The Republican campaign for Gen. Tracy is in
full swing. As each day passes the velocity and
momentum of tho Tracy boom has dissipated
the hopes OF the Tammany.Low-Georgo combine.
Henry George is eating into the vitals OF Tam
many Hall and the solidifed Republican party
and is gold Democrat allies are smashing Seth
Low. As an evidence that all tho friends of
good government are alive to the tremendous
importance OF the battle 1t may be announced
that as each day passes the great commercial
houses. the manufactures. and all others inter
ested In the financial and commercial supremacy
OF the metropolis are putting their shoulders to
the wheel for Tracy. sound money and good
government
These houses are daily receiving letters from
their correspondents in other States warning
them Of the keen interest Of all friends Of sound
money and good government In the result OF the
battle for Mayor of Greater New York. All Of
these letters call upon their brethren in the
business world to help stamp out the Tammany
Hall-Low.George combine. All over the United
States, 1t appears from these letters. those in
terested in the prosperity Of American institu-
tions are wrought up over tho battle In New
York. A merchant in Pennsylvania. writing to
his Now York correspondent, said:
Il can see plainly Low is but a pawn on David
Hills political chess-board. David could not go
back to the Senate and lose Greater New York,
He must divide opposition. and he has fixed the
Cts movement and got opposition to the Re-
publican candidate for Mayor and the Repub-
lican candidates for Assemblymen. No man in
New York desires the success Of the Republi-
can party moro than Plat. The would-be

who are playing into the hands of David
+. Hill. He is the power behind the throne,
and his goal is the Senate and then President
In 1900. Low is out Of the race; 30 Is George.
Lots Of loud-mouthed Low men will vote for
Van Wyck. The fight is between Tracy and
Tammany, and unless Republicans concentrate
on Tracy they are whipped and Hills triumph
10 complete. But few Democrats will vote for
Low when election day comes. Tracy must win
or Hill will be Senator and probably President
1t was admitted that the foregoing, SO far as
1t refers to Hill, is a somewhat new interpreta-
ton Of the situation. At first blush, 1t was re-
marked. there might be something in it. and yet
1t is known that hidden away in the Citizens
Union movement there is a candidate for United
States Senator to succeed the Hon. Edward
Murphy, Jr., of Troy. THE Sun called atten-
ton to this fact early last summer. As the
campaign progresses even the Low people
confess that there is no possibility Of electing
their man Mayor of Greater New York, but they
propose to keep up the fight just the same. In
other words, the Citizens Union, with Seth Low
at the head. is nothing but a club by which the
Republicans OF the State are to be smashed into
recognizing some Cit as q candidate for United
States Senator.
The Hon. Timothy ]. Woodruff, Lieutenant.
Governor of tho State, whose prowess as .
Republican warrior is now established. said OF
the situation: Zen. Tracy's election Is assured
II the trend toward his support continues dur
ing the next two weeks in the same volume as 1t
has during the past week. All sensible, thought
full men are realizing that there is no possibility
whatever of the election of Mr.. Low, and that
the only way to defeat Tammany Hall or Henry
George Is by supporting Gen. Tracy. There
are five candidates, including Mr.. Low,
who will divide the Democratic vote. while Gen.
Tracy has no one to divide the Republican vote
with him except Mr.. Low. and he will receive,
In addition to an overwhelming proportion of
the Republican vote, the votes OF those gold
Democrats who are more imbued with love Of
country than hatred of the Republican party. l
believe Mr.. Low will get as many Democratic
votes as Republican votes, and that even in
Brooklyn, where most Of his strength lies, his
total vote will not be half the vote cast for Gen.
