TnEODOnn Roosevelt, who onco pro claimed himself an independent, has degon ernted into a partisan of tho partisans.

The plain fact of tho matter is, that the Prohibitionists, and the Geobok men as well, have nothing to fear in n comparison on tho soore of honesty with elthor of the old par ties. The new organizations are fighting dis tinctively for what they conooivo to bo im portant moral and reformatory ideas. They may be mistaken in their thoorles, but their honesty cannot be questioned.

London, Oct. 17. Mr. Blaine has now been in Paris for two weeks, and many of his friends who have soon him thoro, as well as many who met him in Gormony, Aus tria ond Switzerland, havo lately pnssod through London en route to America. There is something strango in tho fct that oil of these friends have gained tho impression that Mr. Blalno does not desire to bo nomi nated for tho Presidency next year. Some of them, indoed, put it that he does not intend to bo a candidate. If asked, how ever, whethor they speak nuthnritlvcly, these gontlcmon invariably say " no" t but still give their impression with groat confidence. Whon asked, as many of thorn had boon, whether this assumed intention of Mr. Blaine's originates from consideration of his health, they answer that such consideration is Impossible, for Mr. Blaino is in hotter health and looks gayor than ho hns for ten ycors. Nor do thoy infor that Mr. Blatno's position is btfsed upon any discouragement in tho political situation. It is woll known by all who have talked with him that Mr. Blaino regards tho prospect of Republican success iu 1888 as infinitely bettor than it appeared in 1884, when the dofcat was so narrow. I state these foots without coloring or with out Bptoulatlon thereon, furthorMhan to say that such conclusions may bo taken with can. tion so long as Mr. Blaino authorizes no pub lio statement. But tho fact remains, that all of Mr. Blaiuo's friends who have beon inEu ropo thlB summer carry homo tho impression that tho Republican candidato of 1884 will not bo in tho field next year. MRS. rOTTER AND HER GOWNB. Homo Aa-aln nllh n Lot of Them (Which Worth Would Call Dreams. Mrs. James Brown Potter came back from Europo yesterday imbued with the exoellont Idea that " notions, not words" will best suit her purposes.

Sho declined to gush about the doar publio, diu not mako a point of tho fact that she was glad to bo back in America, and, told no Btories about tho Prinoo of Wales and the English ariBtocraoy. Tho only little luxury she allowed horsolf nnd it was an exqnisltoly pardonable one was a description of the costumes which she will wear in " Mile, do Brossler." Mrs. Potter has what Worth would call sundry " di earns " in tho way of dresses, and as sho was interested in thorn herself, she rightly imagined that other peoplo would like to boar about them. Mrs. Pottor declared thnt Bite had no inten tion, whon sho wont to London, of starring in England. Sho was anxious to seouro an engagement in tho stook company of the Hay. market Theatre, for tho sako of tho experi ence it would givo her.

A Kerne of Incitement In tho Western Union Opcrutlna Itooiu. John Moffott, one of the best known and most skilful electricians in tho operating de partment of tho Western Union offloe, 1S5 Broadway, had a one-minuto encounter with a dynamo battery last Friday which he will remember as long as ho lives. Ho wrw engaged in testing ono of the loops whioh runs from tho main office, in Broad street, and had occasion to use a dynamo bat tery. Mr. Moffatt went bohlnd tho switch board to handle tho wires and another elec trician was dlrootod to put on tho dynamo. A moment later thoro was an awful yell from behind tho switchboard, pud tho SOO em ployees in tho room thought thoir day had come. Help wont quickly to tho soreamlng Mr. Moffat, who had a ground wiro in ono hand oud tho dynamo wlro in tho other and was unabloto lot go of cither. Tho second rloo triolan had connected the powerful battory boforo Mr. Moffatt was ready, aud, uslde from tho terrifio shock, he now carries around two badly burned hands, tho olootrioity having passed into ono hand, through the body and nut tho other hand, burning the flesh whoiover tho wire touched it, Had Mr. Moffat been afflicted with any cardlao trouble the shock would have killed him.

A wild man who for twenty years had lived the life of a hermit Iu the woods near Bean, iuont, Tex., was captured some months ago and brought Into town, where a little cottage was given him and every effort made to civilize him.

President French nnd Henry Gere Think the Democrats Will Buffer Most. President Stephen B. Fronoh, of tho Board of Police, is on intense partisan Republican, and nover fails to scoro a point for his politi cal friends when ho can. To an Evxnino Would roporter he said yesterdays "The Republicans will carry this State this fall as sure as my name is Frenoh. Every report rocclvcd shows that the poople are ripe for a change, and the division in the Democratic ranks ty a separate labor party will add greatly to the Republican majority." " Where do you place the Labor voto ?" , " The Labor voto in New York and Brook lyn alone will reach 100,000, in my opinion," Mr, French said exultantly, " and that will give the Republicans the State." " IIow much of tho Labor vote will come from tho Republicans ?" " Not over 15 per cent., or 15,000, as against 85,000 drawn from the Domoorats. I am not prepared to say how largo the Labor vote, will be in tho State, but it will be heavy in all tho large cities. Tho Prohibi tion vote in this State will be about 50,000 so that it is easily seen that tho bulk of tho loss will fall upon tho Demoorats. This assures the State to tho Republicans. It will bo the first gun for 1888 and means tho election of a Republican President. Who our candidate will do I am not? prepared to say but unless all signs fail James G. Blaine will bo tho man." After this bit of political wisdom, Mr. Fronoh was ready to attend to police busiuess on a strictly " non-partisan " basis. When an Evenino World reporter asked Honry Gcorgo this morning what he thought his voto would bo, Mr. Goorgo pullod out tho f250 watch voted to him at tho Anti-Poverty air, and sold that he would have to be brief, as he was in an awful hurry. " I am not a good gucsser," he continuod, "but I think tho lowest flguro for the United Labor party will he 200.000, and I boliovo it will reach 800,000. Wherover I havo spokon, I havo rooeivod the attontion of everybody, especially the farmerH. Tho peo plo are ready for n change. Tho old party lines aro down, nnd tho pooplo wont some thing now.

He will Bpoak this week at Albany, Poughkeepsio, Youkors nnd other aities. lfis debate with Mr. Shovitch will take place next Sunday evening. It has beon proposed that tho Anti-Poverty Society forego its meet ing on that night, and tho debate toko plaoo in the Academy of Muslo.

The New York EVENtNa World starts out with this declaration of honorable intentions: "Truth fulness In all things; Independence ot all parties, influences and personal Interests; fearlessness In tho exposure of abuses; sympathy with the weak and oppressed; constancy In demanding equal jus tice for all." From tho Buffalo GommortM Advorttior. The Ne' York Evenino World hu about the ami look as the morning edition and Is as toll ot news, comment snd good editing as the other.

The first issue of the New York Evenino World was made on Monday last, snd, like Its morning edition, was chock-full of news. It was a six. page sheet with seven columns to the page, and was filled with advertising. It has all tho elements about It which indicate It will be a success. There wcro 111,400 copies printed aud sold of the first Issue. I JYom A Oamrfm (JV. J".) Adoaaco Jeeroal. The New York World began the publication of an evening edition of that paper on Monday. This journal Is having a phenomenal growth and its different Issues art of Immense proportions. Tub World Is a Demoorstlo organ, yet Is fearless to attaok either friend or foe In the fight for right, Irrespective ot party. (rrom IA iHaiuafllo Jrsrwal. The !ew York World Is probably the best morn lng newspaper in America. But it is not satisfied with the morning edition snd has started an even ing paper. The World appreciates the Inconsist ency ot holding over news from one day to another when It might as well be given to tho publio the day on which It happens. We predict a larger cir culation for Tub Evbnino Wobld than for the morning hold-over. JV.m IA ShtUgollli (fed.)

Tho nrnlture and effects of on unfortunate ten ant of a rear, top floor, six-story barracks, are placed on the sidewalk and then carted to tho Corporation Yard, while a poor sow ing girl who has obtained a judgment against a dishonest and unfeeling employer will have her decreo enterod in a great big book, and her employer will hide his indebt edness behind a fraudulent assignment. If there should be any justice dispensed in this clty.it should be in these conrts.where the poorer people have to appeal for their rights and their wages. They are people who know little of the meshos of the law and who, abovo all others, need tho protection that the law gives. The justices of tho Civil District courts, therefore, should bo men who would recognize tho right in rags as against the wrong in silks or broadcloth. There are elevon of these petty but impor tant tribunals scattered throughout the city, and politics has a grip on noarly every one of them. The Justice may bo kind-hearted, an honost law-giver and may try to mete out mercy with his decrees, but the foot remains that politics is there just tho same. The lowest of politicians hang around tho court rooms to rob poor poople who come to ask forjuBtice. Clerks who owe their appoint ment to machine influence are over ready to make overcharges, whllo burly and greedy city marshals, with red faces and stony hearts, are always in a hurry to throw the household goods of a poor widow out of windows for non-payment of rent. It must bo said, however, that a few of the justices do all in thoir power to prevent subordinates from extorting blood-money from thoso who enter the portals of tho oourts. At the coming election ten civil justices aro to be chosen. Thoro will bo no oloction In the Tenth District, Twenty-thlrd and Twonty-fourth Wards, as Justice Andrew Jackson Rogers was recently elected for a term that does not oxpire for somo years. Suooessors are to be elected to Civil Justices Michael Norton, Charles M. Olanoy, George W. Porker, Alfred fitecklor, John Henry McCarthy, William H. Kelly, Ambrose Monell, Frederick G. Gedney. Henry P. McGown and Leo O. Dessar. Thoy are all candidates for renominatlon and re-elootlon, with tho possible exception of Jnstios Parker, who 1b aged and who is weary of the duties of the position There are also hosts of candidates in each of the judicial districts who aro striving for the justiceship. Lawyers with small prac tices but plenty of political influence are the most untiring in thoir efforts to be made jus tices of the couits of the poor. From the pres ent appearance of things the oivil justice ships aro to be raffled off in the harmony pro oeedingB between Tammany Hall and the County Democracy. Tho judicial districts aro for the most part the same as the Senn. torial districts. If Tammany Hall is awaided the united nomination for Senator in n dis trict the County Democracy will probably name the candidate for Civil Justice in the samo political borough, Miohael Norton Is the prcsont Justice of the First District Court, which comprises the First and Fifth Assembly districts. Ho was elected as a County Democracy man, but ho is now tho Tammany Hull leader of the Fifth Assembly District. Ho will be renominated. Frank Fltzgernld, son of the late ox-Alderman James Fitzgorald, is an aspirant for the bench. He is a law-partner of James Walsh, nenhew of Warden Tom Walsh. Tho Booond District takes in tho Second nnd Third Assembly districts, nnd Justice Charles M. Clancy, Tammany Hall, wants another term of sixyoars at $6,000 por an num. Then Warden Walsh would liko to see his nephew tako Clancy's place. Ex-Assemblyman James Oliver would accept any nom ination that ho thought would result in his being called a judge. " I am tired of being called Jimmy," says Oliver. The next Justice of the Third District Court will probably seoure his election by a deal within his party organization. George B. Deane, jr.,of the Ninth Assembly District, has beon an Assemblyman and an Alderman. Bo has his father. Now, George B. Deane, it., is slated to sucoeed Justice George W. 'arker. Both are Republicans. Tho slate is Fire Commissioner Cornelius Van Cott, of the Seventh Assembly District, for Senator in Gibbs's old hunting ground, and young Deane, of the Ninth Distriot, for Judge. The Seventh and Ninth nominate the Judge, and tho Seventh. Ninth and Thirteenth the Sen. ator. The judicial district is a Republican stronghold. Tho Fourth District is a large German dis trict, whioh six years ago elected Alfred Btookler a Justice against all machines and combinations. It includes the Tenth and Seventeenth'wards, or tho Eighth, Tenth and Fourteenth Assembly districts. Justice Steokler has no opposition for re-election, ex. cept from John J. O'Brion and Police Jus tice Jacob M. Patterson and the Republican machines behind them. The independents, various trades and workingmen's unions have nominated Justice Stockier and he is to re ceive the indorsement and union nomination from Tammany Hall and the County Democ racy. Police Justice Patterson and John J. O'Brien will probably run Henry O. Botty, a machine Republican politician and lawyer, against Stockier. Bets are being made that Stockier will have 5,000 votes to spare after the returns aro counted. Thero promises to be somo fun in the Fifth District, which is composed of the Boventh, Eleventh and Thirteenth wards. If Senator Edward F. Rellly, Tammany Hall, is renom inated the Civil Justiceship, on the union deal, will go to the County Domocracy. John Henry McCarthy, who now hands down de cisions in Clinton stroet, is not identified with either organization. Ho is likely to be shuffled out. Juror Commissioner Charles Reilly is working to nominate his son-in-law, Benjamin A. Douros, who is employed in the Distriot-Attornoy's office. Congressman Timothy J. Campbell is backing up the claims of Honry M. Goldfogle, while ex County Clerk Patrick Keenan is offering Joseph E. Neuberger as a choice. Neuber- Ser fs also a candidate for City Court. Justice lcCorthy says that he will run independent for re-eleotlon, and boasts that the Jefferson clubs of the Fourth and Sixth Assembly dis tricts will support him. The Sixth Distriot Civil Court is composed of the Eighteenth and Twenty -first wards, or Eleventh, Sixteenth and Eighteenth Assembly districts. William H.Kelly, present justice, is to receive thy) united Demooratio nomination for re-eleotion. He is a member of the County Democracy and is very popular on the east side. He spends port of his salary every summer in giving excursions to the widows, their children and the worthy poor of the Eighteenth and Twenty.flrst wards, no has beep a Jnstlco for twelve .yearn and none of i4i!,iCStisiJV qaristtqalsHsWsJJqVJ his decisions havo boen reversed by the highor courts. The Republicans ore talking ot nominating nenry Kropf, who succeeded the late Michael Oregon as tho machine boss in tho Sixteenth District. Ho was oolorkin the law office of Assemblyman ErncstJrosby, son of the Rev. Howard Crosby. If Jnstloe Ambrose Monoll is not promoted to a higher court ho may stand for ro-eleo-tion. He Is a Tammany Hall adherent. His district covers a good deal of the Twontieth aud Twenty-first Assembly dlstrlots. Ex Civil Justice J. O. Julius Langbein is hunt ing for the Republican nomination, and ho has the idea that ho can win if a Labor can didate should got into tho race. Ex-Senator Frederick S. Gibbs and his friends havo declared war against Civil Justice Frederick G. Gednqy in tho Eighth District. They say that if Godney is rcnom inatod they will use scalping knives on eleo tion day. Tho antl-Gibbs Republicans vow by reform and dude politics that they will slaughter any nominee brought to tho front by the wicked ex-Senator. This protty fomlly quorrel in tho G. O. P. has made several Democrats hankor after tho Justice ship of the Thirteenth and Fifteenth Assem bly districts. Assemblyman Mulry would take it. So would John Joralomon. The United Democratio nomination would not go a-begging. Two Democratio candidates and one Republican candidato would elect tho Republican. It is said that Tammany Hall and tho County Democracy have come to an under standing in tho Harlem judicial district. Jus tice Honry P. McGown, who has grown gray on tho bonoh, is to retire, and ex-Assemblyman Joseph F. Fallon, County Democ racy, is to secure the union prizo. Assembly, man Jacob A Cantor. Tammany Hall, is fo no nominated for Senator as suoccssor to Will iam O. Traphagen. Tho abovo combination is thought to be very likely. If Tammany Hall names tho Senator in tho Eleventh District tho County Demoqrncy will name tho candidate for Civil Justice. Leo O. Dossar. Tammany Hall, is now Justice. It is a new distriot. Justico Dessar would liko to seo the County Dcmooraoy draw the Sena torial nomination. He might then be nom inated. The admirers of Denis A. SpelllBsy are prosBing him for Justice. He is the County Democrnoy chief in the Nineteenth Assembly District, POLICEMAN 1IAHN WORN OUT. Safferlng From Nervous Prostration and Unable to Do Duty. Policeman Edward Hahn, who shot Capt. Jack Hussey and was acquitted, has not yet done duty in the Tromont procinct, to whioh he was transferred whon his shield was given back to him by the Superintendent. His work in Oapt. Robbins's precinct was to havo begun at C o'clock on Saturday even ing, but at 4.80 o'clock that afternoon Hahn walked into the station-houso and told Sergt. F. W. Martins that he was too ill to go on duty. Ho looked exhausted, and there was a suspioion of liquor about his breath accord, ing to tho Sergeant. While he lay on a bench in the rear room Police Surgeon Luoien Damainvilla was sent for. He lives at Eighty, fourth streot and the Western Boulevard, and did not reach the station-houso till noarly 7 o'olock. He oxamined Hahn and found him suffer ing from nervous prostration, caused by long continued mental Btrain. He considered him unfit for duty and the oftloar was there fore sent to his homo in East Seventy-sixth street. Dr. Damainvillo gave him a tonio and visited him yesterday and to-day. Unless tho Police Board at to-morrow's meoting ordors him to bo put to trial on the old charge of intoxication, Hahn will resume police duty on Wodnesday. JUST DROPPED INTO TOWN.
