Not since the Seth Low conspirntors OF dissp.
pointed onlcosceking Republicans and free
trade Democrats popped up their hends were
the Itopublican managers so confident OF Gcn.
Tracy's election as yesterday. Tho republican
campaign managers care nothing Tor straw
votes, which represent only straw opinions.
They arc confident because the Republicans OF
Greater New York can and will elect Gen.
Tracy. Every now and then the campaign
managers find O man who is so interested in
beating Tammany Hall that he says he wants to
walt until tho close OF the week to ascertain
which Is the stronger, Tracy or Low. The
exhaustive and truthful canvass of the twenty
first Republican Assembly district printed in
yesterdays Sun demonstrates that Low cannot
yet moro than 10 per cent. OF the republican
vote in Greater New York, and all the testi-
r.ony yesterday was to the effect that even
these misguided Republicans are having their
eyes opened to tho real situation and to the
fact that by standing together. working to-
gcther. and fighting together they can make
Gen. Tracy the ilrst Mayor of Greater New
York. The TwenIy.l1rst district is the banner
Republican district. Out of 1892 registered
enrolled Republicans 900 are for Low!
In Brooklyn Republicans who wero at first
misguided are daily returning TO Tracy for tho
reason that it has been proved beyond doubt
that Tracy is the only man who can beat Tam
many Hall. The Low managers are pcrsistently
circulating reports that Low is the only man to
beat Tarnmany Hall. The most liberal canvass
OF BROOKLYN gives Low 81, 900 votes, and no
more. Seth Low has not the slightest chance of
beating Tracy. The bets that are now being
made to the effect that he will beat Tracy are
little gold mines for those who take them. Tho
Republican campaign managers are working
night and day with clear perceptions; they know
where they stand. They are experts in ascertain
ing the political drift in campaigns. The Low
people arc amateurs. They are misguided enthu-
siasts. They mistake their own misguided en-
thusiasm for the enthusiasm Of the people.
The campaign OF the Low people is one Of blus-
ter ard brag. II is withou: a corner stone even,
let alone d foundation. Lowism is q feeting
fad. 1t does not represent substantial princi-
pies. The Republican campaign managers are
daily aeceiving evidence that the great work
done by the Republican party and the gold
Democrats a year ago is not to be overturned
within a twelvemonth. Scratch q free trade
Democrat and you will find n Low man.
The Republican vote for Governor last year in
Greater New York was @7I,403. Ninety per
cent. of this vast army is standing solidly by
Gen. Tracy. Low cannot possibly be elected
Mayor of Greater New York. His campaign
managers do not pretend to say 80. They have
never by the slightest intimation declared that
Low can be elected. They spend all their time
insisting that Low is to beat Tracy. That state
ment alone should be a call to arms for every
Republican. Here are Seth Lows disappointed
Republican oficeseekers and free trade Demo
Gratis proclaiming from tho housetops that they
are to beat Tracy, the candidate OF tho
Republicans OF Greater New York. Tho asser-
tions OF these people that Low is to beat Tracy
is an evidence that the Low conspirators are
working directly against tho Republican party,
and not against Tammany Hall. 1t is this fact
which is solidifying the Republican party for
Tracy every day. Henry George is splitting
Tammany Hall wide open. Low Is taking the
free trade Democrats who have hitherto had
only Tammany Hall for u homo and a refuge
The strongest candidate in the race to-day Is
Gen. Tracy. Every fact at hand warrants this
assertion, and every fact at hand calls upon the
Republicans to remember that Gen. Tracy, anc
not Low. is to beat Tammany Hall.
THE Sun furnishes evidence of the brag ant
buster of the Low people. The Erening Post
tho only organ OF the Stecklers, in an editoria
last night referred to a poll taken on the Prod
nee Exchange on Monday. The Herald an
the Times printed this poll yesterday morning
The Ercning Post took great comfort from tn
poll. The poll, as printed in the Herald and tn
Times, said that 2l5 members OF the Produc
Exchange had signed a paper giving thei
preference for Low. The Times printed wha
purported to be a list of the signers.
The annual report of the Produce Exchang
for the present year shows that there are 1923
members of that institution. Many members d
business on the Exchange and live in New JeI
scy or In other places not within Greater Me-
York. or the list published in the Timt
twenty-four do not appear in the membershi
list of the Produce Exchange and about fifty
those published In the Times. on careful searcl

York city OF Brooklyn for the current year. I'll
