13 I t wero yells for a speerb from Ceorgc. and tbo
MY,' I i crowd quieted down, thinking tho Chairman

mS ' Mr. Crulkshnnk made the mistake of attampt-
' ing to make a long speech, and the crowd didn't

S j and It began to yell "Tlmo!" and "Georgel'1

mi .;' "Georgel "Georgo!" bowled tho crowd. The
m Chairman got order at last and introduced
v fi James D. Garbny to tell Mr. George that he was
i : tho candidate of the Pcoplo's party. It may
V x provo that the nomination of the Pcoplo's party
;.J i ' Is tho most aluable of tho four that Mr. George
' " heard about, because tho Pcoplo's party existed
n ' last year, ran a ticket, and under the election
m,i V law It may ba entitled to a column on this j ear's
?. ballot.
r J. John S. Crosby of the Manhnttnn Single Tax
S" f. Club, was the last man to tell Mr. George of his
m' 2 nomination, and, as he sat down and George
& got up, with the crowd ngain beside itself with
"" is joy and enthusiasm, with every man, woman.
I and child in It on ita feet, waving something and
' shrieking, the band struck up "There'll Be a

MB. GKOIIOK VANIBT1E8 QUICKLT.
Mr. George spoke In a very loud voice, In order
that everybody should hear him, nnd the effort
tired him considerably. Once, while he was
speaking, Congressman Johnson leaned over
and said audibly:
" Don't speak too long, old man: you're tired."
The moment Mr. Georgo had finished the
crowd on tho stago gathered around him, nnd In
a minute the pollen made way for him to vet out
ot the hall. Ilo was followed by Mrs. Georgo
and her daughters. When it wan seen thnt the
candldatowHsgono again and thnt the hour was
still early thcro were more calls for Mra. Mary
Kllzabcth Itcnse. While they wero still hot
Chairman O'Nnll.whci had been escorting Mr.
George out, rushed back nnd up to tho desk and
announced; "Ladles nnd gentlemen, I do de
clare this meeting now adjourned." But tho
crowd was reluctant to go, and it wassovcral
minutes later, when tho lights had already bc-
:un to go out, that tho rush for the open nir
icgan.
Chairman O'Nell told the reporters that he
would not appoint tho committor) to nil out the
tlrkot until he had talked with Mr. George,
which will be some tlmo to-day.
HPKKCIIKB AT THE OVVltFLOVV MEETING.
Two overflow meetings were held about Im-
F revised stands In front of the halt. Among
hose who hold stage tickets and who wcro tin
nble to got Into tbe hall was Jimmy O'Brien, tho
lender of tho Young Democrac). Hecnmolate
and had to remain outside The German-Arflerl-cans
raised their double standard banner on a
pile of sand In the street, nnd built n speaker's
platform by placing a mortar board ov cr a largo
wooden box. M. Dannmeyer climbed up on the
improvised platform and opened tho meet
ing. In a nve-mlnuto speech ho urged all
Knights of Labor to vote for Henry Georgo. Then
he Introduced Edward Scott of tho United De
mocracy. Mr. bcott denounced Tammany nail
and urged the worklngmcn to voto for Henry
George. He was followed by Mr. E. Dobuon,
the secretary of the Pcoplo's party. Mr Dob
eon said tbat Henry George was the only Demo
crat In the field, ana that Van Wyck was simply
a tool in the hands ot Sheehan.
The crowd on tho street had grown to such
proportions tbat mail) could not get clo'-o
enough to bear tho speakers who wero talking
from the German American Doublo Standard
Club's platform. Tbrn another platform was
constructed on Eighth street, near Fourth ave
nue. Charles Campbell of K. of L. Local As
sembly 1,363 expounded the Henry George doc
trines. He was follow od by William F.Miller
of the Democratic Ileform League. One of tho
open nir speakers urged his listeners to make
speeches from now to election.
" Get up on soap boxes on yonr street corner,"
said the speaker, "and let tho people know that
tho only true Democracy Is Henry Georgo De
mocracy and not tbe Mort of Democracy dished
up by the Tamnian) Hall machine."
Continuing, the speaker shouted: "Will tho
Jeople bo dictated to by a race horse gambler
rem London, who camo here to tell us whom
we shall have for Mayor I '
"Nol" shouted the crowd.
Ono man yelled: I'm a Tammany Democrat,
but Croker and Sheehnn mako mo sick."
"There are others who hav o been made sick."
said tho speaker, and "I am one of them. We all
need a doctor if we are Democrats; isn't that
right I '
" Yes," shouted a man in the crowd, " and the
doctor! need Is Dr. George Henry Georiro."
After the meeting in the hall adjourned
hundreds of persons still remained about the
streets outside, and for halt an hour speakers
continued tobaranguethem. Heated discussions
arose between individuals In tbe crowds, and
tbe dlsputers, egged on by surrounding by
standers, became so heated in their arguments
that It looked at times as if they might come
to blows. Acting Inspector Cross remained
near tho entrance to Cooper Union, where ho
could watch the crowds, and from time to time
he directed bis aides to break up these discus
Blons, and to have tho people move on. Every
body accepted these Interferences in good
nature, and by 11 o'clock the crowd had melted
away.
WITT, 1IAYK A FULL TZOKZT.
Geerae Hen Colas for Evrrr oolee In flight la
the Greater City.
The George men have decided to put candi
dates In the field for ev ery olllco to bo voted for
in the Greater New York. A committee is to con
sider the lists of candidates submitted by the
twenty or more organizations tbat have now
pledged their tupport to Mr. George, and to
make up tbe full ticket.
So many orginizatlons have come over
to the single taxer's standard that his friends
and advisers have concluded that, instead
of his election being a possibility, there
is novr a probability of It. Mr. Georgo himself
feels sure of his election. Tho majority of his
supporters share bis confidence. They reason
tbat, if the head of the ticket U elected, tho
election of everybody else on the ticket Is prno
tically certain. Therefore, so It was decided at
a conference )estcrc'uy morning, tho George
men will put an entire ticket In tho field and
freeze onto as many offices as possible.
The Unltod Democracy has told Mr. Georgo that
it will withdraw all names It now has up If it
shall bo thought best, in order that a union
ticket may be put up. Tho Domocrntio Alli
ance has told Mr. George that it will do mo
ttling necessury for agreement on a tUket. 1 ho
People's party don't nsk for much and will
be satisfied If it gets nothing. Vv 1th tho
minor organizations, all the) ask for Is tho
chance to vote for Georgo, and any ticket bo
heads will bo satisfactory to them. Tho Unltod
Democracy and tbe Democratic Alliance will
propooo candidates for all offices. The com
mittee will consider nil names, confer with Mr.
George nnd then select tho men. Personal
character. It was said yesterday, and proof that
thoy voted for Br) an Inst fall will bo the chief
requirements of candidates for tho AshcihIiI) .
A number ot names have been suggciK d for
tho office of Comptroller. Tho names of Klllot
Dunfortb, Chalrmanof tho Democratic Stntet'om
mlttce; Bolton Hall mil James lClldutf wcro
those moat dlscintacd yesterdn). Iiwrcnco
Purdy wns talked of for Pienldentof tho Coun
cil. The United Democracy asks for the nomi
nation of Jnmei O Itrlen for Sheriff ns a fair re
turn for the cancellation of its claims to all
other oHlces, and, arcordlng to tho host Infor
mation, tbe ex-Sheriff is likely to be put on tbe
ticket.
'Hie ofllro In which tho Georgo folks seem
to tako tho great rot Interest Is that of Dis
trict Attorne). That, up to yesterday, seemed
to be the property of tho Alliance, All the talk
drifted in another direction ycotcrday after tho
rublli ation of a statement from William Lyman,
'resident of tho Irish National Alliance, in
which ho Bald that usboclatcd Irishmen would
not voto tho Tammany ticket becauso John F.
McInt)ro was not to bo put up for District At
torney, and intimated that the Alliance would
declare for George When those at Mr.
George's headquarters rend that, the nomina
tion of Mclntjro by tbe George mon wns advo
cated by many. If Ihe Gnorgo nominations had
been made yosterday Mr. Mclntyre would
probably hnvo been nut on tho ticket. lc
lntjro went over to Eiurlund to defend Ivory,
who was arrested as u d)iiamlter,
Mr. L) man's proclamation Is rather fiery.
Ilo says:
"Mr. Croker and Tammany Hall will llnd
that tho Irish of this cit) an) not In his vest
pocket. Ihn Irish hnvo been completely ig
nored by 'lammuny becaubo of tho belief that
tho Irish vole was secure, no matter what hap
pened. Shcelmn declurcd they did nol want to
hnvo too many Irish on the ticket, and they
wind up by having none. John F. Molntyro
was acknowledged by Shecliau to be the best
nan for the District Attorne) 'sofllce, and vet ho
must inako wn) for Croker s man. It looks to
mo as if there vas much truth In Ihe stiittmoi.t
that ('inker had made a deal with his Eng
lish friends to keep the Iilsh out of power in
this great clt). I'll oppose Tammany
In every possible way, and I hopo thcro is not
an Irishman or a man with Irish blood In his
veins mean enough tn vote for n machine that
bns cnisne-d our people into tho very mire of
degradation,"
Ion bus reporter Mr. Lyman's representa
tive at the headnunrterH of the Irish National
Alliance in the Potter building said that Mr,
Lyman's statement meant that the Alllnnre
would declare at the proper tlmo In favur of
Henry George. He said that the Alliance had
a groat many niomliLi-a.
llrganlrations that declared for George yea
terdtt) were the Manhattan Single Tax Club, tho
Brooklvii Muulclpal league, and Local Assem
bly l.nilJ, Knights of Labor. 'I his lutter or
ganlzatio pasted a resolution rrquo-itlng Dis
trict Assembly 40 to declare for George, and It
fent letters to General Master Workman Sov

the Democratic party In Chicago, July 0, 1890;
we doclaro ouralleglanco to tho principles enun

thoso doctrines drovo from tho Democratlo party
tboso who, for corrupt, mercenary or ambitious
ends, had striven to mako it a menace to the

Wo dectaro that since tho so-called regular

subjection to the undemocratic forces of monop

and convenience, tho practice of extortion upon
citizens compelled to enlist the services of these
corporations, and tho creation of powerful
monoyed Interests, which, enjoying rich publio
grants, sjstematlcnlly employ every art ot
corruption In politks to control the city
government for their own profit. Wo de
clare it, then, essential tn the purifica
tion ot politics and to tho protection of
tbe citizen against taxation, which is none the
i less compulsory because collected by prlvato
corporations for private profit, that tho street
railways, gas and electrio lighting plants, fer
ries, telephones, and telograpns of Greater New
York should be on ned b) tho people and admin
istered b) and for tbo people.
Kecognizliig the need for soma Immediate re
lief for the citizens from the extortions of cor
porations enjoying municipal monopolies, we
demand the compuliory reduction by tbo law
making pow cr of tho State of the price of gas to
one dollar or less per thousand feet, and of street
car fares to a JuH and rensouablc point.
Greater New York, stupendous in population,
magniticen tin wealth, enjoying a situation of un
parnllelc d natural beauty, th gntewa) to a con
tinent which is endowed with unsurpassed na
tural resources, should be In all respects nosthy
of Its situation and its place among the great
cities of tbe world. r hold It Is tho duty of tho
authorities' of n municipitllt) to iimUu it beauti
ful as well as clean, safe, and healthful. We point
to the fact that If thn city representing all
the peoDle is poorer by far than a tow of its peo
ple, it is because from the public treasury has
been diverted wealth which justl) bolongs to
all. hut which haa unrighteously been given to
the few. Wo believe thut the reassumption of
this wealth through wise, equitable and scien
tific taxation w 111 provide a fund which may bo
'employed In tbe extension of tho city's park
area, in the bcautlf)iug of its water front.
In tho broadening and adornment of its
streets. In the multiplication of Its libraries,
museums and in-tttutlons for tbo free
education of its citizens. Wo declare that
such a system of taxation will enhance tho
material prosperity of tbe individual citizen
while vastly increasing the number of publio
conv eniences which lh people In tbe aggregate
will enjoy. And wo promise that the success ot
our nonilnco will mark the beginning of the
effort to secure for nil tho people that access to
beauty and to education now enjoyed only by
the wealthy few, and tbe creation of a more
wealthy, more refined, more beautiful, and
more contented as well aa a Greater New York.
Ever) denial to a municipality of the full-at
right ot self-governiurnt results in encroach
tuunt upon the liberties of the i itizen. '1 ho evil
of the domination of Greater New York by law
makers who are not residents of that city, and
by a legislative body which exists to gov em a
Stnte, and not a municipality, we emphatically
denounce, nnd wo point to tho Haines excise
lawaia typlcaloutgrowth of tbat evil. By that
law tho liberty of tbo citizen is invaded, gross
discrimination is nude bctweon the rich nnd
the poor, ns liquor dealers and as liquor users
equally, a premium Is put on hypocrisy, and
vice la encouraged. And demanding emphat
ically tho repeal of this law, we demand equally
the repeal of all laws which, like it, deny tho
fullest individual liberty to all.
Deploring with full hearts the massacre nt
Hazlcton. Pa., of a score of workingmon who
were shot down for exercising their natural
right to use the public highways for orderly
procession, wo call the attention of tho people of
New Y'oik to the fart that tho execrable perver
sion of law by which tbat bloody deed was given
n hollow semblance of legality exists equally In
this city. Wo demand recognition of tbo right
of tho people to assrmble poaceably, to use the
streets for orderly passage In throngs as well ns
Individually, and to speak as thoy will tho polit
ical convictions which posess them. And espe
cially do wo denounce tbo Interference with
these rights by the mandator) order of a court.
Issued after nnex pmte hearing, and the dis
regard of which results in tho denial to the citi
zen, who has aBserted his historic rights, oppor
tunity to defend himself before a jury ot h s
piers. Whether exen lscd bv n Federal or a
State court, government by injunction Is hate
ful, un American, and In flngrant violation of
tho principles of Individual liberty which our
forefathers defended with their blood wherever
despotism was combated with the sword.
And dually we declare tbat this mass meeting
was nude necessarv b tho denial to tho people
of tho right of stlf government by men who,
having seized the machinery of the Democratlo
part) organization, believed themselves nblo to
die late to the cltlrens of Greater New York not
onl) their rulers, but tho very political ourstlons
witii which they may occupy their thoughts.
Wo are here to demonatrn to that what Democrats
shall or shall nol think and speak of is not to tie
determined on English race tracks, nor in secret
conclaves of eclf constituted bosses. We are
hero to declare that onl) by wresting control of
tho Democratlo part) from tho bands of tho paid
agents of monopolistic millionaires can the city
control the corporations, and not the corpora
tions the city. No ticket nominated In an un
democratic way can bo a Democratic ticket: no
declaration of principles cunningly devised to
meet the petty political needs of the moment
can bo Democratic. Wo pledge ourselves t re
store to the Individual that right of political
Initiative and ncti n which long has beon de
nied him In this city, nnd wo proffer our declara
tion ofprlnclplos and our candidates as those of
the Jcffersonlan Democracy of Now York.

Coroner Hoober Is sore. Ilo expected to be
nomlna'ed for Coroner on tho Citizens' Union
ticket. Ilo 11 rod the opening gun of the Low
campaign a fow vtoeka ago at a moetlng hold
In Long Island City. Ho mado speeches In
German and 'picturesque America," and
brought down tbo houso. Dr. A. Jacob! wroto
to Seth Low favoring the Coroner's renomlna
tlon, and President Low sent a very nico letter
In reply, saying that ho would do what ho could
to get Dr. Hoeber on tho ticket. Hut on Mon
day the Coronor was solomnly informed by
some of tho leading Cits that they would llko
very much to nominate him, but wcro afrnld
tho nowBpapcrs might abuse tho ticket if his
name appeared on It.
lhU explanation was as vinegar to the teeth
and as smoko to tho oyes. Ihe Coronor said
yestorda) :
"1 consider tho action of tho Citizens' Union
a very great wrong dnno to mo. 1 think 1 wns
entitled to a renoinlnntlon, having faithfully,
honestly and Intelligently attended to my
duties, and having boen indorsed by a largo
number of ph)slclnns, lawyers nnd others,
imong whom are Dr. A. Jacob! and Carl Schurz.
Iho excuse the Citizens' committee mode to
mo, that if I wore nominated tho ticket would
bo handicapped by tbe attacks ot the news
papers, is a frivolous ono. I have been told
tor )cars not to mind the attacks of tho press,
as no intelligent person would be lnduencod
thereby: and It Is woll known tbat no attack,
accusation or cbargo mado against me was ev or
Eroven. I know that my actions wero upheld
y all Impartial, falr-mliidod and qualified
judges, and 1 have received expressions ot ap
proval both oral and written from the District
Attorney's olllco, from physicians, jurors and
witnesses In regard tn tho manner In which I
have performed my dutiei ns Coroner. I do
not think tho Citizens' committee had any right
to object to my reuomlnation it It wusn t that
the Influences of other candidates were stronger
than mlno or that prejudices against my na
tionality more or less influenced them. I hnvo
reason to bellevo that the prlvato influences of
tbe other candidates with tho Nominating Com
mittee wero more influential in defeating me
than any reasons stated by the members of the
committeo to me "
The Coroner would not say whether ho would
still continue to preach Seth Low or not.

business, to accept a nomination for Councilman

scheme which evolved Itself in the brain of Mr.

the purpose of It Is to swing the east side tailor

20,000, it Is said, in line for Mr. Low. Mr. Rey
nolds wouldn't discuss the matter yesterday,
and Mr. Schoenfald, when seen at his home at 42

couldn't discuss the matter at all. Asked If it

him and that they had been In conference to

"Mr. Reynolds sends for me often. I have
known htm aa a worker In the University set

" Didn't Mr. Reynolds offer you tbo Council
nomination f ' asked tho reporter.
" VA ell, I'm not able to answer that Just now,"
said Mr. Schoenfeld.
" ould you accept the nomination I '
"I won't answer that, either. I will eay,
thougu. tbat I would not run for office on a

certain votes for the head of that ticket."
" Are you going to vote for Mr. Low!" asked
the reporter.

in that city ) cBtcrday morning, arrested Augus

company, and took cbargo ot things himself.
There was a big jam of teams and passengers
nt the ferry, and tho nppcaranco of tho Mayor
with his three bluccoats created n llttlo ex

taking a whack at his old advorsary, the Long
Island Railroad, which operates tho ferries.
For somo time, Mr. Olcason ullcgos, tho ferry
company has been gradually encroaching upon
tbo rights of tho public. Complaints havo come
to him that Kehuc, who is stationed ul the en
tranco to tho ferries to keep loams In line and
prevent confusion, has been violating the
rights of tho public. Kchoo wears a uniform
somowhnt similar to that worn by tho Long

BALLOTS IN WRONG TYPE.

Dcmocrate Declare the nallata lllenl.
Stamfoiid, Conn, Oct. 5. Although the Re
publicans were successful here yesterday by ma
jorities ot from three to five hundred. Democrats
assert that no Republican has been elected,
because all the Republican ballots were Illegal,
The Ballot net passed by tho Legislature at Its
session tn 18D5 provided that ballots were to
bo printed in black Ink across tbe face of the
ticket, and that the back must be stamped
"official ballot." Tho selection ot thotypevvns
left with the Secretary of State.
Secretary of State Charles Phelps sent In
structions to all town clerks a week ago regard
ing tho printing of the ballots, and he specified
that the type to be used in printing tbe ballots
should be capital letters of ordinary Roman face
book type, long primer size, like the type used
In the letter of instructions, except the name of
party nt the top of tho ballot, which should bo
pica size, tho same aa the headlines on the cir
cular. The typo should be what is known
as modern type. In tho printing of tho
Republican ticket pica old style was
used for the heading. The difference between
these two styles ot letters Is in tbe capitals R
and J. The t)po does not conform to tho style
of typo teed tn tho letter of instruction, butts
ordluar Itoman face book t) lie, and had been
used in printing the tickets In Btamford at sev
eral elections and wns never questioned before.
The Democrats say that they will take tho
matter to the courts, but Republicans contend
thnt if that Is done tho onlv thing tbat the
courts will do, if II llnds the tickets do not nn
swor tho requirements of tho law, is to order a
new election, as II would not be fair to disfran
chise tho votors who cast their ballots innocently.

The voters of Hochcstor confront a peculiar

Tho othor nomination made public yosterday
was that of Francis J. Worcester ot 300 Hroad
way, for Civil Justice In tho Eleventh Judicial
district.
These nominations, now made publio for the
first time, show more plainly than anything else
the Clta have dono that their object in this cam
paign haa been and Is to defeat the Republican
party, even If Tammany shall be put into power
thereby. The nomination of candidates for As
semblymen is wholly at odds vv Ith tho fine senti
ments of thu Cits ns to their desire to deal only
with strictly municipal offices. They are well
awaro tbat the rank and flto of their follow
ing, such aa It is, will bo most unwilling
to elect Tammany Assemblymen and Aldermen,
even fo- tho sake of electing Low, and the
bosses of the organization have had a hard time
patching up an excuso that would seem at leait
plausible. Of courso tho bosses would never
admit that a desire to smash the Republican
party was their motive lnstcai of tho pure
Philanthropic principles embodied In their plat
form. Tho excusothey get out runs like this:
"The nomination of candidates for Assembly
would not hav o been undertaken In an) eno ex
cept for the Impediments plncod In thewnyof
Independent nominations by tho professional
politicians who framed the election law. Ab it
Is. tho law nnd the form of tho otlieial ballot
placo a premium on as near an approach as pos
sible to complete tickets whore independent
nominations are made.
"Although Assemblymen from city districts
mai bo regarded In a real sense as municipal
officers representing city constituents, they are
nominally State officers, nnd thero wns conse
quently a feeling that It might be inconsistent
fortbc Citizens' Union to nominate canalaatos
for those positions. Notwithstanding the adop
tion of the charter, the real centre for tbe gov
ernment of thla city is in Albany. ThoLcgfs
lature Is free to cbango tbo constitution ot any
department of the City Government, to alter
salaries and make laws affecting tbe life of tho
city and Its citizens In the most minute as well
as tho greatest matters. It Is. therefore, highly
important that the city should lie represented ns
a municipality in the Assembly.nnd In that view
Assemblymen may well bo regarded as city
officers.
Already there have been heard sounds of
grumbling on the part of the lesser Cits, even
among thoso who are to be found nbout hend
quarlcrs. When they went into tho movement
they did not think the Clta would attempt to
elect men to the Municipal Assembly, much less
tho state Assembl). 1 hey went Into the move
ment to elect Low, but tbe possibility of sending
n solid Tammany delegation to Albany and of
having an overwhelming Democratic majority
in the Municipal A'sembly, where so much
power will be centred under the new charter, is
disturbing the m very much. One of them re
marked )csterday:
