Justice Jerome was considerably the worse

work in the campaign mas left careworn ex-

on the East Side, and often, after speaking at
two or three meetings there, he would wind up
in Harlem to address an audience. On other
nights he would reverse the order, and, starting
in Harlem would gradually work his way oo"il-

Mr.. MORRIS STICKS TO HIS FIGURES
The leaders OF the various antf-Tamnany
organizations were unanimous In their express
sions Of confidence. When Robert c. MOTHS
was asked how he viewed the situation, now
that the campaign had been brought to close
with the meetings of Saturday night, he said:
THE Republican organization of Newly ork
County regards the situation as most favorable
10 the success Of the fusion ticket. AS have
already predicted, Mr.. Lows plurality VIII be
more than 10000 in greater New-York
This campaign Will go down in history as
crusade by the people Of this city against dis
honesty in municipal government This issue
WAS made by the people Tammany Hall has
dared to defend dishonesty, and has aroused
the citizens Of New-York to make an heroic
fight against IT The people must win"
Senator Thomas c. Platt said: Il am certain
OF fusion victory. though I am not given to
making predictions IN advance Of elections. In
dicetions certainly point TO sweep in favor OF
the ticket which represents decency and good
government.
yohn c Sheehan said: From actual returns
that have received I have figured Mr.. Lows
majority in the city at $1,000 OF this New
York County will give him 10000, Brooklyn
10000 Queens 1900 and Richmond 1000. Mr.
Low is going to carry every borough. II people
vote the way they talking, New-York
County will give Low a majority Of 10000 and
as time goes on it looks more and more like a
landslide.
We are going to carry the IXth District by
about 800 Tammany now only claims 800.
Even IL her claim be vindicated by the returns,
this means 1000 votes for Low in the Ixth.
