LAST HOUR LIES.

The report put in circulation yesterday that

fusion ticket in general and Mr.. Low in particu-
lar was ntrnsically credible Everybody knows
that Tammany is capable Of Just such device.
and would always adopt it lis matter of course
at the final stage of hot fight if it were judged
to he worth while. In point Of fact the thing
was actually done on a small scale when the
impudent fraud of attributfng to Mr.. Low a
distrust of our suffrage system was committed
under Tammany orders at the close of the
speaking campaign.
The number Of voters who can he affected by
such a clumsy and long discredted trick is
extremely small. The anti-Tammany cand-
dates have been exposed for weeks to the
fierce light which beats all men running
for public office in this country. and which has
been especially searching this year. They have
borne the ordeal so we'll that their anxious foes
are naturally inclined to invoke the help of lies
against them. and nobody will be surprised to
find this morning that Mr.. Shepards managers
have forgotten they are undergoing the process
of regeneration which he has so beautifully
described and have reverted 10 their old and
congenial practice of trying to swindle the
unwary But Tammany cannot get enough
votes in that way to do It's candidates any

time cannot be hidden. The loathng of Dew
cry. who Van Wyck says is the best ChleI
New York ever had is almost universal. Inc
conspicuous unftness of Van Wyck for the
bench is admitted even by supporters of his fei-
low candidates. The challenge to decency IN
the nomination of Fromme and TO the law bid
ing and virtue protecting in the nomination of
Uncer is piece of insolence which no talk OF
Mr. Shepard about reformed Tammany can
cover up.
The Tammany candidate has 3GEe all that
man could do to change the issue. but it cannot
be changed It is elemental. and every man
knows in his heart as he goes to vote to-day
that he is voting for the expulsion from office
of a corrupt crew of extortionists. blackmailers
and procurers or voting TO give Them vndica-
ton and those essentials TO continued power
they put the good Mr.. Shepard forward as their
igurehead. Therefore. not only are the corrup-
tionists on trial but the people themselves. Do
they care If the city government Is graft
if their money is wasted, if "commercialism in
politics" prevails. if the police protect vice ana
crime for n price. if cadets" are permitted TO
carry on an organized campaign for the ruin OF
the innocent and the devastation of Virtuous
homes? Is the public opinion of the greatest
American city such that. when the issue is
suuarely presented. as it unquestionaby is to-
dav. 70 the popular mind. majority Will be
found for common decencv and common hon
esty? Those are the questions to he answered

in the Franco-Turkish controversy. The ques-
ton of the quays is still foremost. though the
claims of NJ. Lorando and NJ. Tubini are also
being pressed for settlement. It was supposed
that the quay question was settled some weeks
ago, but that supposition proved delusive. The
Turkish Government declined either to give the
quay company freedom to carry on Its business
or to buy out the quays. 1t demanded an option
upon the quays for purchase year hence, in
which time the company was not to improve or
alter its property or even survey it, and. OF
course, was not to enjoy freedom of operation;
and at the end of the year Turkey was either
to buy the quays or to pay f23o0o for the eS-
tension of its option upon them for another
year. Even on this basis Turkey refused, or
at any rate failed. to pay certain claims on the
quays which had been adjudcated against her,
and also persisted in ignoring the other claims
to which we have referred. So the French Gov
ernment considers that patience has ceased TO
be virtue and will resort forthwith to those
strenuous measures which have on some former
occasions proved efficient and. indeed, have
been the only efficient ones in dealing with the
Ottoman Government.

GO GUNNING-AT THE POLLS.

That any considerable number of possible
voters in the city of New-York should neglect
today to exercise the privilege of citizenship
at the polls seems wellnigh incredible. But II
such is not the case II will be the first time in
the history Of the city. And yet why should
not a record be made2 Certainly the decent
citizens of this long suffering town have not
been so thoroughly aroused in years. Certainly
there was never q time when vote for simple
honesty in the conduct Of municipal affairs was
more valuable Certainly there has seldom
been a time when citizen of New-York had
better reason for despising himself than he will
have al sunset tonight if he has failed to vote.
Strange it is that the man who has most
cause to rejoice in his citiZenship-the man to
whom his country has been most kinds most
likely to show himself insensible of the duty he
owes to the community. The dwellers of the
tenements. the denizens of the slums, the vic
tins of the political oppressor-they never for
get They will all vote to-day; some OF them.
under constraint or through ignorance, for their
own undoing and others for their own saliva
ton But every one of them. invOluntarily or
not calls for help. What is TO be said OF the
man who will not give it? What is to be said
of the man who takes advantage Of freedom
from business cares to devote the day TO golf
or shooting or some other form Of personal
enjoyment that will keep him from the polls:
Said a citizen who did not wish to put him
self on record as voting against his party. when
asked what he meant to do on Election Day
year ago: Il am going cunning" To-day is
the day 10 60 gunning-for reptiles that strike
at the very life of the city. And the beauty OF
it is that no man is so bad shot that he cannot
hit one.

FRANCE AND TURKEY.

France will go on with her coercion of Turkey.
/ That is the unmistakeble meaning Of current
/ news The report of the sudden return Of the
/ French feet proved incorrect. That feet, aug
| mented in size ard power. is proceeding on its
way TO the .Fgean Sea and, doubtless, to some
| Turkish port There can be no doubt that it
means business. The French Government may,
as other governments. do things for political
effect But there could be no advantageous eff
feet from a naval emulation of the exploit of
the Duke Of York, or the King of France, or
whoever il really was who marched an army
I'D hill and marched it down again. The
French fleet has not set out on holiday cruise,
and il is not likely to come back with empty
hands Yesterday the ministry asked the ap
proyal of the Chamber of Deputies for its cam
paign against Turkey, and got it by the over
whelming majority of 3o5 votes to Il. With
such mandate there can scarcely be any turn
ing back
Nor is there any danger of being turned back
by Intervention or remonstrance of any other
power. 1t is not to be supposed that the pow
ers will combine to help France collect her
claims but neither is 1t to be supposed that they
Will combine, or that any one of them will act
single handed, to prevent her from doing SO.
Turkey is of immeasurably less Importance in
the eyes of Europe than it used TO be. There
was time when British '.jingoes" loudly pro-
claimed that while England had man. ship.
a gun or a guinea ''the Bear shall never have
Constant tin-o-ple!" And that music hall boast
was a part of the serious policy of the king
dom. 1t is safe 10 say that not British gun
would be fired to-day to prevent the fall Of
Constantinoplc and would not be even if there
were not already ample work for British guns
in South Africa Nor. on the other hand, is Rus
sIa to-day as eagerly covetous Of the remnant
of the Ottoman Empire as she once was though
| she probably expects and intends one day to
seize it. What all the powers now most want
is to get their various claims collected from
Turkey, and each power realizes that to pre-
vent another from bringing Turkey to terms

THE ZOE CANDIDATE.

1t is a striking point in this campaign that no
apologst for the Tammany ticket is bold enough
to suggest any excuse for Van Wyck- That Is
his evil eminence He cannot find an advocate.
No one has good word for him. He is the
Ishmael of this fight. Every mans hand Is
against him. No one likes him, no one helps
him.
Van Wyck recalls the story Of the icebound
monster in 'Frankenstein." who was last seen

FET-YORE ON TRIAL

Croker, Devery and the Tammany system are
on trial to-day. New-York manhood and the
Democratic principle applied to city govern
ment are also on trial. The issue is decency
honesty and protection Of the innocent. 1t is
an Issue which appeals alike TO rich and poor
Democrat and Republican, Christian. Jew and
pagan.
A hard campaign has been fought in all quar-
ters of the city by able men on both sides Mr.
Low has rivalled-he could not surpass-his eff
forts of four years ago in presenting the vital
questions to the people, and has completely
justified the wisdom of the Citizens Union and
its allies in turning again to the candidate who
as Mr.. Shepard wrote for The Atlantic
Monthly in 1898, had ''come out OF the cam
paign far stronger than he entered it." and
was. contrary TO the usual rule. "avaa bill
fly" after defeat Mr. Jerome has given ro-
mantle touch TO the campaign. A new figure
with new methods. he has walked up the town
as no campagner. no matter how able whose
personality and ways were an old story could
have done He invaded the Tammany strong
holds of the East Side, and has created the
greatest enthusiasm among those who know
best what Tammany extortion and protection
of vice mean. His influence has gone far be-
yond the bounds of Eew-York County, In which
alone be can be voted for. and has aroused the
consciences of voters in the other counties TO a
higher appreciation OF their duty.
On the other hand, in behalf of Tammany all
that any one can say is said. Mr. Shepard is
an able man; he started into the campaign with
a high reputation a reformer. He has done
bis best 30 disassocIate himself from those evils
OF Tammany rule which could not be denied
and to commend Tammany Hall TO favor in

mating him had set its face toward good things
