The entrance Of the Rev. DR.. Park
hurst as a combatant is one of the not
able incidents of the campaign DR..
Parkhurst is in Switzerland, but he
has written letter on the issues of
the canvass. He finds himself support
ing Low, in spite of the latters avoW-
ed opposition to sumptuary laws.
What the clergyman finds to approve
most in the college president is his
declaration of independence of party
and individual dietation. To DR.. Park
hurst's thinking, "Plattism," as he
terms the Republican organization, Is
more to be condemned than Croker
ism," which represents the regular
Democracy In the municipal campaign.
If the last one Of the 561, 900 register
ed voters of Greater New York Is not
out at the polls on Nov. 2, it will not
be for lack of 'exhortation and all
shades and degrees Of eloquence. IT
Is doubtful if there was ever a local
canvass in which men Of more note
took active part than are participating
in the pending campaign.
Betting continues to be feeble and
without significance. One table in a
paper supporting Mr. Low gives the
following as prevailing odds Van
Wyck against the field, to 2; Van
Wyck against Tracy, 4 to 1; George
against the field, to IL; Low against
the field. 1 to 2. There is no record.
however, of any considerable sums
have been placed at these odds.
