enee of fifteen hundred persons at a re-
publican meeting held tonight in the
Lenox Lyceum here. The speakers and
their speeches were enthusiastically APP
plauded.
This is the first time Secretary Bliss
has spoken in the great municipal cam
paign.
SITUATED as I am and knowing the
activities of the town, I have had an
opportunity to look over the ground
from distance. I have watched with
solieitude the movement undertaken to
bring about the union of the cities that
York. 1 have seen the republican party
my party and your party-with the
doors wide open all the time to make
arrangements to give all those who de-
sire good government an opportunity
to combine for dts success. 1 have seen
it despised, and you have risen in your
tons. In my soul and heart 1 approve
what you have done, and I am with you
and your noble candidate for mayor as
against all the world.
why should this be SO? I remember
twelve months ago when men came to
my office in this city with pale faces.
They said: is 1t possible that this
Bryan ticket is to succeed, that disorder,
socialism. anarchism is to be the fate
of this great country?' People We're pale,
they doubted. They feared. When
election came it was all right, but over
10000 votes were cast in favor of the
Chicago platform. That fight is not
over. The fight is continuing all over
this country, and lit seems to be expected
by our sonnet time friends that we are TO
submit and let these people get their
way. There are two candidates in this
town standing on the Chicago platform,
one square1y, the other not saying much
about it, but standing there just the
same. There has been criticism about
men coming from washington and Ohio
and Nebraska ard other places to speak
to the people of New York. thought
had a right, as a citizen of this town,
to come I have seen Senators Thurs
ten and Foraker come here before and
some of our friends who now criticise
them for coming were glad to see them.
They did not come to tell you what to do,
but to find out what you are going to
do.
1.-THE state of Kansas is raising money
for Georges campaign. A fund to elsct
George is being contributed to by
Kansas populsts. 1 can say to you
from all over the country, What is New
York going to do today?' They ask,
Are the people of New York going back
on what thsy did last year?' That is the
question. There is but one thing for the
great republican party in this city to do
today. 1t is to get behind Benjamin F.
Tracey, elect him mayor of this great
city and guarantee for four vars honest
government in every way and concur
renee with the contest for honest money
and killing anarchism and everything
that goes with the Chicago platform"
When Gen. Tracey rose to speak he
met with another ovation, but 1t was
not so lasting as the one he got when
he entered with Mr.. Bliss. Gen. Tracey
dwelt largely on Brooklyn politics and
made an argument against tbs Citizens
Union.
Gov. Francis Black, of New York, was
the next speaker. He said the issues
now were the issues of last year. There
had been no attempt to change them and
they are not even disguised by PHRASE
ology. Continuing Gov Black said:
"In every place where the fight is on
it is waged on the lines of St. Louis
and Chicago. Socialism and anarchy,
junk money and every wild-eyed hybrid
that stared through the Chicago plat
form a year ago will gather there in
knots next month around the polling
places OF THIS republic. lie VINO pre-
tends that anarchy is dangerous only
once in four years, that Reputation is
dishonest only in national elections, and
is willing at other times to keep them
company. is himself a dangerous citi-
zen and unworthy of his privileges. You
cannot divorce city from the state, a
state from the country, any more than
you can divorce citizen from his COM
munity. All are interviewer and de-
pendent"
A Henry George meeting in the Acad-
envy of Music, Brooklyn, tonight, called
forth a big audience that filled the build
ing to the utmost. The principal at
traction was the appearance Of Henry
George on the platform for the first time
in this campaign. Mr.. George was re-
ceived with tremendous cheering, at the
conclusion of which he began an adj
