The COMING OF MAYOR HARRISON

Opposed by Mr.. sheehan, Colonel
Brown and other Leading Demo-
crats-The O'Brien Democracy Joins /
the Ranks of the Georgeites.
New York, oct. 22-The announce
ment that Mayor Harrison, Of Chicago /
is coming here to speak in behalf Of
Judge Van Wyck, the Tammany nomi- |
nee for mayor, is not received with /
favor even by the Tammany sachems.
From the outset the Republicans have
been criticised by the Democratic man
ayers and the leaders and newspaper
supporters of the Citizens Union move
ment for importing campaign speak
ers, notable among whom were Sena-
tors Foraker and Thurston. The ac-
ceptance of Mayor Harrison's tender
of services is regarded as a stultihca-
tion oG the Democratic position on this
subject. Colonel William l.. Brown
gave voice to the dissentient sentiment
when he said:
Il wrote to Mr. Sheehan some little
time ago, protesting against any
scheme of this kind. 1 have received
a letter from Mr.. Sheehan in which he
said that he entirely agreed with me
in the stand 1 had taken. 1t is bad
! politics, unnecessary and i'll timed to
/ bring Mayor Harrison to New York.
/ "Who, then" Colonel Brown was
asked, lis responsible for Carter Har-
rison's visit if Mr. Sheehan did not
favor it?"
That" he replied, Il leave you to
conjecture"
During his coming visit to this city
| Mayor Harrison viii be the guest OF
Richard Croker.
It is believed that Henry George has
declined the services Of the scores OF
Popuist and silver orators, among
them Jerry Simpson and former Sena-
tor PETER, who volunteered to speak
for him in New York. George has 300
speakers, nearly all residents Of great
er New York
The final lining up for the election is
advancing to the stage of completion.
After some hesitancy and shifting
from one foot to the other the United
Democracy, sometimes called the
O'Brien Democracy, has decided that
it's place is with the Jeffersonians,
whose mayoralty candidate is Henry
George More influential, because more
numerous, is the Manhattan, or Steck-
ler Democracy, which has elected to
support Seth Low and the other mu-
nicipal candidates of the Citizens
Union. The potency Of the 10000 votes
which the Steckler brothers claim to
have organized and controlled was rec
ognized under the GilroyTammany
regime by the appointment of one Of
Steckler's friends to a city judgeship,
while lesser lights in the organization
were given more places in the city's
service.
In the circumstances it is to be ex-
pected that Tammany will suffer by
the decision in the Stecklerite council
to stand by Low. To what extent the
action of the United Democracy will
affect the result is subject to much
wider conjecture. It's membership and
the loyalty to its leaders Of that mem
bership are comparatively unknown
quantities. Latterly the organization
has taken sides with the free silver
element in the party, and it was fore
most in the demand that Henry George
declare himself unequivocally in SYM
pathy with the platform adopted at
Chicago last year.
Matter for speculation exists upon the
question as to the probable extent to
which the Republican vote in Brooklyn
will be affected by the palpable cold
ness of some of the old and tried lead
ers of the party there. While there is
no open revolt, there is unquestionably
a coldness among personal adherents
of Jacob Worth, whose anti-convention
preferences for Low brought about his
deposition from leadership. The or
ganization in Brooklyn is in compare
lively inexperienced hands. Whether
they will be able to hold the voters in
line can only be known after the ball
lots are counted.
The usual large number of meetings
. in the interest of the various candi-
dates were held last night. One of
these was a crowded meeting held in
Carnegie Hall by the followers Of Seth
Low. The most remarkable feature
of the meeting was the fact that it was
not billed as "a Citizens" but as a
Republican meeting, being held under
the auspices Of the Republican organi-
zation (ant-PlatD Of the city of New
York. About one-third of the audience
was composed of women. Enthusiasm
fairly bubbled over, and when the
familiar features of Mayor Strong APP
peared at the bottom of the stairway
leading to the stage the whole house
stood up and cheered. Immediately
.. behind the mayor came the familiar
features of Seth Low. The first glimpse
of the candidate set the house wild
Women scrambled up into their
seats and waved their handkerchiefs
and fairly shrieked with delight. The
p enthusiasm, mad as it was verged
close to the point Of the indescribable
when mayor, the candidate, General
Wager Swayne, Joseph II. Choate
Elihu Root and General Anson G. Nc
Cook stood in the center Of the stage.
