odo III CIT bdCk6TS - CQlCdSO
Party En- Route.
New York, October 27-The Citi-
zens' Union to-day issued a statement
which contained a remarkable charge
that the Republican organization has
sent out orders to its members to shout
for Tracy and vote for Van Wyck.
This report was confirmed by a prom
lnent member of Tammany, who stated
that Van Wyck expects to get about
$4,000 Republican votes. That Platt
and Tammny will stop at nothing is
also shown by the fact established by
reports from many districts of repeat
ed but Intellectual efforts made by both
machines to buy off Citizens Union
workers and local candidates and by
false statements which have been given
to the press of OBJECTIONS among dis
trict chairmen.''
Gen. Arson G. McCook made the
following statement to-day:
Ever since the great Republican
meeting last week at Carnegie hall, the
growth of the sentiment in favor of
Mr.. Low has been steadily increasing.
My original estimate, made ten DAYS
ago, that he would get at least so per
cent. of the Republican vote of New
York county, and at least go per cent.
or the same vote of Kings county. has
been changed by the improved condi-
lions. | believe to-day that it is a
conservative estimate to say that in
this county IS per cent Of the Repub-
lican vote will be cast for Mr.. Low and
20 per cent. Of the Republican vote in
the county of Kings
Seth Low invaded the Bowery to-
night, speaking to several hundred la
boring men and small shop keepers
in the ITALIA theatre He was very
warmly applauded. His speech was
brief-a plea for local self-government
and the reinforcement of Platt and
Croker. Several men prominent in
the ranks of organized labor were on
the stage and made speeches.
Mr.. Low also addressed a meeting
tonight in Teutonia Assembly rooms.
Seth Low and Mayor Strong addressed
still another big meeting in McDou-
gall hall
The betting, which continues light,
shows no material change of heart on
the part of those who put their money
on the result of Tuesdays election.
Van Wyck, Tammany Democrat, con-
tinues the favorite, with Tracy, Re-
publican, second, and Low, Citizens
Union, third. Some Republican money
is offered on even terms.
Jacob Worth, the deposed leader of
the Brooklyn Republican organization,
emerged to-day from the seclusion in
which he has been enveloped the last
fortnight, and predicted the defeat of
Gen. Tracy.
Following a long caucus of Republi-
can district leaders to-day, President
Quigg, of the Republican committee,
gave out the following statement:
The Republican organization has
carefully canyassed the vote in every
election district of every borough in
the new city Several assembly dis
tricts have been canyassed two times
and some have been canvassed three.
Each of these repeated canvasses
shows that Tracys strength is grow
ing and that Lows support, which has
fo,.
every day There are only two dis
tricts in New York City in which Mr..
Low will have any substantial Repub
lican support. These are the Twenty
seventh and Twenty-ninth. In the
Nineteenth he will not have 1000 votes,
and three-quarteFs of what he does
will be Democratic. The proportion of
Democratic votes to Republican votes
in his support holds good in the TWEEN
ty-first. the Twenty-third, the Twenty
fifth and the Thirty-first, and the
transit Harlem districts. In all those
districts, they being districts out of
which practically the whole of the Low
vote will be drawn, the net effect of
Mr.. Lows candidacy will be TO increase
the majorities Of the Republican party
over Van Wyck. Lows vote will be
smaller than Van Wyck's in each dis
trict. We shall carry New York for
Tracy by just about the plurality over
Van Wyck which was obtained by
Governor Black last year over Porter.
In Brooklyn. the situation is similar to
the situation in New York, but the pro-
portion OF Democrats to Republicans in
Lows following Will naturally be smaller
than il is here. There the proportion viii
be about half and half. The plurality for
Tracy over Van Wyck viii be greater in
Brooklyn than in New York. and is likely
TO reach 10000. Lows vote will leave the
,wo great parties as 70 comparative
strength in just about their normal eondi-
tons. but Georges vote viii 50 reduce
Van Wyck's as to give Tracy a first-rate
plurality On the conditions, as they ex-
list to-day, Low might have IN Brooklyn
as many as 3o0l1. or.to be liberal. 9 CO..
votes. But his Republican support is rap
Idly falling away from him. There are
thousands OF Republicans who have been
misled by the New York Tribune and The
New York Mail and Express into the idea
that Low has a chance Of election They
are finding out now that this idea IS pre-
posterous. and that ii IS being circulated
BY these newspapers maliciously and dis
honestly. This fact IS getting abroad
throughout the wards in Brooklyn where
