earnest In a little less than two hours he ad-
dressed four meetings on the East Side and
spoke TO upward of two thousand people. The
receptions given to Mr.. Low were remarkable
when it is re nembered that he was invading dis
tricts that have hitherto been veritable hotbeds
OF Tammanyism, and where hitherto the ma
jority Of voters have shown inclination only to
follow the instructions Of Tammany leaders. AZ
each meeticg Mr. Low greeted with en-
thusiastic outbursts Of applause. and frequently
on his way from hall to hall in his carriage
groups Of people at street crossings who kne"
Of his presence IN the nelghborhood gave three
/ cheers for Seth Low, our next Mayor
Mr. Low was listened to by each Of his audi
ences with close attention that was even more
complimentary and encouraging than volumes
of cheers.
In q calm, argumentative manner MI LoX

and religions.
