Fr. McGiypn Burst Into Tears.

New York. Oct. 29.-Dr. McGlynn reached the Union Square hotel shortly before Il o'clock. The dispatch which summoned him merely announced that g. "dear friend" was dead. But bearing in mind his own prenlonitions and the premonitions that Henry George had confided to him, he concluded rightly that his great associate in the single tax battle of other years had expired He took the first train from Newburg, and, arriving at the hotel, was met in the corridor by Henry George, jr. When he was taken into the room where his friend lay dead he burst into tears. The scene was distressing one Af- terward he said:
 "Henry George died as Abraham Lin coin died. Lincoln was assassinated just after his great work of saving the Union was consummated. It was said that he was mercifully spared the petty annoyances and bickerings of the re- construction period. Henry George was struck down by fate in the zenith of his powers. But the great work that he inaugurated~ will go on.
 "As a man and philosopher, 1t will be long before his like will be seen again. His goodness and gentleness singled him out among all men, and with others, I almost worshipped him. '
 When Dr. McGlynn was able to think calmly over his recent intercourse witt the dead man he recalled that his friend had frequently expressed his premonitions that his end was ap preaching, and had used language that he now saw indicated presentiment that he would not outlive his cam paign.

The Colored Fighter Plainly outc'asset
 by the Champion.

San Francisco, Oct. 29.-In the La vigne-Walcott fight tonight at the Me- chanics' pavilion, Lavigne succeeded in drawing first blood in the first round.

In the former he put a hard left on the jaw and rushed Joe to his corner George put in terrific right on the body and another on the jaw. Lavigne kept on fighting for the body.

Senator Plntt on the Result.


 New York, Oct. 29.-Senator Platt, in commenting on MT. Georges death, says:
 Unless the Jefferson democrats are betrayed by Tom Johnson, who has been their hoodoo from the start their votes will be easily consolidated upon the other candidate. The disreputable deal between Johnson and the Citizens union has further responsibilities as far as Johnson is concerned. They are not deliverable in bulk to anybody ex- cept to another bona fiide candidate of the party.
 General Tracy will not lose a single republican as the result of MT. Georges death. The republican party will poll its strength with substantial entirety for General Tracy and nothing could affect that fact. Republicans recog- nize the Low movement as a demo- cratic conspiracy. They see in Low an attempt to revive Clevelandism and to betray the republican party by another of those characteristic tricks of the Cleveland democracy. It Is an old and well understood thing.
 Tn every political campaign during the last twelve years the Cleveland democracy has undertaken to divide the republican forces by withdrawing from the republican candidate the sup port of republican voters upon a dis honest pretence of reform purposes. In the existing situation condition Low stands for Cleveland and for the Cleve- land methods.
 "But republicans understand the game. They remember it's conse- quences to the public and to the repub- | lican party in former periods. At l tempts to stampede them now excite Eonly their indignant disgust. They will support their party, their party's prin- | ciples and their party's unconquerable l candidate.
 | If the George party splits up the socialist democratic element may be carried by Johnson to Low. Low is l something of socialist himself, or | rather he is so much of demagogue that, as he says, he is willing to stand on any platform that will fetch him a l handful of votes. This will affect Gen. l eral Tracys chances, insofar as it af- fects them at all, favorably. That is to say that it defects to Low the little | wise might go to Tammany.
 But the bulk of the genuine labor vote which was attached to George vii come to the republican party. Indeed
 even if George had lived an enormous labor support was coming to Tracy In the present condition, it will come
 with increased numbers and increased activity and earnestly. The working | people appreciate what the republican | party has done for them, not only al Washington by restoring prosperity but at Albany by protecting them ant encouraging the development of theil
 organization. Tammany cannot ge'
 this vote. It has become estranget
 from Tammany and in this election i
 is supporting Tracy and will now sup
 port him more vigorously than ever
 "Of all the candidates in the field
 the republican candidate has much tht
 best of it."
