IT IS WON IN WoRDs.r
Senator Platt Tells How tho Republicans
win Elect the Mayor of New York.

New York, Oct. Ex-senator Plat
has given out a statement in which he
says:
General Tracy has won the election.
There are three Democratic candidates
in the field among whom the Demo-
cratic vote will be divided. The Demo-
Gratis have never had majority in the
territory now consolidated since the
enactment Of the present election
law. They used to have majorities, any
kind of majority that suited their
taste and convenience. They had alb
solute control of the electoral machine
cry at every poll.
Whatever their present vote may
be 1t is going to be divided between
Van Wyck, George, Low and Geason.
Van Wyck will probably get the most
of 1t, George will get n huge portion
of It, and Low viii get a substantial
remainder. Low is the candidate OF
four Democratic organizations, the
ship Democracy, the CARGO Democracy,
the Purroy Democracy, and the Steck-
Ter Democracy. More and more as the
canvass has proceeded he has become
identified before the public with the
Democratic party. He Is the embodi-
ment Of the hOlier-t han-thou of the
Cleveland party. He is a revival Of
Clevelandlsm. He has the support OF
all that noisy and insolent crowd that
grovels at the feet of Cleveland, He
has been brought forward as the eN-
preston of their notions and their
hopes and that which makes their sue
cess impossible is that fact, now so
clearly presented In the minds OF the
community. that through Low this
Cleveland clique are endeavorinB 20
recover their lost prestige for use in
1900.
THE Republican vote on the other
hand IL consolidated upon single
