work. one of which is to have men in every
election district to seek votes for him and
George. The post office clerks, too. sent
representatives to promise their support,
and the candidate for controller is happy.
He was asked about the meetings in
Brooklyn Wednesday night. What do you
think of Tammanys claim of more than
100000 votes?" ITS The usual bluff. 1t
amounts to nothing. They are forgetting
the silent vote and their reckoning with
it will surprise them. They claimed $4,000
plurality for Grant in 1894, and he was de-
feated by just about that number CT votes
Tammnny Uneasy About George.
That Tammany is worrying about George
is evident from the blast which comes from
the Van Wyck headquarters Vim the shape
of long statement designed to show that
the prominent labor leaders who were with
Mr.. George in 1856 are not with him today
The list is headed with the name of r V.
Powderly, and includes Samuel Gompers

DAILY. Later the announcement was made
that demonstration of trades and la Dor
union men who favored the election of
Judge Van WyCk would be held al Cooper
Union a week from Saturday night Tam
many Is going to make this ,lemonstra ion
as effective as possible. 1t is the belief CT
the managers of the Van Wyck campaign
that if on the eve of election they can Pack
Cooper Union with workingmen the George
movement will be greatly weakened
Among the speakers scheduled to talk at
this meeting are Amos j. Cummings, Will
lam SulZer, Thomas F. Grady and William
Sohmer. The Tammany bicycle parade will
take place Saturday night. A grand stand
will be built on the Boulevard, from which
Judge Van Wyck will review The column.
The Tammany candidate rides a wheel
The betting is still y. to that Van Wyck
will be elected, and small odds are given
that Low will poll more votes than Tracy
Republican Claims.
From strong republican source there
comes what is stated to be a calm con-
sideration of the result of this campaign.
A large Vote for Henry George is conceded
Besides the di: tracton of Tammany votes
to George it is asserted there will also
be loss of democratic votes to Low The
number. it is said is not likely to be large,
but will serve to divide still further the DEM
ccratic vote and to that extent will mill
tate against Van Wyck's chances. Put
ting together the loss to George and to
Low it is asked how the remainder lett
to Tammany can be enough to elect it's
ticket? A careful resume of the situation
and a grouping of figures IS made with
the above question as basis, the conclu-
sion reached being that the election of
General Tracy is assured under present
conditions if the republican strength is
concentrated on him.
The republican campaign is to be made
exceedingly spirited beginning with Mon
day evening next. Next week there will
be big mass meetings nightly in every
great hall In the city and every republican
of repute in national and state affairs who
can will take the stump for General Tracy
The campaign is to end October 30 with a
great demonstration in Carnegie Hall. or
course there will be one or two meetings
after that, but they will not be of much
importance. Mr.. Quigg will preside at
the meeting in Carnegie Hall. General
Tracy will speak at most of the big meet
ings. as his program has been so arranged
that he can divide his time between the
boroughs Of Manhattan and Brooklyn.
