TOM PLATPs FORECASTS.
Believes Georges Death VIII Favor
ably Affect Tracy.

New York. Oct. 29.-In a statement is
sued this afternoon, Senator Plat 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 possibilities. so far
as Johnson is concerned. but not so far
as the real friends and followers of
George are concerned They are not
deliverable in bulk to anybody except
to another bona fde candidate of the
party.
General Tracy will not lose q single
Republican vote as the result of Mr..
Georges DEATH The Republican party
win Doll its strength with substantial
entirety for General Tracy, and moth
ing could or can affect that fact The
Republicans recognize the Low move
ment as a Democratic conspiracy. They
see in Low an attempt to revive CleVe-
Iandism ard betray the Republican
party by another of those characteristic
tricks of the Cleveland Democracy.
1T is an old and well known thing.
In every political crisis during the last
l2 years the Cleveland Democracy has
undertaken to divide the Republican
forces by drawing from the Republican
candidate the support of Republican
voters upon pretense Of reform pur-
poses.
In the existing situation Low stands
for Cleveland methods and maneuVers,
bat Republicans understand their game
They remember its consequences to the
Republican party in former periods. At

only their indignant disgust.
They will support their party's
trusted principles and their party's I'M
conouerable candidate II the George
party should split up, the Socialist
Democratic element may be carried by
Johnson to Low. Low is something of
a socialist himself, or rather he is so
much of a demagogue that, as he says,
he is willing to stand on any platform
that will fetch him handful of votes.
This viii affect General Tracy S
chances faVorably. If George had lived
he would have secured an enormous Ia
Dor support that will now come to Gen
eraI Tracy. The working people appre-
ciate what the Republican party has
done for them. not only in Washington
by restoring prosperity, also at Albany
bv protecting them and encouraging the
DEVELOPMENT of their organization.
Tammany cannot get this vote. 1t has
become estrauged from Tammany hall,
and in this election it is supporting
Tracy, and It will now support him
more strongly than ever. OF al the
candidates in the field the Republican
candidate has much the best of it
