Denounces McKinley's Administration for In
terfering-George Wants to Meet Low on
the Stump-Another Richmond.

New York, Oct. 1.-THE principal
events of the day were former Postmas-
ter Charles NJ Daytons acceptance of
the nomination for comptroller on the
George ticket; Mayor Strong's declara-
ton for Seth Low, in which he resented
the interference of the national admin
istration in the local campaign, and
Tammany Halls ratification meeting,
which was not nearly so largely attened-
ed as the leaders hoped it would be.
The Citizens union is holding numerous
meetings and Henry George is about
to take the stump.
Speaking at crowded Citizens union
mass meeting tonight Mayor Strong
made vigorous plea for Seth Low. He
said:
When Folger ran for governor and
was DEBATED by nearly 100000 majority
the national administration tried to in
terfere in the affairs of the state of New
York. If the foundation principles of
the republican party are SO weak that
it is necessary to have a member of the
cabinet interfere in our municipal af-
fairs, the foundations have been knock
ed from under the party. They cannot
say am not republican. L have al
ways voted for the republican party,
but I learned long years ago to vote
for republican freedom. I am as good
a republican as anybody. But if sena-
tors are to be imported here for the
purpose of telling us we are not repub-
licans, that we must submit to be ruled
by one man, then I want to say to you
that I am not a republican on that
ground. kGreat applause. But they
cannot read me out of the republican
party, they cannot prevent my voting
for republican candidates and they can
not prevent my voting for good men,
and that's why am going to vote for
man by the name of Seth Low. (Great
applause) a man who stands on the
same platform as we had in 1894, for
respectable busipess-like, manly form
of government"
