MIR Low is a Brooklyn boy. and on account OF M
experience as Mayor OF Brooklyn is better equlppc'
for the place than any one who has Deen taikc,
about I am free to say that believe tna' ANY any
attempt to capture the Twenty-third NaTd de;e
gates for any other than Low will result IN the
most dismal failure. ,. -. ,.o,,
Revenue was yesterday afternoon ne had not
seen the interview with Mr.. Atterbury. but he de-
clared that he was in favor OF Mr.. Low for Mayor
and added that the ward was enthusiastically II
favor of him. . ,
Mayor Wurster was told about the interview OF
Mr. Atterbury and asked II he shared the views
of the Twenty third Ward leader He declined tc
discuss the Interview, and when asked his position
along general lines, said: with reference to Re
publican candidate for the consolidated city be
ieve in the first place that the greatest discretoI
should be exercised in order to nominate mar
who will win. He should nave character and all
around fitness that will stamp him as worthy o
holding the chief magistracy of the great cliN
which is 10 be. In order to select that Kind OF q
man all the different organiza ons which believe II
keeping Tammany Hall out OF power should get TO
gether tremendously. II this Is not done. and i
the different organizations naturally antagonistic e
Tammany go off and nominate a candidate OF theil
own, shall easily be defeated"
