NEW YORK, Oct, l3.-The process of
lining up for the municipal election OF
November is progressing steadily,
though not without an occasional jerk
or jolt, A gap stlll exists in the place
where there should be o candidate for
the office OF comptroller on the Jeffer-
sonian Democratic, or Georgete ticket,
Col. Waring having declined the nomi-
nation in a letter so timed as TO give
the managers an opportunity TO fix It
without undue haste, It remains tobe de-
cided whether the name OF Ex-Post-
master Charles w. Dayton shall be
substituted.
Mr.. Dayton tonight informed the
chairman OF the Henry George cam
paign committee that he would accept
the nomination for comptroller on the
Henry George ticket. He will probably
be nominated tomorrow by the George
committee, and an effort will be made
to withdraw Charles s. Fairchlld, Cit
izens' Union candidate for comptroller
and substitute Dayton, thus making
him the candidate OF two parties
The protest against the Citizens
Union ticket being given place upon
the official ballot are so drawn that al
most any line of attack may be based
upon 1t. The probability, however is
that the petitioners will seek TO estab-
lish that the signatures to the petition
which make Seth Low and his conferees
candidates for office In the eye of the
law are not genuine, and that they were
not properly attested, the ground being
taken that each signature should have
been attested by notary, Instead OF,
as was done, In "blocks OF 20" This lat
ter plan was followed to save expense.
and because signatures were collected
upon sheets headed by the petition
and lined for twenty-five names. The
issue Will be tried before the board OF
police commissioners tomorrow.
Henry George tonight issued state
ment putting the stamp of approval
on the deal made between his commit
tee and the Citizens Union as to the
New York county ticket,
Mr.. George said to-day; THAT can
defeat both Van Wyck and Tracy, do
mot feel the slightest doubt. In my
opinion the issue Is solely betweeen
Mr.. Low and myself. think shall
beat him."
Gen. Benjamin +. Tracy, the Repub-
llcan nominee for mayor, received
rouslng welcome from the residents of
the lower east side when he made his
appearance tonight at ratification
meeting, which was held in the Wind
sor theatre. Congressman John Muir
ray Mitchell presided, and when he
mentioned General Tracy's name in his
opening address some one In the att
dience shouted;
Hes got more brains than all OF
them" and the general laughed.
GeneralHFrGey, after decribinS the on
erous duties which will fall on the
shoulders OF the coming executive, OF
the consolidated city, said in part: "A
modern school of doctrlnaires have
sprung up among you, college profess
sors who declare that political parties
must not have anything to do, cannot
be permitted to participate In this
election in Greater NewYorlt, and there
fore n self appointed Citizens Union
has arisen in your midst TO divide the
vote and throw the election to Tam
many Halt II possible. They have said:
'we-theae $50 candidates-we will
nominate your candidate, and You must
elect him at the risk OF being accused OF
throwing the election to Tammany'
"They have insulted the Republican
party, though Its leaders have over and
over again sought conferences, and
were turned aside with contempt. The
Republicans have, therefore, nominated
their own candidates, and Will fight to
a finish.
The unorganized Citizens Union can
not succeed-cannot control even a
considerable number OF votes. Organi-
zatlon Is as necessary in politics as In
the army. The history of independent
movements prove this. Discipline and
association, acquaintance, trust and
condolences in each other Ii essential In
all great movements"
Senator John NJ. ThurstoH, of Ne
braska, and District Attorney olcoti
also spoke.
Seth Low spoke at three meetings on
the east side tonight. Al each he was
very much the same in words and In the
subjects discussed.
He said that Republicans ought to feel
free and happy to support the cause for
changed their minds since last election,
and II changes did not occur elections
would all turn out the same. He said
the people this year were engaged In a
great struggle in the interests OF
Greater New York. Men who said they
would not go with Republican organiza-
ton this year because they thought
the organization was wrong, were men,
They who cast thoughtful vote
served their party best Last simmer
he said. l25,O0O people had expressed
their desire for his nomination and
election. These were some of the rea.
sons why good Republicans should en-.
dorsc the Citizens Union movement.
Mr.. Low denounced bosses, and said
that the hands OF machine candidates
would be tied by promises made to fur
ther their respectful organizations In
the event Of their election.
