are the issues of last year. There has
been no attempt to change them, and they
are not even disguised by phroseology.
A Henry George meeting In the Brooklyn
Academy of Music tonight called forth
an audience which filled the big building
to overflowing. The principal attraction
was the appearance i'm Brooklyn of Henry
George for the first time during the cam
paign.
Mr.. George was received with tremen-
dous cheering, at the conclusion of which
he began an address that was interrupted
repeatedly by prolonged applause. He
made his customary appeal to the true
democracy" Ia the name of Thomas JEFF
ferson.

union ticket tonight and issued an ad-
dress to the people giving the reason for
so doing.

mously indorsed A. b. Parker, democrat,
for the court of appeals. The Steckler de-
mocracy has more than once polled 10000
votes and is composed principally Of Ger

The breach in the Henry George ranks
caused by the refusal of the united democ-
racy to indorse the citizens union end of
the Jeffersonlan democracy ticket, was
healed tonight In a conference between
the united democracy and the Henry
George campaign committee. Mr.. George
Will receive the full support of the united
democracy.
