if something not dono at onoe to remedy matters thia would oortainly bo an imprudence. The committee on resolutions at this point en torod tho hall and submitted the following which woro uuanimonaly adopted: 11 hereas, Wo, tho citizens and taxpayers of tho Seventeenth ward, lu mass mooting ansombIod, doBiro to call attention to and oil'or a protest agalnut the inoonvenionco, annoyance, distress and actual danger at nresont existing in our midst, owing to our totally inadequate wator supply; and Wht'reas, During tho hours botweon 7 A.

Wo allowed the city to put it. own price upon it; and Whereas, Wo have fulfilled our part of the contract, and now tho city nogiooU to do its part.

What would bo dono to any private corporate body which acted in this manner? Would any Court of justice rcfuae to entertain a suit brought againat such a body' for breach of contract? And would not a jury aaaeiis io heavy damages tho party who would so ruthloaaly imuoril the livoa of our little onoa? Whereas, The Btaiuling monaco to health is not tho only danger confronting us, but loss of lifo and destruction of property, in the event of a conflagration which is not only probablo but ia almost unavoidable. Proporty also is rapidly depreciating in value, oapecially along the lino of our principal buuincss artery, Manhattan avenuo, and it is almost impossible to rent or retain ton ants on tho upper lloors of any of tho flue, desirable aud in all respects, but that of water well equipped houso.i, which lino that thoroughfore; Whereas. Thia lamentablo condition of affairs exists, as shown by tho forogoing preamble and the time haa now come when it ia imperatively necoaaary to provide for tho actual needs of a ward whioh has increaaed in a very few years from a population of 15,000 to almost fifty thousand, and whoro factonoa and industries havo moro than doubled in tho samo period; thorefore, bo it Resolved, That a committeo of residonts bo appointed by tho ohairman to wait upon our mayor and ask him to take immediato stops to relievo us temporarily by regulating tho use of wator by all manufacturing o. uabliahmenta and preventing if possible any reekloas or criminal waste of tho samo by tho or by stoani vessels supplied along our water front; and bo it further Jiesoluert, That his honor be aakod to havo built without delay an additional water main through this district, to the end that wo havo wator onouh in the futuro to remove tho fear of a plaguo from vitiated air and tho destruction of lifo aud proporty in caso of lire. Aftor tho adoption of tho resolution Jamos Quigloy auggostod that tlio committee selected by the chairman be men who would not bo afraid to go before tho mayor anil express the sonti ments of the peoplo of tho ward iu the mattor.

He was received with much enthusiasm. He asaertod that it was not the flrBt timo ho had Btood upon a public platform to talk in favor of wator. Laughter. Continuing, he said: Whilo I am ontirely in favor of wator I am as much opposed to Prohibitionists. Thoy aro a class of mon who aro at any timo liable to prohibit tho ubo of water as well as liquor; yes, I will go so far as to say oven broad and butter.

Wo can uso too muoh water as well as liq uora. While I am a atroug opponent of tho uso of liquor I liko to como out in favor of wator. Lot mo say that I novor had before mo such un audionco as this clamoring for wator. I am glad to boo it, as tho aaloon is the enemy of every home. Twelve months ago wo had no very great roaaon to complain of tho scarcity of water, but since that timo tho matter haa changed.

I am afraid the politicians had moro to do with thia thiug than God Almighty. Thoro havo been amnio falls of rain and numerous storms. Tho politicians aro looking not for tho peoulo's good, but for their own pockets. What power haa a priest, or a dolegation of mon when they go before tho chief magistrate of tho city or any othor to remedy thoir wants unless thoy havo the aid of politicians In this caso wo havo tho politicians with us, and I think when thin committoo appointed hero to night waits upon hia honor ho will look out for ua. Tho longer I live in thia ward tho moro into tho world I seem to bco.

It is becauao ovorybody knows everybody's business. We aro now going to lot tho wholo city know our business, and whou they hoar it thoy will fool ashamed to think that somo of our citizens aro suffering for tho want of wator. About tho oity hall I bclievo they think the people in tho Seveutoenth ward aro a group of nobodies. The time has arrived when we should apoak, but we should mako onrolves felt aud show them that we havo a right to tho necesaary improvements and that we shall bo put ou tho samo footing with any of tho other wards in tho city. Wo havo beon treated as babios too long, beoauso wo havo never been appreciated as a people.

I say shame, gentlemen, that you havo not had your rights before now. Now is your time to como forth and mako a de maud.a aerioua demand. You havo a right to that water just as much aa you have a right to God's air. Wo aro increasing horo in population. It ia a shamo that we should be treatod as suckling infants.

Tho oity of Brooklyn waa tho third city in tho Union, but now it is counted tho fourth on account of tho politicians. Iain edncating 000 ohildren, and thoro ia not a drop of wator that thoy drink but what I pay for. Other children go to the public aohoola, receiving their hooka, whioh ara furnished by the board of education, while I must pay for everything. Is that right Although a free country wo aro tho most oppressed peoplo in tho world. No othor couu try on the face of tho globo would Btand Thn.t wo do.

Yon want to Dav vour wator taxes but in roturn want water. Dooa the butcher or grocer givo out his goods without getting the pouniea in return 1 Away with houoaty and justico I That is now tho cry. Do yon moan to toll mo it ia honest or juat to take your money when you have rocoived nothing for it 7 The smallest child In my Sunday school will toll you that it is not God's justice." The speakor conoluded by saying that hohopod tho cry would be continued until ovory demand that was just was adoquately ropliod to. Dr. R.

E. Van Goisen followed. Ha roferred to the sanitary condition of tho houses iu tho ward, which, ho said, were in a very alarming Btato for tholaokof wator. Ho asserted that an epidemio was likely to break out at any timo if tho matter was not romodied. Tho health of tho pooplo, tho speaker avorrod, was the supromo law, and on that point thoy had gathorod for consultation.

He had mado an examination of tho tenement houses and had found them in a frightful state. He declared that it waa only by tho mercy of overruling Providence tiat the ward was not in the deadly grip of an epidemio. The Rov. Mr. Reid noxt spoko briefly on tho Bubjoot.

Father O'Hare then moved that a protoBt bo propared and that every man lu the hall placo hia namo upon It. Other petitions will bo Bent about the ward and tho names obtained will be presented to the mayor. CATHOLIC KNIGHTS Of AHEBICA. Fbemont, Septombor 1.

Mr. Ennis said that If any of tho members whoso namos were strickon off was present and could show that his namo had beon takon off without causa it would bo restored.

No ono responded. Mr. John MoCarty said that ho was astonished to loam that thero were so many delinquent Democrats in tho ward. How much hotter, ho added, would havo beon tho showing of tho Democrats in the ward last November had theso men voted. All of them could not havo removed from the ward.

The association ought to find somo moans, private or publio, by which theso delinquents could be reached. It was surprising to find that men who called themsolvos good Domocrata Bbould have acted in this way. It was no excuse for a good Democrat to say that ho could not find time to resistor or vote. Could not some means bo devisou by personal call or otherwise to loam from thorn the reason why they forboro to exeroise their citizenship last election day 7 It was surprising that such a number of delinquents should be found. There must bo somo reason why thoy did not como out on eloction day.

Tho ohairman also said that ho was snrprisod that so many had failed to voto, but presumed that several of tho names reported were thoae of members who had left the ward. On motion of Mr. Fagon it was resolved that tho delinquents bo invited to be present at the noxt meeting of tho association. Tho report of tho revising committee was then adopted. On some five or six propositions for membership being roforred to tho investigating committeo Mr.

Ennis remarked that members proposed and accoptod now could not be enrolled till after Deoembor 15, and that persons strickon from tho roll could bocomo members again only by being proposed. Mr. 0. Crysler offered resolutions of respect to tho memory of tho lato John D. Ahrous, which woro unanimously adopted.

Justice Konua, on being introduced, proceeded at onco to enlighton tho mombors ou tho mye torieB of tho now ballot law, and contrivod to mako a rather prosy subjeot interesting by sov eral very happy little hits. Thus, when asked by one of the members how the voter could toll whether ho was exactly throe minutes in tho booth or not, so as to conform to tho law, he said: "I do not think that provision can bo en lorood unless every oitizon do lurniBhod with a stop watoh: but ho is only limited to threo minutes or ton in case tho other booths are oocuniod. If they aro not occupied, and he iB fond of soli tuao, no can stop inero an nay." Again, having doscribod tho orthodox method of loldiug uio ticicot irom tno Dottom to tho perforations botwoou tbo ticket and tho stub, ho said: "Tho ticket rou intend to voto boinir the right ono, you, of eourso, hold in your right your loft because you dosiro that they shall got Jolt." Xlio justloo tnon, with tho am of tho booths auu Ballots provmoa lor tua occasion ana a number of improvisod oanvassers, inspectors and watchers, cavo a nractical illustration of tho system. This dono, ho roturned to the platform and said that ho folt compelled to complimont tho association and its oiucera notwithstanding thoir blUBhes, especially those or Soeretary Ale Koo, whoso oxtremo modesty waa well known.

Emu Souotbsi. The Political Situation Queens County. in Snponrisor Dylies tho Comtnf? Man for County Trea3nror Scbool Coatoation in Huntington Meeting or Physicians. General NevTB. Correspondence of the Eagle.

Flushing, L. Soptomber 10. Tho Flushing wing of tho political boodlers in Queons county havo bogun early to sot traps to catch their full share of tho lovoa and fishes that fall to tho schemers who traffic in the sale of votes in norolnating conventions. Somo nont party mon in the town havo waked np to tho scandal and there is going to bo a mighty struggle to send mon of integrity to the couvon tion, which is called to meot in Jamaica on tho 7th of October, for tho purpose of nominating a county treasurer, district attoruoy, suporintond ent of poor, threo coroners and a justice for tho sessions and to choose sixteon delegates to a con grossional convention. The county treasnrerahip is at tho presont time tho big bone in tho soup bowl.

Supervisor Joseph Dykes, tho leader of tho rcspectablo Flushing Domocracy and a man of Hue abilities, is in the Hold for tho nomination, but ho has got to fight tho Paddy Marra ring, and he means to do bo tooth and nail, and if tho peoplo turn out as they promiso to at tho primaries it will be a Waterloo of big proportions for the gang. Mr. Dykes has boatch thorn beforo, and under the inspiration of local prido in securing for a worthy townsman a high office ho is pretty snro not to want for votes on tliis occasion. Mr. Dykes has boon a supervisor for ten years and four times prosidont of tho board, and tho affairs of his town havo boon conducted to the entire satisfaction of the people, but far from satisfactory to tho ring boned feeders at tho publio crib.

In a singlo instanco ho sawed $000 out of the bill of a colleague for bogus tax lease sorvice, and on another occasion he detectod and exposed a fraud of $700 by duplication of charges for authorized services, and to this day ho i3 Tilli 'flod for not closing his eyes to tho steals. These aro somo of the reasons why tho people of tho county havo conildonoo in him. Tho troasuror ship belongs to Flushing on tho basis of patronage division. Long Island City has tho sheriff, HempBtead the surrogato, Oyster Bay tho treasurer and a superintendent of poor, North Hempstead a superintendent of poor, Nowtown another and Jamaica tho country clerk and distriot attorney. Flushing has no county office whatever and demands recognition iu tho gift of tho troas urerehip.

Major Hogcman, of Oyster Bay, has boon county treasurer two tcrmB, and before that was deputy treasnror for two terms. It has beon the party oastom to giro a man two torms of this office and it haB never boon departed from but once, in the caso of Q. Edward Carl. Tho income now iB about $30,000 for tho term, and tho man who can round out two terms takeB a snug fortune with him into private life. Mr.

Hogoman has boon a faithful and efficient officer. It was the understanding three years ago, when ha was nominated for his second term, that Mr. Dykes should be his suoceBsor, and Flushing gave him a rousing vOto and savod him from defeat, Mayor Gleason having opposed him. It is Baid now that Mr. Hogoman is going to break the record, if ho can, by seeking ronomination for a third torm, Tho Marra faction in Flushing is out for him even against their own townsman, and thoy declaro that if thoy cannot win all tho delegates thoy will provont tho dolegation from being solid for Mr.

Dykes. Somo of tho party leaders do not look with favor on this third term business, while otliora of thorn cannot oppose it becauso they havo had four and fivo terms of other but less important and loss profitable offices. It ia probablo that Mr. Hegeman will go beforo tho convention and bo content with a complimentary vote rather than run counter to tho influoncos that havo cared for him so mnnifi contly, in which caso Mr. DykoB will receive nomination by acclamation.

Mr. Hegomau's own town paper, tho Gazette, advises him to recognize procodont and strengthen tho party as a mark of his gratitude. Mr. Fleming in all probability will succood himself as dintrict attorney. Thero are some nominal candidates, Mr.

Gleason, of Flushing, and Mr. Brown, of Hompstcad. Tho Marra men in Flnshing aro rallying for Mr. Gloason as a makeweight against Mr. Dykes, and the young lawyor'B friends do not look upon their support as a compliment.

Mr. Fleming is no man's man, and his administration has been so fair and hon orablo that tho public mind is not anticipating a change. In the first nsaombly district Solomon S. Town send, a sturdy Democrat, is likoly to bo favored with another terra in tho legislature. Honry C.

Johnson, tho Republican who ropresoutod tho socond district, by tho favor of Mayor Gleaaon who plowod under its Democratic majority of 1,000, ia said not to crave anothor term, but Mr. Thomas Piatt and tho beronlean mayor may induce him to consent to a (Bg oloction. Mr. Gloason got everything ho wanted in tho shapo of now laws for his municipality last winter, thereby greatly Increasing his power, and aB Mr. Tlatt will havo special and particular uso for assembly, men next yoar Mr.

Gleason is under obligation to furnish ono at loast, Mr. JohnBon or somo one elso. It is tho impression that Mr. Johnson has become ooizod with a burning dosiro to bo bib party's candidate for county treasnror, and will be if thero is a smash up in tho Domooratio ranks. Ho is confident of his ability to outrun Mr.

Hegeman, but might hositato to enter tho raco against Mr. Dykes. As tho county conventions will be held beforo the assembly conventions Mr Johnson will have tim'j in the intorim to settle tho mattor of the district nomination. Beyond all quostion James W. Covert will succeed himself as congressman.

In tho last two years his popularity in tho First district has mounted to tho pinnacle. Tho farmers in both parties will bo for him almost to a man, because he has been mindful of their interests iu favoring protection for them against the competition of foreign producors. Tho active interest ho took in tho Wallabout markot has also won for him supporters among the tillers of tho soil BEATEN BY OSE VOTE, Bttuntiiggteia About Equally SHvitlcd on tUo Scbool ttuetition.
