ening in the attack.
To Democrats we say, join In the renewed Of.
fort to force the Democratic organization of
New York to DO democratic. To voters OF every
partisan sort we say, proceed bravcly and faith
fully along the Democratic path which Henry
George described for your guidance, and tho
ends which he most sought may yet be achieved.
We offer you a candidate and we promise you
organized effort and enthusiastic service.
We declare tn t the Henry George living to-
day stands for all that the Henry George OF yes.
terday, now passed from earth. stood for. He is
pure in character, strong in intellect, great in
ability, and untlinching in courage. He Is q
Jefrersonian Democrat whose faith is rs broad
as that Of the great leader to whose place he has
been assigned. He trusts the people. and We
believe the people will trust him and will elect
him..
Again we appeal to tho Democracy OF New
York, to tho believers In tho immortal princi-
plies Of Jefferson for which Henry George lived
and died, to stand by their principles. The
standard raised by Henry Georg must not DO
lowered. The fight must 20 on. Hsnry George
must be elected Mayor Of New York.

CHARMS w. DAYTON,
JEROME O'NEILL-
In the place of the dead loader, Charles w.
Dayton spoke at three meetings last night in
support OF Henry George, Jr. At each appear
ance he was greeted with the greatest enthu-
siasm. and the audience made perfectly evident
their sentiment that the whole force Of the or
ganization should be e1erted toward the cleo
ton Of the dead mans son. The mention Of
young Georges candidacy was received with
cheering every time any speaker mentioned
him.
The first place at which Mr.. Dayton was to
have spoken was l55th street and Eighth ave-
nue., but owing to a misunderstanding it was
supposed that the meeting had been given up,
and, as speakers were lacking, the gathering
was adjourned before Mr.. Dayton got there.
At the Murray Hill Lyceum. Thirty fourth
street and Third avenue. the United Democracy
crowded the hall.
Winfield s. Overton, who presided, called
upon the people to stick to the party and be
loyal to young George as they would have been
to the father whose principles he represents.
Three hearty cheers were given for the new
candidate. When Mr.. Dayton appeared he re-
ceived an ovation. He said:
"Our gathering tonight Is under circum-
stances such as have rarely happened in this or
any other country. In the midst OF an earnest
and important campaign one OF our greatest and
purest men. an unsurpassed patriot, has fallen
with tho banner claspcd in his hand.
He was engaged in a contest for the rights
OF the people as against the encroach-
ments of a modern aristocracy. When victory
seemed almost assured, and when only last night
he was in the field cheering the hearts OF his
fellows, he was stricken down. To-day he lies
cold and s stiiiN NatI III reyese ;d, an .h, nonof TSa
lofticst and tho lowliest alike hitting up their
voices to heaven In grief for his death and in
Thanksgiving that Henry George has lived.
Facing such a situation. and with hearts
bowed down in sadness, following the injunc-
ton that our dead leader would have given, We
are hero pressing forward in his campaign. ZAP.
