CAMPAIGN PICKET SHOTS.
The contest for Mayor in New York city is
one of almost unprecedented excitement The
nomination of Henry George, the Socialist, by
the laboring men, and the enthusiasm with
which large per cent. of the labor organ
izations in the city are rallying to his support,
has given to the contest an unusual degree of
interest and uncertainty. Hon. A. 5. Hewitt,
the candidate of the united Democracy, will
undoubtedly poll heavy vote, including many
Republicans who have confidence in his ability
to give the city an honest and efficient admin
tration. Mr.. Theodore Roosevelt, the candi-
date of the Republicans is young man, but
is thoroughly identified with political reform
in its best and most practical sense. Asa men,
Der of the New York Legislature he made a
record which commends him to the voters of
the city. 1t is claimed that he will receive a
very considerable Democratic support. Mr..
George has during the past two weeks been
making very active canvass, and there is no
doubt that he will receive a large vote-how
large is the question that bothers the regular
politicians of both parties. The unusual inter-
est in the contest is shown by the fact that the
registration this year in the city has reached
the very large figaro of 23i074, which is only
5000 less than in the last Presidential cam
paign. This, for an "off year." is wholly with
ont precedent 1t is estimated that the vote
OF New York city will not be less than 100000.
A number of women endeavOred to register in
various parts of the city, but were refused.
Mr.. Blaine continued his tour through Penn
sylvania last week He was everywhere greeted
by enormous crowds and OVERLOOKING demon
STATIONS of popular enthusiasm. On Monday
he visited the coal regions 10 talk to the miners.
He will spend the latter part of the week in
Michigan.
In the Vermont Legislature the Senate gave
George L. Edmunds 20 votes for United States
Senator and w. III. Bingham one. The vote of
the House stood: Edmunds, 1879 Bingham %
Veazey, B; absent or not voting, 8.
