THE GEon6.n mlsS JOYFUL.
Happy Over the Stand Taken by Mr.
Bryan's Newspaper Organ.


Bryan's Newspaper Organ.
New York, Oct. 2S-The George men
were joyful today when they learned that
the Omaha World Herald, Mr. Bryan's
newspaper organ, had come out and advU-
Gated their cause. The feeling at head
quarters was that il was as plain an APP
prevail OF their course as Mr.. Bryan could
make it, considering the situation.
The arrival OF Carter Harrison and the
Cook county delegation was q source OF
genuine amusement to Mr.. George, and
he laughed heartily when he read the
names of Hnkey Dink Kenna and Cooney
the Fox, the shining lights of the push"
We'll, l hope they viii give Hinkey Dink
warm reception, as they are likely TO
get the dinkey dink on election day" said
Mr. George. Then, growing serious, he
said
Garter Harrisons coming here with
lot OF Chicago toughs will not take a
vote from me, and VIII only injure Tam
many. We have got Croker on the run,
and he VIII be kept a-running until he
runs out of power. l think he had better
get ready to go back To England
wonder If he viii show Van Wyck TO
the Chicago delegation. I'm beginning TO
believe that there's no such candidate.
Who is he? Where Is he? Has anybody
seen him? He must be In an awful state
If he can't show himself. | should like
very much to be at Tammany Hall to-
night, 50 that l could see him, if there's
such man. Croker says he's no boss,
but he seems to have kept his man under
cover 50 far. Why, it's ridiculous to think
that this Harrison will have any effect
On the campaign, and L think it VIII end
In laughter"
MI. George, what do you base your
assertion on that You viii be elected?"
why, there VIII be a landslide. I can
see it coming in the throngs OF citizens who
have come out to hear me. If it does
come, | win get the benefit OF it. Seth
Low viii not, He has nothing but few
gold bug Democrats and discontented Re
pnblicans behind him. AS far as Iny

ers To vote for him If I wanted to. 1t
would be the height of folly for me To
attempt it,"
What would be your first policy a.

what about the investigate Croker?''
he was asked.
THAT would Come quick enough He
might take a steamer, but if | have the

earth. The people who are coerced now
would lose their fear then, and have
something To telI.''
Congressman Handy, OF Delaware, wrote
today, Offering his services as a sysea ker,
and a letter was received from Alexander
Troup, chairman Of the Democratic State
committee of Connecticut, and national
committeeman from that State, express

Da ytDn.
The German American Democracy Of
Thomas Jefferson, which VIII hold the
final meeting Of the campaign in Cooper
Union, got out a statement today, saying
Henry George is the only one OF the
candidates now in the field who comes
squarely ont upon the excise question.
He says, among other things: I do not
