| NEW YORK, Oct. 31.-A mourning
city,a grief-stricken people, today show
ed honor to the man who had fallen
the right Henry George, apostle of
| the single tax, leader of the new Jeffer-
sonian Democracy, stricken on the eve
| Of election, was honored as no private
| before
Public griefs have been many in the
great metropolis Of the Western hem
! isphere; many have been sincerely
mourned, but none, save him who went
to eternal rest after having served his
people as a leader of soldiers and as
chief executive of the land, had laid at
his bier such evidences of public grief,
widespread sorrow and sincere grief as
was laid at the bier of Henry George.
No one would permit a reminder that
he had been candidate for public Of
flee and had been carrying on a bitter
warfare on those he believed were enc
mics of the public veal; no one recall
ed the strong words of denunciation
that fell from his lips while on the po-
litical rostrum; he was remembered
only as man who so loved the people
that he gave his life for them. From
the day dawn far into the night the
outward manifestation of grief lasted,
thousands gazed upon the familiar, be-
loved features, cold in death, yet smil-
ing serenely as in sleep, other thou
sands heard stirring orations, mag
nificent eulogies upon the martyred
dead. In every temple of God, wher-
ever men gathered to worship or to
hear lectures and philosophy taught,
garlands of praise were bestowed upon
the memory of the reverend dead.
In the vast auditorium where the
dead rested, inspired men, teachers of
all faiths, Jews, Christians, Catholics
and Episcopalians, with hearts wrung
eddy fell far short of the great waves
of emotion that sought to find utter
ance Not dissenting voice was heard
to the declaration that Henry George
was lover of the people, who, he be-
lieved, were being oppressed, and that
he gave his life that humanity might
live.
The eulogies uttered, the day gone,
the streets became filled with people
who wished to see the funeral cortege
as it passed in solemn procession down
New Yorks greatest streets, thence
across Brooklyn bridge and through
Brooklyn's streets to the Brooklyn city
hall. There the public gave over the
body to the family and the casket was
taken to the modest home in Fort
Hamilton, from which they will be
borne to their final resting place in
Greenwood tomorrow morning.
At the lowest estimate 125,00O people
saw the casket as it wendell it's way to
that point where the public was COM
PEELED to stand aside in reverence and
sympathy while the family claimed it's
own.

NEW YORK, Oct. s1.-Before 2
o'clock the people were permitted to
occupy the seats in the hall The
front six rows in the main part of the
auditorium were reserved for the fam
lily, the immediate friends of the de-
ceased, the pallbearers and the ushers
All the rest Of the main floor was omen
to the crowd and it took but a. short
time to fill the hall The platform of
course, was reserved, and the galleries,
which hold a comparatively small
number, We're likewise reserved for the
holders of tickets. 1t was said to have
been the intention at first not to have
any policemen in the hall at all. but
large number of uniformed police
were present. Owing to the careful
arrangement in the streets. however
the crowd inside was not permitted to
reach such proportions as would lead
to unpleasant crowding such as might
result in a panic Every seat was
taken and in certain portions a con-
siderable number of persons were per-
mftted to stand. 1t is estimated that
nearly 5000 people were in the hall
during the services.
1t had been announced that the eX,
ercises would begin at o'clock, but
doubtless owing to the difficulty ex-
perienced in reaching the hall. the

TRACY MAKES BIG CLAIMS.
Tammanyites Give Out That
Their Vote Will Exceed
100000.
IS GEORGE A FACTOR?
His Strength PrOblematical
Low Forces Working Hard
for Victory.

NEW YORK, Oct. 31-The RepubIl-
can committee claims to confidently an
ticipate the election of Gen. Tracy and
each of the Republican borough tick
cts 1t believes, according to a state
ment issued today that the vote for
Henry George in the boroughs of Man
haitian and Bronx will considerably ex
coed the vote of the Citizens Union.
1t is absolutely confident that Seth
Low will not carry a single assembly
district in the present city of New
York, and the only one where there is
any real contest between Tracy and
Low is the Twenty-ninth district.
which Tracy will. they say, carry over
Low by full thousand votes. The ma
1Ority by which Gov. Black defeated
Porter last year will be just about the
majority by which Tracy Will defeat
van Wyck. In the borough of Brook
lyn Tracy will beat Low to l. Tho
statement concludes:
We expect to poll 115 900 votes for Tracy in
New York and the Bronx. 10000 in Brooklyn
10000 in Queens and 5000 in Richmond and
We expect that vote to carry with the state
plurality in each borough. The claims of
the Citizens Union are moonshine. They are
without form and void.
Of the vote of 100000. which it is expected
Will be polled In the boroughs OF Manhattan
and the Bronx, Former Mayor Hugh ]. Grant
estimates that 1l4.GOO will be cast for the
regular Democracy nominees which is 80 rer

ole. This will leave 10000 votes to be other
wise distributed
Assuming that Gen. Tracy and Low
will have 117,000 votes to divide at the
outset, there remain So 900 votes. The
Socialists must be credited with 10000
and the Prohibitionists with 1000.
here will be $4,000 left. OF these
Henry George with great literally may
be credited with 10000 Out Of the re-
manning $4,000 votes the Tracy and
Low factions will have the National
Democracy votes of last year and say
about 5000 other Mugwumps, making
1900 altogether, carrying their com
bined votes up to $4,000. The residue
of 1000 votes will swell the Democratic
column, making it's total strength 49,
COO a conservative estimate.
In Brooklyn the registration is 2O4.-
COO, of which 1874, 600 votes will be
polled. A conservative estimate gives
the Democrats $4,000, leaving 1913 600 10
be divided otherwise. Tracy and Low
are apportioned $1,000 of these Henry
George, he assumes. will get 5000
The remaining $4,000 votes include the
5000 that were with Shepherd in 1895,
and these are credited to Tracy and
Low. 5000 to the Socialists, and 500 to
the ProhibitiOnsts. The remaining
20, 900 votes must be put into the reg
ular Democratic column, making the
entire $4,000.
The Democrats viii get so per cent
of the $4,000 votes in the borough Of
Queens, and like percentage Of the
II, 600 votes to be cast in the borough
Of Richmond. Putting the figures to-
gether Leader Grant says they show
that Judge Van Wyck will receive

remains of the great man reposing
calmly, his features unruffied, as If
in sleep. The left arm rested lightly
on the breast, the other by the side.
The remains were clad in black broad
cloth, rundown collar and a plain
black tie.
For the first half hour the throng,
filing up the hall in twos, passed at
the rate of 1900 an hour, but shortly
the numbers swelled and grew until at
one time eighty passed each minute.
At this rate, 5000 an hour the crowd
passed until the churches emptied their
audiences into the vast concourse
which was vending it's way down from
Forty-sixth street to the palace, and
which filled Forty-siXth street and
Third avenue for many blocks. For the
last two hours the crowd came at the
rate of 5000 an hour. This is the high
est rate obtainable under such cir
cumstances as these. Any greater
celebrity would have meant an undignl-
fed, irreverential rush.
August Lewis. a prominent single
taxer, wept bitterly as he passed by,
and tenderly laid bunch of violets on
the glass. A woman who followed III
the line about an hour later placed a
modest bunch of pinks beside the vio-
let's.
THOUSANDS TURNED BACK.
A little before o'clock the line was
stopped and those who could not get IN
were compelled to turn back and ge,
out from the police lines. A careful esti-
mate of the number who could not get
in is 10000. This number is equal to
the number of those who passed the
casket.
Then another throng came-those
who wished to hear the eminent clergy :
men praise Henry George. During the
last hour an orchestra played Chopin's
funeral march, Handel's Largo" and
"The Lost Chord"
The floral decorations were profuse.
mass of wreathed flowers was sent
by the Chicago Single Tax club On
a card accompanying the wreath was
the following verse:
ye. whose cheek the tear of pity stains
Draw near; with pious reverence attend;
Here lie the husbands dear remains,
The tender father and the generous friend;
The plying heart that felt for human Woe
The dauntless heart that feared no human
The friend of man, to vice alone foe
For cen his feelings leaned to virtues side
The casket itself was devoid of any
ornament save the heavy silver hand

cit, in accordance with the principles

than with mere eulogy of the dead

more energetic, perhaps, than the re-

The last address was concluded
shortly after oc.ock ard the meeting
was dismissed with directions from a

manner Of dismissal from the hall.
