political conditions who deprecate the i'm.
portance Of the shadow which is being cast
BY the enemies OF social order upon the
electorate. but for the same reason that the
Socialist party is growing and has grown,
the Prohibition party has decreased in
membership. The former has something
to attack; tho latter finds something
nearer at hand which requires defence,
and the chief reason why the Socialist
party, a faction of m~alcontents, has not
grown more rapidly than 1t has is because
what was formerly the Democratic party in
New York has become inoculated with
many Of the notions of which once the
Socialists had the monopoly. The Popu.
lists have absorbed the Democracy. HENRY
GEORGE is likely to carry off the great body
of the Socialist vote.

Smashing 1.-THE Machines"

proclaim their intention of voting for SETH
Low, in order. as they express 1t, to smash
both the Republican and the Democratic
political machines.
These so.called machines are the reg
ularly constituted organizations by which
the members of both parties are enabled to
act unitedly for the accomplishment Of
their purposes. The partisans Of SETH
Low have likewise created n machine of
the same character and are working IL to
the best Of their ability. 1t is quite legiti-
mate for them to desire to smash the ma
chimes that are opposed to theirs, not
because they are machines" but because
they are the machines of their opponents.
II all political organizations are to be
smashed because they are machines, the
Low machine must go in the general wreck.
Then will come the turn of the city Gov
eminent, and that of the courts of law. and
that Of the Governor and the State Legisla-
ture. After this our smashers nay urn
their hammers upon the Federal Govern
ment, the army, the navy, and all the rest

cleared. what remains Of the country can
be handed over to SETH Low and a select
committee OF the Citizens Union, to be
ruled without the intervention of the
troublesome machinery which is so often.

The Shell and tho Kernel.

I'VE may safely leave them the SHE'LL"
wrote HENRY GEORGE in his prospectus
entitled Progress and Poverty" 'if we
take the kernel. 1t is not necessary to con
flscate the land it is only necessary to con.
fiscate the rent"
Private property in land" says the same
philosopher, has no warrant in justice"
The philosopher would therefore gladly
by one stroke abolish all private titles
and declare all land public property" But
he does not think that is necessary. \

contiscation, in his authoritative opinion,

Plain and IndisputaDle Facts for Rea-
sonable Men.

1t is reported that bets on the election of
VAN WICK have been offered in Wall
street at heavy odds. A week from now,
we dare predict, there will be no genuine
offers of that kind.
When HENRY GEORGE ran for Mayor in
1856, Tammany derided his candidacy as
it is doing now. Up to the very day of the
election it conceded to him only 10000 or
5000 votes, at most, and the leaders hon.
estly believed he could get no more.
Actually, GEORGE polled 6s.11O votes, to
aO.552 for HEWITT. the strongest possible
Democratic candidate. and 6o.435 for
ROOSEVELT, Republican. HEwITT's plural.
ity of only 22,442 was wholly or almost
wholly Republican, as was proved by the
Republican vote for Justice of the Court
of Appeals, which was 1851 more than
RoosEvEIT's. Those Republican votes went
TO HEWITT, and II TO them is added the
large number cast for the whole Demo.
cratic ticket, exceptionally good and strong
that year. HEwIIT'sentire plurality appears
to have been furnished by Republicans.
This is demonstrated even more COM
pletely by the whole Democratic vote for
its State ticket, which was l32,373. Take
from this GEORGES poll of 6S, l10, and only
"a, 264 Tammany votes are left TO HEWITT.
In fine, HENRY GEORGE split the Tam
many vote squarely in two in 1856, when
the Wigwam was confident up TO the day
OF election that he would make only n
feeble demonstration.
7. The Wall street brokers disposed to offer
odds on Judge VAN WICK, il there are
really any such, would be more prudent II
they should take the trouble TO consult a
political almanac for 1856.
This year HENRY GEORGE has entered
into the campaign with far better chances.
He is the regular Democratic candidate,
recognized as such by a large part of the
Democratic National Committee, and he
appeals TO both the hot Bryan sentiment,
which rolled up 4 vote Of 1875, 900 last
! year, and the whole spirit OF social dis.
content. His managing committee an
nounce that they have one hundred cam.
paign orators or their list, including many
effective speakers. He also has now the
advantage OF the strong associated can.
didacy OF Mr.. DAYTON for Comptroller.
GEORGE will make a stirring canvass from
this time forth up 10 the day OF election,
and our Wall street friends will hear It's
roar very plainly and unplensantly.
The Low canvass, also, is tending indi,
rectly to help GEORGE rather than directly
to win votes for Low. II is stirring up the
unrsasoning social discomfort and political
characterization which conduce SO power
fully to GEORGES advantage. Support for
GEORGE is also coming from some unsus,
pected sources. For instance, the rector OF
one Of the most prominent and conserva,
tive of the Episcopal churches of the town
is an avowed George man, and 1t is repre-.
scented to us that the virus of socialism

like Cook Inlet, they can be reached easily

Still another advantage of Cook Inlet is
that, with little loss of time and at mod
crate cost, the miners can get bach to Sitka
or Seattle for the winter; although 1t ap-
pears that several hundreds of them will

clergy to an extent which disquiets the con
sentative laity acquainted with the facts.
1t is folly, therefore, to underrate the
strength of GEORGE. His candidacy, so
alarming In its possibilities, constitutes too
large a factor in the political situation to
be left out Of any intelligent calculations
OF the probable result OF the election. He is
n %sanRuine man, but II cannot be denied
that IL tho conditions produced by the Low
candidacy continue, his confidence in his
success mas a reasonable foundation.
Tho normal Republican vote OF the
Greater New York is about 100000, and IL
united 1t is of itself enough to elect Gen.
TRACY. TIE only doubt lies in the possible
withdrawal Of Republican votes to Low,
but as the dangerous consequence OF such
detection becomes more generally recoE.
nized by Republicans. the draft ia likely to
be reduced to small dimensions.
The defeat of GEORGE and Organism can
be made sure and overwhelming II the con-
sentative community turns squarely and
unitedly to Gen. TRACY.
These are plain facts, not the mere elec.
pioneering claptrap purveyed so profusely
by the Low newspapers moro especially.
Neither can any intelligent man doubt that
IL the election of Gen. TRACY occurs two
weeks from Tuesday, every market will
respond with new buoyancy, and the repu.
tation OF the great American metropolis for
political and social sobriety and sanity will
be enhanced throughout the civilized world,
with the ~equ Of increased conf.
dence in its conservative stability.
