REPUBLICANS FIRM.
Statement Issued by ThOs. C. Platt ON
Georges Death.

statement Issued by ThOs. C. Platt ON
Georges Death.
From the republican camp the following
was issued today by Thomas c. Platt:
Gen. Tracy will not lose a single republic
can vote as the result of Mr.. Georges
death. The republican party will poll its
strength with substantial entirety for Gen.
Tracy and nothing could and can affect
that fact Republicans recognize the Low
movement as democratic conspiracy. They
see in Low an attempt to revive Cleveland
ism and to betray the republican party by
another of those characteristic tricks of the
Clevels nd democracy. 1t is an old and well
understood thing. In every political crisis
during the last twelve years the Cleveland
democracy has undertaken to divide the re-
ublican forces by withdrawing from the
republican candidates the support OF repub-
ncan voters upon dishonest pretenSe OF
reform purposes. In the existing situation
Low stands for Cleveland and for the
Cleveland methods and maneuvers.
But republicans understand this game
They remember its consequence to the pub
lie and to the republican party in former
Periods Attempts to stampede them now
excite only their indignant disgust They
will support their party, their party's test
ed principles and their party's unconauer-
able candidate.
IF the George party splits up, the social
ist-democratic element may be carried by
Johnson TO Low. Low is something of a
socialist himself. or rather he is SO much
OF demagogue. that, as he says, he is will
ing to stand on any platform that will fetch
MIN a handful of votes. This will affect
Gen. Tracy's chances in so far as il affects
them at all. favorably- That is to saw. il
defects to Low another little bunch of dem
ocratic votes that otherwise might Ro tn
Tammany Hall. But the bulk of the gem
uine labor vote which was attached to
George Will come to the republican party
Indeed. even II George had lived an enor-
nous labor vote was coming to Tracy In
the present condition IT will come with in
creased numbers and increased earnestpess
The working people appreciate what the re-
publican party has done for Them not only
at Washington by restoring prosperity but
at Albany by protecting them and encour-
aging the development of their organiza-
tons Tammany cannot get this vote 1t
has become estranged from Tammany Hall
and In this election II is supporting Tracy
and will cow support him more vigorously
than ever OF all the candidates in the
field. the republican candidate has much the
best OF It,"
