GET BEHIND TRACY.
1t seems to me that there is but one thing for
the great Republican party in this greater city
to do. 1t Is to get behind Benjamin +. Tracy,
to elect him Mayor OF Greater New York and
honest government in every way, and at the
same time express the hearty concurrence of

money and for the destruction and death OF

Here is what Gen. Tracy said:
SPEECH OF GEN. TRACY.
Mr.. CHAIRMAN. LADIES, AND GENTLEMEN: 1t
Is not possible for the Imagination OF man to
anticipate all of the results that will come to
the people OF this gr eater city fros. the present
election. We are about TO undertake an expert
ment in municipal government greater than
any experiment that the world has ever seen.
We attsmpt to bring together three whole coun-
ties OF the State, two of them the most populous
iE the State, and a part of another county. with
all their town governments, their school district
cities and towns and districts. and to weld them
together in one consolidated government to be
government as that viii be after the 1st Of
January exists on the face OF the globe. Tho
Which must be Considered and solved during the
first four years are the most difficult that the
human mind can conceive. Applause. ~
The welfare of the people OF this city, their
peace and happiness and their prosperity, will
depend largely upon the success or failure OF
lines upon Which New York is to develop and
grow must be laid down and established within
tho next four years. New York can be and
should be the healthiesl city in the world and
the most beautiful. lApplansel

no Introduction to you. You know it sadly. IT
represents, in my. opinion, everything that is
vicious and pcrnicious in administration in the
city and in the state and tho nation. The Re
publican party has been its enemy from the be-
ginning, is its enemy now, and always will be.

Tho George vote-no one knows what that il
to be. 1t Is an unknown quantity. 1t is utterly
impossible to predict whether it is to have a
majority OF the Democratic vote. or whether il
IS to have 25 pei, cent. or 40 per cent. of the
Democratic vote. In tho Citizens ticket, headed
by Mr.. Low lhissesl, you have an appeal to Re
publicans to vote for that ticket on the ground
