MR., LOWS ACCEPTANCE.

VIII Mako tho Run For Mayor OF
Greater New York.
North East lIarbor, Me, Sept. %.-seth
Low has signitied his acceptance Of the
nomination as mayor of greater New
York, rendered him by the borough
committees of the Citizens union. He
was notified of his nomination by ]. c.
Clark, special messenger of the Cit
izens' union. In reply Mr.. Low read
prepared statement. In substance as
follows:
"As soon as l can I shall prepare a
letter formally accepting the nomina-
ti0n for mayor of New York offered me
by the Citizens union, acting on be-
half of its own membership of 25,GOO
citizens, and also on behalf of 100000
other citizens, who, without regard to
party affiliations, have expressed over
their own signatures the desire that
should be nominated and elected.
TN my view, the nomination has thus
been virtually already made by the peo-
pie. No patriot, under such circur-
stances could decline to stand unless
he were prepared to discourage, even in
local matters, all spontaneous move
ments by the people outside of the lin
iiations of party.
II am not so vain as to believe that
the unprecedented expression of pop
ular confidence Is in any overwhelm-
ing sense a personal tribute only. I
thing 1t rather means that the people
are deeply moved by the desire that,
when the great city begins it's new ca
reer, it shall do so with mandate from
the voters to the officials Of the city
thot the welfare Of the city not of any
party, Is to be their first concern. For
that principle I am known to stand.
For It I shall contend in the coming
campaign, with such allies as time may
bring. but for 1t I shall stand, be my
friends, few or many.'

barns. The robbers informed their VIC

of where all their money was
to be found would prevent both from
being cremated. Bull protested that he
had no money. The robbers then set

obtain and pay them $500 the fire was
