APOLOGY TO PRINCE RUSSELL.
The Chicago Herald Retreats Certain Gossip
ing Statements About His Wife.

CHICAGO, Aug. S.-The Herald makes the
following apology to Russell Harrison in
its editorial columns to-day.
Several weeks ago the Hrddld received
from source that it had reason to believe
was entirely trustworthy a letter devoted
to gossip and consideration of the ladies of
the White House and Russell Harrison.
After the publication of this article it was
discovered that it contained an intimation
that Russell Harrison had not treated his
wife as he should have done, and there was
good reason for unpleasantness between
the couple and unhappiness on her part
The HerdIdis informed and believes that the
statements of this article are without foun-
dation and untrue, and it regrets that they
gained publication through these columns
! 1t never has been the policy Of this journal
to involve women in political an.agonism
and the appearance of things to the con
trary in this case was the result OF acciden,
rather than of design"

HENRY GEORGE AS A CANDIDATE
For Mayor of New York-A Movement is on
Foot to Run Him Again.

Especial to THE HERALD Examiner Dispatch.1
NEW YORK, Aug S.-The enthusiastic
friends of Henry George are at work and a
movement is being quietly organized among
them to make him again candidate for
mayor. His admirers claim he would poll
larger vote this fall than he did in 1886.
and that the divisions and chickering's in both
the Democratic and Republican camps
would in all probability result in his cleo
ton. He polled 6S, 10 votes when he ran
before. the political conditions that pre-
vail are very similar to those that existed
in 1856. The party discussions are even
more general and wider now. True, the
United Labor party no longer exists, but
the elements that composed it are as strong
and as cohesive as ever. There is one
body avowedly hostile to George-the So
cialists At the convention which nomi-
mated him for secretary OF state in 1887, he
took occasion to denounce the doctrines of
the Socialists as antagonistic to honest
labor, and the breach then opened has
never been closed.

to do away with the army and claim that
II they get into power there will be no

an argument will work upon the cIasses
who furnish men for war and who always
live under threatening rumors Of war.
"Workingmen are also told that when
the socialists are in power they will not
have TO work so hard nor 30 long. These
arguments have won thousands and thous-
ands Of votes. The result of the election
will be that instead OF eleven members in
