fusion enthusiasm. Messrs- Mcguire and Hinrichs
came late, and the patience with which the audi
ence awaited them and the uproar It made on
their arrival proved the popularity of these cand-
dates in that part of Brooklyn Mentions of Hugh
McLaughn's were heartily applauded.
The meeting called to order by William l..

Why. Tammany Hall doesn't need schools for
children. Children can't vote. There's all there

issue of the reduced death rate. Dead men can't
vote. That's as far as ii concerns them.

BETTING F4VORS LOW.
Mcclellan Supporters Offer Nothing
Better than EUen MOneu.

The betting In the curb market yesterday on
the result of the mayoralty election prin-
cipally at even money, with a few wagers in
which the odds favored Mayor Low Allen.
McGraw Co. placed in all more than
$4,000 on Low at even money. Ex-Controller
Theodore w. Myers bet $1,000 even on Nc
Clellan. F. H. Brooks took the Low end in
a bet Of $1,000 even with Trippe, Schuyler &

Mills; Street & Norton $1,000 even, with D.
Gregory.
The betting during the latter part of the day
was at odds in Lows favor. the offers from the
Mcclellan side being at about to 10.
The betting on the election uptown has been
light SO far. but In the last two days odds have
shifted from 10 to in favor of Mcclellan to
about 10 to in favor of Low. The far boosted
Tammany pool of 100000 to bet on Mcclellan
at 5 to at the Hotel Metropole seems to have
been exhausted. Last night the Tammany men
were asking odds John Considine spokesman
for the Tammany men, at the Metropole last
night asked odds of to 4. He declined to take
anything less. Several bets at even money were
recorded. These were not professional wagers,
however the professional gamblers and track
men asking the odds cited above A. A. Hous-
man. the well known Wall Street broker bet
$1,000 that Low would be elected. The
Mcclellan end of the bet was taken by Timothy
Payne.
Considine said last night that he knew of a

George B. Mcclellan and Edward NJ Grout spoke
last night at Apollo Hall, No. 12S Clinton-st Mr.
Mcclellan discussed State issues and attacked the
Republicans. Mr.. Grout touched the Sunday
closing question. He said that the law de-
signed to secure peace and order Sunday. and
he would not say that 1t should not be respected.
but he maintained that IL not designed to in
terfere with orderly amusements carried out by
organizations and societies that accustomed TO
meet on Sunday. He did not think that the entire
police force ought to be devoted 10 the task of
shutting up saloons Sunday This however
a part of the deliberate Republican pro-
gramme. he asserted He continued:
We are told TO vote for Low and keep the graft
ers out. That is an insult Democrats Low Is
to-day backed by no single Democratic organlza-
ton which supported him two wears ago and that
ibeous Injunction on the banners Is equivalent
to saying that You are 'grafters" They talk also
about Devery and indecency. Did not the Demo

GRACE is FOR FUSION


We must demonstrate as Democrats that we are
for clean, decent and honest city government,
and that demonstration can only be made by
majority for the fusion ticket such as the inde-
pendent voters of New-York can surely give
when they are thoroughly aroused
WHERE TAMMANY GETS MONEY.
Have you heard. Mr.. Grace that some of the
larger corporations of New-York were contrib

Yes. have heard that The corporations
that contribute to the Tammany campaign fund

tribute exacted from the corporations and from
those among the saloonkeepers who expect IA
vors or protection in case they violate the law.
From these two sources comes the campaign
fund of Tammany. 1t is curious alliance.
Some OF the greater corporations, either to be
sure OF protection or with a view to favors'
contributing on the one hand, and certain
element among the saloonkeepers on the other

men who are engaged in the liquor business

cason to pay tribute In the form Of sub

saloonkeeper who is law-abidng has anything
to fear from the fusion administration"
Il think" ex-Mayor Grace continued, that we
are to have at this election an even more Inn
portant test OF the character Of the citizenship
OF New-York than was that of two years ago.
For It is to be decided whether this community
can maintain for a considerable period such an
administration as was elected in 1901. am
sure that another administration OF this char

advantages OF administration whose distin-

was interested only in the collection OF the

courts for redress. The police never made a
raid there. II was running all through the
Van wyck administration. when Devery was

The would-be romantic story" saws
Mrs. Howell. was published several
months ago in leading st. Louis paper.
with more particulars and pictures of the
parties concerned. The Womans Foreign

ed the matter through Mrs. D. B. Wells,
field secretary of the board of the north
west. Mrs. Wells knows personally" con-
tinued Mrs. Howell, every Presbyterian
missionary in Korea, and she does not
know anyone named Brown. She wrote to
Rev. S. II. Moore, missionary at Seoul.
now at home on furlough. He replied that
so far as any missionaries know there
was not modicum of truth in the story.
