Henry Georges union ticket was completed
Yesterday in q way that brought forth bowls OF
,lcrision and anger from the majority or
those who had had anything TO do with
securing his nomination for Mayor. The
Hon. Tom l.. johnson OF tho Nassau
Railroad Company. after n conference
with James Il. Roy nolds of tho Citizens Union.
which lasted for the greater part Of yesterday
afternoon. made q deal with tho Cts. con-
sidcration not specified. As the result OF
this deal the George people indorse
the entire ticket of tho Citizens Union
IN the horoughs OF Manhattan and tho
Bronx, with tho exception OF city offices. by
another combination. made by Mr.. johnson. tho
George outdt indorses tho cntiro Mclaughlin
Democratic ticket in the borough Of Kings. with
the exception OF the candidates FOR city offices.
When the dicker was announced at Henry
Georges headquarters at tho Union Square
Hotel all sorts OF unpleasant things were said
about Tom johnson. Tho Democratic Alliance
men, they said, had been betrayed by a poll
tician from Ohio, who. under the mask
of friendship for Henry George, undertook the
management of his campaign for tho sole pur-
rosc OF extending his own surface railroad lines
IN the city OF Brooklyn and acquiring new fran
chises on Manhattan Island. They said that
the deal with Mr.. Reynolds shows that from
Citizens Union Aldermen and Councilmen
the Metropolitan Traction Company and the
Third avenue railroad need expect no favors,
since whatever franchises may be given out
for the next few years have been pledged
beforehand to Mr.. johnson. They said
that the deal with the Mclaughlin outfit in
Brooklyn was simply made to make the Nassau
Railroad Company's grip on the streets of
Brooklyn frmer than 1t already is. They said
that Mr.. johnson has endeavored to shove down
their threats candidates for office who we're UNI
alterably opposed to Bryan in the last campaign,
either voting the Republican ticket or voting
with the gold Democrats. Moses Oppenheimer.
one OF the leaders OF the Democratic Alliance,
said:
