the advancement of the city's good.

unite all Democrats for the presidential
contest in 1904"

Tammany hail. said.
The figures speak for themselves.
and the people have spoken. OF course
we are pleased at the result. Tt bears
out the figures we gave. II the election
had been a week further off the chances
are that Devery would have polled a
. larger vote than Low"
Cutting Was Surprised.
Robert Fulton Cutting, at the Citi-
zens' Union headquarters. gave out q
statement jim which he expressed aston
: ishment over the result, and his belief
! that the partisan administration
which Mr.. McClellan proposes cannot
maintain the standard set by Mr.. Low"
: Meanwhile. he says, the Citizens Union
. VIII occupy itself ia preparing for the
. next election. He is persuaded that its
/ services win be required at that time.

That was my calm Judgment then. %

my instructive judgment was lost. il
simply shaped itself iu q question of

principle To be supported by an un-
lovable man."
