TAMRANYs CANDIDATE IS NOT IN IT.


New York, Oct. Henry Georges
claim that he Is the regular Dem
ocratic candidate Tor mayor OF
New York has called forth OK
prcssions from members of the
Democratic national committee. w. II.
White, member FOR Washington. tele-
graphed to Henry George: The Dem
ocratic party Of the state of Washing
ton send greeting. In the movement
you are the representative of Jener-
| sonlan Democrat. Your selection as
mayor Of Greater New York will bring
assurance to the Democracy of the
West ana South. Mammon Worship
pers have not throttled their love for
free government in the East and IN
1900, as a united and purified party,
we viii move forward in u glorious
national victory"
The Herald prints dispatches from
Democratic national committeeman as
follows:
w. S. Holiday, Indiana: AS
Democrat l recognize but one author
ity in determining Democratic poll
cies on questions that are national In
their scope-thc Democratic national
convention. If the Democratic party
Is to continue national in it's policies
and therefore national in its character,
all true Democrats must accept the
platform adopted by the last national
convention-the Chicago platform
until the principles or policies set
forth IN said platform are settled,
Democrats throughout the country, l
believe, regard the result Of the pend
ing campaign in Greater New York OF
being of such national significance
that It will affect the Democratic par
ty for good or in In the campaign Of
1900. II I am permitted the opinion,
no Democratic faction In any state IN
the United states will change the pur-
nose OF the Democratic party as set
forth in the Chicago platform. That
party in New York that accepts the
Chicago platform ought to have the
support Of all Democrats"
Thomas G. McRae. Arkansas: THE
| Chicago platform is the latest authen-
tic declaration Of Democratic taith
and ! believe It Is the duty of al
Democrats to support candidates who
stand upon 1t Ia preference to those
who ignore it,
j. NJ. Head, Tennessee: 81 certain
~ believe that the compliance with
the Chicaro platform should be in
sisted upon. Any organization claim
ing TO be Democratic which absolute
ly refuses to endorse the national
platform has no claim upon the sup
port OF the Democratic voters. l am
not sufficiently advised as TO the rules
Of the party organization in your state
to venture an opinion as to who IL the
regular nominee but MIR. Van Wyck
certainly cannot lay any claims to IT.
John Gilbert, Shunlslln, Indiana.
Were l in New York | should support
Henry George because he is the only
exponent among the candidates for
mayor of the principles decided on II
the Chicago convention, absolute 10y
atty to which Is the test Of the true
Democracy"
j. G. Dudley Texas: THE Demo
Gratis who fought the battle of lStu
should Insist that the support Of the
| Chicago platform and It's nominees
shoul' be the test. ! cannot see how
the Democrats who supported the
Chicago platform and Its nominee
can vote ticket nominated upon
platform which Ignores the Chicago
platform, and especially when there
is ticket in the field reattirming tia
Chicago platform. They cannot afford
to compromise principles
George Ainslle Idaho: Every
Democrat in New York should sap.
port Henry George. a candidate who
does not stand up for or endorse tho
Chicago platform has no claim TO
Democratic support. Such men
elected Mckinley and to be consistent
they should support Tracy. Their pre-
tense Of being Democrats is but
repetition of the incorporating in the
liens skin"
j. II. Townsend. Oregon:
Il believe the Chicago platform rep
resents the principles of the Demo-
cratic party, and know of no reason
why any organization other than
national convention should presume to
enunciate the principles of the party"
Benz. r.. Tnlman. South Carolina:
1.-THE present situation in New York
City is most interesting and of nation
al Importance. The result will show
whether there are patriotism and man
hood enough in the people to give
themselves honest government and
save themselves from slavery TO
money. NanWyck does not represent
Democracy but was nominated by
corrupt organization, hungry for the
loHves and fishes and too c0wardly to
fight for principle.
Henry George is the only Democrat
running for mayor in New York city,
and all true Democrats will support
him whether he is victorious or not
As q member of the national commit
tee / viii vote for the recognition OF
him and his followers as the only rep
resentativcs Of Democracy in New
York city"

Frank Campbell, New York; John NJ
J. McHattcn, Montana; Bradley y.
