"lVINS'S SPLENDID FIGHT"
/ The New-York World.


As campaigner Mr.. WINS has proved himself a
unique success. AS u Speechmaker he is easily the
superior Of all the other candidates His speeches
reveal extraordinary familiarity with the city
such ultimate knowledge Of municipal admins
tration Whatever department of the government
he is discussing, Mr. Ivins speaks one having
detailed information.
Measured by the standard of his speeches Iyns
has shown himself the best equipped OF all the
candidates The ability. the wit, the agility and
above ALL tho Independence which Mr.. WINS has
shown steadily gaining supporters for him.
There no doubt that he in strength all last
week and instead of impossible candidate he
is now a respectable figure If the campaign could
be elected but there only two days more and
he was not taken seriously at first
His chances of election are. perhaps, not
hopeless He himself insists that he alone dc

vote divided he Will be elected
Nobody knows how many Republican votes will

can votes will go to Mcclellan. Nobody knows how
many votes Will be lost to Ivifis by the failure to
put I.ronne's name the Republican ticket. 1t is
ret nconceivable that Mr. tEifls can De elected If
his party stands by him. Indeed. he probably can
De But can he depend on his party:
TMr WINS is absolutely sure that he can de-
pend on his party. and he is, by common con-
rent shrewd experienced. farseeing man.
hard TO fool That the organization is standing
by the candidate faithfully is an ascertained
fact The only danger has been that well mean
iEg Republicans might desert 10 Mcclellan TO
defeat Hearst. That danger diminished rapidly
last week and we believe it has now vanished.
If Hearst's generally predicted vote does not
break away from him at the last it will split
Ta-Hmany in two and WINS will be elected

trace of severity in the architectural treatment
In fact the entire mansion is artistic and stately

there is scarcely piece of furniture from the odd
circular table of malachite in the big music

Lord Windsor is not only collector of art treas
