Joe Herndon, one of the Reading Clubs

'Long was the first man to go down in his
pocket to help out Norfolk, whom the
Southern team was about to give up. He
conld easily do this, as he had only few
days before refused to pay the club their

tion for mayor, and approved of a let
ter of notification to be forwarded to
him at North East Harbor, Me-, where
he is spending his vacation. which let
ter had been prepared in advance. The
borough committees represent the
Citizens unions of all the boroughs en-
braced within the territory of what,
after Jan. 1, 1898, will be the city of
New York.
The conference which sent a deputa-
tion to the Citizens union was held
at the Astor House. 1t was in session
behind closed doors for two hours, and
when it adjourned Chairman Qugg, Of
the Republican county committee, told
the reporters thai 1.-THE Republican or
ganization will proceed in it's regular
course"
The position of the Republican or
ganization has been, and is, that It
will not place itself in a position to
accept the dictation of any association
as'to whom 1t shall support for the
office of mayor, and its chairman,
- Congressman Quigg has repeatedly as
serted that the nomination of Mr.
Low by the Citizens union would drive
for candidate elsewhere.
A special messenger left this city late
last night for North East Harbor, Me-,
with the letter Of the Citizens union
notifying Mr.. Low of his nomination.
All the members of the Citizens union
seen today insisted that the action of
the borough committees was a nomi-
nation Of Seth Low. no matter what
the wording Of the resolution was.
Seth Low is one Of the foremost edu-
Gators of America, and Is president Of
the Columbia university, where his d.
rection of affairs has been notably sue.
cessful, and in parity with his exalted
reputation for executive ability, fully
shown when he was elected mayor OF
Brooklyn in 1881 and reelected in 1888.
He is Republican In politics. but Is
thoroughly independent and does not
believe in strict partisan control nor in
the spoils system, or the creation and
maintenance Of offices for the benefit
of ward workers or personal or poiti-
cal henchmen and favorites. Among
the reforms he instituted in Brooklyn
was the system of competitive exami-
nations for appointments and promo
tion for merit. He founded the admir-
able Brooklyn board of charities, and
was its first president. Mr.. Low was
offered the nomination for governor of
New York in 1888, but he declined 1t
because the Chicago platform did not
please him, and he was the chief COM
petitor to Colonel Strong when the lat
ter was nominated as the reform mayor
of New York.
Seth Low was born in Brooklyn in
1850, and is a graduate of Columbia
college. He is the richest college presl.
dent in the world, and last year he
started the pedagogues by presenting
to his alma mater the sum of 81 900. 0jo
for the establishment of library. His
paternal grandfather was the first
mayor of Brooklyn.
