Low BEATEN AND BEATEN BAD1r;
He Can't He Better Than . Had Third Now,
says One OF His Early gupportera.

He Can't He Better Than y Rad Third Now,
says One OF His Early Supporters.
One of the members Of the Cts Committee
on Organization, who took part in the early
months OF the campaign, said yesterday that he
had not the slightest idea that Seth Low would
be better than o bad third.
81 wish 1 coulo think otherwise" he said,
but upon my soul, l can't. SO far as l can see
this is the biggest gold brick campaign, so far
as our side is concerned, that l ever took part
in. The men who are running it must be abso-
lutely blind that they canot see how things are
shifting. All of them, with the probable ex-
ception Of McCook. firmly believe that Low will
be elected.
81 get around town a good deal and have
good opportunities to observe. II Low gets Is
per cent. Of the Republican vote I shall be the
most astonished man in Greater New York.
l can't possibly see how he will get as much
as that.
"But there is another thing that is important.
I wonder II those chaps at headquarters have
any idea of how George is cutting into them.
George is going to play hob with Tammany and
he is going to play hob with Low. He's a man
that will bear watching. 1 can lame twenty
men offhand who were originally Low men
and are now heart and soul for George. We're
be aten, and were beaten badly. and I'm
mighty sorry. but from the time we refused to
have anything to do with the Republican ma
chino no other result was possible. Some
statements that have come from the Republi-
cans l think unwarranted. but a man who
really believes that the fight is not between
Van Wyck and George %stulCfes himself in do
ing 3d."
Mr.. Low will speak in Staten Island to night.

The muzzle was taken of the Mayoralty can
didate OF Tammany Hall yesterday long enough
to permit him TO make q speech of thirty four
words. Then the muzzle was readjusted by
Head Keeper Grant, and the candidate was led
back for exhibition in the corner room on tho
parlor floor OF the Hotel Bartholdi; The speech
OF MIR. Van Wyck was made to tho committee
OF the Independence Hall Democracy, who do
sired to notify him of their Endorsement OF hih
candidacy. The place was room 80 on the
floor above the candidates headquarters.
There were twenty-seven members OF tho com.
mittee, including Ernest Harvier, Julius Har-
Philip Hirshkind. Leopold Harburger. Gabe
Marks, and Kinahan Corvallis, Mr.. Hnrvior
made the notification speech. Everybody ex-
cent the candidate. who flushed scarlet,
grinned when MIR. Harvier began by saying:
This is not a speaking canvass, and l will
be very brief"
MIR. Harvior saw that he was dealing with q
delicate subject and hastily continued:

WATCH THE TRAITOR TRIBUNE"
sec Whitelaw Reid's disappointed Ambition
Wield Itn Treacherous KNIFE.

Inc republican campaign managers In charge
OF dcn. Tracy's canvass for Mayor of Greater
New York declared yesterday that next to
electing Gen. Tracy their most agreeable duty
was to call the attention Of all Republicans in
New York State and all other States to tho con-
tinued efforts of the New York Tribune to stab
zen. Tracy, the gallant Republican Union Gen
eral. The New York Tribune is engaged in
the effort to stab Gen. Tracy in tho interest of
Seth Low, the candidate of four Democratic
machines. MIR. Low resigned from tho Repub-
lican party in 1888 and has never rejoined 1t.
He is q Cleveland Mugwump and free trader.
The New York Tribune's latest effort to stab
Gen. Tracy is the slogan raised by 1t. Low or
Iammanyl" That means IL Low cannot DO
elected land he certainly cannot) then the VIC
tory Ia to go to Tammany.
The New York Tribune Is now attempting to
stab Gen. Tracy by quoting extracts from
unsupported canvasses printed In the Demo.
cratic Herald, which is for Low. Tho Demo-
cratic World, the organ of the anarchists and
social revolutionists, is quoting from editorial
articles printed in the Now York Tribune advis-
ing Gen. Tracy to withdraw from the race. The
New York Tribune ia thus engaged in attempt
ing to demoralize the forces of the Republican
party in the face of tho enemy and on the eve
Of the election.
All over the State of New.York, and in every
State in the Union. Republicans.are watching
with anxious eyes tho progress Of the battle.
Gen. Tracy was nominated by the Republic
cans. and stands upon tho st. Louis platform
Of 1896. Seth Low and his sorehead Repubh-
cans, and free trade Democrats and Copper
heads refused to confer or consult with the Re-
publicans. They have not attacked Tammany.
| All their venom has been directed against Gen.
Tracy and the Republicans, and the New York
| TIibune In every nolitical limo IL Drinta in on
gagged in the Same effort to stab Gen. Tracy.
The Republican campaign managers call at
tention to the fact that Whitelaw Reid. editor
of the Tribune, the man who is now directing
the stabs at Gen. Tracy, was sent as Minister
to France by the Republican party and in 1892
was nominated for vice-President by the Re-
publican party. His unpopularity brought
disaster to Gen. Harrison. the head Of the Presi-
Dental ticket. The Republican campaigners
desire to call the attention of all Republicans
in the United States TO the fact that Whitelaw
Reid, through his agents, has pestered repro.
sentatives of the Republican organization OF the
State Of New York for their Endorsement of his
itching desire to succeed John Sherman as Sec.
rotary of State. This Endorsement has been re.
fused.
This will doubtless partly explain why the
New York Tribune is now engaged in efforts to
stab Gen Tracy, the candidate Of the Republi'
cans and the hope Of millions Of Republicans in
the United States who are watching. this battle
in Greater New York with anxious eyes.
