ITT y FROST WITRERS BRODSKY BOOM » Former Follower of O’Brien ‘in “De Ate” Gets a Cheerless \ Welcome Among. the Tam- ‘ many Voters In Harlem. j NOW HE IS BLAMED FOR DEFEAT OF O'CONNELL. Moved Uptown After the Old ~ O’Brien Following Had Been Scattered, but Fails in Latest Political Effort. ’’ ‘The saddest thing ‘twixt now and doom Is the dead and gone and busted boom. —Baliads of the Primaries, The attempt of John E. Brodsky to wreak into Harlem politics as a Tam- many leader by proxy, and the disae- trous result, is a matter of history. But | the unkindest’ cut of all is the excuse ‘that is ogered by the friends of Daniel J. O'Connell for his defeat at the pri- maries—that it was because the people didn’t like his manager. “Johnny” Brodsky was one of the high-valued leutenapts of the late John J. O'Brien, of the old Highth District: ‘He was associated with the late ‘Bar- ney” Rourke, Martin Engel, the late “Silver Dollar’ Smith and Etienne Beyer, under O'Brien, the Republican leader of the district. This coterie had such complete control of “de Ate” that | In the Presidential-Gubernatorial elec- tion of 1888 they delivered the district to David B. Hill for Governor by 1,500, while Harrison and Morton received 8,000 majority there the same day. O'Brien died, and when a Tammany Board of Aldermen reapportioned the Assembly districts two years aft@ward | “de Ate” was cut up into six pleces and fistributed among six new districts so ts to scatter the voters the O'Brienites had been able to completely control and feliver like so many sheep for the slaughter.

WANT NO CLEMENCY Eleven of the Twelve Jurymen Who Convicted Van Wormer Boys of Murder Send Petition to Gov. Odell. FEELING STRONG IN THEIR HOME COUNTY. Much Dissatisfaction Expressed at the Respites That Have Already Been Granted the Prisoners by the Governor. HUDBON, N. Y., Sept. 19—Eleven of the twelve jurymen who declied that the Van Wormer boys were gullty of the murder of Peter Hallenback have signet the petition to Gov. Odell protesting against the granting of any further clemency to the convicted trio. twelfth juror ts absent fron the county, or his signature, it ts veiteved, would make what is really a protest to the Governor unanimous. The delay in the execution of the three men and the chances that they may be the objects of executive clem- ency and escape the death chair for the murmer of their uncle, has raised a storm in the community, and Goy. Odell is being neverely criticised for the stays of execution he has granted already. The Van Wormer boys have been noted through this section of the coun- try as bad citizens, and all classes of residents feel that the better thing for the Governor to do would be to let the law take its course. The murder was a particularly cold-blooded one. They waited unt]! the old farmer was alone, and then went to the house and killed him, While the Van Wormers have been spoken of as boys they are men. The youngest 1s of voting age and the eldest is twenty-nine years old. So deep is the feeling against the Van Wormers that five of the jurors went from the'r homes in remote parts of Columbian County to Albany, paying thelr own expanses, to protest to the Governor against the proposed plan of having him comnmmate the death sentences imprisonment. Mites bid sloosed Van Wormer boys bave mad has added to the feeling aguinst them.
