Invites Republicans TO Smash Their FartS

iand-Do You Want ANY More CieVeianaf
The Republican campaigners expect every TO
publican in Greater New York to do his duty TO-
day. There isn't a Republican In Greater Nc"
York who isn't aware that the solid Republican
vote will elect Gen. Tracy. There ism one OF
these Republicans who does not know, II he
stops to think, that Seth Low was defeated from
the moment he and his free-trade Democratic
campaigners refused to consult with the Repub-
lican party. Mayor Strong has said a dozen
times that Seth Low was defeated from tnat
very hour. There isn't one OF Seth LOWS CAM
paigncrs who has even minated that no can DO
elected. Tho Republican candidate Ia don.
Tracy. on whose character not a blemish rests.
Seth Low has attempted to divide tho fepuo-
lican party. This has been his policy as die
tated to him by the Copperheads and free-trads
Democrats who surround him.
Gen. Tracy stands solidly on the platform OF
tho st. Louis Convention Of 1896. which de-
mnnds the maintenance of sound money and
good government In the city, State. and nation.
Gen. Tracy has conducted a dignined and hon.
orablc~ campaign. Every friend he ever had 10
proud of him. He has conducted himself like .
statesman and q gentleman. BE is the repre-
sentative of sound principles. He has been q
Republican from his youth up. He was a gallant
Republican Union General. His sturdy charac-
ter needs no euloPy. The slanderous attacks on
him by Seth Low and the Copperheads and FREQ
trade Democrats who surround Mr.. Low have
been . disgraceful feature OF the canvass.
Every Republican who has been misguided
into believing that the present contest is not OF
a national character will find himself utterly
mistaken. This campaign is the opening battle
for tho national fight in 1900. Seth Low and
his campaigners have engaged In q con.
spiracy against the Republican party in
Greater New York, in New York State
and in tho United States. This con-
spiracy was Matched by the free-trade Demo
Gratis who surrounded Grover Cleveland from
1884. These free.trade Democrats, having
come to believe that there was no further
future in public life for Grover Cleveland,
turned to Seth Low, who resigned from the
Republican party in 1888 to vote for Cleveland
in that campaign, as well as In the campaign OF
1892. Seth Low has believed for eight years
that no Is the natural heir of Grover Cleveland.
. The disappointed Republican Office seekers and
; the defeated Republican candidates for office
: have known that there was no future for them
in the Republican party Of New York State
' They have therefore turned to Seth Low in the
i. hope that something will como out of it fol
them.
uSeth Low should get a substantial vote to-da!
- it is his purpose as well as the purpose of thos'
who surround him to nominate q State tickle
: next year. This will certainly be done unless
tho regular Republican organization of tho Stat,
q can DO dubbed into accepting some of Sell
n Lows friends as candidatet for State officers
= That can mover be done. The Republican lead
es will not be threatened.
2 The Low movement was organized for n
other purpose than to defeat the Republican
70 party in tho state. THE SUN has indubitabl
evidence that campaigners in the Low cor
4 spiracy have declared: "We will smash tn
n Republican party" These men have threat
ened this for no other reason than that the Re
- publican leaders have refused to bow tho kne
to them. Tho Low conspirators are engaged il
a a movement which, if not smashed. will send
"a Democrat to tho United States Senate to sue
g coed Edward Murphy, Jr., of Troy; will elect
Democratic Governor and a full set of Demo
" cratic State officers. and will eventually
in 1900. turn over New York State +
the Democratic Presidential candidate. MI
a Low Is tho candidate Of four Democratic ma
Q chines-the Ship Democracy, the CARGO Democ
racy. the Steckler Democracy. and the Purro
Democracy. Mr.. Low refused absolutely to cor
fer with the Republican party. and yet he ha
made deals and dickers with these four Demo
cratic machines. Moreover, he is hand an
n glove with Tammany Hall.
J Herewith Is printed again the ballot Of tn
Ship Democracy, which was swallowed by Tan
many. Supreme Court Justice Alton B.. Parker
J. who was nominated by the Democratic Stat
Committee for Chief Judge of tho Court c
Appeals, heads the Ship Democracy's ticke
o Justice Parker has openly declared that h
" voted for Mr.. Bryan last year. Beneath Justic
Parker's name is that OF Seth Low for Mayo,
y. and in tho regular order comes tho remainder {

President of the Council. Directly beneath th
