REASONS FOE THE DEFEAT,
New YoRK, November BIN its editorial on the
local contest, the "Worido says.
"Ihe heavy vote for the labor candidate is some
thing more th8R a personal tribute and triumph
for Henry George. 1t testifes to the existence of
a deeply-rooted discomfort among the working
classee 1t signihes in an unnistakaOle manner
that correctable abuses remedial wrongs and re-
movable iniquites that press men down in the land
of liberty, must be attended to. The government
has too long been careless and society Indifferent
in regard to these matters. The deepyolced pro-
test contained in the $500 votes for Henry George
against the combined power of both political par
ties, of Wall street and the business interests,
of the public press, should prove warning TO the
community TO heed the demands of labor, so far
as they are just and reasonable
and that is much further than the major
ity of citizens have thus far been willing
70 admit, The persistency Of the agitation and
the elimination in this significant vote ought 10
demonstrate to the people that there Is some rea.
son for discomfort, and that these demands have
the element of justice in them
AS to the general result OF the elections, the
same paper says:
The elections contribute some lessons from
which the preside 1t may II he viii, learn wisdom.
eli nearly two years he has conducted his admin
istraton with view to strengthen himself among
the republicans His civil service policy has been
shaped more with tho idea of modifying the re-
. puhcans than of satisfying democrats. His inan-
cial policy has been a continuation of that of the
republicans, and adopted to please the "busins5s
men of Wall street, What has been the re5ulty
The lesson may he read in the losses of several
congressman to the party, and of many more to the
administration.
In the presidents own district, no democrat
would stand except one who proclaimed his hosti-
lity to the administration. In this city and Brook
lyn, nearly all the members elect, are either open
or we'll understood opponents OF the president.
The plain indications of these facts is that per-
sonal policy of conducting an administration is
NOT a success. IL tweakena the president with his
own party without strengthening him with the re-
puOlicaos.
HENRY GEORGES SPEECH.
When. late last night, it was made known at
the headauartera Of the Central Labor union, that
Henry George was defeated, the crowd then as
sembled and gave voice to expressions of disgust
Henry George came into the hall at midnight.
Mounting table he addressed his supporters,
SAVING the devotion of his supporters TO the great
cause shown and he felt certain that under fair
count of the ballots, ne would be the next mayor
of New York If the official returns do not give
me that Office, he said it is because Of money and
intimidation, and Of the rumshops and OF the
state and national administration, an unsCrupul
ous press, unreasonable fear of the ignorant, rich
and the degradation of the miserable poor. What
we sought, we accomplished by bringing princi pie
into politics and congratulate YOU outhat greatest
of Victories We have won We thank God we
have demonstrated the political power of labor
Never again will tue politicians look upon the Ia
Dor movement with contempt, You men who
7 have worked night and day without penny
know what enthusiasm has enabled us to do. II
: this Ia the begiuning what will be the end!
thank YOU from the bottom of my heart, tor | fee
prouder than if you had given me theI highes
office in the land.
