Questing an answer before the end of
this month, was placed today in the
hands of the American minister here,
Gen. Woodford. The draft of the reply,
made by Foreign Minister Gullon, was
the cabinet. The communication is
courteous in tone, but very determined
in rejecting the purport of the Ameri-

determination to settle the Cuban ques-
tion herself without foreign assistance
or interference of any kind. She de-

GEORGE THE SPECTACULAR STaR.
His Campaign the Feature OF the Contest
i'm Greater New York.

NEW YORK, Oct. 23.-Henry
Georges canvass continues to be the
spectacular feature of the most re-
markable political campaign New York
has ever witnessed. His army of
speakers hold hundreds of meetings in
all parts. of New York every night, but
Mr.. George himself is the most effec-
tive advocate of his cause, preaching
the crusade against poverty with the
zeal of Peter the Hermit; declaring
himself an instrument in the hands of
God to better the condition of his fell
low men, and firing his hearers with
an ardor that makes them in turn
apostles of his radical doctrines. In
every borough of Greater New York,
in halls, in the streets, on the wharves,
Henry George speaks to multitudes
that cheer his every word.
For the past few nights Mr. George
has been making savage attacks on
Richard Croker, the leader of Tam
many hall Among the labor unionists
and in the swarming tenement districts,
where people are crowded more thick
ly than anywhere else on earth, Mr.
Georges audiences are almost frantic
in their demonstration The business
end Of his campaign is conducted by
eX-Congressman Tom L. Johnson and
ex-Postmaster Charles w. Dayton,
shrewd veteran campaigners. Of
spe eakers there is no lack; all the sur
vivors Of the 1886 campaign are on the
stump again, except Father McGlynn,
and he has declared himself in Sym-
pathy with the movement
Each days developments accentuate
the fact that in the municipal cam
paign a leading issue, if not the fore
most one, is whether the government
of Greater New York shall be partisan
or non-partisan. Day by day the gall
and bitterness Of the contest enters
more and more into the relation of
regular toward independent and of in
dependent toward regular. AS to the
basis of the claims of the managers of
The Saint Paul globe., 1897-10-24

ha cen to return to New York. His
2 Quncement created unbounded en-
ttlsiasm among his frierds, and as he
is open in his support of Henry George
this move, it is held by the friends of
the latter, cannot fail to have an In
fluence on the election.
1t will be remembered that when the
priest was deposed from ST. Stephens
church and disciplined for agitatins
for Henry George, against the explicit
orders of the archbishop, he was after
ward restored to priesthood through
the good offices of Mgr. Satolli, the
only condition imposed being that
henceforth he should be an obedient
priest.
An immense crowd gathered into and
"overf1ow" from Colts hall on Abing-
don square, on the lower West side, to-
night, to hear Mr. George and Charles
w. Dayton Mr.. Dayton arrived first
He was wildly greeted, and every sem
tence he uttered brought out great
cheering. His speech was about the
same as others he has delivered, plea
for the plain people and the destruc-
tion of bossism." Dayton was just fin
ishing when cheers far down the street
heralded the coming of George. Every
one in the hall turned about and watch
ed the door, When the jostling in the
crowd near the door told the audience
that the popular idol was near at
hand, there wss loud cheer, but when
the smiling face of the candidate ap-
peared the audience seemed to go sud-
denly mad. Men shrieked and roared
They did not cheer. Some grasped
their nearest neighbors by the hand
and they yelled in unision. George
tried several times to quiet them. Each
time he raised his hand the tumult
started anew But order was restored
and the candidate made his speech
Seth Low spoke in the vaudeville
hall of the Harlem Opera house to-
night 1t was completely filed with an
audience composed for the larger part
of women and children. They were en-
thusiastic, however. Mayor Strong
made short speech. He said the re-
cent police promotions were the first
in the history of New York that the
men did not have to pay for. Seth Low
arrived while the mayor was speak
ing. He was loudly cheered, and as
he shook hands with Mr.. Strong on the
platform there was much cheering. He
said his candidacy was protest
against either bossism in Washington
or the kind which has it's headquarters
at the English race track. Seth Low
also addressed a largely attended
meeting In the Central Opera house.

cts will win at the polls Tammany be-
lieves Van Wyck will win because
Greater New York is normally Demo-
cratic by a large majority; because the
public has wearied of what some style

law is unpopular; because the tax rate
sions in the Republican ranks, and be-
cause, as alleged, Georges strength
has been absurdly- exaggerated.
The straight Republicans say that
the normal Democratic majority is
only about $4,000 in the four counties
of New York, Kings. Queens and Rich
mond, and George Will get at least
0,000-probably 1G0,090-votes, which
will come almost entirely from the
Tammany forces, while Lows vote
will be much less than is claimed, and
of its total fully half will come from
Democrats who fear Tammany's as
cendancy, but do not want George.
Much is also hoped for from the sup
port of Democrats who fear the effect
that Van Wyck,s or Georges election
would have on the currency issue in
national politics..
Lows supporters profess confidence
bacause of reported defections. in Tam
many: because of objections to what
tics; because of careful canvasses be-
fore and since Lows acceptance and
because of the record, personal and
political, of Columbia's president
The George men base their hopes on
the showing of their candidate in 1886,
on the support of the Bryan forces and
on the discomfort with Tammany
methods.
A sensation was created in political
and Roman Catholic circles by the an

NEWS TO SECRETARY HART.
Secretary Hart, of the state board
of corrections and charities, which has
general review of the affairs of all the
state institutions of a correctional or
charitable nature, said yesterday that
he had read the G o b es publication
of the charges made against Deputy
Warden Lemon, but had no idea
whether or not the board would pursue
the matter any further. 1t was the
first he had ever heard of the assaults
on either Heen or Hahn, although it
was not the first time that complaint
had been made about the conduct of
affairs by Deputy Warden Lemon In
fact, the state board had pursued the
investigation ordered by the legislature
of 1891 into some of his acts very thor
oughly Mr. Hart was 10th to talk
about the sensational exposure of yes

Warden Wolfer, when seen at the
prison yesterday, said that he had
nothing to say, inaSmuch as he was
going to ask the board of prison man
ayers for an immediate investigation
Of all charges.
'You see" he said to the Clio e
correspondent, II am in no position
to discuss this matter, charges of Sc

officers connected with this institution.

tail of the charges, SO that the public
may determine whether or not they. are
true. and in the meantime, I ask tie
public not to form any conclusions as
to the truth or falsity of the several
charges. think it would be unwise
for me to enter into discussion of
these grave charges, but after the in
vestigation is made, I may have some
thing to say. All l ask is justice, and
so far as 1 am concerned l want moth
ing more. -
All efforts to secure from him any
information concerning the charges
proved utterly unavaiing, and in con-
clusion he said:

charges reflect very strongly upon my
