AFTER GEORGE. WHO OR WHAT?


No party in any hot political fight
in this country has been left SO alb
solutely at sea by the death of it's
leader, on the eve of an election, as
has the Henry George party in New
York. The great reason for this is
the plain fact that Henry George is
the party. There is no particular or
ganization that he represents. There
is no positive platform on which he
stands before the people. This fight
that he is putting up for the head
ship of the great municipality, is
personal fight. That is he is fighting
it on his own personal record as an
enemy of the machines and the boss
es. There is his bitterness against
Tammany and his equal bitterness
against Plat and his opposition to
every methed by which they have
sought to control the city. He re-
CARDS them alike as corruptionists.
He has denounced them politically as
guilty of fraud, and personally gull
ty of bribery and Matchmaking in
their endeavor to gain power and
wealth. He has openly declared his
intention to investigate their political
methods in case he is elected and on
this opposition he has built and con-
Quoted his canvass. His platform oppos-
es taxation and all forms of excise and
sabbattarianism, and his lance is a
free one turned against Tammany and
the Platt machine. 1t is astonishing
that thus unsupported by any or
ganization he has not only challenged
the attention of half a million voters
but has assailed Tammany in its own
stronghold and threatened to wrest the
scepter from it's grasp. He is the I'M
certain factor in this fight, or was I'M
til the rider on the pale horse laid him
low, to him it owes much of it's pic
turesqueness and from his personality
it derived much of its interest. Now
that he is dead what will become OF
the 1901 900 voters who were ranged I'M
der his banner, shouting defiance to
the intrenched hosts of Tammany and
the Plat machines? This is the ques-
ton of the hour. Will the other lead
err who has been called to command
this host of ballot leaders inspire them
with ardor, or will the host scatter
under the discontinue of their loss
totally disheartened by the death of
their great head? Upon this ques-
ton hinges the result. Had George
lived and divided the Democratic
hosts in twain the chances were grow
ing more and more favorable to Seth
Low. How it win now be who may
declare? If the situation on Thurs
day night was so uncertain and diff
cult to size up, what is it now ?

Less than twelve months ago, when Miss
Biddenback placed herself under the care
of the Abbo Institute, she was suffering
from a tumor which had formed in the
abdomen and had brought on diseased
condition of all the pelvic organs. The
case was a critical one when first encoun-
tered. While the life of the patient was
not in immediate danger, the tumor was
fast drawing her life to an end, and but
for the timely and skillful treatment re-
ceived, would have been occupying room
in a sanatarium or numbered among the
departed, instead of being happy ana
healthy. The cure of this case is due to
two means. First, tine electrical treat
ment given by Abbo, by means OF his
scientific electro therapeutical appliances,
and, secondly, skillful surgery. Miss BID
denback was aversed to an operation, con-
seauentIy she was first gAven a course of
