Mr.. QuiGE Talks TO Them on the Issues or the
Campaign.
Lemuel Z. Quigg went to Brooklyn yesterday
and made q brief address on the political situa-
ton before the Women Republican Union
League Club In its rooms in the Johnston build
ing. Mayor Wurster and Lieut-Gov. Woodruff
had been invited. but they sent letters OF regret.
The women's club WAS organized in tho heat Of
the last Presidential campaign to aid in stem
ming the tide of Brysn!sm. and this year the
great majority Of the members are true-hlue
Republicans and opposed to tho Mugwump
methods OF the Cts Union. Mrs. Kate Bost-
wick. the President of the club. came out
earnestly In support Of Gen. Tracy directly after
his nominations.
The proceedings yesterday opened with the
reading OF 4 paper by Mrs. Jane Pierce on Tho
Responsibility OF Party Nominations" Mrs.
Pierce took strong ground in favor OF the voting
hosts enrolling themselves under the standard
OF one or the other OF the great parties, and in
holding the parties to a strict responsibility for
their nominees. Mrs.iKate scrimgeour. who is
q Low admirer, asked:
What is the difference between the Republic
can par y and the Citizens Unionr
Mrs. Pierce replied: THE Citizens Union Is
simply a body Of $50 men. who got together and
important office. ! haven't a word to say as to
the candidate OF the Citizens Union. but I CUES

publicans had made to effect a real union OF all
the anti-Tammany organizations and how they
had been upset by the hesdstrong action of tho

whom belong to the Low University Settlement.
There was much handclapping when Mr.. Quigg
eulogized Gen. Tracy as a citizen. a Justice OF
the Court Of Appeals. n Union soldier. and as
Secretary Of the Navy. OF Mr.. Low he said:

FOR 4 HOT FIGHT IN BRooK1Yx.

In Tremendous Earnest.

Tho Executive Committee of tho Republican
County Committee in Brooklyn met last night
at its rooms in the Johnston building to arrange
for active campaign work. There were lndica-
tons, now that the battle for control of the
Greater New York is on in earnest, that all fac.
tional hostilitics would cease and both sides
work In earnest for the success OF the ticket.
Justice Bremen moved that an Advisory Com.
mitlee OF ten should be appointed to cooperate
with the committee OF nine, three from each
Council district IN brooklyn, in running the
campaign. sheriff ButtiinH was at first in.
olined 10 kick at the proposition, contending
that the rule of allowing the Executive Com,
mittee TO conduct tho canvass in It's own wav
should be observed. At the request OF several
OF his fellow committeeman he withdrew his
opposition, and Justice Brenner's resolution
was adopted.
The Republicans are determined to nut nm -,
strong fight in Brookiyn. Neither CUIptv
Clerk Worth nor Sherif Buttling takes am
stock In the variegatod Cts Union Shepardite
ticket, and there is no foundation for the rumors
which have been industriously circulated thai
they are contemplating a bolt to Low. They
made their fight A. the convention and then
propose TO abide by, its decision, sheriff
butting has assured Mr.. Atterbury, Mr.. Willis
ana their associates on the county ticket thai
they can depend on the earnest support OF his
tsction in the campaign and at the polls,
Neither he nor'any of his friends will make any

NaEFS SahCahe " hhFyAus
One or two OF the yellow journals of New York
have printed pretended polls OF voters and their
predictions concerning tho candidates for
Mayor OF Greater New York. One of tho polls
is printed by a paper that favors Seth Low. and
another by a paper partial to Henry George. In
both cases Gen. Tracy is put In tho background
by these pretended polls. Tho Republican man.
ayers said yesterday that they were we'll aware
why these pretended polls were printed. 1t Is
merely a now style of campaigning in New
York. 1t 10 old in Chicago.
For instance. all during the national fight n
year ago one of the Chicago newspapers printed
every morning a pretended poll OF the voters Of
Cook county. Every morning this newspaper
came out with its pretended poll, and
every morning tho poll showed that William
J. Bryan was far ahead in Cook county, and
would carry the county by at least 100. 600
majority. At first these pretended polls annoyed
Chairman Hanna OF the Republican National
Committee. but he quickly saw through the
scheme and diagnosed 1t as one TO create a
sentiment in Cook county favorable to
Bryan. The pretended polls of the two vel
low newspapers OF New York city. like the
pretended poll OF the Chicago paper. are but
thinly yelled schemes, the Republican managers
said. to create a sentiment in favor of the can
didates respectively advanced by these two
newspapers. Instead OF carrying Cook county
by 100, 600, as the pretended poll Of the Chi
cago newspaper said he would. Bryan was
beaten in Cook county by 69,677. In other
words. the pretended poll of the Chicago news.
paper was merely a fake and was demonstrated
to DO o most lamentable fake on election day
whom Mckinley swept Cook county.
