From the Lockport Journal.
The loyal Republicans of New York city are
putting forth every effort possible to defeat
Tammany Hall in tho coming election. and
would most likely succeed except for the fac
tious opposition OF Mugwumps inside the party
led by Mr.. Seth Low. n leader whose real animus
Is well understood when 1t is known that he Is
already secretly a candidate for Governor and
possibly President. He takes this present re-
bellious and ruinous course, approaching that
with his traitorous political record no such
coveted honors could possibly await him within
the regular Republican party organization.
From the ST. Louis Globe. Democrat.
A Republican victory in the New York cleo
ton would be q strong bull factor in tho general
business situation. Tho fear that either Tam
many or Henry George may carry the city has
sent stocks down in the past few days. as the
dread Of Bryan's triumph did several times be.
tween his nomination and tho election in 1896.
The continued prcdominance of the Republicans
in national affairs is necessary to the pcrma-
hence and extension OF the financial improve.
mcnt, and n reverse in New York city would
frighten business men. for a time at least, and
check the growth in trade. This fear, 1t is well
to remember. would affect Democratic business
men as we'll as Republicans. In a broader sense,
therefore. than is apt to be realized the election
in New York is Of general Importance. The de-
feat Of Tracy would encourage the Bryanitcs all
over the country. arouse all the elements of dis
order and discomfort, which are always banded
! against the Republican party. and check for q
time the expansion Of industries and the ad-
vance in wages. This is why the campaign In
New York is Of national interest. This is also
why tho earnest and intelligent fight the Repub-
licans arc making to carry the city is appleuded
by the party all over the country.
From the Portland orsoonfan.
Henry George is nominated upon q platform
that distinctly accepts the Chicago platform of
1896 and reiterates every article OF the infa-
nous inccndiary political creed known as Bry-
anism.
From the Ne,cark Daily advertiser.
In on election of such great importance and
widespread interest as that which is about to
be held in New York. it is impossible to confne
the Issues to local questions. The result will
have a national significance. 1t will have a
direct bearing on national politics in the Con.
grcssional elections next year. and on the Presi-
DENTAL election later. All over this broad land
the success OF Tammany or Henry George will
be accepted as indicating a reaction from the
verdict of last November and an Endorsement
OF Organism.
People look for positive declarations and posi-.
tive results. The election Of Gen. Tracy on a
platform which distinctly pronounces against
tho silver hcrcsy will be a positive act. The
election Of Low on a platform that completely
ignores the vital question would amount to a
notification Of the verdict Of last year. The
success of Taminany or tho election of George
