GREAT VICTORY CLAIMED
BY A TAMMANY LEADER

New York, October 3l.-Three days be-
fore the municipal election of 1908 well
informed men on each side of the strug-
gle find themselves unable to predict the
result OF Tuesdays election. 1t seems
probable that the election viii be very
close and that a few thousand votes will
decide whether Seth Low or George Is.
Mcclellan will be at the head Of the
city's government for the next two years.
William S. Devery, who is running indie
pendently. is not regarded seriously as q
candidate. Tonight the campaign prac-
tieally closed with u hundred or more
political meetings on either side.
Leaders Make Estimates.
All the leaders today issued estimates
Of large majorties for their tickets,
Charles f. Murphy claiming the election
of the democratic ticket by lOo 900 NJ.
Lynn Bruce and K. Fulton Cutting de-
cIarcd that Low will be elected by about
80 600 as many as in 9o or more, and
even Devery said his election is certain.
1t is known, however. that none Of
them has confidence in his published esti-
mates and that either side looks for the
election OF its candidate by small plu-
ralty The fate Of minor candidates. for
comptroller and president of the board
of aldermen, especially, is even more in
doubt.
A democratic majority in Manhattan is
generally regarded probable, and the
fusionists are expected to carry l rooklyn,
the other boroughs being in doubt. In
Brooklyn the fusionists are claiming
1000 majority, but it is known that
the more conservative estimate places

Murphy, leader of Tammany Hall. has
issued an estimate of $4,000 plurality in
Manhattan, but it is understood that he
does not count on more than $4,000 to

be so close that the votes Devery may
be able to draw from the Tammany

gave her calomel and she eventually got
some better, but in a short time she had
another attack She was confined to her

not help her. She had fits frequently, some
times very severe. Her hands would cramp
so we could not open them and she finally
got so her Jaws would become locked.
Finally saw the doctor was doing her no
good and ordered a bottle of DR.. Miles Re-

benefit from the first bottle that got some

universities. by practicing them in
everyday life and by multiplying
courts of arbitration. The increase CT

battleships for Turkey and other for

provements OF American genious. the
farcial and expensive playing of naval
battles Cn the coast of Maine and the
unrestricted sale OF firearms. is viewed
with alarm. Lynching is declared to
be monstrous peace-breaker and
State and national legislation looking
to its suppression is demanded Race
hatred and prejudice is pronounced u
menace to peace. "If there be uncon-
trollable passions in the dcpraved in
tended victim OF lynching" the reso-
lutions say, there is a remedy which
medical skill may well be called upon
to heal. as III would any other diseased
condition; for the increase OF sensual

with wisdom and the best surgical
ability would be protection to society
