foe of bossism, Charles W. Dayton, still
leads In the battle of the Democracy of
Thomas Jefferson against the Democracy
of Richard Croker
TO workingmen, who, with heavy
hearts and bowed heads, saw the body of
their bravest champion borne to its rest
ing-place, we declara that his work is not
ended; his principles survive, and in con-
triputing to The triumph of all he con-
ended for, they serve themselves as fully
now as they could had the elder George
lived. And we point TO Jerome
O'Neill as a man qualified to represent in
public station the workingmen OF the
city, and we urge that the political
strength of the laboring masses will be
measured by his vote.
''This is still, as it has been, the struggle
for the eople against bosses, chosen and
supported by the richer classes. 1t is
still. as It has been, a battle for real de-
mocracy within the Democratic party.
The death OF the great leader no more
closes the contest for equal rights and the
attack upon special privileges than War
ren'S fall at Bunker Hill enGed the domin-
alton of our land by British king"
Tammany Hall was dark and deserted
tonight. The lisutenants had received
their final instructions during the after
noon and the lines were closed up tor bat
tie to-mo orrow. From Chief Croker 10 the
humblest worker OF the lot Tammany
Hall was confident of a sweeping victory
for every candidate its standard.
The George headquarters were deserted
tonight save for the presence of several
mem bers of the cam paign. The feeling
was one of confidence.
81 is our belief, said a member of the
campaign committee, "that our candidate
will poll al. the votes that would have
gone to his father, and many besides [
do not think Mr.. Low Will profit much.
If at all, by Mr.. Georges death. We are
not making predictions but with conf
dence gained from close touch with
the plain people we feel that this city will
give the politicians big surprise
The German-A merican branch of the
Thomas Jeffer on Democracy brought
the CAM paign to close by a meeting to-
night at Cooper Union. Despite the rain,
there was large attendance. About the
hall were hung portrait, of Henry George
drIped in black. Father Ducey took a
a. among the audience. There were
speeches in German and English. Father
Ducey was requested 20 address the meet
ing. He did so, and during his remarks
sad:
"The recent shooting at Hszleton was
murder. l say again, it was murder in
the eyes of God and justice. But CAPITAL
is back of ii, and there will be no legal
punishment for those murderers here

into the hotel for a few minutes but
