The extraordinary features of the
Greater New York" campaign
have been acceutuated by the sud
den death of Henry George, the can
didate of the Jeffersonian Democrats
for Mayor, at an early hour Friday
morning. la many respects the
New York municipal campaign is
one Of the most remarkable the
world has ever witnessed, it is
especially remarkable for the num-
Der of fatalities connected with it,
Mr.. George being the sixth eandi-
date to die during the contest.
Henry George was a most remark.
able character His career was ex-
tra2rdinary. From a poor and hum.
ole printer, and afterwards newspa-
per writer, he rose to wealth and
fame Such are the possibilities Of
American life that the deserving,
however humble their station and
lowlY their origin, can win their
way BY work and merit to high posi-
ton and honor Benjamin Frank
liz did it, Abraham Lincoln did it,
Daniel Webster did it, Henry Clay
dill Il, and Henry George did ii.

life was first made when he was a
compositor on San Francisco news
paper, at which time he sent a com
municaton, under a non, he plume,
to another paper published in that
city. The article was published,
and when the authors name became
known be was invited to accept a
position on the repertorial staff.
From this time on Mr.. George rose
rapidly and soon became an editorial
writer and then managing editor.
But it was not until his book,
entitled, progress aud Poverty,
was published that be became
famous Probably no political book
in modern times has excited the
general and widespread interest Of
Progress aud Povery. 1t has
since been translated into several
different languages, and the issue
has run into the millions. Another
one OF Mr.. Georges famous books IS
Protection or Free Trade. He
was an ardent advocate of the single
tax theory, as well as free trader.
Along in the sos Mr.. George
moved TO New York la 1896 he
was a candidate for Mayor, but was
defeated
During the present municipal
campaign in Greater New York
Mr.. George was nominated by the
Democrats opposed to the Tamma-
ay organization, who styled them
selves aJeffersonian Democrats.
At the time of accepting the nom
nation Mr.. George said I'll make
this race if it costs me my life. This
is call to duty, and as a good citi-
zen l have no righr to disregard it
on mere personal considerations.
Little did he dream that he spoke

the exaeting duties of the campaign
would cost him his life There
was never any show for his election:
his campaign was one Of principle
