Political News.

NEw YORK, Oct. g. Henry George
accepted the nomination for Mayor of
Greater New York at Cooper Union
last night II was in the same hall
and before many of the same people
that he accepted the nomination eleven
years ago, when he received 6s, 900
votes
II was the greatest outpouring Of tho
people seen in this city during the
present campaign Hundreds were
turned away during the next fifteen
minutes, and by s o'clock several thou
sands unable to gain admission as
sembled outside and held open air
meetings in the plaza, which were ad-
dressed by several local speakers.
Henry Georges appearance before the
meeting was the signal for an out
burst of cheering that lasted three
minutes The secretary then read the
following platform, whic h was adopt
ed:
The platform reaffirms adherence TO
the 'creed of Democracy set forth in
the platform adopted by the national
convention of the Democratic party in
Chicago, July 8, 1896, which declares
our allegiance 20 the principles enun-
ciated in that document, pronounciug
them the formal expression of the
spirit of true Democracy. and we
point in corrohoration of this belief TO
the fact that the mere promulgc tion
of the doctrines drove from the Demo
cratic party those who, for corrupt,
mercenary or ambitious ends, had
strivon TO make IL menace to tho
rights and liberties Of the people,
rather than the defender" The plat
form sends greetings TO the gallant
leader of the Democratic party, Will
lam Jennings Bryan" and hints at
the single tax by declaring for the
''reassumption of diverted wealth,
through wise, equitable and scientific
taxation
In ACCEPTING Mr. George said:
Fellow Democrats, men who voted
last year for William jennings Bryan,
| accept your nomination From now
until election closes, am yours. Aye,
and after election. am Democrat.
| Crhunderous applause, and cries OF
Not Of the Hill stripe.")
II cannot divide into parts the
questions which l. as a citizen, have
TO deal with. For the same reasons
that oppose this monstrous tariff IN
all its forms, for the same reason that
/ would vote wherever i could for tic
u tier abolition of that tariff, for that
same reason, am opposed to the in
reference with individual liberty,
which you see here in New York l
am a Democrat in the Jeffersonian
sense. Because the Chicago platform
represented the idea of giving the
great common people what belongs to
them, ! stood for 1t, voted for it, and
was sorrier than l ever was before
when 1t was defeated" Mr.. George
spoke for twenty-five minutes.
