The London papers are manifesting a
very lively interest in the New York mu-
uicipal campaign, and as usual their com
ments are more or less amusing. For ex-
ample. the London Globe says:
Judging from the Times despatch,
Horny George will be the next Mayor.
Tie Americans do not exceed quarter of
the W hole population, and the European
anarchists, socialists, Italians, Poles,
Hungalians and Russians, all tile very
low est OF their race, will support the
man whose childish economics and wild
theories are derided in every capital of
Europe. These being the people who
sway puplic opinion, it is the height of
absurdity to rave about blood being
thicker than water
The New York Herald goes to the I'M
necessary trouble of disproving these alb
Su1d statements, which it characterizes
as false and calumnious. The London
Times champions the candidacy of Seth
