One could continue to peruse the figures for
many hours and find many facts 10 amuse or
sadden him. One Of the arguments Of the lead
ers of the Republican machine for running Gen.
eral Tracy for Mayor that such course
was necessary to keep up the organization"
How the organization has been kept up. and how
tho party at large has benefited. are shown by
few facts here enumerated. Justice Parker. the
| Democratic candidate for Chief Judge of the
Court Of Appeals. carried New Yor,- County by
about $1,000 votes. whereas Mckinley last year
had a plurality In this county OF 20,735 Justice
Parker carried Kings County by about 10000
whereas Mckinley CARED it last year by 3l.5SS
Last Sunday night when Mr. Quigg issued one
| Of his Statements" he said that he was "ab-
solutely confident that Seth Low will not carry
single Assembly District in the present city
OF New-York. and the only one where there Is
real contest between Tracy and Low is the
XXIXth District. which Tracy will carry over
Low by fully one thousand. The Republican ticket
will win in the following Assembly districts
in the present city of New-York: With. With.
Xth. XIXth. XXIst. XXIIId. XXvth. XXvIIth.
XXIXth. XXXIst XXXIVth and XXXVth. He
will probably also win in the NIth XIIIth.
| XXVIth and XXXth."
As matter of fact in the XXIXth District
Mr. Low had 4.5l1 votes General Tracy about
GOO. and Judge Van Wyck about $500 Mr..
low rs a matter of fact, carried six districts In
New-York. the XIXth. XNlst, XHNth.
XXVIIth XXIXth. and XXXlst
General Tracy did not carry one single district
| IN \ew-York nor did he carry one In Brooklyn.
AFR Low had plurality in eigh. Assembly dis
tricts in Brooklyn
Further fruits of this mastertul policy OF
"keeplng up the organization are manifest IN
the circumstance that no one on the straiPht
Republican ticket was elected TO the state Leg
isature while two men on whom the Repuph'
cans and Citizens were combined were elected
Tammany elected thirty only one man

The corrected figures for Mayor in this city
Give General Tracy's vote as 55.J94 In June
| % last the New-York enrolment Of the Repub-
| ucor voters was held In this city, and on July
| II Mr Ougg gave out the result. which he de-
| o,,rsd was absolutely correct" He said there
wera 81 200 enrolled Republican voters In the
horouehs Of Manhattan and The Bronx. Many
Renublicans yesterday were asking what had
| hecome of the q. 600 voters the difference be-
tween the alleged enrolment and the vote for
| General Tracy. They were wondering whether
these voters ever existed. except in Mr. Quiggs .
mind. or whether they voted for Van Wyck.
McKinley's vote in NewYork County last year
was 10000 General Tracy was just about
| 1O1. 900 less in the boroughs Of Manhattan and
| The Bronx.
Mr.. Low had a plurality over General Tracy
OF 47Ol2 votes. Their combined votes would
have been 100000 nearly 22,OO0 above the
vote Of Judge Van WICK Mr.. Lows strength
was made up Of Republicans and independent
Democrats The Democrats could not be brought
TO the support Of Tracy. General Tracys
strength, or almost all OF it, might have been
transferred TO Mr.. Low.
