NO SHOW FOR GEORGE, JR.
His Fathers Vote VIII Go to Van
WycL and Low.

NEW YORK, Oct. 29.-The practical poll
iticians are all said to agree that the huge
Democracy of Thomas jefferson, built up
by Henry George in three weeks, will not
be principal factor in next Tuesdays eec-
ton. 1t has been generally estimated that
he would have poled more than 100000
votes if he had survived the campaign, but
these votes are probably not transferable.
Some of the leaders were to-day in favor
of throwing the influence of the organiza-
ton to Seth Low. but the campaign COM
nllttee decided not to give up the fight and
nominated young Henry George to take his
fathers place. They also issued a strong
address to the George voters, asking them
to support the substitute Young George has
none of his fathers ability as a campaigner
and organizer and is not we'll known.
The 1ammany leaders have regained their
confidence that was shaken by Henry
Georges extraordinary canvass during the
past week. They have called in their anti
George literature, silenced their anti-George

leaders here said all along that there was
no straight-out Republicans in the George
ranks, they probably expect nothing.
Henry George was to have broken his own
record by speaking to six monster rallies
Tonight These meetings were not held
The German-Americans held a crowded
meeting in Cooper Union, and Bourke Cock
ran spoke for the Republican ticket I'm the
Grand Central Palace. In both meetings
the speakers referred feelingly to the death
of Mr. George.
County Clerk Jacob Worth. for many
years Republican leader of Kings county,
made public tonight q letter In which he
dec.ares himself unequivocally In favor of
Seth Low. Following Is the text of the
letter dated to-day and addressed TO Mr..
Low:

LOGAN. o., Oct. 2s.-'I have just re-
ceived dispatch announcing the death of
Henry George" said w. j. Bryan this
morning THE suddenness with which the
summons came VIII make more keen the
sorrow which the public generally will feel
at the death of so great, so pure and SO
brave man. By his own unaided genius
he made his name familiar to the reading
public of the world around. Those who
agreed with his theories found In him an
ideal leader, while those who opposed him
admitted his ability and moral courage. He
was one of the foremost thinkers of the
world. His death will prove loss to lit
erature, society and politics."

Ex-Governor AIfgoId.

INDIANA MINERAL SPRINGS, Ind.
Oct. Eek Governor John P. AItgeld, who
is taking the magno-mud baths at this
place, expressed himself as follows regard
ing the death OF Henry George: Henry
George was one of the great men of the
age and he made deeper impression on
the economic thought Of this country than
any other man. He was true and patriotic
and always on the side of justice and strug-
Cling humanity. His fame will grow broad
er with time. Nationally no one knows how
1t will affect the Democratic party"

said: Mr.. George was indeed the friend of
the Worklngman, honest, capable and con-
scientous. His sudden death will COM
pletely change the complexion of the politi-
cal situation The vote which would have
been cast for Mr.. George next Tuesday will
now be split up, and as most of Mr.. Georges
followers were working men, | fully be-
lieve that @ per cent. OF them VIII now
come over to me-"
Richard Croker said: Nothing has given
me greater sorrow during my political life
than the death of Henry George. I believe
he has been falling man for some time,
and 1 am sorry his friends permitted him
to go into this canvass. His family has my
most earnest sympathy / never met Henry
George, and did not even know him Dy
sight. Please say for me that l am sorry
from the bottom of my heart.
Mr.. Croker declined to express an opinion
as to what would be the effect politically
Of Mr.. Georges death. Mr.. Croker sent a
special message to Mrs. George, saying;
''Allow me to express my deepest sympathy
for you in your great bereavement"
John C. Sheehan said; mr. George was
too weak physically to be put up as can
didate, and the strain of the campaign was
too great for him. l think that the great
majority of the men who were following
him will vote the Van Wyck ticket" Mr..

CINCINNATI, Oct. Ex-senator Hanna,
before leaving for Cleveland. to-day said,
concerning the death Of Henry George: 1T
is a shock to the country. Henry George
was an honest man; man Of strong con-
viction. But as far as his usefulness was
concerned it was neutralzed by his one
idea. Had he been broader in his views he
would have been a great benefactor of his
country. But he was no demagogue.
George was winning many votes from Tam
many"
