We do not know what authority The Herald"
has for its statement that certain great COM
'mercial interests that do not desire the re-
election OF Seth Low" have taken hand in
the movement TO bring the diSaffected Brook

the report is significant and not inherently i'm

represent the many millions invested in
franchises in the five boroughs OF the city

rather than with Low" The meaning of
such a preference would be perfectly clear.
and the people Of the city Of New-YOrk. if they
found these interests working against Mr.. Low.
could not fail 10 understand that the attack
was aimed against them. Mayor Low would
be opposed because he had protected the pub

Mayor who would permit them to impose
upon the city Those who would in such mat
tiers rather deal with Tammany Mayor do
so because they want improper privileges and
are willing 10 pay corruption money to secure

Mayor Low has been notably fair and con-
siderate in dealing with transportation COM

Many important railroad lines in the West are
so congested with freight that they need large
additions TO their rolling stock in order to
handle properly the business which is thrust
upon them. The demands for transportation
are so overwhelming in various States that

The tides of passenger travel are also at the
food, and rapidly rising higher Doubters of
the prosperity outlook for the people of the
