there is none in their camp. HENRY GEORGE
himself and all his followers look upon his
election as n certainty. SETH Low ploughed
the ground and sowed the seed, and HENRY
GEORGE expects to reap the crop.
Nor can 1t be denied that GEORGE has
much reason for his confidence, too much
for the comfort of conservative men who
are informed as to the facts of the political
situation. Tammany's zeal and fire of en-.
thusiasm has gone over to GEORGE, who will
conduct a red hot Bryanitc campaign, which
will be exactly to the liking of the great
mass of the Tammany hosts. SETH Low
will help him along so far as he can by at.
tempting to divide the enemy.
That is the situation as it actually is,
and any man who docs not see it Is too far
up in the clouds Of his dclusions to see ter.
~restrial affairs as they are. The larger the
Low vote, the more probable will be the
election Of HENRY GEORGE as the first
Mayor Of the Greater New York and there
is no way of preventing hat catastrophe
except by the concentration of the conscrva-
tive vote on Gen. TRACY. That Is an un.
avoidablc necessity, and even the fools will
be compelled to recognize it eventually.

When Henry George Ran Before.

HENRY GEORGE when a candidate for
Mayor of New York in 1885, polled
BS,110 votes. In 1885 there were no off,
cial ballots distributed impartially to all
voters with the names of all candidates
upon them, as is the case under the present
ballot law. The tickets eleven years ago
were distributed at the polls by volunteers.
In some election districts there were no
volunteers; in many election districts there
were no George ballots.
In 1856 the total vote of all candidates
for Mayor of New York was 219.67e. Mr..
GEORGE polled approximately 80 per cent.
of the total vote. The voting population of
New York, the present city, has increased
since then. The total vote of New York
city at last years election was 312, 600.
Thirty per cent. of the present vote of New
York city is not IS, 700, but 5000.
On the night of Tuesday, Nov. 2, 1885
election day, 1897, by what may seem to
some a coincidence, falls on Nov. 2-Mr.
GEORGE, speaking to his followers at his
headquarters in Eighth street, said:
"You know. you men know-you men who have
worked night after night without a penny. you men
who have stood by the polls all day without a cent
you know under what disadv antases this struggle
has been made"
Money for campaign expenses, necessary
for an independent candidate under the
former system Of voting, is not necessary
now. While the opposite of G%eorgeism,
the St. Louis platform, is assailed by the
Citizens Union traitors within the Repub-
lican organization, the friends and sup
porters of HENRY GEORGE cannot be thought
of lightly then they persist in declaring
that HENRY GEORGE is to be elected. So
much the harder must conservative citizens
work for TRACY.

Call or Your Lightweightsi

A few words to the responsible chiefs Of
certain great Republican newspapers out
side OF New York:
The need of a touch of the master hand is
apparent in such great metropolitan jour
nails as the Philadelphia Press and the
Chicago Tribune, and in such other jour
nails of the second class in Importance as
the Boston Daily advertiser and the Hart
ford Courant. 1t is not conceivable that
Republican editors like CHARLES EMORY
SMITH and JOSEPH MEDIIL and WILLIAM
Z. BARRETT would knowingly and deliber-
ately lend their aid to the enemy against
which they were c~ontending so valiantly in
unison only twelve months ago. Nor is it
conceivable that they desire to promote the
cause Of Organism in New York, or to de-
stroy or cripple the organization which
represents in this particular field all that
they themselves represent in their respec-
tive regions.
Suppose the scene of the present struggle
for the maintenance Of what was won in
1896, and what must be preserved in 1895
and in 1900, were suddenly transferred to
Philadelphia. Would the editor Of the
Philadelphia Press tolerate in the columns
Of his sturdy journal any Mugwumpish
view Of partisan obligationsi
Suppose tho battle-ground were now
shifted to Chicago. Would the editor of
the Chicago Tribune model it's u]tterances

The moral certainty that a course of de-

any one of these Republican editors leads
us to assume that they nave committed the
discussion of the present situation in New

gence or of less robust Republicanism.

The call made upon the Latter Day
Saints by tho aged President Of their Church,
MILFORD WOODRUFF, to get together in poll.
tics. has created some commotion In Utah.
In his sermon at the semi.annual conference,
Just held at Salt Lake City, he told his followers
that they must put aside Democracy and Repub
licanism and vote for both State and county
officers as the interests of the Church required.
This is said to be the first open and authorita.
tive utterance Of the kind made for IA long time.
and 1t Is thought TO be for the special purpose Of
procuring the election Of a Mormon as Mayor.
or course. the GENTLE Indignation, excited by
this uttcrance, is based on its apparent breaking
of the understanding that, after the admission
OF Utah as n State. there should be no attempt
to mako Mormons vote as a body under Church
direction. But President WOODRUFF urges that,
without the voting OF Mormons as Mormons,
they will be taxed to DEATH" 1t is suspected,
however. that this forthputting Is in the inter
est or sundry ambitious Mormons, friends Of his,
who do not want such a body OF votes scattered,
q part OF them being free to go against them.
Yet the time has passed for Utah to divide
itself permanently into Gentle and non.Gentile
parties. The elder generation OF Mormons
might desire to bring back that condition Of
things. but the enterprisiug men both in and
out OF the Mormon Church who appreciate
Ctah's great future vii! not consent to have it
marred in that way. Still. the result OF Woop-
RUFFs appeal may have some effect in the com.
ing local elections OF Salt Lake City and Ogden,
and the result Will DO watched with interest.

WHERE Is THE Low yOTE TO COM
FROM?
a Calm Calculation by Experience.

To THE EDITOR OF THE SUS-Sir: We havo
In the election OF 1885 tangible facts on which
TO base an estimate of the vote for Henry George
at the election. The full voting strength OF
Tammany Hall is a matter OF demonstration,
and, AS we have said. Georges draft from IL
may be calculated with some approximation TO
accuracy. The Republican vote is also a matter
of record.
But what is to be Seth Lows vote. and where
is 1t to come from George having taken from
him his possible following OF workingmen, that
element is eliminated from the calculation. No
Tammany vote will go TO him. The Grace
Democracy, the little remnant Of tho old County
Democracy, is divi cd between Low and Tam.
many Hall. His only hope is from it. from tho
Mugwumps, and from such Republicans as he
can draw of.
All told, how Is it possible TO cipher up n Low
vote OF great proportions Before anybody
ventures any money on the Low boom we ad.

ton returns t recent years. He will find that
It shrinks wonderfully from its imaginary di.
mansions.

ment. but the Low movement is chiefly

spite of Mugwumps. That is all there is of It
in New York, except a modicum OF Philistine
folly and credulity. l..

State Troops and the Forts.

In the forthcoming November number of
the Journal Of the Military Service Insti-
tuition Gen. WISGATE shows clearly why
we cannot depend on the organized militia
to supply artillerists for the new coast de.
fences in case Of sudden attack, or upon
hastily recruited volunteers.
A certain part of each gun detachment
could undoubtedly be made up of such
men, but no mere numbers could possibly
supply forthwith the discipline, the knowl.
edge, the skill, and the experience which
thet rained gunner possesses.
The modern rifled gun or mortar is a big
and costly weapon. which can do tremen-
dous work against an enemy. but must be
handled with precision. Even the cost of
It's ammunition is SO great that 1t is hardly
desirable for any troops to use it in
practice. except those who are intended for
professional experts. The gunner is re-
quired, says e WINGATE, in the midst
of bursting shells and the excitement of
battle, to work out a problem like this {:
"That ship is three miles off she is
approaching at such or such an angle,
her speed is fifteen miles an hour, the
forward turret Is the place to hit,
the wind is strong from 8 o'clock, the
temperature is TO- and the barometer is
3O.O6; l must therefore give SO many degrees
of elevation, and allow so many points for
windage." With a swiftly moving target,
and several shots perhaps needed to estab-
lish the range. unless high skill aud perfect
familiarity with processes are directing the
work of the gun, the vessel may slip by, and
then, so far as that gun is concerned, the
defence is a failure.
1t is clear, therefore, that the use of high
power guns against steam propelled ships
cannot be intrusted to hasty lcvies of I'M
trained volunteers or to the National Guard
II not previously made experts in handling
such guns. Even with two skilled gunners
for each gun and mortar, Gen. WINGATE
calculates that AN increase in the artillery
of $500 men is the very lowest which this
country can get along with" He thinks
that the erection of heavy gun In the
armories of the seaboard State troops,
with army instructors, supplemented by
occasional tours Of duty at the forts, with
plenty of target practice, might do much
toward fitting the National Guard for
heavy artillery work. Stlll, there is an ex-
listing need of trained gunners. With an
organization like the British Volunteer
Artillery Association gunners would be
developed, but this would take a long time,
and he sees no sentiment in its favor among
the National Guard.
Another objection made by Gen. WIN
GATE to relying on the military organiza-
tions for heavy artillery work is that the
well.trained men among them would be
looking for commissions in case of u great
war, leaving only a smallnumber, and they

the least skilled, In the ranks. Again, q
largo part Of the organized militia is too
far from the ports to go to them for in.
struction. Then the cost of practice with
the guns would be great, as has been said,
although this could be lessened by the use
of auxiliary barrels Of small calibrc.
A much better use of the militia as artil.
lery, in Gen. WINGATE's opinion, would be
to accustom 1t to handling field pieces.
With 81, 600. 900 a year additional devoted
to increasing the numbers of the seacoast
artillery, 100000 to increasing those Of
the infantry, and 100000 to supplying
the National Guard with field pieces and
their ammunition, he thinks our needs
would be well met. At all events, the ar
tillcry should have men enough to take
care of the heavy guns in peace and direct
their working in war.
