HENRY GEORGETALKS
HAS CONFIDENCE IN HIS
CAUSE.


NEW YORK, Oct. 5.-.The Journal
md Advertiser to-day prints an inter
view with Henry George. in which he
says: VI have been informed that
there is n panic In Tammany camp
The leaders are alarmed at the sud
den uprising OF men who are tired Of
the dcspotism OF the machine. Ac.
rording to all reports there Is good
rausc for fear, but IL is not confined to
the managers of any one party. OF
course, i am not speaking Of my "
knowledge. | only give what comes
10 mo from Trustworthy sources. Ac.
cording TO confidential information re.
'eivcd last evening, u hurry cali was
sent out to day by Tammany man.
ayers, %summoning tho district leaders
to immediate council. A great danger
was said to DO imminent. II was re.
ported that offers of substantial aid
for our movement had been made by
responsible men, who said they stood
ready to help tho cause in all dircc.
lions
II am willing to express myself
clearly on all the questions at issue.
Ny plan OF campaign is TO tell the
truth. l rave nothing to conceal.
The fact that | am a candidate for
mayor will not cause me to change
any OF my views. My opinions are
founded on principles that are not to
be changed because OF the campaign.
Am q free trader. 1t may prevent
somo persons from supporting me. IL
20, / cannot help IL; | am o adjust.
ing my views to the exigcncies Of a
political campaign. l am a free trader
pure and simple. l recognize no diff
ference between u national and mn.
nicipal campaign so far as honest pol.
itics are concerned. In both cases we
want honest mon who believe in an
honest administration of tho laws.
This is why | say the men were right
when they went before the grand jury
asking for an indictment of the tax
commissioners, and II they keep on
fighting they will surely win.
The Central Labor union has as.
sumed an impregnable position. II
demands hat the laws shall be en-.
forced without respect To- the rich.
And right here the principles OF single
tax como into play. Tho insurance
cases are particularly pertinent Just
now. Tho Central Labor union claims.
A. ] understand it, that the Equitable
Life Insurance company valued its
property at Si2, 900, 900 in its returns
made to the state insurance board ut
Albany, but when the local New York
assessor came around IL put in its
valuable property at 81, 900, 900. With
single tax in force, these robberies
n corruption OF men In office would
be avoided.
"lD regard to the silver question,
have nothing to conceal. | say now,
what | said repeatedly during the
Bryan campaign, that, while I was
supporting that gentleman and would
vote his ticket, l was not q belle yer in
the theory that silver was a remedy
Tor the evils that bcset the country.
1 shall discuss the silver question ex-
sctly as l discussed it during tho
presidential campaign. We have
nothing TO present but the truth.
Ws have no schemes, no secret policies
no political traps for our enemies
nothing but the cold naked truth. On
these lines we shall make our 6ght.
II our enemies can meet us on the
platform In public debate or wherever
they care to discuss the issue before
the voters, they will at least show
they are sincere in what they call
their convictions"
