Of Mr.. Georges son will be quickly re-
pented.
The Times, after alluding to "the rarity
of such a dramatic DEATH says: "Mr.
Georges influence was largely personal,
and if he had been elected. he would
PROBABLY have disappointed his devotees
when he was sincere, but he would have
no opportunity Of carrying into effect his
fiscal and social theories; while he
would have been unable, through mex
perience, to resist the steady pressure
of the workers and bosses His death
gives a great advantage to Tammany
Hall, which would in any case probably
be victorious. Scrupulously honest
as we believe Henry George to have
been he might have kept his own hands
clean in such a position, but he could
not have reformed the system, and he
might have probably engrafted upon it
some evils. The American people hav-
Ing strong, practical instincts, Mr..
Georges philosophy met with larger
measure of support in England than in
the United States
The afternoon papers publish today
further sympathetic comment on the
death of Henry George, similar to the
references made by the morning papers
to the death of the philosopher and po-
litical economist. Columns of stories
about the dead man and incidents of his
career are printed by the press.
