TO WORK HARD FOR MR. LOW.
Many were the opinions expressed in Brook
Ign yesterday on the results to be expected from
the Citizens Unions nomination OF President
Low The Democrats, by no means the least
interested observers of the dongs In the anti
Tammany camp, made no attempt to conceal
their satisfaction. They consider the nomina-
ton q sure sign of a Democratic victory feel
ing confident that the Republicans VIII stand
bv Chairman Qugg's declaration that Citizens
Union nomination would make a Republican
nomination of him impossible.
The nomination Of INFLOW said Mr.. worth
"is gratifying to me. because. az have SAID all
along the people want him. and he Is the only
man talked Of.
When asked II he thought Mr.. Quigg would
| adhere TO his determination TO run straight
ticket, Mr.. Worth said
"No man. no set OF men, no organization that
can eypect to retain the confidence or the peo-
| nile will contemplate such STEP 1t would be
| political suicide.

| would come a. time when the expediency OF the
| oor,v selection OF Mr. Low would be recognized
| nv the very men who yesterday brought II
| about The threat of placing straight ticket
IN the field against Low would IL carried out. de-
| moralizc the party to such an extent that IL
would take years TO recover from it. DO not
| feel that there is that degree OF imbeciiity
among Quiggs men. Such threats as those OF
| Ouige and Gibbs silly. foolish and unworthy
Of attention. Let me tell you that in my opin-
ION when the time comes there will be no oppo-
! sition 10 Low"
Commissioner Willis will say only that he
| stands by his recent statement, which pre-
| dicted trouble as the result OF Union nomi-
nation before the Republicans had time to act.
When pressed for fuller statement last even
ing he said merely:
"To-dav's action Of the Citizens Union was
very Ill advised l have no prophecies to make
| concerning its probable results"

the action taken by the Union. but they vii

All persons who are willing to talk about the
subject, with the possible exception OF the VIII
,is men. still hope to see Mr.. Low become the
candidate Of the united anti-Tammany forces
but the Willis-Atterbury men profess 10 De

A leading member Of the Committee OF Fifty

of Fifty when / say that, although we regre
to-day's action of the Citizens Union. we De
lieve Mr.. Low will accept the nomination. an'
we intend to conduct the lveliest kind OF a cam
paign for him. We did not believe in deliber

sides we hoped to be marching against Tam
