There is stack OF letters rs high ns your head
in Republican headquarters, l NJ ,dison avenue.
They represent but tho skirmish line OF tho
army Of $4,000 enrolled Republicans whom
the Republican campaign managers have
requested 10 take II personal interest in
the light for Gen. Tracy. These $4,000 enrolled
Republicans were written TO and requested 10
become personal cumpnignCrs for Gen. Tracy
aud tho Republican ticket. Thousands IN thou.
sands Of letters In reply have already been re-
ccivcd. Every one was a mimic ball for
the enemies of the ST. Lonis platform and
good government. Ncycr in any municipal.
state or national campaign conducted in New
York has there been such u hearty ununinity in
responding to the luminous of the Republican
Generals. All along the limo the Republican
warriors are up and doing. There isn't n faint
heart in the breast of one Of them. They know
that they can elect Gen. Tracy. Tho letters ro-
ccivcd yesterday proclaimed this in every line.
The letters are coming in by every mail.
Three clerks have been assigned to take care Of
them. These letters are the strongest evidence
yet al hand that the Citizens Union combine
has only the support of The disgruntlcd Repub-
Leans, who in every battle for the lust dozen
years have been arraycd against their party, and
of the frcc'traiC Democrats. Tho army OF enrolled
Republican voters is standing in solid squares
against the enemies of the Republican party.
There never WAS such n battle array in any
campaign since the Republican party has becna
party.
All the evidence at hand points to the
slaughter OF Tummany by Henry George and
tho slaughter OF Low by the Itcpub-
Leans and their gold Democrat allies. Re-
publicans who were at first misguided are
returning to their Old party. All the letters
gave evidence of this. There is one especial
token of this at hand. 1t comes from one of tho
hotbcGs Of Rcpublicanlsin in Brooklyn.
The Nineteenth Ward Republican Club OF
Brooklyn, at tho timo the Cts nominated Seth
Low, heartily Endorsed his candidacy, and
at a subsequent meeting a resolution was
adopted by which every one OF the $50
members pledged his support to Low.
Since Gen. Tracy has been nominated the
members of the club at n meeting on
Thursday night in the clubroom 8t Division
avenue and Clymcr street, by n unanimous vote
resolved to Withdraw the Seth Low resolution
and pledged the entire support OF the club to
Gen. Tracy. Peter llallcr, Il prominent member
o! The club, in speaking of the clubs action last
night, said: Every one of the members came to
the conclusion that Seth Low was not the right
kind of n man for Mayor, but that Gen. Tracy
was, and every one Of us is going to work for
the Generals success
The Republican army has reached that stage
in the campaign when nothing can stand before
it. From the highest General in Command to
the humblcst private the Republicans are
convinced that Gen. Tracy can be made
the first Mayor of Greater New York.
With all the fighting and skirmishing
and squabbling that has been going on some Of
the Republican brethren in q fcw of the districts
have been timid and have lacked faith in tho
DOSsibility OF Gen. TruCy's election. All This has
disappeared. The flocking to Tracy has begun.
The Republicans whom Seth Lows campaign
managers bcfoggcd early in the fight now SEQ as
clear as MONDAY that the Republican party and
its gold Democrat allies are to be the victors in
this fight. There is now 10 hesitation, but there
is a pushing on and u determination and a vigor
in the fight which is TO result in one grand
climax ON election night-the election of Tracy
and the whole ticket.
EX.Muyo Frederick A.. Schroeder OF Brooklyn
comes out strongly with his opinion that the
first Mayor of Greater New York is 10 be Gen.
Tracy. No man in either party or in a faction
of either party will gainsay the political astute-
ness OF Mr.. Schroeder. He has been on many a
battlefield. He was asked yesterday:
"W hat will be the fate OF Mr.. Low on Nov. . }"
Il think" Mr.. Schroeder replied, that Mr..
Low will will get IL lilllc more than one.tGnth Of
the votes, but il lac expects to be elected he
will DO the most astonishcd man in the world
whom the result is announced. He will dis
cover that signatures. collected at The cost Of
three cents apiece. are not TO be relied upon.
If they are. then ] can see no reason why
the anne methods should not be extended to the
State. We want n business administration in
the State as much rs We DO in the city, and il
Mr.. Low would eNpcnd only rs much money as
no has donated TO Colulubln University ! see
no reason why enough signatures should not DO

Tho deals and dickcrs Seth Low has made
with the Henry George people and with Tam
many Hall are daily running him in the eyes OF
Republicans. Ncstcrda! Edward NJ. shepard OF
Brooklyn. II lifelong Democrat. came out for
Seth Low because, lis Mr., shepard said:
There are only two tickets that can be called
Democrat C. One Is the ticket headed by Henry
George; the other the ticket nominated by tho
National Democrats and headed by Seth Low"

money into Mr.. Lows political treasury;
