Germans Indorse Low.
The executive committee of the German
American Reform Union, whose support
for the Tammany ticket the Tamnany
managers have been trying TO figure to
get, held a meeting after the Tammany
nominations had been made, and passed
resolutions by a vote of 100 to . indorsing
the candidacy of Mr.. Low.
The resolutions were follows:
Whereas. the provisions of the constitu-
ton of the state Of New York in reference
to the separation of municipal elections
from those of the state and nation are
in complete accord with our principle of
non-partisan administration of municipal
affairs, and
Whereas, the party organizations regard
less thereof, now endeavor TO lay hold
upon the government OF Greater New York,
and selfishly avail themselves of its great
powers for party purposes, and
Whereas, the Office of mayor is the key
to the future development Of the admins
trait of Greater New York, AMI the
solution of the problems of such admins
ira ton cannot be promoted by the party
nominations for that Office, and the cleo
ton of either the democratic or the re-
publican candidate for that office would
Enavoiiably result in the worst misuse of
the powers of that high Office for the pLr-
poses of party machines. thus forbdding
the most important Improvements of The
different departments of the city, and
Whereas, the German-Amer:can Reform
Union, considering that The main object
of its exertions lie m the furtherance CT
such improvements, it IS
Resolved BY the executive &C mmittee Of
| the GermaD-American Reform Union that
it is unable to recommend to the general
committee the Endorsement of either of
| the candidates pres en,ed by the republican
and democratic city conventions for the
! office of mayor, but is of the opinion that
| the candidate Of the Citizens Union, the
| Hon. Seth Low, by mis- political antece-
| dents. by his high personal character, by
| his administration of the Office of mayor
! of the city of Brooklyn, and by the pro-
gram contained IN his later of acceptance,
offers the best guaranty for an admins
tration Of Greater New York correspond
| ing to the ideas Of The Germau-Amer;can
| Reform Union.
| Resolved, That the Hon.. Seth Low
| by the declaration contained in his letter
| of acceptance in reference to the provis-
| ions of the Raines law, NEST odious 10
| German-Americans, ard by his behavior as
| mayor of Brooklyn, justites the assump-
| ton that as mayor of Greater New York lie
would use the influence Of his office in
| favor of a liberal Interpretation and eXecd-
| ton Of that law.

Seth Low as candidate for mayor of Great
| err New York.
