NEW PHAsE.IN GEORGE RACE
Said That His Supporters VIII Indorse
Gtisem' Union Candidates.
Done to Make . Breach With the
0'Bf1en Democracy, Who First
Nominated George.

The most extraordinary turn Of affairs
in the Greater New York muddle yet re-
corded is the Endorsement of the Citizens
Union county ticket by the Henry George
people, announced last night. This is re-
garded as the most incongruous of all COM
binations.
The George ticket was put in the field by
Chicago platform democrats as a pro-
test against Tammany's alleged lack of
loyalty to DEN !ocracy. They would not
stand by the Tammany ticket because
Tammany failed to indorse the Chi
cago platform, though the candidates
The George people stood cut for fight
on principle" This makes the announce
Ment Of a deal between them and the Citi-
zens' Union, which is Numerically opposed
to the principles" George was to stand for,
most extraordinary.
One explanation made is that Mr.. George
was forced to do this in order to break
away from O'Brien, the head of the O. Brien
democracy, who is accused of having a
deal with Platt. OBrien's organization was
timated that the nomination was then
made at the instance of Platt to in1ure
Tammany.
Mr.. George did not accept a nomination
until it was offered him at a mass con-
vention, and it has been said that he was
avoiding Identification with O'Brien
Ine announcement Is that the Citizens
Union county ticket In New York county,
the Mclaughlin democratic county ticket
in Kings county, the Mullen democratic
ticket in Richmond, and the Madden DEM
ocratic county ticket in Queens are in
dorsed by the George campaign committee

THE LATE SENATOR MCPHERSON.
He Won High Reputation in the
Halls of Congress.

He Won High Reputation in the
Halls of Congress.
Senator Mcpherson, who died in New
York last night, enjoyed high reputation
in Washington. In the Senate he was re-
garded as one of the stroEg-brained men
of influence whose support strength
ened any cause and whose opposition was
to be dreaded. He was a well-read and
studious man. good lawyer, with a phil
osophlcal tendency of mind and forceful
speaker.
His appearance was striking. TALL slen-
der. with deep-seated and very brilliant
eyes, high forehead, promiI ent nose and
strongly marked features generally, he had
a distinguished belring which attracted at
tention to him both in the Senate and on
the street. In manner he was extremely
amiable and courteous, slow to display
either excitement or irritation.
At the outset of the political controversy
ever tie money question he took a strong
position against the unlimited use of sill
yer and was regarded as one of the able
financiers in the Senate. A. the time CT
the last presidential election he had re-
tired from the Senate. Though still adher-
ing to his belief in geld. he supported Mr..
Bryan as the regular democratic candidate.

RoOMED WITH DORSEY FoULTz.
Statement Made Today by Prisoner In
Police Court.

The much-wanted Dorsey Foultz figured
indirectly but very prominently today in
Police Court proceeding. Charles Gar
rett, colored, was arraigned as a vagrant,
and the story is best told by repeating the
testimony of Policeman Henderson, who
was the complaining witness.
Il found this man asleep in bus that
was standing on a vacant lot, fronting
Brightwcoi avenue said the policeman
When I questioned him in effort to
find out who he was and where he came
from, he said that he spent the preceding
night i'll a shack near Br:ghtwood, and
added that in the hut was short, dark
man armed with two big pistols. l told
him that the description answered that
of Dorsey Foultz and Barrett replied:
-" That's what he said his name was l
took the prisoner to Brightwood, but could
find no trace of Dorsey"
Garrett stated to Judge Kimball that he
came to this city from Richmond a week
ago, and has been working for a local paw
ing company The court was not fully
satisfied with the explanation, and in con-
sequence Garrett went TO the workhouse to
remain fifteen days.
