encouraged movements that have for their di.
rect purpose the overthrow and humiliation of
tho Republican organization that hns not MS

Roids personal ambition. If Tammnny Hall Is
returned to power and the government OF tho
city OF New York is again proslitutcd by that
INSCRIPTIONS political machine, then the Neic
Iorh Tribune will bo held to gray- :-sponsioil-
ity. II has aided and abettcd those who under
the guise OF reform arc actuated by desire to
destroy the Republican organization. That is
the sum total OF the proceeding. and the Tribune
will not be able to escape responsibility for its
share in this transaction.
From the South Side Observer.
or tho few votes Mr.. Low will receive rs =
candidate OF the Citizens Union, probably a ma
jority will be Democratic votes. Nearly all OF
them will be the votes OF men who are bitterly
opposed to the Republican party. As far as the
head Of the ticket 10 concerned, his canvass ia
not likely to injure the prospect OF the Republi.
can candidate. Unfortunately, however, his
canv IS may weaken tho Republican county
ticket In the boroughs Of Queens and Brooklyn.
In that respect Mr.. Low as a candidate simply
becomes a nuisance. He started out in his cam.
has become simply disturbing element, with
out any prospect OF accomplishing good results.
from the Mavvflle Sentinel
The action OF the Citizens Union was that Of
demagogucs and was arbitrary in the highest
degree. No antiTammany organization, or
combination of elem nts opposed to New York
Democracy, can elect Mayor or any other city
officer without the help OF the regular party
organization; and it looks to great many out
side people as though the sincerity Of tho Citi-
zens Union is extremely shallow when they
allow their big hcadedness to cripple the chances
Of success by antagonizinR the most important
element of strength In the contest

work OF the Republican party in the past
and enthrone the adherents Of the COM
munistic Chicago platform Of 1896, again
driving capital into vaults aud starving labor.

Fom the jamaica Standard
Standing, as Mr.. Low does, distinctly upon q
platform which practically declares that no
political party ought to exist municipality in the
city OF New York, It is an impossibility for the
| Republican convention to nominate Mr.. Low
without declaring itself out OF existence. How
apolitical party can make on-partisanship a
| plank in its platform is inconceivable.
