'S Mr. Mitchell for nearly a doten years hnt not
'& boon aOlltated with the Republican organization
m, of New York county, tlut he told hit friends
Je yesterday that thtt It a time for erery ltepubllcon
, m who bellavet In the St Louis platform and Rood
jf BOTtrnuient to put hit thoulder to the wheel.
, jn Ha hat refused to hare anything to do with the
& cabal which Is running the CItlrens' Union, find,
tnoreorer, at one time ha made It hit butlncis to
fy Inform Both Low that he was entirely unavall-
. able at a candidate whom the Republicans could
.rapport.
i Senator Foraktr, who It to tpeak at to-nlght'a
meeting, arrived at the Fifth Avenue Hotel last
Bight. lie will tell tho thoutandt of Republl
cant who will gather lu Cooper Union how their
brethren all over the country are eagerly watch
tngtha fight In Greater New York, and with
them godspeed In the battle for the supremacy
of sound money and honest principles. Oen.
' Traoy will make his flrst speech of the cam-
'( palgn. It It to be a router.
f Ex-Presldont Benjamin Harrison decided
' finally latt night that It would not be potilble
tor him to be nt tho mattmeoting to-night. Gen.
, ji. Harrison spoke in ringing tones during the
V" national battle last year, and he had this com
J m tnent to make on the present situation:
i " Lastjear the cry In New York seemed to bo
f 'Bmash Tammany Hall and Uryanlsm.' This
L 1, year a great many ptople are shouting, 'Smaah
Tammany Hall, Iiryanlim, and the Republican
5 party.' Don. Tracy hat made a groat pertonal
'' J aacrlflce In accepting thtt nomination. All this
i f talk about hit being tho creature of Mr. Piatt
k or any other man Is foolish. Oen. Tracy it too
-big man in national politic to bo referred to
' i In this way. Ho will do what he thtnkt right
:' and for the best Interests of this cUy. tf.be Is
i elected Mayor, and I with him success."
" , "Krery Republican who voted forQroverCloTe.
, land." tald one of the most eminent Republicans
1 ' in the United States last night, " lived to regret
j It. Every IlcDUbllcan who votes for Seth Low
' i Trill live to regret It. The Republicans who
T ' voted for Urover Cleveland In 1884 lived to see
.r i". their business smashed and a succession of com-
, merclal panics. Every Republican who votes
f ' for Beth Low Is Inviting disastor. Mr. Low
i stands on no platform with any set principles.
, .' lie declares that ho is the platform. In other
. f "words the people. If they elect him, must be sub-
1 Jeoted to bis whims. This tight in New York is a
- - great national fight. It it so regarded all over
fc the country. Many of my Republican friends
, ? are inclined to bo skeptical when 1 tell them
' , they should not vote for a man who resigned
' from the Republican party. These Republicans
t qulotlr forget. Some of them do not beltove
i that Mr. Low resigned from the Republican
i f) party. All that I do when Republicans make
j- -I this statement is to haul out the letter dated
Brooklyn. June 'JO. 1888. and sent by Seth Low
i to Channing Frothlngham, Secretary of tho
. i- First Ward Republican Association in Brook-
lyn, wheroln ho rcBlgued because he was un-
2 pble. as he Bays, to Bunport the principles of tho
'. Republican party. 1 am perfectly amazed when
, Republicans tell me that they think they ought
to vote for 8eth Low."
! r President Quigg of the City Campaign Com-
"3 V tnlttee said last ulght:
; "The Republicans who have had It in mind to
; roto for Seth Low aro rapidly being recalled to
t- tbelr political senses by the development of tho
" " last few days. They see Mr. Low and his mil-
,j chine, so pur and good that they couldn't think
' of conferring with the Republican organization
'; ' lest ther should compromise their non-partisan
, , -professions, engagins in deals and dlcLers of the
f, , most disreputable bort in every direction. Tho
-r only possible ground on which a ReDubllcan cun
-i ' prefer Mr, Low to a man of Oen. Tracy's
I character and ability is that he thinks
'; that better results to the people of the
municipality will flow from a government In
V '. which the Interests of national parties and na
F - tional politics are not considered than from one
' x1 -which alms to sustain tho cause of protection
" and sound money while conducting municipal
I. affairs. But Mr. Low has forfeited tho respect
f' ; of every such Republican by his bargains with
s - Democrats. In fact, the only principle that Low
' , has announced and is consistent with is his
I f f declaration that be Is willing to take anybody's
1 '. I nomination on anybody's platform. That prin-
. f, i dole he sticks to.
; ; "And. as a result, he enters the campaign as
5" 1' the candldato of the Purroy silver forces, as the
? 1. B candidate of the Orace-Srott Democracy, as tho
f I candidate of a section of Tammany Hall, as the
' , I) candidate of the Shepard Democrats, andas the
, i as, candidate of tho Ridderbnnd. And his friends
'"',- have been attempting all day long to steal
I some portion of the George single-taters.
f ' Professing to be the exponent of pure govern-
i rncnt, Mr. Low consents to take his place upon
i '. tho blanket ballot in a regular party col-
I -j it- nmn at the head of a ticket which be-
P. fi gins with Seth Low and 'reform' and winds
p, ;, up with tho entire Tammany county slote.
y " What would be Mid of the Republican organ!-
; cation by these Duro-soult-d reformers if it had
ti j ongaged in an infamous deal of that kind I
j.r f Schurz and Charles Stewart Smith and Larocque
U- and Orr would have lifted up their hands in
(V noly horror, as well they might. But when a
U .. thing Is done by these 'reformers,' the thought
f- ; of which Ropublicnn politicians would never
-ti have entertained, instead of being regarded as
- ,'! j the disgraceful thing It really Is, it Is justified
v $ ' as an 'honorable arrangement.'
' , "Even those few Republicans who were well
i V - disposed toward the Low mocment so long as
v ' i they could regard it as n genuine attempt to
- ' j. create a good unverniiient for New York, aro
I beginning to perceive what the Republican or-
I . s ganlzatlon haa known all along, that it was
. - simply a conspiracy to smash the Republican
i party. That was its genesis and it Is going to
' be its exodus. Munr Strong throwB an inter-
!, ' i estlng light on ljow and what Low Is up to.
' ' i , ' when he sits that ho lias known for a year that
' It was Low's ambition tn make this race, and
' that nothing could keep him or get him out of It.
' , This explains bis willingness to ally himself
i 3 ri.u nujr iNjuinui mi -run iiiai, uocuii KeLlluiu OI,
' ;; and even to run on the Tammany ticket. His en-

LlDOaln Lsngue,
That tho sentiment in favor of Seth Low for
Mayor, which, it has been alleged, is very
trong among Republicans in Brooklyn,
mutt be dying out. If it ever possessed
the strength alleged, Is evidenced by tho
action of the Lincoln Republican League on
Thursday night. The league Is n large Repub
lican organization of the Eastern District, and
baa a clubhouse at Bushnlck and Putnam ave
nues. It unanimously adopted the following
preamble and resolution at tho meeting in
queitlont
" I! hcrtat, It la the first concern of all cit
izens nl the Greater New York that that great
tnuntclyalltv should begin its hintnry with a fair,
lyjncst, and Impartial admlnlsttntlon of Ita
kiiiu -. and the cause of good government
Should not bo retarded by permitting ItHorllret
and placet of publlo trust to full into tho cor
runt olutcbeaof Tammany Hall; nnd,
' Whereat. Wo believe that the vlslnnnry tlio
prkt of Henry George are wild and deluslvo fal
lacies, and that hit candidacy endangers the
rights of property and Imperils tho interests of
honest labor) and,
" H'hcrcat, Wo believe that tho financial and
business affaire of the new municipality should
bs conducted on the safest and soundest princi
ple of finanoe and' publlo credit, and, therefore,
that no candidate for any olllco xhould be In
dorsed. who bas not demonstrated his loyalty to
tho sound-money principles tet forth In thu
platform adopted by the Republican party at
hi. Louis In 1806; and,
" Ifkerecu, We believe that tho nominees of
the Republican party In the city and county aro
of that blgn standard and excellent publlo
record that will Insure to tho peoplo a vigorous,
independent, fearless, pure and just adminis

rather than In the Interests of any clique or
Motion) now, therefore, bo it
" iietolvtd. That wo, the members of tho
Unooln League of Brooklyn, in meeting assem

The Womau'a Wett End Republican Club
held a mealing in tho Hotel Kndlcott yeitcrday
afternoon. Tho attendance was very large) for
not only the members but their frlendt ara
stirred up over tho campaign. George 0, Aus
tin, Chairman of tho Assembly Cities Comm It
too, was tho speaker of tho day, his subject
being "State Legislation." Airs. Clarenco Bums
was in tho chnlr and Introduced the spenkor.
"I want to tako up tho practical sldo of legis
lative work nnd machinery," said Mr. Austin.
"I nm an organization Republican and I think
I know this club nnd tho work it Is doing well
enough not to npologlzo for that."
This statement was received with a storm of
npplnu'c, tor the women politicians aro thor
ough bclloiors In organization. Mr. Austin
went on to glvo a blrdscye vlow of legislative
machinery. Ho said that ho thought the
mothers, wives and Bisters of nil voters had as
much right to Judgo of all candidates for olllco
as the voters themselves. After dwolllng in
detail on tho city bills enacted in 18UU and
181)7, Mr. Austin struck the nolo that won his
audience completely. . . .
"When Twent to tho Assembly last year,"
he said. "I mado up my mind to accomplish
throe things. Tho first was to get money
enough to provide every boy and girl in this
city with a soat In school; the second was to
extend Riverside Urlro to Spuyten Duyvll, eo
that Now York might havo tho grandest drive
way In tho world, and tho third conccrnod tho
freo library. Enough moncy-)10,000,000-Is
now sotfaatdo to provide school accommo
dations for tho overflow of children nnd to
take care of any overflow tn the futuro. It
takes tlni", however, to adjust things. Inside
of three yiars from now If this Bchoal building
Question Is properly handled it will bo solvod
or nil time.
As to tho free library, wo mado a contrnct
with the three libraries, the Astor, Tildeu, and
Lenox, which have chargo of tho romovnl of
the reservoir in Fifth avenue anil the erection
of a library there which is to be one of tho
grandest In thu world. It must havo cost tho
managers of these institutions a great sacri
fice of ecntli'icnt, but they generously camo for
ward and b tld that If tho city would buy the
land and put up tho building it Bhould bs
known as tho Now York Publlo Library. In a
year tho erection of tho new building will bo
begun, and we saw to It that it was in the bill
that tho library should bo openod Sundays and
evenings, so tbnt working men and womon
mla-ht enjoy its benefits."
Mr. Austin concluded by saying that ho had
purposely refrained from saying anything
about tno campaign, as it did not open until
to-night.

The outer circle of the CI ts.thoso men that guard
the portals of the headquarters. Gen. Henckler,
the major domo; Simon, the messenger, and
the nice young man who runs the nomination sig
nature bureau in the front room, were thrown
Into confusion yesterday by the visit of an old
lady who had a tongue. When she appeared at
the portals Simon mado a dive for tho button
box, for a great many old ladles como to tho
headquarters every day to get Low buttons.
But this particular one didn't want a button.
She wore In her collar a Democratlo star, and
&ho had trouble In her eyo. She planted herself
firmly In front of Major Domo Henckler and
looked at him for a minute without speaking.
Hencblcr is portly and dignified, but he began to
tldgctunderhls visitor's gaze. As she said noth
ing, he thought he would begin.
"Mad ho began, softly and gently.
"Madt" said she, "1 want you to understand
I'm not moil."
"But, mad " began the Major again, sooth-
"That's a He!' sho cried. "I'm not mad,
never was mad and never w ill bo mad.but you're
mad, all of you. You '(with tine scorn) tho

Sho paused for breath a minute, and Henckler,
who was very pale, begun again in a concilia
tory fashion:
"Now, mad "
"Oh, you Mains," she cried, "you rascals you
devils I know you all I know Lorocque the old
copper-head I know Schurz he's the worst of

"Meln Gott, vnt it isl" cried Simon.
"Goodness me I Put the woman our!" ejacu
lated the nice young man.
"Good gwacious, Mr. Henckler, what's all this
wacketl" camo a small, still voice behind a
double-locked door.
Mr. Henckler stood on one foot and then on
tho other, whllo the visitor told him what she
thought of tho outfit. Finally he mustered up
sufllcicnt courage to put her?outstde the portals
and lock them after her. Sho continued her
sratlon for some time outside.

Austen G. Fox dropped in nt the Cits' head
quarters yesterday somewhat disturbed in mind.
He had come all tho way from the North Woods
to work for tho Cits who had nominated him for
District Attorney. Tho first thing that Btruck
his eyes yesterday morning was an announce
ment In several papers that he was to be with
drawn and Olcott Indorsed. Boss Reynolds
consented to reculvo him after he had waited
in tho hall fifteen minutes, and after a confab
of as ninny moro Mr. Fox came out smiling. Ha
had been assured that nobody wanted him to
withdraw.
"1 Uo not want tno omce, ho earn, with bis
eyes on tho celling. "It will be with great re
luctance that I will undertake Its duties. The
cares and worries of public olllco are extremely
distasteful to me. I prefer the quiet of my
Sractlce, not the noise of public life. But In a
ght llko this Mr. Fox sighed long and deep a
man who Is called and dors not answer to bis

nor do they wish mo to."
Mr. Fox stalked out of the house, and Simon,

There Is one Assembly district In this county
where the Hon, Seth Low has proved a unifying
forco to bring together warring factions of tha
Republican party that havo been at loggerheada
for four years and more. Probably the strongest
Assembly district organization which the 1111
holland Republicans ever hnd In tho city was
that In the Sixtoenth district, led by William H.
Uuber. Hubcr haa boen allied with the Brook-fleld-Swayne
organization, but the proposal to
Indorse Low for Mayor v. as too much lor his par
tisanship. He quit fighting the machine, shook
hands with George Billiard, the organization
leader In tho district, and declared his intention
to help elect (Inn. Tracy to the Mayoralty,
Hubcr and his friends were met in tho spirit
which prompted them to return to the regular
organization, and Samuel A. Koenig, one of the
brightest of Ruber's lieutenants, was promptly
nominated as the regular Republican candldato
for Assembly,
Tho Cits claim tho Sixteenth as their banner
district. The fact Is that they have hardly tho
skeleton of an organization there.

First Big Sfnu Meeting Oct. la.
Judge Robert A. Van Wyck, the Tammany
candidate for Mayor, went to Brooklyn yester
day and held an hour's conference with some of
the Democratic chieftains at their headquarters
in the "hoodooed" Thomas Jefferson building.
Chairman Bernard J. York of tho Kxccutlve
Committee, Bird S. Colcr, the candidate for
Comptroller; Senator McCarren, and John L.
Shea took part in the confab, and it is under

he was going to have the hearty and united sun

Judge Van Wyck will visit Brooklyn from
time to time during tho campaign, but neither
be nor tho other Tammany leaders will inter
fere with ex-Rigister Hugh McLaughlin and his

Portraits of tho nrltlah Premier Offered to tbe
New torb Voting Public.
The alleged portraits of Presiding Justice Van
Brunt of the Supremo Court, which have been
published since his rcnominatlon, are really
portraits of tho Marquis of Salisbury. Justice
Van Brunt had for many years refused to have
a photograph taken, although there Is a largo
painting and a correct likeness of him at the
Appellate Division. Some years ago a com
pilation was made of sketches of prominent law
yers and Judges, and Justice Van Brunt would
not then sit for a photograph.
Some one told those who were making tho
compilation, pcrbapB as a joke, that a picture of
the Marquis of Salisbury would give a fair idea
of the Judge. So a picture of the Marquis was
Sut In tbe centre and prominent lawyers and
udges woro grouped about tho Marquis uf
Salisbury. It Is from this compilation that the
newspaper portraits of Justice Van Brunt have
been taken. The portrait Is not a good portrait
of Salisbury. It does not resemble Justice Van
llrunt at all.

Thore aro morn than 1,000 persons running
for elective offices In tho Greater New York
territory to-day and tho returns nro not all In

tory thero nro probably U3.000 men nt the pres
ent moment who aro dovoting their tlmo ex
clusively to politics. This Is an undercctlmato,
politicians aay, rather than an overestimate.
It.ls not possible at tbe present time to give tho
exact figures even In the matter of candidates.
If each party that Is In the field had a candi
date for each ofllce to bo filled thero would be
almost 1,000 candidates running In the great or
city, but aa some parties Indorse tho candi
dates of other parties tho total number of ac
tual candidates cannot bo computed at present.
Besides, there are four days moro for tho nomi
nation of Independent candidates, to tho list of
candidates may still bo largely increased. So
far thero are seven candidates In the field for
first Mayor of tho Creator Now York. Tho
Republican party, Tammany Hall, the Demo

bitionists, tho Socialist Labor Party und the
No-tea-no-tlger party havo each lis candidate.
Thero would bo eight candidates, but tho Popu
lists havo Indorsod Henry George. Each of
theso parties, too, has candidates for members
of tho Municipal Council, for members of tho
Hoard of Aldermen, for li.etnbur.i of Assembly,
for Justices of municipal district court and of
tho Supreme Court, for Comptroller, for Sheriffs
In four counties. County Clerks in thrco coun

men to be elected. Including tho President of

for euchplnco. There aro tho Homo average
number of candidates for tho uluj-ono Alder

Thero nro, or will bo, bccn candidates for
Comptroller, about thirty candidates for Sher

ney, about as many men running for Justices
nf tho bupremo Court, nnd thero nro Bcvcnty or

"Let's get up a parndo of candidates and

dUcusping the multiplicity of candidates and tho

poUllcH. Wo can hnve a reviowlng stnnd at one
ofitho big parks. Tho voters can assemble there,
and tho thousnnd or fifteen hundred candidate-',
divided In bnttnlions, either according to partj
or according to the offices that they want,cnn he
marched up Broadway and Fifth avenue by tho
reviewing stand. Thus tho voters would havo
a chance of looking over the men, and could
nick their choice Every man might wear a
number, and wo could get up u cutalogue vt ith
corresponding numbers which would toll tho
name of the candldato, tho otllce for which ho
was running, and give his pedigree. The receipts
from thu sale of this catalogue would pay tho
expcn-.es of tho show. Wo might wind up with
a barbecue, where all the candidates cnuld get
acquainted w ith oach other. Personal acquaint
anceship wnuld lessen the bitterness of tho light.
This would bo fun, and politics is fun. Of courso
we might leave tho candidates fur Mayor and
Comptroller and tho candidates for judicial
Places out of the parado. Tho dignity attached
to their places wouldn't permit of tbelr taking
part in tho show, but the other candidates ought
to bo lined up so that tholr constituents might
have a chanco to see them and discover their flno
points. If thov havo any, or their defects, if thcy
hao any. Then on election dor a man would
be ablo to vote Intelligently. Ho would have
seen the man be Is voting for, and would have
moro of a personal Interest In tho election. It
would add to tho gayoty of nations, and any
thing that would do that, it seems to me,
ought to bo encouraged. What's the ufs of be

INTERESTING FACTS AND FACES. 1
The orator before the Senate called
this an "age of progress." He was
wrong. " Progress " does not half ex
press it ; it is' an age of revolution.
Revolutions carried on, not by armies,
but by discoverers, inventors and brain -workers.
It is a marvellous age, an
age when the ordinary will not be ac
cepted, when the best is demanded.

Late of the Eoyal Navy of England.
" emphatically state that I have

more cures by the use of Warner's Safe
Cure than by all the medicines in the
British Pharmacopceia.
WM. EDWARD ROBESON."
Our grandfathers were content to
travel in stage coaches, to live in
cabins, and receive a mail once a week.
We demand palace cars, tasteful homes,
and daily communication with the
world. It is the rapid-transit age ; the
age of the telegraph and telephone. A
man speaks "to-day and the entire
world reads his words to-morrow morn
ing. There are but twenty-four hours
in the day, but forty-eight hours are
crowded into it.
We all know how we have advanced
materially. Do we realize how we
have advanced scientifically ? More
than in any other manner. Indeed, it
has been the advancement in science
which has caused the advancement in
material things. The discovery of
steam permitted the railroad and the
steamboat. The development in elec
tricity made possible the telegraph and
the telephone, so that the development
of the sciences has been the real cause
of all modern advancement.
We will take for example one de
partment of science, but the most im
portant department, one which affects
our very lives and happiness. For
merly the treatment of human ills was
made a matter of superstition, of in
cantation, the same as it is by the med
icine men of the lndiansto-day. Grad
ually emerging from such blindness, it
was still a matter of bigotry, of folly.
What people must have suffered in
those clays can scarcely be imagined.
They were bled, they were cupped,
they were leeched, they were sub-

jected to every device whereby their
vitality could be reduced and their lives
endangered. It is almost a wonder
that the race survived.
There has been an absolute revolu
tion in the practice of medicine and in
the treatment of human ills. Instead
oT undermining the vital forces by cup
ping and bleeding, the vitality is now
sustained in every possible manner.
Instead of tearing down we seek to
build up. Insteacf of increasing misery
we seek to create happiness.
But the greatest advancement in
medical science has been made by dis
covery. Twenty years ago this great truth
was realized, and the result was a dis
covery which has done, and is doing,
more to strengthen the vitality, lessen
suffering, preserve the health and
lengthen life than all the old line pre
scriptions and preparations. It is fl
known in Europe, in America, and
throughout the world as Warner's Safe H
Cure, and it has achieved greater pop- 9

Nothing can be more deceptive, for

with opposition, but its marvellous
