SAT ON TEE PLATFORM WITH HIM
LAST NIGHT.

cit Pr,rcipto.-seth Attends Two Meetinga.
Ono or Them in tho Tenderloiu District.
Seth Low and Herr Heinrich Wcissnann were
the principal sneakers at the Citizens Union
meeting at Majestic Hall in West 125th street
last ovenins. Those who know the past record
OF Herr Wcissmann regard his appearance on
the platform with Mr.. Low as more signincant
than anything Mr.. Low could say with regard
to the later tendency OF the Citizens Union ana
with regard to the sort OF people thas arc
being attracted TO its standard. Last night
after Mr.. Low had intimated that partisan
politicians had designs upon tho right of a frce
ballot, Herr Wcisemann took tho stage and In
formed as much of the crowd as stayed to Hston
to him that they were a small section of 1000
600 political and industrial slaves, and that the
first step toward breaking the shackles that
make them ill-fed, poor, and unhappy was TO
vote to put Seth Low in the Mayors chair. 10
fully understand what Mr.. Low means when ne
invites Herr weissmnnn to speak from the
same platform with himself, and what element
OF society is thereby catered to, II Is proper TO re-
Wow Herr Weissmann's record.
Herr Heinrich Wr:ssmann first turned up In
San Francisco as an agitator in the Dennis
Ecarney Sand Lots movement on the Pacific
coast. He was afterward arrested in connec'
ton with a plot to blow up tho North Beach
Woollep Mills in San Francisco, whore several
hundred Cinnamon were employed. and, ac-
cording to the reports printed In the San Fran
cisco newspapers at the time. he was committed
to Jail. Then, according to a published inter.
view with tho Chief OF Police OF San Francisco,
Herr w,issmsnn turned informer and betrayed
his associates in the dynamite plot.
He next appeared in Ne York as an up.to-
date Anarchist, trying to do Herr Most out Of
his job as boss Of the New York Anarchists. He

finding that 1t wouldn't 60. he became Secretary
Of the international Bakers Union. which place
he resigned to become a boss baker in Brooklyn.
He then got mixed up in politics over the Bakery
Inspection bill. and finally Joined Seth Low. He
Is now speaking nightly for the Cts candidate.
II. C. +. Koch, the Cts candidate for member
of the Council. who spoke before Mr.. Low, made
an address that was interesting, because 1t
paid TO tInthfulness when he selected his candi-
dates. ~ saw in the newspapers some time
Koch, "a comparison with MIR, SESSION. for
