New York, Nov. 2.—Upon the sol ution of whether the tail shall wag depends the result of New York’s great municipal fight. It is up to Broiolklyni—smeared at and despisied Brooklyn, that section of New York, which l as ever been and apparently ever will be the butt of the vauda ville jokes—to say who shall be the mayor of the greatest of American cities and what influences shall con trol the different branches of the city government. Tlie whole force c the fusion cam paign has been to di' art the democrat is vote of Brooklyn from the demo cratic candidate .named by the con vention in which tlie regular repre sentatives of Brook) n took part. In some degree, at least, this effort has been successful. The old time demo cratic leader ini Brooklyn, McLaugh lin, who was at one time as much a boss as Croker, oil the other side of the river as Tom Platt of Albany has listened to the 3ired song of the enemies ot his party and lias arrayed himself against the democratic nomi nees. Can he persuade any of _ the democrats fn fallow him into the Camps ot fusion? The success of Low depends entirely upon McLaughlin’,s ability to do this. The Tammany Bugaboo The republicans who are masking themselves behind fusion, have been working the Tammany bugaboo over time in Brooklyn. ‘Shall the tiger cross Die bridge?” has been the cam paign cry since the day the nomina tiolni was made and the alleged in iquities of former Tammany adminis trations —some of them very real in iquitie," have been pictured in glar ing colors for the benefit of the ver dant Brooklyuies. The wcaknes of the fusion candidate and the fusion administration, and the scandals which have developed duly the holy reign of the last two years are, of course, not mentioned. The whole fight is on Tammany; in the eyes of those critics who seek the control of the offices for themselves and their hench men, stands only for everything that is bad. There was never a political cam paign in which hypocrisy diil not play a very important, parrt. "We ac right, our opponents are all to the hart”—that, is the kerne! of tiie platform of ev ery political party and in every contest. Hut there never lias been a campaign in which hypocrisy played a more prominent part than in the one which closed witli a whirlwind finish hero tonight. With the meetings held in every part of the city tonight the active campaigning was brought to a close. Hypocrisy and vinification! If ono lialf of the charges which have been made in this oanipigtn by the cam paign orators on both sides is true, the law officers and the criminal courts of this burg have certainly been negli gent. iu their duties. There is scarcely an opprobrious epithlet in the dict ionary of the crime that lias been used upon the stump. BOTH SIDES CONFIDENT UP IN MASSACHUSETTS Boston, Noiv. 2. —The leaders and managers of both big politcial parties finished the campaign today . Both sides reiterated their confidence of victory.

The following from the Atlanta Con stitution will he of general interest here: “The railroad commission several days ago look, under consideration a number of quite important matters upon which some action may be taker soon. Among the things considered by the commission was the justice ami propriety of telegraph companies’ charges for the delivery of messages the charges being made for the dis tance after the firsrt half milo in cities of 5.000 or less inhabitants, and lance after the first half mile in cities of 10,000 or more inhabitants. The commission is considering tlie advisability of formulating and pro mulgating rules of its oiwn to govern these charges. This is part of the re cent determination of the commission to bring the telegraph ami express companies as much under its control as the raili-ocid companies are. In addition to this telegraph matter the commission heard arguments on the advisability of certain changes in demurrage rules it has formulated and now enforces. The changes may also he made in the near ufturo.” MRS. LE MOYNE PLEASED AUDIENCE AT THE GRAND. Her Production of Lady Berinthia’s Secret a Great Success. Mrs. Lc Moyne has been a favorite with lov.ers of high class comedy in this city since her first appearance in "The Greatest Thing in: the World."

In the little comedy last night, "Lady Berinthia’s Secret,” by Stanislaus Stange, the author has woven togeth er properly called a play of human hearts; it deals with the various sides human nature, treats with the social inequalities of even that early date, 159(1, and established beyond question the fact that after Ml a woman's heart and a woman's love plays tlie most im port part iu our lives. Mrs. He Moyne has surronded her self with ami unusually strong support Probably Miss Frances Stevens, as Clarissa, .shared with Mrs. He Moyne the honors of the evening. She is piquant and chic iu appearance and well adapts herself to the lovesick character assigned to her. Harry Rus sell and W. J.

Miss Berry us Lady larish, Alex Fraark, as Capt. Lovell, Capt.,Gibbs, as Prince Assam, and, ini fact, the entire support, ac quitted themselves most admirably. On the whole the production was probably the most interesting of any vet. seen here this .season, and the News is pleased to say that it was greeted with a good audience, an indi cation that Brunswicki can be depen ded on to patronise performances when they are worthy of it.
