HURTING GEORGES PROSPECTS.
What is Thought of His Western
POpuiistic support.

Some Of the free silver democrats who
were strongly favorable to Mr.. George in
mis- candidacy for mayor of Greater New
York when he was first nominated have
since modified their views. They are
neither as certain OF his election, nor as
sure that they favor his election. His as
ISOLATION with the Citizens Union and dec
laraton that he is not personally Il silver
standing OF his ticket in the business COM
Tnunity of New York. has greatly cooled
the ardor of radical silver men.
But what is regarded the serious mis-
take of the George campaign-the thing
calculated to destroy his prospects of cleo
tiCn If he ever had any-iS the prominence
given to his single tax and socialistic
theories. The active participation of ex-
Representative Tom L. johnson and other
Georges campaign and the enthusiasm
which his candidacy has aroused among
TIE Kansas populists. under the leadership
of Jerry Simpson. is believed to have Sc
ricusly weakened Mr.. George.
This interest III his canvass. felt by the
cement which is most feared by the bust
ness men. appears to contradict the
assertion that no harm can come from
the election of the leading theorist on
those lines to a purely local office. The
subscriptions of money by Kansas popu-
lists and the avowals of support from
Jerry Simpson are regarded indicating
that the socialists. poDulists and single tax
advocates regard his election as important
TO the advancement of their political
future
The belief is entertained that Mr.
Georges canvass is rapidly making his
theory of government the paramount issue
to be considered in voting for or against
him.

SOLD THEIR cERr1FrcAr1ss.
. Cafflemen Did Not Deal Honesty
With the GOYernnieiit

with the Government.
Commissioner of Immigration Powderly
has revoked the circular issued by his pre-
decesSor in 1894, authorizing the granting
Of certificates Of Remittance to cattIemen
crossing to Europe with cattle Hundreds
of men cross the water yearly in charge Of
American cattle goirg to European mar
-kets. The certificate given them was to
avoid complications at the ports upon their
return.
Commissioner Powderly has received in
formation from American consuls that cat
tlemen have been selling these certificates
to anarchists and others DESTROYS of es-
Gaping to this country. They received from
s. to 500 for their certificates. Many of
the cattlemen are foreigners by birth.
When they crossed with cattle they would
take their naturalization papers with them
in addition to their certificates. They
would sell the certificates and had no rrou-
HE in re-entering en- producing their citi-
Zenship papers. Hereafter cattlemen who
are not native or naturalized citizens will
have to prove their occupation and go
through the same investigation given to
regular immigrants. Commissioner Pow
derby says it Is too dangerous to longer
continue the issuing of certificates.
Jose Ventre, the French anarchist who
went 10 Mexico. with, the intention of re-
embarking for this country, Is having a
hard time. Mexico and this country are
both on his TRAIL and neither will let him
land. He got on vessel, at Tampico to go
to Vera Cruz Mexico. The authorities at

Where he will be landed next he probably
does not know himself. He Is literally

WILL MIGRATE TO MEXICO
Cherokee and Choctaw Indians Negotiating
for New Home.
Secretary Ivry Says the United States
Has Not Kept Its Promises
With Indians.

ST. LOUIS, Octobee 1S-A special to the
Republic from Chelsea, l. T., says: Much
excitement has been caused by the pro-
posed emigration of the Indians to Mexico
next spring, when the proposed United
States laws are to be put into effect in the
territory. 1t seems that the colony Is or
ganized and 5nly awaiting the time to go.
A. E. Ivry a leading fuIlbiood, who is
secretary of the association, and who " as
in this city, said: You may say it is on
foot. 1t is a big move. l have all the
plans and details, but cannot give them
out. There are Cherokee and Choctaw rep
resentatives in Mexico now. 1t is to be
hoped, though. that our people will never
be driven from their homes here by the
harsh action of Congress. This country is
dear to our people. They bought and paid
for it. The United States pledged its
solemn vow that it should be the home of
our people for all time but it begins to
look as if that pledge is to be broken. If
We are forced tC give up our lands and
government. you may be sure we will place
no further dependence in anything the
United States may agree to do, but Will
place ourselves under the protection of a
government that has some regard for its
treaty promises.
Communication is going on among cur
people and the Mexican government, and
the prospect that we shall reach a satisfac-
tory agreement for removng to that coun-
try IN body is good. Our intention is to
arrange to nave an Independent state in
Mexico, a purely Indian state, of course
All this depends upon what action Con-
gress takes in regard to our people If we
are forced into a territorial government
under the United States laws and our self
government, guaranteed to us by solemn
treaty. is abolished, then you will see us
pull up stakes, sell all we have and land in
Mexico Central or South America. Our
minds are made up, and negotiations look
ing toward the proposed exodus are far
advanced"
