Henry Georges campaign is being gradually
warped into shape. under tho skilful direction
of the Hon. Tom. l.. johnson. lie is in I'M
of all the George forces and will continue to lead
them, until n full George ticket is evolved out
of the confusion of factions that now surrounds
tho single taNcr. Mr.. johnson knows how to
play politics as we'll as most men and he will
devote all his skill to tho bringing of order out
OF chaos at the George headquarters. Then he
will turn over the mana cement TO capable
lieutcnnnts and go to Ohio.
All the reports circulated yesterday to the
effect that II campaign committee, with Jerome
O'Ncill at its head, had been appointed by Mr..
George, and that this committee would select
Mr.. Georges running mates, wcrc moonshine.
No such co umittcc was appointed and will not
be until the candidates for city, borough, and
county offices have been agreed upon. This
cannot be dono until tho factions which are
united on Mr.. George, but cannot agree on the
rest of the ticket, quit quarrclling and getdovn
to business.
On Wednesday night cX.Shcrif O'Brien,
James A. Gray. United Democracy candidate
for District Attorney, and Willis J. Abbott met
Mr.. johnson in conference at the Waldorf. Mr..
O'Bricn said that the United Democracy WAS
willing to do anything within reason to secure
Mr.. Georges election. lie then told the Ohio
man that the O'Bricnites have a perfected or
ganization, even to election districts. While Mr..
Georges friends in the Democratic Alliance
we're shouting and hurrahing, the United De.
mocracy had been nj work getting signatures,

Democracy would withdraw all their noinina-
tons save that of O'Bricn for sheriff. Mr.. Gray
for District Attorney, and Henry Nichols for
President of tho Borough OF Brooklyn. Upon
these three nominations the O'Brien folks would
insist.
1t was past midnight when Mr.. o"Brien had
finished. Just as he had finished, Charles B.
Slower, fresh from the City and County conven-
tons of the Dcmocratic Alliance, and with his
own nomination for Comptroller in his pocket,
rushed into Mr.. Johnson's room. He showed
the city. county and borough tickets which had
been nominated by the Alliance; From those
who might be considered for certain offices. Mr..
Stoycr didn't demand anything for his own or
ganization. but he did demand that the OBrien.
ties withdraw ali the candidates they had nom
mated, and he also demanded that neither
O'Brien nor Nichols have a place on the union
ticket.
The confcrccs continued to confer until nearly
. o'clock yesterday morning. when the confer.
ence broke up, with nothing accomplished. Early
yesterday afternoon Mr.. Johnson began the
harmonizing process all over again. He was at it
at midnight last night with every prospect of az
much success as he had had the night before.
The Alliance folks still insisted that the O'Bri.
enites were not fit associates for gentlemen. and
that If O'Bricn and Nichol were put on the
union ticket the Alliance crowd would declare
MIR. johnson is a man of many resources. and
while no was attending conferences in person
