Harry George Bumps Up Against an
Ugly snsg.
New YORK, September 23d.-The politi-
| cal bark of Henry George. as the prospect
i've candidate of the Workingmen for
Mayor, is already menaced with breakers
ahead before it is fairly launched. His op-
ponents haveshit upon an ingenious method
| OF damaging him in the nominating Con-
| vention, which meets this week He is
| known to be radical free-trader. They
have started the cry that George is an en-
| emy to domestic industry, and in so far is
| doing effective work for the Golden Club
| in London. 1t is expected that this will
! detach from him the support of the friends
of Ireland. These allegations have been
put in cold type. If George expects to be
| the Workingmen's candidate he will have
| to answer them, or step down and out
George, as if anticipating something of this
kind, not long since gave notice that,
| though he was free-trader, he did not con-
slider that had anything to do with the
New York municipal election.
