VIII suffer seriously at the polls as
a result of the disaffecton of the
Brooklyn democrats.
Ihe revolt of District Attorney
Jerome against Mayor Low threaten
ed for time to produce an ANALOGOUS
SITUATION in the fusion ranks. Mr..
Jerome, however, came around all
right after Low had been renominat-
ed and during the past two or three
weeks has been one of the most
Jealous campaigners for the fusion
ticket.
Ex-Chief of Police William Devery' 5
independent candidacy for mayor has
contributed the comedy of the cam
palgn. Everyone makes light of his
candidacy except the rotund and hui
morous Mr.. Devery himself, who af-
fects to forsee his own triumph and
the destruction of Tammany, which
organization incurred his wrath b re-
fusing to recognize his claims to
district leadership. Charles F. Iur-
ply, while pretending to regard Dev-
ery's candidacy with contempt, is Sc
cretly working hard to swamp the
former chief of police, for he knows
that every vote polled by Devery will
be drawn from the Tammany ranks.
Tammany has openly charged the ful-
sion forces with financing the Devery
campaign.
In their conduct of the campaign
the fusionists have relied chiefly on
the public improvements and other
good works accomplished during the
two years of their administration to
continue them in power The "red
light district has been obliterated and
they declare that the city never before
was so free from gamblers and the
disreputable element generally as it
| is today The rallying cry of their
fight has been vote for Low and

George B. Mcclellan says that II
elected mayor he will administer the
affairs of the city honestly and fear
lessly and will not be the tool OF
Richard Croker or of Tammany hall
The city, he says, is normally demo
cratic and should have a democratic
government. He charges the reform
administration with gross extrava
gance in the management of the city's
| finances and says that as result OF
| its negligence thousands Of children
are unable to find accommodation in
| the public schools.
In regard to the chief issue of the
contest, however, Tammany has seen
fit to say little. The fusionists point
, to the conviction of CAP Adams, the
policy king, the closing of Richard
| Canfeld's palatial gambling estab'
lishment and the determination OF the
system Of organized corruption which
disgraced the police department under
Tammany as triumphs OF the Low ad'
ministration. In refutation Of these
charges Tammany has been unable to
make satisfactory reply except 70
