He swept aB opposition aside and dictated the nomi nation of Robert A. Van Wyck for mnvor and carried matters with such a high hand as to lend to serious defections from the wigwam. Jle thi,rd ?nnch of the campaign began at the call of Henry George to the demo crats who believed in the doctrines, of rhomas Jefferson to join him in it for honest government. His veteran m the campaign of 1S8G. when he polled 1)8,000 votes, flocked to his standard as the soldiers of France did to the banner of Napoleon returning from Elba, and in a few days Henry George, apparently InckinV ione of the resources of war, was waging a figbc that amazed all the other iwlitical parties. From the Battery to the Bronx, from Staten Island to Rocka way, he preached the rights of men and Renounced the no-called party bosses with , ,,uerce energy that electrified the city W fiowhur irresistibly to Georce.

At the campaign headquarters tonight each party professes the utmost eonfi '. donee of victory tomorrow. The betting favors Van Wyck, the Tammany candi- . date for mayor, Seth low ranking next. Old politicians are quoted as saying that the vote for young Henry George will not lie Inrge. Tammany hall was dark and deserted tonight. The lieutennnts hnd re ceived their final instructions during the afternoon and the lines were closed up for the bnttle tomorrow. From Chief Croker to the humblest worker of the lot, Tammany hall was connaeni or a sweeping victory for everj candidate under hi9 standard. The George headquarters were desert ed tonight, save for the presence of sev eral members of the campaign committee. .The general feeling was one of confidence. "It is our belief," said a member of the campaign committee, "that our can didate will poll all the votes that would have gone to his father and many be sides. I don't think Mr. Low will profit much, If at all, by Mr gorge s death.

A few faithful still lingered in the Ultlzens union headquarters, others weut to the Fifth Avenue hotel to keep an eye on the republican leaders, and, perchance, pick up a valuable pointer. KepublleaTi Chairman Qulgg dropped into the hotel for a few minutes, but when informed that State Chairman lluekett had cone to tho thntr ho i,.ff Senator Piatt had gone to Tioga to vote.

The odds on Van Wyck, whose supporters seemed to have money to bum, were I to 1 with an occasional bettor offer ing 2 1-2 to 1. While republicans were accepting bets occasionally they made none. lxw men were on hand and placed oe vera i wagers. Democratic Chairman Dnnforth to night left for his home to vote. He will at once return to the city to hear reports from ever the state and to direct the fight from his headquarters. Only the members of the press staff in the Van Wyck headquarters remained. The workers were out in their respective vine yards. The following official statement was is sued by the Citizens' union: "The most striking thing today in the situation is the complete demoralization of the republican machine. This has been evident, especially since the meet ing in Carnegie hall Saturday night, dur ing which the president of the republican committee presided. The abuse of Mayor Strong and the hisses which greeted the mention of his name have done their work, not as the machine intended. It produced rather disgust in the minds of scores of republicans who have come to headquarters of the Citizens' union mid announced their intention of supporting their methods. The statements in some of the papers emannting from responsi ble sources, of the intention of the repnb licaiv machine to throw a part of its strength to Tammnny, do not cause sur prise. The evidences of an intended deul between Tammany and the republicans are conclusive. "The canvass by the Citizens' union in the borough of Manhattan and the Bronx is uow practically complete. Up turns have been received from COS elec tion districts out of a total of 08J. These election districts nre distributed over thirty assembly districts. The can vass shows conclusively that Mr. Low will have more than twice as many votes as (Jen. Tracy, and a safe plurality over Judge Van Wyck.

The campaign committee of the .Teffer sonian democracy today issued the fol lowing: The spontaneous nnd nathetlc trlhnta of the people of Greater New York, iaid on Sunday night to the dend, has demonstrated- beyond the shadow of a doubt that Henry George, the father, would, had God snared him to us. have been elected to the mayoralty of our great city, .uore rnan tnis, it loreshndows the complete victory of Henry (reorge, ttp son, who now leads the hosts his father .marshalled. "We called the attention of demo cratic voters who hate and scorn the ignoble and corrupt men who have seized the machinery of their party to make it serve selfish and venal ends, that that iife-long democrat and valiant toe of bossism, Charles .

"To workingmen who, with heavy hearts and bowed heads, saw the body of the bravest champion borne to Its resting place, we declare that his work Is not ended, his principles survive, and in contributing to the triumph of all he contended for they serve themselves as fully now as they could have the eliler George had he lived. "And we point to Jerome O'N'eil as a man nobly qualified to represent in pub lic station the workingmen of the city, and we urge that the political strength of the laboring masses will be meas ured by his vote. "This Is still, as it has been, the strug gle of the people against the bosses ehosen and supported by the chosen classes. It Is still, ias it has been, a battle for real democracy within the democratic party. The death of the great leader no more closes the contest for equal rights and the attack upon special privileges than Warren's fall at Bunker jllll ended the domination of our land by a British king." 1 KW YORK STATU. Democrats Confident of Uuining Seats In the l.eniHlatore. Albany, N. Y., Nov. 1. In every mu nicipality of the slate a vigorous bitter campaign is being prosecuted for muni cipal control. The addition into the campaign of a judge of the court of ap peals has stirred the two great parties tn vi-rv iietive efforts iu the endeavor. not () much to gain the place for their candidate as o demonstrate In this off year of stnte politics that the party of one or the other is dominant. The dem ocrats hope to demonstrate that they nre cot tine back to a normal stnte and recovering from the land slides of the past few years, and the republicans sees; to show that such is not the case. The assembly contests add some flavor to the canvas, although there are no expressions from the democrats that would lead to the belief that they expect to control that branch ot be legislature, but only to re dnce the majority. To attempt to forecast the result with any degree of certainty, would be Impos sible, but it is claimed that in the entire stnte the democrats will gain about thirty members over the number lust year. This would give them sixty-five votes in the next session, as compared with thirty-five in the last, nnd would leave the republicans with a vote of eighty-five, as compared with 115 last year. HKVISED CLAIMS. Latest Figure of Kew York . Cam palsrn Liars. New York. Nov. 1. The latest claims of the managers of the Greater New ork campaign were given out today, Chairman uulgg, ror the republicans. said the county committee confidently anticipated the election of Gen. Tracy nnd leel absolutely conndent thnt Seth Low will not curry a single assembly district in the present city of Aew lork According to ivlr. Uulgg the ratio of votes letween lxvr and Iracy will be three and a half to one, and he exnects Tracy to poll a total of 100,000 votes, Kx-Mayor. 'Hugh J. Grant, who is Judge .Van .Wyck's manager, issued statement in which he estimated the democratic candidate s total vote In Greater New York at 240,000. Of these he expects 140.000 In the present city of New York. 75.U0O in Brooklyn and 8000 In the boroughs of Queens and Richmond. Mr. Orant. in his forecast. places the Henry George vote at from .'U.uuu to z:.uuu ana gives iow and fracy 225.200 to divide between them Chnrles streckier, tor the mtizens' union, claims a plurality of 27,000 for Low over V an Wyck in the present city of New York, and in support thereof gives figures from each assembly dis trict, which, he said, are based upon actual canvasses made by citizens un ion workers. He added that certificates nd vouchers signed In all cases by the men who mnde the canvass are on tile t Low headquarters. At the George headquarters a detailed statement by assembly districts was clven out to show that George will have 000 votes In the boroughs of Man hattan and Bronx. No estimate was made of the Brooklyn vote, but unless an extremely large George vote Is ex pected from that quarter It would ap pear by iii.msj estimates that tne Jeiter- soninn democracy leaders do not claim the election of their candidate.

Van Wyck ha &rj&Kihe gigantic municipality. .It can' ' Scarcely be less than 00,000 and may be larger than thnt. Van Wyek hall polled a vote which falls possibly 40,000 under the comblued votes of Gen. Tracy (rep.) and Seth Ijov (Citi zen's union). The latter was successful to the extert of polling an aggregate vote in excess of the 140.000 pledges implied by the signatures of the petition on which he became the candidate of an independ ent movement which at the outset oflcrcd to join hands with the republicans in a concerted effort to exclude Tammany from power in the great city to coine into being on January 1, 1898, with a popula tion the sewnfi in magnitude of the great cities of tl ,.,Vorld. The offer was de clined on the ground that in such a move ment the republican party would partic ipate only coincidentally with, the other party to the compact and the Citizens' union on the other hand refused to recall its nomination of Mr. Low in order that the form of selecting a candidate might be carried out conjointly with the re publican organization. The total numlicr of votes cast was not far from 500,000. The indications are that Van Wyck received 210.000; Low, 145,000; Tracy, 100,000; George, 15,000. The aggregate is swelled by a few thou sand votes cast for Gleason (ind.), Daniel (sociulist) nnd Wardell (pro.). On the city ticket with Van Wyck, Bird Van Cooler is elected comptroller and Hnndolpb Guggenheimer, president .of the council. Charles S. Kuirchild, who was scitc tary of the treasury during Cleveland's presidential term nnd whom the Citizens' union put upon their ticket for comp troller, did not bold the pace with Ixw. A. P. Fitch, originally a republican and afterward a democratic member of congress from a Tammany district, was the republican comptroller. He. is de feated by about the same vote as the head of his ticked. He was nominated with Gen. Trucy in recognition of services he rendered In the presidential campaign last year. Mr. Van Cooler is new to pub lie life. Charles W. Dayton, last postmnster of this city, who was nominated for comp troller on the George ticket. Dolled prolc aoiv unit as many votes again as ueorge. Ihe legislative branch of the city gov ernment is Tammnnyite. It is a double headed body, one branch being the mu nicipal council, consisting of the president and sixty-eight members, and tne other tne board ot aldermen, comprising sixty members. The precise number of dem ocrats chosen can not now be stated. There seems to be a strong probability that the democrats have won a majority of the county and borough officers along witn the municipal. The vote of Van Wyck in New York county is approximately the same as was cast for Bryan in 1800, which was 135,' C24. Gen. Tracy tren.i no led nnnroxl mately 55,000 against McKinley s vote of 151,191, while Low (Citizens1 nnion) polled approximately 77.000 and IK-orgi; (Jefferson democrat) 12.000. In Kings county, which includes the city of Brooklyn, the Bryan vote was 0.882. while Van Wvck's will be almost the same. Against McKinley's vote of lini.l.ii). den. 1 rncv noils annrnx matclv 35,000, while Low's vote Is approximately 05.000. In these two counties the straight re publican vote shows a falling off of nearly 13.r,(JW, or in excess of the total vote for Seth IjOW. while the Tammnny vote equals it it does not exceed that cast for Urvnn. The polling came within nbnnt 50.000 ol the entire registration, which, consid ering tne weather conditions under which the election proceeded, was all that could lie expected. The day was wet, foggy nnd muddy to a decree.

OK GREAT JOY. (real Rejoicing Over the Tammany Victory Van Wyek Head quarters. New York, Nov. 2. The headquarters of Robert A. Van Wyck, at the Barthol in hotel, was the scene of great joy as the returns began to Indicate a sweep ing Tammany victory. A score or more of people were in the rooms where the returns were being reclved, and they cheered continuously. But it was a feast without the host. Mayor-elect Vnn Wyck did not appear at the head quarters at any time during the night. He left the headquarters at 4 p. m., go ing to police headquarters with. former Mayor Hugh J. Grant, where he en tered a privnte room in the office of lioller Inspector. He stayed there until 7 o'clock, receiving returns. He then left, presumably for the Murray Hill hotel. It was expected he would be at the headquarters some time during the night, bnt at 10 o'clock the mayor elect's private secretary announced thnt he would not be at the headquarters at all and could not be seen. A OLl'M CROWD. The Gloom at Tracy Hradqnarlers Was Distressing. New York, Nov. 2. Chairman Qulgg of the republican citv committee was very glum when he left headquarters at 8:40. He refused to make a formal statement nnd was very loth to discuss the situation. At the headquarters there were very few prominent repub licans present, and they left the place shortly after Qulgg did. No one would make a statement. The republicans kept up their appearance of confidence until the early returns showed the gains for Van Wyck, and then collapsed entirely. It is impossible to describe the gloom at the republican headquarters. If any thing, the depression was more aprtar ent than at the George headquarters. At 9 o'clock there were one or two re publicans about. Gen. Tracy did not apiiear at headquarters at all. HEW YORK STATE CLOSE. Democratic Jodge Probably Elected. Legislature Probably Repnb llran.

New Yorkers Manifested Almost as Much Interest as In a Na tional Contest. New York, Nov. 2. The attraction of the newspaper bulletin boards for the crowds was a whit less than it was last year, a presidential election. With very few exceptions every morning and evcu- ng paper in the city had bulletin boards in front ot its otlice. The whole of newspaper squure wns a living mass, r rom the south side of Nassau street to the park in front of the city hall there were but two lanes in the enormous miisi of people, and these lanes were Just wide enough for one man to get through. When the people tried to pass one another there was pushing and shoving and mush grumbling, and some bad words, hut in Ki'iu-rni me crowu was good natured. The crowd made more noise this year than last. There were more horns than is usual nn election night, and at times it seemed like New Year's eve. " Yoang George a Failure. New York, Nov. 2. Whatever might have been thp result had Mr. George survived the campaign, the indications from the earliest returns were thnt the substitution of the son for the father as the mnyoralty candidate of the Thomas Jefferson democracy had proved a fail ure from any but a sentimental point of view. In fact, the Georgo candidate has made but a lieggurly showing, scarcely T per cent of the votes iu New York City counted to 8 o'clock having been cast for the son of the author of "Progress und Poverty."' AT MIDNIGHT. Van Wyck's Vota Is aa Large as Tracy's d Low's Combined. New York, Nov. 2. At midnight 770 out of the 883 election district ia Greater New York had been , counted, showing: Van Wyck (Tammany democrat), 123, 733. Ijow (Citizens' union). 05.711. Tracy (republican), 48,787.

It is esti mated upon the basis of the ballots al ready counted that Van Wyck'a total vote will lie from 143.000 to 140.000 ia Manhattan and the Bronx, 73,000 in the borough of Brooklyn, 8500 In Queens nn,l llSkfl In Richmond, or approximately 231,000 votes in Greater New York.
