NEW York POLITICS.

Senator Plat. OF New York. has been SO
generally credited with political sagacity
that II beoomes interesting 70 observe
which ne seems 70 have been plunged
either by his own plan or By the indiscre-
too Of bis Iientenanss. Not long ago Ed
ward Lauterbach, whe was then chairman
Of the New York central committee, de-
eiared that the Republicans could nomi-
nate a straight ticket IN the next munich
pal campaign without any regard TO other
anti-TsEamsny elements. He retired from
Office. ana his successor, Lemuel Ely
ouigg. manifested disposition TO adopt
more eonciIiatory policy.
BEFORE ne had time to formulate his
plans q citizens union was formed. with
the av0wed purpose % supporting Seth
Low FOR the FIRST mayor of Greater New
York. Dir. Qnigg committed the indis-
erection. as IL now seems. OF declaring THAI
the Republicans would not accept Mr..
Low IL he accepted any nomination prior
to the regular Republican one. That was
a concession, bat Il did not satisfy the
citizens union. which influential body dis
regarded it and went on with its work OF
securing support for Mr.. Low.
1t became apparent that Mr.. Low would
be nominated by the union. and that II the
Republicans put up another candidate
Tammany would be successful Now the
Republicans propose a conference with all
organizations Opposed 10 the rehabilIta-
ton OF Tammany Hall. with view to
the selection OF the same day for holding
ali the anti-Tammany conventions. so that
entire harmony and ready conference may
be assured In the selection Of candidates
and PRONUNCIATION OF principles
Ii IL very unfortunate that this condition
Of affairs should exist. IT affords oppor-
tunity for the insinuatlon that the Repuh-
leans realize at a late date that Mr.. Low
must be nominated. and seek only TO be
spared the apparent humiliation of having
10 indorse any other than straight ticket.
With such a fight menacing il as that
which Tammany VIII force. the Repub-
leans could with good grace have rallied
10 the support OF so good a man as Seth
Low, without any loss OF dignity. His cleo
ton is the best thing that could happen for
New York city. and that should have been
the paramount consideration.

THRILLING SIGHT.
Memorable shower of Falling stars
Recalled by en- Eyewitness.
Atlanta Journal


The recent eclipse was discussed IN a
crowd Of old timers the other day ard
IL wes unanimously admitted that when
ever sny1h hing unusual occurred IN the
heavens * impressed the beholder more
than any other phenomenon.
From the subject OK eclipse the CONVERSE
ton turned 20 comets and netsors. and the
big shower OF failing stars In November
1s83 was referred TO by one or the takers.
7 remember IL. said Col. George ".
Adair. AT that time I was only a small
boy. but the spectacle was one not 20 be
forgotten IN a hurry, and the agitation and
alarm OF the older people around me i'm
pressed Il upon my mind.
1T was on the night OF the 18th Of No
veInber. 1913. when the stars fell. / was
then living out 10 the country. In Henry
county. and was fast asleep when the
shower came.
My father had gone that night 20 corn
shocking and knew nothing about the
trouble until he started home. He was
with a friend named Jones. a man of q
religious turn of mind. and when the stars
commenced cutting up their capers my
father WAS anxious 20 reach home as soon
as possible. But Jones was frightened out
of his wits. and got down on his knees by
the side OF the read 70 pray. II was no use
reasoning with him. Every hundred yards
or so he collapsed and dropped on his
knees. He had a powerful voice, and his
lamentations and shouts made the woods
ring and added to the horrors Of the night.
Finally my father got home. and he lost
no time in waking my mother and myself.
/ shall never forget the scene spread out
before me. when I went out into the yard.
1t was indescribably grand and awful. and
the heavens seemed TO be filed with mil
lions Of sky rockets. Streams of fire rolled
In every direction, and the stars and me-
teors fell like fakes Of snow.
Nothing like IL had ever been seen by
the people then living. and they were badly
scared. The negroes set up the most un-
earthly yeils and bowls, and from every
cabin might be heard snatches of prayer
and religious songs. Many OF the spec
tators believed that the world was coming
10 an end. and they were in q frenzy of
terror and excitement.
The next day everybody felt relieved.
but there was very little work done. Nat
urally. everybody got into a religious
frame of mind. and for weeks afterward
the preacher had large congregations. and
a crowd of old sinners Joined the church.
at was wonderful sight. and / never
expect to see anything like II again."
