BLUNDER OR CRIME?

There never has been time when the en-
rolled Republican vote of Greater New-York
was sufficient Of itself TO elect a Mayor. Every
intelligent man who will take the trouble 10
consult the record and the returns Of past years
can find that out for himself. No juggling Of
figures or conjectural estimates can obterate
or disguise the fact. To carry this city II IS, and
has been from the outset. absolutely essential
that the Republican party should have the aid
and cooperation of other organizations and in
dependent voters opposed 10 Tammany rule.
The largest and most important Of these organ
izations was the Citizens Union. II had an en-
rolment Of over 1875 900 voters, who had signified
their preference for Seth Low as a candidate.
Seth Low is a Republican. Mr. Platt and Mr.
Quigg knew that; knew that he was and Is a
Sound Money Republican: that his election
would strengthen the Republican party, and
that aside from the fact that ne would not use
the city's patronage for partisan purposes under
the direction of the party managers there was
not a single sound or valid objection that any
Republican could raise against him. They
knew too, that with the enrolment behind him
he would bring TO the party an almost absolute
certainty Of success.
In view Of these patent facts. why Gid Mr.
Plat and Mr.. Quigs open their campaign with
violent assaults upon Mr. Lows candidacy and
set their ribald and conscienceless organ TO ira
ducing and vilfylng him day after day in a
style for which its own long record OF vindictive
malice furnishes no parallel: Did these men
actually intend to accomplish by indirection the
defeat of their own party? Or was 1t monu-
mental and suicidal blunder on their part:
Whichever 1t was the Republican party of the
city and State will hold them responsible. and
they must abide the consequences.

A QUESTION ANSWERED.

General Tracy has been making speech
out In Flushing In which he said: Il ask you
nov. why should any Republican support Mr.
"Low? Mr. Low has stated that he was Re
publican and proposed to remain one. With
"all due respect to him we differ as to what
constitutes Republican" Indeed, they do
differ Mr.. Low holds that loyalty to the prin-
clples Of the Republican party constitutes
Republican, while General Tracy holds that
Republcanism consists in loyalty to ma
chine. The Republican majority Of the Consti-
tutional Convention Of 1894 unanimously signed
this explanation Of their motives in separating
State and local elections:
We seek to separate in the larger cities
municipal elections from the state md Ma
tional elections, to the end that the bustneas
affairs of our great municipal corporations
may be managed unOn their own merits. un-
controlled by National and state politics.
and to the end, also. that the great Issues
of National and State politics may he deter
mined upon their own merits. free from the
disturbing and often demoralizing effects of
local contests.
The Republican County Convention Of 1894,
following the commentator by the State Con-
vention Of the new Constitution, adopted n
resolution cordially approving this PLATFORM:
We demand that the public service OF this
city be conducted on u strictly nOn-partisnn
basis. We appeal TO the people Of this city
to cast aside party prejudice and TO combine
with I'm n determined effort to elect cnndi-
dates chosen solely with reference TO their
ability and integrity, and pledged TO conduct
the affairs of this city on strictly nom
partisan basis and who WILL ms fur may
he in their power. insure good goycrnmen I
to the city of New-York.
Those two declarations express the official
creed Of the Republican party OF the State and
city Of NewYork concerning municipal govern
ment They have not been repealed. They are
still binding. They are the instruction TO every
loyal party man to vote for Seth Low. who IS
the one candidate before the people faithful to
the Republican pledge "to conduct the affairs
Of this city on strictly non-partisan basis"
That is why every Republican should support
Mr.. Low.

GILROY TO PLATTS AID.

Plat and Croker are apparently scared about
the effect of Cookers interview in which he
urged upon all Republicans the duty of standing
nv their party machine Accordingly, they have
prepared q counter statement intended 10 fool
Republicans into the belief that Tammany
wants them to vote against Tracy and not, as
Croker advised, against Low. Platt's organ has
sent to one of It's former Tammany idols, ex-
Mayor Thomas +. Gilroy. and secured an inter-
view, In which Gilroy says:

SIX-CENT COTTON AND ITS CATSFS

October deliveries below cents, the lowest
prices since March ~, 1895. comparing with $50
cents March and in February of that year, and
In November, 1894, the lowest price ever known
for forty years, the condition OF the cotton
growers commands sympathy. On the face OF
things, the speculative advance TO an average
OF sol for the entire month Of August and So
August 30 has not benefited producers, for If
the small deliveries in September commanded
