! Lows statements:
1.-THE question which confronts the anti.Tam.
many forces is no., as Mr.. Low fancies, whether
the cause OF good government shall be sus-
| tanned by his selection or left to hopeless do
! struction. That would DO the question IL Mr..
Low wero tho only citizen among two million
who could represent and lead their moral forces.
Tho actual question Is whether the cause Of
good government Ia, rs a matter of fact, rep
resented in tho now notion OF non-partisan-
ship; and whether, even IL IL is. he and his
friends have not nlirnated. by the course they
have pursued, 20 large n support from his can
didaCy ms to make altog thcr hopeless. Mr..
Low has heretofore explained that in his opinion
the only way to get good government in New
York city is to elect him Mayor and then to let
him do as he plcascs without any other con.
straint than his own impulses, his own fancies.
and his own prcjudiccs. and, assuming this, he
says he 10 willing to tako anybody's nomination
on anybody's platform. so long as II is under.
stood that ho may pay attention only to his own.
And he adds with frank simplicity that he
doesn't see why this cant 10 done.
Tho reason why it can't be done is that the
people Of New York city wish to have something
to say about the government and how 1t shall be
brought into being. Forty.fivc thousand OF them
took the trouble to go to the polls in the 1899
election districts on Monday night and say that
they wanted n Mayor elected who would
administer tho office in accordance with
tho principles of the Republican party,
and not solely on his own impulses, his
own pleasure and for his own ambitions. Their
idea of good government differs from Mr.. Lows.
They think that the interests OF the city are
best secured through an administration which
will not only clean tho streets and light the
lamps. put in sewers. lay the pavemcnts, and
collect the taxes, and do all this honestly
