>. of A. X.
At a meeting of the Society of the Sons
Of the Revolution at the Ebbitt House last
evening the constitution Of the Society of
the American Revolution was accepted.
This action was in furtherance of the move
ment to unite the two societies, with the
same purpose in view, but which have
heretofore operated separately. The reso-
luton was introduced by Mr.. Beale, chair
man of the District of Columbia delegation
to the Cincinnati convention of the two
societies, that met October u last. There
was a lively opposition maintained by the
minority, led by F. w. Hackett, but the
resolution was declared adopted, the vote
being A to 8. A point of quorum was
raised by Mr.. Hackett, but before any de-
cision was reached a motion to adjourn
was adopted, and the membership proceed
ed to enjoy a luncheon.
In the course of the discussion 1t was
stated that one-fourth of the membership
of the society constituted a quorum, and
that the members numbered 24O. The cleo
ton Of officers and the consideration of
other business went over until the next
meeting.
In the absence of the president, Admiral
Walker, and the vice president, Mr.. Cox,
Mr.. Justice Brewer presided. Prayer was
offered by Rev. DR.. Mckim, the chaplain
IF the society.

He said the city had not had a hook and ladder truck 'availaible for three years, and hs thought if one was purchased the in- surance ralte would be reduced. The department now depended on stairways and fire escapes. One could be pur- chased, ale said for s2,200. and the city would be gtIysn plenty of time to pay for it.
 Alderman McCartin said a truck was purchased several years ago for $500. and he had nayer heard of 1t being or- dered laid aside. He did not think the chiefs statement should go to the world.

would seem, was finally done.

The New York newspapers are engaged
in making canvasses of the voters of
Greater New York on the lnayoralty. OF
course such canvasses are not likely to be
very accurate, and they may be very in
accurate. A good deal depends upon the
purpose for which they are made. If they
are made for the sake Of helping along a
particular candidate more voters who
favor him than anybody else are likely to
be met with and the canvass is worthless
for any other purpose then to "boom"
this particular candidate. If they are
impartial, that is without reference to the
promotion Of the interests of any particu-
lar candidate they are likely to be worth
something as indicators OF the drift of
public sentiment. There is considerable
reason for believing that the canvasses
referred to are Of the latter kind and
therefore of some value. Assuming this
to be the case Mr.. Tracy has a poorer
chance of being elected than any Of the
other candidates. The comparative
standing of the others there Is disagree
ment about, but all agree in placing Mr.
Tracy at the foot of the poll. Some place
Van Wyck and some George in the lead
One Of the canvasses shows that out of
10000 voters interviewed, 1918 were
for Van Wyck; 31,516 for Low; 26,61a
for George. and 81 1871 for Tracy. Anoth-
er shows out of 1893, 500 voters interviewed,
1852 for Van Wyck; 81 ,416 for George;
A, 400 for Low and 30,9l5 for Tracy.
These figures show that there is no hope
Of the election of either Low or Tracy
while they both remain in the field, and
that only by union of almost all the
voters who are now supporting these two
candidates can tho defeat of Tammany be
accomplished. Unfortunately there is
very little chance of the withdrawal of
either INFLOW or Mr.. Tracy, and, there
upon. of the defeat of Tammany. Where
the responsibility lies for the division of
voters who ought to be together, because
they are really anxious for the same
things,-good government and the over
throw of Tamnany-is question about
which there is radical disagreement. The
Citizens Union which supports Low
place the responsibility upon Platt and
Quigg, while the latter vigorously assert
that it was the bumptiousness of the

the division. But however it was brought
about, it is here and apparently here to
stay until election day.
