GENERAL TRACY's TALK
About the Far Reaching Interest and Ei-
feet In the Present CampAigu.

About the FRr henchtnk interest anu hst-
feet In the Present Campaign.
NEW YORK. oct. PA great num-
ber of political mass meetings were
held throughout the Metropolitan dis
trict tonight, and the champions for
the different mayoralty candidates were
out in force Senator John w. Ford
presided at a Republican meeting held
in the Atlantic Casino, this city. at
which General Tracy was principal
speaker. He said. In pnrt:
Beyond the consequence to you as
citizens OF New York there are inter-
ests at stake which concern you as cit
izens OF the Union. 1t Is Idle to soy
TINT the result OF this election In a city
of three and n quarter millions people
more than the colonies had at the
time Of the reVolutlon--lB to have no
influence outside Of the city. 1t Is rec
ognized By all tho people outside that
the result OF this election Is bound TO
have great Influence In the national
election OF 1900,
"The Republican party was the bui.
wark, the rallying point TO which pa
triotic Democrats nocked to make Il
last stand for the honor and integrity
OF their country when II was threaten
ed by Organism last year. Organism
is not dead; the ilght against II Ia not
yet over.
They say the government Of city
IN business and not politics. This Is
truly strange doctrine. What Us poll
tics3 Politics, my friends, IL nothing
more than governmental policy. There
~ no difference between the politics
OF nation, state or q clty. There Il
% business side and political side In
the government Of nation, n state or
the city"

NEW YORK, Oct, 2a,-The word of
Col. AoN Bird Gardiner for H., Tam
many rail. whose nominee for district
Rttoracy COL, Gardiner 10, sees but one
Zoo In the field, and that foo 10 tho clti'
gons' Union, pegDonlnod by Seth Low,
the unlon's candidate for mayor OF
Greater Now York, Tho contention OF
Col. Gardiner, which Is also the eonten-
tlon of the regulars of the Republf-
can party, 10 that no man who has not
q responsible party behind him should
be entrusted with the administration OF
a clty's affairs. "our fight," said Col.
Gardiner, "is with Low, Low repre-
sents the Strong administration he
continued, and then he proceeded TO
charge the present city government
which was the outcome OF non-par-
tlsan movement, with adding slO'0OO,OOO
annually to the expenses OF the city.
ON the other hand the sponsors for the
existing city government challenge
proof that there has been dollar OF
The peoples money spent dishonesty;
assert that never were the streets so
well cleaned as in the last three years,
and clnim there has been n marked tm-
Improvement In the morals OF the police
force.
Thus the contest may be regarded aa
In some measure a struggle between
partisans and non-parttsane, the latter
being represented by the Citizens Union
and the former by the Democratic and
Republican party organizations, al
though the forces of Democracy are di-
vIded between Van Wyck and George.
Tho entrance OF the Rev. DR.. Park
hurst as a combatant Is one of the no
table Incidents OF the campaign. Dr.
Parkhurst is In Switzerland, but he hna
written n letter on the Issues OF the cant
vass. He finds himself supporting Low,
in spite OF the latter's avowed opposi-
tIon to sumptuary laws. What the cler-
gyman finds to approve most In the col
leEe president is his declaration OF
independence OF party and Individual
dlctation. To Dr. Parkhurst's think
ing, "Plattism," as he terms the Repub-
lIcan organization, Is TO be more con-
demned than "Crokerism," which repre-
sents the regular Democracy in the
municipal campaign.
II the last one Of the 561, 900 regis,
tered voters 10 not out at the polls on
November Q It will be for lack of exhort-
alton, and that OF all shades and de-
Erees of eloquence. It is doubtful II there
was ever local canvass in which men
OF more note took active parts than in
the pending campaign.
Betting continues to be feeble, and
without significance. One table, in o
paper supporting Mr.. Low. gives the
following as prevailing odds;

form, II shows how utterly lacking
they are In issues.
They claim went abroad. So did
! went because my health demanded IT,
Had not done so would not be alive
to-day. think that even my enemies
would concede TO me the right OF pTo-
teoting my health.
The Democracy Is seeking to estah-
lish government that will lower the
taxes, restore order out OF chaos In the
public streets and give more freedom
and liberty to all who wish 10 live In our
splendid city.
If Mr.. George Is such lover OF Jus
ttce as he pretends to be, the grand jury
is open 10 him now Just the same as II
would be II he were mayor.
"If have offended him by coming
home and doing my duty as a citizen
and a Democrat, | am very sorry he
takes different view of the matter than
do. SO long as shall live and have
my health, l shall continue TO do my
duty as a citizen OF this city"

CATHOLIC sOHGsMI,
The Case of Prof Schroeder. OF the Cath
ollie University, at Washington.

Ollie UniverAityi nt hashlhg'oh
WASHINGTON, D. c., Oct. 22.-The
case of Mgr. Schroeder continues to be
the absorbing topic among the distln-
gulshed Catholic prelates assembled
here to attend the annual meeting OF
archbishops. AS the Associated Press
stated yesterday. the official announce
ment OF the board of directors Of the
Catholic university, that the case was
referred 10 the pope was made with the
understanding that Mgr. Schroeder
would resign within the year. This un-
derstandlnE as to n future resignation
has given rise to another animated con-
troversy. Those who have pressed the
CHARGES against Mgr. Schroeder con-
strue the promise to resign within the
year MS equivalent to present resig-
nation. Mgr Schroeder insists, how
ever, that he has not rendered his res
lgnatlon, but IN the interest OF peace al
the university has said he would make
any personal sacrifice, and has assured
the board that "he win send my (his)
resignation" within the year II the pope
will approve this course.
Tho literal wording OF that portion OF
Mgr. sohroeder's written statement TO
the board Is as followsa
81 am ready to make that sacrifice and
will send my resignation TO his emf
nencc. the chancellor, within or az the
end OF tho scholastic year, but this res
ignation must be conditioned on the
approval of the holy father"
Another subject that has aroused
much feeling Is the published report
that Bishop Horatman, OF Cleveland,
ra NaV GaiaWaa.
der before the board, abandoned his cli-
cnt. Bishop Horstman to-day handed
the following 10 the Associated Press:

MRS. AE RE.
She Visits Jim at his Quarters
and Leaves Tonight.

ana Leaves Or1lGnt.
Yesterday mcrling when the $50
train drew up at the depot, two women
elegantly dressed alighted, and one
after the other they gave a little lurch
forward and fell into Jim Corcett's
arms. The first was his wife me other
was his sister aad they held onto the
Californian 50 long that a small boy
yelled, BREAK away" "Time' ETC., and
the kodac manipulators began to
| click their machines from all over the
! platform. The clinch was so long
that everybody got a good picture and
some got several. Jim, his private
secretary and the ladies were at once
driven out to the Hot Springs where
they will remain for a while, perhaps
until after the fight. Jim is as happy
as a boy with a new toy over the ar
rival of his wife md sister, and his
trainers say that he is in a much bet
ter humor when his wife is with him
and his confidence is at the top notch.
1t was understood by his trainers that
the arrival of the laties meant a day
off for all hands, and Delaney and
his corps of assistants improved the
opportunity to take a run to the Com
stock and visit the big bonanza mines.
They were received ty Superintendent
Lyman and with him explored the
drifts aud wiuzes of the old dividend
producer.
While Jim was showing his wife
around the Springs, Bob was at the
Examiner headquarters getting
photographed by Bushnell, in the act
of punching the nickle in the eliot
machine which registers the weight OF
a mans blow. Bob let go a right
handler which caused the indicator tc
register 700 pounds, while the past.
board phiz of Johu L. Sullivan rose
over the clock and smiled approx.
ingly. Those who saw the blow de.
livered agreed that Fitz was "all
right" and had plenty Of steam stored
away in his boilers for the 18th.
The same diversity of opinion con.
tinues to exist as to the merit Of the
two men, but as Puddi'n Head Will
con says:
Its differences Of opinion thai
make horse racin.'
Men who see Corbett's wonderful
quickness and strength combined
with his pkenominal cleverness that
he is a sure winner at odds at 2 to
but the men who bet on form which is
regarded as the only true way to be!
say that the record of Fitzsimmon:
and his short decisive fights indicate
that if he lands with either hand ant
where he wants it will decide thu
greatest contest the world has eve
seen.
Those who have noticed him sa,
that he has never been compelled t.
show what be can really do as he has
never met an antagonist that coule
call out his reserved forces.
Billy Smith arrived yesterday an,
has not decided where to train yet.
