Gratification at the Strength of the City Ticket. WHAT THE POLITICIANS SAY. Tracy, Fitch and Appleton a Powerful Trio. HARD TO MATCH OR TO BEAT. THE JUDICIARY CONVENTION TOMORROW COUNCIL CONVENTIONS TO-MORROW NIGHT--LARGE NUMBER OF DELEGATES TO THE LATTER--MISTAKE ABOUT CONGRESSIONAL CONVENTION--THE FIRST TRACY BANNER THROWN TO THE BREEZE.
The Republicans of Brooklyn feel gratifled with the nomination made by the Greater New York City Convention yesterday. In the words of Justice Jacob Brenner, it was a proud recognition of this city in taking Gen. Tracy, an old Brooklynite, as the head of the ticket, and R. Ross Appleton, another Brooklyn man as candidate for President of the Municipal Council. It is a ticket that will grow In public estimation as the people measure it against any others that may be placed in the field.
Tammany Hall, its strongest competitor, can nominate no men who can equal Tracy, Fitch and Appleton, as a trio of responsible and intelligent men. All friends of good government will recognize this at once. COMMENDATION. There were kindly words of commendation for the ticket in every quarter, even Democrats admitted its strength, and said it would be hard to match it. Register Granville W.
Harman, who sat through both sessions of yesterday's convention, remarked: "It is a strong ticket, and it should win," Commissioner Theodore B. Willis said: "The ticket nominated is one of which Republicans and all good citizens may well feel proud. I regard it as a ticket nominated in the interest of the safety of the community. It is something that the voters of Greater New York can flock to on election day, with entire confidence and satisfaction, knowing that the candidates in themselves are a full guarantee of good government and an honest business administration of business affairs." Mayor Wurster, on being asked to-day how he regarded the Republican city nominations made yesterday, said in reply: "I consider Gen. Tracy as in every way fitted to assume the responsible duties of Mayor.
His public career has been such as to command the respect of all citizens. Fitch, having occupied and now the office of Controller, is no occupying, for that important position. There is a feeling, however, and a strong one in the city of Brooklyn, that one of those two places, the Mayoralty or the Controllership, should have come to Brooklyn, for the reason that the Mayor and the Controller are the only two who are elected by the people who sit permanently in the Board created by the new charter, known as the Board of Public Improvements. This Is a most important Board, and from it must first emanate all improvements that come to the Borough of Brooklyn, and comes all final decision on such improvements. Without one of the two places coming to Brooklyn, Brooklyn will 'have no friend sitting permanently on that Board to plead her cause or secure many improvements which are necessary, and to gain which many of the most ardent consolidationists voted to merge Brooklyn with New York City.
A city representing citizenship of 1,200,000 inhabitants is certainly deserving of having a representative elected by the people to take part In the government of Greater New York. "I have seen such citizen of Brooklyn as the Hon. Frederick A. Schroeder nominated for Controller. He is in every way qualified, served this city as both Controller and Mayor, and he could be depended upon to see that the rights of the Borough of Brooklyn would be sustained, and that she would receive her share of improvements.
"Ross Appleton has been a faithful publie servant, and is fitted to occupy the position for which he is nominated." And SO it ran along the lines among the men who will be prominent in the campaign work. They propose to hustle. ECHOES OF CONVENTION.

'TAMMANY SLATE' Leaders Have Not Yet Agreed On a Mayoralty Candidate. E. M.

The Democratic City Convention will meet to-morrow night in the Grand Central Palace, New YorkCity, but none of the machine leaders are yet prepared to say who the Mayoralty candidate will be. With the convention only twenty-four hours away, the "slate" is not made up, or if it is, Messrs Sheehan and Croker. are keeping the knowledge to themselves. So far as the Kings County men are concerned, they are at sea, and none of the 210 delegates to the City Convention from the Borough of Brooklyn can do more than hazard an opinion as to whom they will be called upon to vote for. tomorrow night.
Within the past two days matters. have been shaping for the nomination of Edward M. Grout, of this city, for Controller, but it is not certain that he will be selected for that place. The talk of the politicians is that Tammany has agreed to give Brooklyn the Controllership, but insists upon naming the man. Grout is fancied by the New York leaders.
because of their belief that his nomination will go far towards appeasing the silver men and securing the support of at least 8. portion of them for the ticket. The Willoughby street leaders are said to be pushing Bird S. Coler for the nomination, and they a're not enthusiastic over the proposition to name Grout. The Executive Committee of the Democratic General Committee met last night in the Jefferson Building.
It was expected that Bernard J. York would announce the result of his conferences with the Tammany leaders, and would assure his followers that Brooklyn was to have the Controllership. He did not do so, but instead announced that another conference was to be held, and that nothing definite could be announced until after that. Mr. York refused to give any information as to Mr.
Coler's candidacy for Controller. The other members of the committee were equally uncommunicative, although one or two admitted that Mr. Coler's name was, with others, under consideration. It is certain that his name has not been definitely decided upon, and the organization will make no final choice until after Mr. York's conference with Tammany.
Mr. Coler, however, stands well with the organization. He is chairman of the Finance Committee of the General Committee, and was the first president of the Young Men's Democratic Club of the Twenty-third ward. He is a member of the banking firm of W. N.
Coler of New York City. The representation of the boroughs in the Democratic City Convention will be as follows: Manhattan 350 Kings 210 Bronx 20 Queens 20 Richmond 10 As regards the Democratic County nominations, the situation is still muddied. The "slate" may be fixed up at any time now, but it may be Friday night before Willoughby street will give out the instructions. Justice Jacob Neu is somewhat exercised over a published statement was no longer in the race for the nomination for Sheriff, on the Democratic ticket, because he would be forced, if nominated, to resign his present position as civil justice. am still in the race." he said to-day, "and I want it to be understood.
According to the charter the positions of civil justices whose terms expire on Jan. 1. 1898, are to be filled by the Mayor, temporarily, until the election in the fall of that year, consequently there is no necessity for my resigning my office to enter the race for Sheriff. I am still-in the race." JERSEY'S FIGHT. Anti-Gambling Amendment Beaten By Five to Ten Thousand.
INDICATIONS OF THE LATEST RE- VISED RETURNS -WOMAN SUF- FRAGE AMENDMENT DEFEATED STILL MORE DECISIVELY- CLOSE MARGIN ON THIRD PROPOSITION. Trenton, N. Sept. latest revised returns and estimates this morning indicate that the anti-gambling amendment to the State Constitution has been beaten by from five to ten thousand. These figures may be materially changed as more complete returns come in from the rural counties, but there seems to be no doubt that the amendment is beaten.
The amendment giving women the right to vote at school elections is beaten worse than the anti-gambling amendment, while the ad interim appointment amendment is probably defeated by a close margin. The returns on the anti-gambling amendment show a large negative vote in the cities, where opposition to sumptuary legislation was the controlling influence more than a pro race track sentiment. In Monmouth County, which has no big cities, there was a large vote against the amendment because the people there never welcomed the closing of Monmouth Park. Hudson County was the only county in which there was any specially organized effort to defeat ca amendment. WILL TRACY STAY County Clerk Worth Says He Will Not Be Voted For.
AN INTERESTING INTERVIEW. MR. WORTH CHARACTERIZES YES- TERDAY'S CONVENTION IN STRONG TERMS, AND SAYS ITS PROCEEDINGS WERE A DISGRACE IT WILL TAKE A LONG TIME TO WIPE OUT. In an interview held this afternoon, County Clerk Worth, in reply to questions as to what he thought of the Republican Convention yesterday and the ticket, spoke as follows: "An indirect answer is as good an an. swer as can be given.
You can judge a good deal, if not entirely, character of the ticket nominated by the Republican City Convention last night from the manner in which the convention itself was conducted regardless of anything else. I have had a good deal of experience at political conventions and have read a good deal about others, and I want to say that never been a convention held anywhere- -that history does not record any held either for nominating or other purposes held in any part of the civilized world, except it was conceived in conspiracy, wherein free speech or ine dependence had to be suppressed and was SO violently and so brutally stifled. "It was a convention in which no one was permitted to say a word unless he had pledged himself in favor of the programme as laid down by those who had charge of the doors, and who would permit nobody to pass those doors unless he thought as they thought. It may be that such practices prevail in other places, but Greater New York is no place for them, and it is a disgrace which it will require a long time to wipe out, that such things would happen at a Republican convention held to nominate a candidate for Mayor of the biggest American city. In Brooklyn such a thing not only wouid not be tolerated, but could not be.
In their greed and their determination throttle the honest sentiments of the people they even adopted the policy of giving out no tickets except to men who were engaged to voice the sentiments of those who controlled the convention. I want to say that every word of this is absolutely true to the shame of those who are responsible for such a state of affairs, and it will surely react upon them sooner or later, perhaps sooner than they expect just now. "When a convention in its smallest details is manipulated in so outrageous A manner as I have described, what can you expect it to bring forth. What do I think of the ticket itself? I don't think it is necessary for me to say more than I have already said. I have no more idea that Gen.
Tracy will be voted for on election day for Mayor than I have that I will be myself. That being the case, it would be superfluous for me to say anything about the ticket. As Gen. Tracy will not be voted for, and as he will not be a candidate, what's the use of expressing an opinion?" MANY BURNED TO DISASTROUS FIRE AT MANILA, PHILIPPINE ISLANDS. Manila, Philippine Islands, Sept.

NATIONAL GUARD NOTES. PASSING EVENTS IN THE THIRTEENTH REGIMENT. Corporal Charles O. Dewey was last night unanimously elected second lieutenant of Company Thirteenth Regiment. Mr.
Dewey is the principal of one of the most successful public schools in this city. Ex-Private W. G. Staples has offered (Co. a prize worth $30 to be shot for at Creedmoor and the armory range, the highest score at 200 and 300 yards winning it.
Mr. Staples enlisted in 1864 and was a member of the company for thirteen years, but was dropped for some reason, not now known.

Out of gratitude for this act he makes this gift. Company last night unanimously tendered the nomination of captain to Eugene Cushman.
A series of Saturday night promenade concerts will be held by the Thirteenth Regiment beginning Oct. 23, continuing on Nov. 6 and 20, and Dec. 4. The Thirteenth will probably accept the new regulation fatigue cap officers in place of the old "Kepi," which Gen.

HOPE COMING. Peary's Aretic Steamer Arrives in Brooklyn To-night. STAR STONE- AND ESKIMOS WILL BE OPEN TO VISITORS FOR TWO DAYS, THEN TO THE NAVY YARD--THE CANNIBAL STORY PROMPTLY DENIED. Civil Engineer Peary's steamer, Hope, which left Boston evening, after discharging some portion- of her cargo, and most of her passengers, except the Eskimos from the north, will arrive with the great hundred-ton meteorite on board, during the night, and passengers across the Bridge in the morning, looking down, are likely to see her at Fulton Excursion Dock, foot of Dock street, just north of the terminus of the Bridge. The Hope will lie at this dock and to give Thursdeary friends an opportunity see the great Arctic "Star Stone," which he has at last succeeded in bringing back to America, and early Saturday morning the steamer will haul to the Cob Dock at the Na1 Yard, to have the huge mass hoisted out by the powerful hundred-ton floating crane at the Navy Yard.
In addition to the meteorite, there are six northern Eskimos on board, members of the tribe which Peary proposes to utilize in his coming effort to reach the North Pole. These people are the most northerly human, beings on the face of the globe. The tribe numbers but 236 or 237 souls, and has been completely cut off from the rest of the world up to six years ago, when Peary went among them in his first Arctic expedition. These Eskimos are to go to the American Museum in New York City, to arrange the large collection of costumes, tents, edges, canoes, weapons, of their tribe, which Peary has brought back during the last three years, and which through the generosity of President Morris K. Jesup, the Museum, have become the property of this institution.
The Eskimos on board the Hope are: Nook-tah, son of the old chief, Kool-00toon-ah, of Netulumi, who in 1853 frightened Dr. Hayes and his comrades nearly out of their wits by an alleged plot to murder them; his wife, Ah-tungah-nak-soah; his daughter, Ah-we-ah; Kes-suh, one of the brightest men in the tribe, with his 9-year-old son, Mee-ni; and a young man of about 22 or 23, Weeshak-up-si. Nooktah is the father and Ahweah the sister of the Eskimo girl who came home with Mrs. Peary in 1894. Mr.
Peary himself came over from Boston by land, last night, and when shown to-day the "cannibal" yarn of the morning papers, remarked: "No, it is not true; it is nothing more than a foolish story, made, I suppose with the intention of getting notoriety from it. I am not surprised at it, as I have found that sailors when they return to port. feel like making some sensation out of nothing. No bones, or any parts of a human body, were found under the snow at the deserted camp, which has not been visited since 1883. I searched for none and found none.
All I found was a lot of relics of the different articles used by Greely and a case of medical instruments. When we discovered the place everything was under eighteen inches of snow. This we cleared away sufficiently to get a complete idea of the nature of the surroundings. While we were doing this the relics we have were found, but none others. One thing I will say, was that if I expected anything important to be found, it was the records of the expedition, but I found no trace of them." AWARDS MADE.

LOOKS LIKE LOW. Many Signs Point to His Ultimate Endorsement. PLATT MUST HAVE VICTORY. SO SAYS A REPUBLICAN POLITICIAN TO-DAY-GEN. TRACY WILL NOT DENY THAT HE MAY WITHDRAW -EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE OF THE CITS MET LAST EVENING- FITCH NOT MENTIONED.
New York, Sept. a man claiming to be a Republican, at Republican Headquarters, to a Standard Union reporter this morning: "Out of the political turmoil over here one great fact is becoming every day more apparent, and that is, in brief, that Platt is about to swing over in of Low, and that Gen. Tracy flavor draw unconditionally in favor of his rival, as he did in Brooklyn. "The chief cause of this 'is that Mr. Low's future does not depend upon the result of the coming election, while Mr.
Platt's does. So, although there will be many compromises proposed and ultimatums issued, nothing short of a miracle will prevent Seth Low from being the Republican standard bearer. "The facts in the present problem are as follows: "Low will be in the race till the end. Neither his purse nor his position in the community would be changed by defeat. He says he will make no deal.
"Low will not attempt to see Gen. Tracy. "Chairman Reynolds says the Executive Committee would not allow Low to make a joint withdrawal. "Low is a Republican. "Platt must be successful to hold his wonderful grip on the party in the' State.
"Gen. Tracy will make a plain statement, such as Low's, that he will not withdraw. "Tammany Hall shows such confidence that Platt realizes a combination must be made. "Ergo--if Mahomet won't come to the mountain, the mountain will go to Mahomet." And, strange to say, these revolutionary sentiments were echoed by several men, presumably Republicans, who were within earshot Quigg of was the not at speaker. Republican Headquarters this morning, Sheehan was not at Democratic Headquarters, so sla ing languished; only at the Citizens' Union was there any activity.
Gen. Tracy was not at club or his Chairman Reynolds, of the Citizens' Union, said that nothing was cussed at the meeting of the Executive Committee yesterday beyond means of preparing Low's was not mentioned for endorsement as nomination papers. He said that Fitch a Controller: "I regard the action of the Republican said Mr. Reynolds, "as a monumental mistake. They should have endorsed Low when they had a good chance.
Now you can be sure Mr. Low will fight. Every day we are receiving scores of letters from Republicans, who state that their Low backbone has been stiffened by Boss Platt's stand. The Low vote will be an immense one." A Citizens'. Union delegation from Long Island City to-day called at headquarters and announced that three branches would be opened in Long Island City and a vigorous Low campaign begun.

In an impassioned speech, Father Ignatius declared that the school represented in the present Congress by the Dean of Ripon and the Archdeacon of Manchester was treating creeds as illustions, denying, Christ and taking away God. Thus, he continued, was the very "raison d'etre" of missionary work destroyed, and, he explained, "we are on the of a great apostacy." The speaker things, Interrupted, and several times he warmly cheered, JUDICIARY.

Both conventions were held in the County Court House, the machine Democrats meeting in Rome 20, while the Shepardites were located just across the hall in Room 19. Several of the National Democratic delegates from outside counties strayed into the room where the machine men were assembled and persisted in handing up their credentials, until Arthur C. Salmon, who called the convention to order, was obliged to announce: "This is the regular Democratic Judiciary Convention and not the annex." At 12:35 Mr.
Salmon called the convention of the regulars to order, Irving Brown, of Rockland County, acting as temporary secretary. The counties included in the Second Judicial District are nine in number, Kings, Queens, Suffolk, Westchester, Richmond, Orange, Dutchess, Rockland and Putnam.

Brown, of Rockland, and Bandray, of Westchester, were chosen as secretaries. Nominations being declared in order, William J. Carr, of Kings, nominated Justice Bartlett. Mr. Carr said in part: "Ag Democrats we know too well our duty to this community to present as the successor of Justice Bartlett, any man cther than Willard Bartlett himself.
His name suggests his own eulogy. We all can bear witness to his character as a Judge, whose honesty of purpose, untiring industry, unflinching courage, keen perception and uprighteousness are known to all. In recognition of the proved equality of the man to the requirements of the office, in gratitude for his public service, in behalf of the bar and the people of this community, I present to you the name of Willard Bartlett, of Kings County. Judge Reed, of Suffolk County, seconded the nomination, claiming that Justice Bartlett, Watts, was a one Suffolk of the County delegates man. from Orange County, placed in nomination William F.
O'Neil, of that county. Mr. Watts urged his selection chiefly on the ground that he had supported worked nard for the national ticket and piatform last year. James D. Bell, who made a vigorous speech, seconding Justice Bartlett's nomination, was applauded when he declared: "Mr.
O'Neil deserves, well of the party for standing being counted last year when SO many others abandoned their party and ran away." After John S. Cosgrove, of Orange, had seconded Mr. O'Neil's nomination, the roll was called, Justice Bartlett receiving all but two votes. Before the result was announced, Mr. Watts moved to make the nomination unanimous, and this was done.
On motion of James D. Bell, a committee of five, consisting of Messrs. Bell. Lynch, Stephen, Larkin and Reed. was appointed to notify the candidate of his A committee of five, of which ex-Justice John J.

Fifteen delegates, representing the counties of Kings, Queens, Richmond and Westchester, were in attendance. Howard R. Bayne, of Richmond, was elected permanent chairman, and Albert M. Fragner, secretary. Frederick W.
Hinrichs made a brief speech, placing in nomination Justice Bartlett to succeed himself. Messrs. Hubbard, Greene and Hogan seconded the nomination, and when a vote was taken Justice Bartlett was unanimously chosen. Messrs. Hinrichs, Hubbard, Greene and Hogan were appointed a committee to wait upon the nominee, and notify him of the action of the convention.
The delegates were informed that an invitation had been extended them to meet Judge Bartlett at the Clarendon Hotel.

Wheat opens steady, over last night, influenced most by the continuation of drought. Northwest receipts, 825 cars, are a little under last year's 837 cars. Provisions are quiet, opening about where they closed last night, and holding within a narrow range. There is a good deal of changing and a little October liquidation. Trade very unimportant so far.
