Republican forces are standing firm as rock
against the Tammany'MuRwump combination,
and that there Is absolutely no foundation
for tho stories OF assertions to Low.

no sign OF wavering along inc tracy lines. and

THIS estimate gives Mr.. Low an average Of 90
votes in each election district. which is tive or
six in excess Of what the Republican managers
ooncede, and it is a very liberal one.
The brooklyn Eagle thus began . double

lone or both OF them may die. but unless all
present signs arc false, and unless the convic-
tlons OF ali sane observes are deiusions the race
is between Seth Low and +; A. Van Wyck, and
one or the other Of them will be the first Mayor
of Greater New York.
