the Tracy and Low factions will have
the National Democracy votes of last
year and. say about 5000 other mug
wumps, making 1900 altogether, car
rying their combined votes up to 49,
600. The residue of $4,000 votes will
swell the Democratic column, making
its total strength 149, 900, conservative
estimate.
In Brooklyn the registration is 204.-
600. of which 194, 900 votes will be
polled- A conservative estimate gives
the Democrats $4,000, leaving $4,000 TO
be divided otherwise. Tracy and Low
are apportioned IS, 800 of these. Henry
George, he assumes, will get 5000. The
remaining $4,000 votes include the 5000
that We're with Shepherd in 1895, and
these are credited to Tracy and Low,
5000 to the Socialists and 600 to the
Prohibitionists. The remaining 10000
votes must be put into the regular
Democratic column, making the entire
number there 1880.
The Democrats will get 30 per cent
of the vote in Queens and a large per
cent of the votes to be cast in the
borough Of Richmond. Putting the
figure stogether, Leader Grant says
they show that Judge Van WICK will
receive 100000 votes out of 527,5OO votes
cast.

COUNTING CHICKENS.
Array of Figures Presented
Tracy's Committee.


New York. Oct. 31-The Republican
committee confidently anticipates the
election of General Tracy and each of
the Republican borough tickets. 1t be-
lieves, according to a statement issued
today, that the vote for Henry George
in the boroughs of Manhattan and the
Bronx will considerably exceed the
vote of the Citizens union. 1t is abb
solutely confident that Seth Low will
not carry a single assembly district in
the present city of New York, and the
only one where there is really any con-
test between Tracy and Low is in the
Twenty ninth district, which Tracy
will, they say, carry over Low by fully
1000 votes. The majority by which
Governor Black defeated Porter last
year will be just about the majority
by which Tracy vii! defeat Van Wyck.
In the borough of Brooklyn, Tracy will
beat Low two to one. The statement
concludes:
I'VE expect to poll 10000 votes for
Tracy in New York and the Bronx,
10000 in Brooklyn, 10000 in Queens and
5000 in Richmond, and we expect that
vote to carry with it a plurality on
each borough. The claims of the Citi-
zens' union are moonshine. They are
without form and void. OF the vote
of the 800, 900 which it is expected will
be polled in the boroughs of Manhat-
tan and Bronx, Former Mayor Hugh
j. Grant estimated that $4,000 will be
cast for the regular Democratic nomi-
nee, which is 3S per cent, or last years
average, which was low one. This
will leave 10000 votes to be otherwise
distributed.
Assuming that General Tracy and
Mr.. Low will have 117,O00 votes to di-
vide at the outset, there still remain
6S, 600 votes The Socialists must be
credited with 10000 and the Prohibi-
tionists with 1000. There will be 81 900
left. OF these Henry George will get
literally, and may be credited with
10000 OF the remaining $4,000 votes,

DIED A MARTYR.
Eulogy of Dr.. Savage In New York's
Church of the Messinh.

New York. Oct. 31.-"An Ideality'
was the subject of the sermon delivered
today by Rev Minot J. Savage in the
Church of the Messiah. During his
discourse the preacher said that Henry
George was a man who. through his
life, eonsecrated himself to the welfare
of the people.
He poured out to the people," said
DR.. Savage, the sympathy of his heart
as well as his physical strength, and he
died literally a martyr 10 his cause He
is a man to hold up for emulation and
magnificent spirit and conservation
which he gave himself. heart and soul
to his cause. IF we only had 10000
men who cared half as much for the
city's welfare as Henry George did, it
would be one of the most glorious cit
les of the world. We need men who ap-
preciate the Importance of making this
a glorious city.

OHIO WILL BE CLOSE.
Democrats Claim They VIII Win on
CHANGES Of Cities.

Cincinnati, Oct. 31-There were many
bets taken here last night and today
on the result of the election. The bet
ting was limited to Ohio. Odds were
given on the Republican state ticket,
but the offers of even money on the
legislature were not wanted. Odds
were asked on the fusion ticket in
Hamilton county, but the betting was
mostly even. The betting fraternity
are carefully reviewing the figures Of
former years, as well as political con-
ditions.
The Democrats elected James e.
Campbell governor, with full sta-e
ticket, in 1889, and secured a legis-
laiture that elected Calvin S. Brice SEN
ator. Then followed the large Repub
lican pluralities by which Mckinley
was elected governor in 1891 and 1893.
In 1894 the Republican plurality was
1877, 0S6, the LARGEST ever known in the
state. Two years ago, Governor Bush
nell had a Republican plurality of 3d.,
622, ard the legislature that elected
Senator Foraker had a majority on
joint ballot of So
Last year Ohio gave Mckinley a
plurality Of 81, 109 for president, and 1T
is with this vote Of last November for
president that the vote of next Tues
day will be compared. Last year the
Republican pluralities were largely in
the cities. Hamilton county gave a
Republican plurality of nearly 10000
and Cuyahoga county of over 1900
fractional troubles at Cincinnati and
Cleveland are expected to reduce these
pluralities. As the polls close at pm.

Columbus, O.. Oct S1-In reply to
a question in regard to the probable
results of the elections on next Tues

L have carefully considered and ex-
amired the results of the polling of
the state made by the various county

of the chairman as to the result in
their counties independent of the

tory for the Republicans, not only on
the state ticket but in the general as
sembly. During the last ten days the
Republicans have shown great activity,
and the dangers from apathy which
seemed to exist for a time, has passed
away. I believe the total vote of
the state will be as large, if not larger
than it was in 1895. The Republican
state committee approaches the cleo

DR.. ABBOTTS ADDRESS

Dr.. Abbott spoke in his customary
manner, calm, critical and judicious,
yet with much earnestness. He avoided
anything like extreme eulogy, especial
ly as regards Mr.. Georges political
teachings, but his praise for him as a
man had no bounds.
He began with the statement that
those who agreed in part and disagreed
IN part with Henry George, and even
! those who disagreed almost entirely
with him. could unite in the expression
OF their admiration for his character
and their love for him as man.
What is it to follow Christi" asked
Dr Abbott. rs ii not to show the
spirit of Christ himself? No one,
think. was animated more clearly by
MS spirit. No one more faithfully fol-
lowed his statements than he whose
sudden death we are called here to
mourn. Many men try to follow him,
more, l think, than in any previous
age"
DR.. Abbott also spoke in the highest
praise of the Intellectual side of Henry
George. He said Mr.. Georges mastery
OF the English language, his ability to
put things in the most forcible posi-
bly, way and his genius for arousing
enthusiasm would have placed him in
almost any position in public life, if
/ he had been content to be merely a
politician. But he was not self
seeking man. In fact, the speaker said,
ne had never met a man who gave so
little thought as to the effect upon
/ himself and his own fortunes, of his
public utterances, as Mr.. George. He
was mar of unfinching courage and
he had unquestioning faith that there
is good in God, who does not design
his children live in degradation and
! wretchedness. To do something to lift
Gods children to better plane had
been the object of Henry Georges life.
RABBI GOTTHEIL
Rabbi Gottheil spoke next. saying:
Before the contest is decided. in which
this brave man staked his life. death
has cast his irrevocable vote in favor OF
him and crowned him victor in the
race for a crown that outshines and viii
outlast the transient triumphs of the
coming battle. It is race for worthy
manhood and a benefactor of his kind.
Friend and foe stand side by side in
reverent awe by his lifeless frame. A
wall of grief is heard from all parts of
the country, and once more the old He
brew maxim is confirmed: The truly
wise are greater in their death than in
their ives -
