For the past three years the CITY

The campaign committee of the Jeffer-

lowing:
The spontaneous and pathetic tribute

on Sunday night to the dead, has demon
strated beyond the shadow of a doubt
that Henry George, the father, would,
had God spared him to MS, have been

the complete victory of Henry George,

I'VE called the attention of demo-
cratic voters who hate and scorn the
| ignoble and corrupt men who have
seized the machinery of their party to
make it serve selfish and venal ends,
that that lifelong democrat and valiant
foe of bossism, Charles w. Dayton, still
leads in the battle of democracy of
Thomas Jefferson against the democrac cy
of Richard Croker.
ITO workingmen who, with heavy
hearts and bowed heads, saw the body
of the bravest champion borne to its
resting place, we declare that his work
is not ended, his principles survive, and
in contributing to the triumph of all he
contended for they serve themselves as
fully now as they could have the elder
George had he lived
"And we point to Jerome O'Neil as a
man nobly qualified to represent in pub
lie station the workingmen of the city
and we urge that the political strength
of the laboring masses will be meas
ured by his vote.
This is still, as it has been, the strug
gle of the people against the bosses

NEW YORK STATE CLOSE.
Democratic Judge Probably Elected
LEGISLATURE Probably Repub-
llc0n.

New York, Nov. 2.-Rain, which pre-
vailed generally all over the state, had
the effect of keeping a great many OF
the country voters away from the polls.
The result is apparent In the reduced
maiorities given in concedediy repuD-
lican districts to William J. Wallace,
the nominee for chief justice OF the
court of appeals, as compared with the
plurallties by which the same districts
were carried last year. In many dis
tricts the pluralities Of year ago arc
reduced nearly half, and in the few that
have been reported the falling of is less
than 25 per cent. Conceding to Judge
Parker, democrat, majority OF 100,
600 in Greater New York, it is proba.
BILE that he has won in the state.

tirely lacking in the Greater New York

| New York, Nov. 1.-The latest claims
| of the managers of the Greater New
York campaign were given out today
Chairman Quigg. for the republicans
said the county committee confidently
anticipated the election of Gen. Tracy
and feel absolutely confident that Seth
Low will not carry single assembly
district in the present city of New York.
According to Mr.. Quigg the ratio of
votes between Low and Tracy will be
three and half to one, and he expects
Tracy to poll total of 100000 votes.
EX-Mayor.. Hugh j. Grant, who is
Judge Van Wyck's manager, issued a
democratic candidates total vote in
Greater New York at 100000. OF these
he expects 100000 in the present city
of New York. $4,000 in Brooklyn and
5000 in the boroughs Of Queens and
Richmond. Mr.. Grant, in his forecast,
places the Henry George vote at from
10000 to 25,000 and gives Low and
Tracy 225, 200 to divide between them.
Charles Streckler, for the Citizens M
Low over Van Wyck in the present city
of New York, and in support thereof
gives figures from each assembly dis
trict, which, he said, are based upon
actual canvasses made by Citizens un-
ion workers. He added that certificates
and vouchers signed in all cases by the
men who made the canvass are on file
at Low headquarters.
At the George headquarters a detailed
statement by assembly districts was
given out to show that George will have
81 600 votes in the boroughs of Man
haitian and Bronx. No estimate was
made of the Brooklyn vote, but unless
an extremely large George vote is ex-
pected from that quarter 1t would ap-
pear by $1,000 estimates that the Jeffer-
sonian democracy leaders do not claim
the election of their candidate.

Albany, \. V, Nov. LIN every mu-
nicipality of the state n vigorous bitter
campaign is being prosecuted for muni-
cipal control The addition into the
campaign of judge of the court of up
peals has stirred the two great parties
to very active efforts in the cDdeavor,
not so much to gain the place for their
candidate as 10 demonstrate in this of
year of state politics that the party of
one or the other is dominant The dem
ocrats hope to demonstrate that they
are getting back to normal state and
recovering from the land slides of the
past few years, and the republicans seek
to show that such is not the case. The
assembly contests add some flavor to the
canvas. although there are no expressions
from the democrats that would lead to
the belief that they expect to control that
branch of he legislature. but only to re-
duce the majority.
To attempt to forecast the result with
any degree of certainty. would be impos-
sible, but it is claimed that in the entire
state the democrats will gain about
thirty members over the number last
year. This would give them sixty-fve
votes in the next session, as compared
with thirty-ive in the last. and would
leave the republicans with vote of
as compared with 115 last
year.

SCENE OF GREAT JOY.
Great Rejoicing Over the Tnmmany
Victory Mt Van Wyclx Head
Ounrtera

New York, Nov. 2-The headquarters
of Robert a. Van Wyck, at the Barthol-
di hotel, was the scene of great joy as
the returns began to indicate Il sweep
ing Tammany victory. A score or more
of people were in the rooms where the
returns were being received, and they
cheered continuously. But it was n
feast without the host. Mayor-clect
Van Wyck did not appear at the head
quarters at any time during the night.
He left the headquarters at 4 p. M, go
ing to police headquarters with former
Mayor Hugh j. Grant, where he en-
tered a private room in the Office of
boiler inspector. He stayed there until
Z o'clock, receiving returns. He then
left, presumably for the Murray Hill
hotel. 1t was expected he would be at
the headquarters some time during the
night, but at 10 o'clock the mayor
elects private secretary announced that
he would not be at the headquarters at
all and could not be seen.

Van Wycks Vote Is M Large rs
Trncy's and LOWS Combined.
New York, Nov. 2-At midnight ITO
out of the SS3 election districts in
Greater New York had been counted,
showing:
Van Wyck Tammany democrat), 123,-
Low Citizens union), G5,711.
Tracy (republican), 4S,787.
George Jefferson democracy, 10,617
Van Wyck's plurality, 1892.
Van Wyck at this time is shown to
have polled as large vote as both
Tracy and Low combined, while the
George vote, which week ago was re
garded with more or ess apprehension
and was expected to be anywhere from
65,O00 to 100000, has fallen TO almost
infnitesimal proportions. 1t is esti-
mated upon the basic Of the ballots al
ready counted that Van Wycks total
vote will be from 143,000 to 100000 in
Manhattan and the Bronx. 1900 in the
borough of Brooklyn, $500 in Queens
and 1900 in Richmond, or approximately
231, 900 votes in Greater New York.
Lows vote will be not far from 125,OO;
Tracy's 100000, and Georges 1900.
The total of 494 900 will not be materially
altered either way. Gleason's vote and
that of the socialist and prohibition
nominees will send the grand total to-
about the half million mark.

A GLUM CROWD.
The Gloom nj Tracy Headquarters
Was Distressing.

New York, Nov. 2.-Chairman Quigg
of the republican city committee was
very glum when he left headquarters ut
$40. He refused to make a formal
statement and was very 10th to discuss
the situation. At the headquarters
there were very few prominent repub-
licans present. and they left the place
shortly after Quigg did. No one. would
make statement. The republicans
kept up their appearance OF confidence
until the early returns showed the
gains for Van Wyck, and then collapsed
entirely.
II is impossible to describe the gloom
NJ the republican headquarters. If any
thing, the depression was more appar-
ent than at the George headquarters.
At o o'clock there were one or two re-
publicans about. Gen. Tracy did not
appear at headquarters at all.
