New York, Nov. 6.-Tonight will
witness the closing scenes in one of the
most remarkable political campaigns
in New York city's history. 1t has
been remarkable in, many ways. The
variety of sudden, startling moves on
turned all precedent, upset all calcula-
tions, and have rendered useless all
systems for forecasting the probable
outcome
The two old party organizations have
been invaded by a new and great force,
which, under the name of the Munici-
pal Ownership League and with VIM. R.
Hearst as it's candidate for mayor, has
conducted a campaign 30 vigorous and
so well managed that the city has been
astonished at it's strength.
At first it was believed that this
movement was one born of momentary
excitement and popular clamor due to
the insurance revelations and other
causes Of public unrest, and that when
Tammany Hall swung it's great organi
cation into line the Hearst movement
ton day. This belief has been disap-
pointed.
Spectacular Wind-Up.
Instead of declining in force the
Hearst canvass wound up last night in

Square Garden with the Garden crowd
ed with every man it could hold and
with many thousands outside unable to
gain admission. The gathering was so
great that for several hours the strug-
Cling masses of people were beyond
control, and it was impossible for the
police to keep the streets open. When
ed with an outburst Of cheering that
lasted for nearly twenty minutes.
Another incident of the Municipal
Ownership league canvass was the call
ing out of bed Of Mr.. Hearst at 2
O'Clock Sunday morning to speak at a
Hebrew ball at the Grand Central pal
ace.
Moclellan's Campaign. -...--. *
Mayor George B. Mcclellan, the demo-
cratic nominee for reelection, has based
his appeals for votes on his record as
mayor and the fulfllment of promises
he made two years ago. He closed the
ing in the Hippodrome last evening,
go that building. being unable to accom-
modate by many thousands the throngs
that gathered to hear him speak. The
mayor was enthusiastically greeted by
his audience and later, when Corpora
ton Counsel Delany asked if " George
B: Mcclellan had not given US a good
swering shout of ssYes,' as the crowd
rose and waved thousands Of American
flags.

he had no chance to win, but to this hi
refused to subscribe himself, and he has
gone ahead in vigorous way, making
many speeches and telling his FOLLOWERS
that if the republican vote could b.
