Henry Georges Dangerous Appeals to
the Passions of Men.
New YoRK, October 15th.-The editor Of
the Commercial Bulletin says 1t would be
one of the most remarkable incidents in
New York city politics were the Republi-
cans to forego a distinct nomination OF
their own for the Mayoralty, in order to
render absolutely certain the election of a
candidate that has been nut in the field by
the Democracy, hut it looks as if things
were really shaping that way. Prominent
members of the Union League Club have
ayowed themselves in favor of this policy
at least one of the gentlemen who have
been mentioned in connection with the
Republican candidature is Zealously urging
it. The Republican Convention assemblies
tomorrow afternoon, and the question will
be decided then. There is unquestionably
a feeling Of alarm in the public mind with
reference to the things which Henry George
is saying and threatening at the Working
mems ward meetings night after night In
his address last night before the Cooks and
Pastry Cooks Union, composed chiefly of
Frenchmen, the candidate said Wher-
ever the struggle for liberty begins, the sons
of France ought to be represented. With
all its drawbacks, and horrors, and short
comings, the great epoch of the French
revolution, now but a century gone, is about
to repeat itself here. Liberty, equality
and fraternity embody the aspirations
of every workingman in the world
to-day It remains for the workingmen to
establish a republic, but not a republic of
the millionaire and tramp. What was done
in 1875 in this country, and in France in
1889, must be done again"
