fHp, H Thoro Ik to bo a big turnout tonight In the
jtH',' I Lenox lijrccuui. Qen. Tracy Is to ninko another
H I of the. dignified and convincing speeches which
Tg I have bccouio one of the most brilliant features
Bjll I of the campaign. Ho docau't toop to abuse any-
J Jj I 'jo Jr. Ho speaks In plain and straightforward
.aBtVjf language. His arguments havo called back to
HI jj tho Republican and sold Democratic fold somo
? who at one tlmo appearod to bo on the fenco.
Kjjuf An ollort was in ado yesterday by tho friends
IHHwji of Mr. Low to misquote Gen. Tracy's speech
IMSf In tbo Clermont Avcnuo lUnk In Brooklyn
R (. on Monday night. Tho frlonds of Mr. Low
iaJBj. endeavored to mnko It appear that Gen.
fi ,j Tracy had said that his battlo was
ISllJD "hopeless." Nobody paid any attention
iVX'Jr to this llttlo side shacv of the Citizens' Union.
liHy Gen. Tracy didn't say anj thing of tho kind, and
IHtfyl no ono knew this bolter than tho Citizens'
', m Union. Ucn. Tracy Is to win this battlo. All
Hfet who havo w atchod tho prosress of the campaign
' yVf and are familiar with its doulls can soo that
!xiow. Mr. Low's friends havo had It brought
hotno to I'jem that ho Is dvt lndllng In tho public
estlmnt'on every day, ond tho effort to misquote
Gen. Tracy's spocch is taken as merely another
evld' nco of tho recognition of Gen. Tracy's
Strength.
Many who have boen familiar with political
t campaigns did uot hesitate to say yesterday
ithat Mr. Low's friends had rosortcd to methods
In this campaign which would bring a blush to
tho check of tho toughest politician in Cor
leurs Hook. But no matter about that. Thoso
filings always right thcinsolvcs. Tho people
ro not foolod by such tricks. To resume about
ito-nlght's meeting. Gen. Tracy is to speak, and
so Is Gov. Frank S. Black; and tho Hon. Cor
nelius N. Bliss, Secretary of tho Interior, is to
preside 'When Mr. Bliss could not find
It agreeable to support tho dominant
element In tho Republican organization in New
York county ond Now York State, Larry God
Ikln Teferrcd to Mr. Bliss as Cornelius N. Bliss
or as tho Hon. Cornelius N. Bliss or as tho Hon.
C. N. Bliss. Now that Mr. Bliss stands by tho
Xcpubllcan party In this battlo for a Major of
Greater Now York, because tho great prlncl
'lples of tho Republican party In tho Stalo and
the nation aro involved, Larry speaks of Mr.
Bliss as "Corncy" Bliss and "Nelo" Bliss.
Mr. Bliss's frlonds will not forsake him, it was
aid, because Larry attempts to belittle him or
to speak of him disrespectfully. Larry, they
nay, hasn't any friends, ncv er did have any, and
mcver will havo any.
Tho Republican campaigners began to receive
bedrock information yesterday as to tho com
plexion of tho registration in every Assembly
district in Greater New York. It was de
monstrated heyond pcradventuro that tho Re
publicans are registered thiB yoar, and no mis
Take. So aro tho gold Democrats. The districts
report that the vote for Gen. Tracy for Mayor,
Ashbol P. Fitch for Comptroller, and It. Ross
Apploton for President of tho Council will be
closo up to tho voto of McKinley last year. Mc
Klnloy, In tho territory of Groatcr New York,
received 290,358 votes. Tho gold Democrat
Tote In Greater New York torrltory was 10,182,
which shows a total of 300,540 votes cast last
fall for the principles of the St. Louis national
platform.
Tho provable vote In Greater Now York on
Nov. 2, this year, will be 525,000. Low cannot
WWii-.f nP9 to receive over 00,000 votes In Greater
V I Now York. Tho Bryan vote In Greater New
Vork last fa'.l was 22H.93-. In 180. when
F fc , Henry Goorge ran for Mayor, bis tally shod on
k f$ election night counted 08.000 votes. Mr. George
flh nd his friends havo always Insisted that he
HJ '' was entitled to more votes on that famous day.
Hli In that campaign Mr. George had fur a plat-
Hl form the narrow principles laid down by tho
Ht anti-povcrtylte. In the present campaign he
M has the impetus of tbo Chicago revolution.
Hi' j Taking everything into consideration, Henry
Hui .. George, tho Republicans believe, will certainly
HJftW tioll 100,000 votes In the territory of Greater
H jjSt Nw York, and every one of those votes will bo
sylrP Democratic votes. In addition to this tho Hon.
HH(u!ij5 Patrick Jerome Gleuson, tbo battloaxo cauill-
! date, will take fioui the Democratic party, at
tho lowest calculation, 15,000 votes. When It
Is recalled that Mr. Low will only have tho sup
, port of alleged Republicans who have been dis
gruntled with their uarty and of tho Mugwump
Independents, the election of Gen, Tracj is one
of tho most assured facts on earth.
Somo of Major Strong's friends wanted last
night to explain why Mr. Strong bad taken the
stump for Mr. Low, Tbo men who spoke of this
matter are very closo to Mayor Strong, and thoy
believed that tho real facts should bo told.
Mayor Strong, his friends said, believed that
he was entltlod to a renoralnatlon by the Re
publican party, or, when that failed, that
be should have been accepted as tbo unifying
forco between Mr, Tracy and Mr. Low. It
was remarked that Mayor Strong bad said
all along that ho did not dcslro a rcnomina
Uon. Tho Mayor's friends said that under the
circumstances be couldn't very woll say any
thing else. But he shouldn't have been taken
at his word. It was further oxplalncd that
Mayor Strong is very much nettlod because the
Republican City Convention did not Indorse his
j 1 administration, and that bo proposes in return
' for that omission to striko back at the Republl-
I can parly,
The Republicans who heard this story do-
' fended themselves by saying that the Repub-
a Mean Citv Convention could not very well
i 1 Indorse Sir, Strong's administration, for the
?. I reason that it wasn't a Republican admlnlstro-
jj Hon, run by a Republican. It has been a bodgo-
LJ podge patchwork administration of disgruntled
f Kp Republicans, Grate Democrats, Jimmy O'Brien
ff Democrats ond Stccklorltes, and In vlow of this
I the Republicans 6ald that they should not bo
1 held responsible. But let Strong rest. There Is
Jj II I " i'uio coming for tho Republicans and
ArH, their gold Democrat allies. Tho convincing
VHjIQ arguments of the campaign orators for
EHn., tho Republican and gold Democrat ticket
2JL b- arousod tho friends of good govern-

Tno weakness of Van Wyck ond low as can
didates beforo tho people, It was remarked,
comos from tho fact that neither represents a
substantial platform of principles, Tho strength
of Gen. Tracy and Honry George, on tho other
hand, comes from tho fact that they stand upon
unmlstnknblo platforms of principles. Gen.
Tracy's course during tho campaign has been
dictated by the St. Louis platform, which de
mands sound monoy and good government.
Henry Gcorgo stands for tho Chicago platform
puro and simple. Mr. Gcorgo has no cr been
accusod of political dishonesty. Ho Is criticised
os a misguided student of economics. Hut ho Is
frank ami tamiIM ntunrft. HoraIiI estnrtlav:
"I think It highly proper that President Mc
Klnloy should tako nn earnest Interest In tho
buccoss of tho regular Republican party In this
election. Tho principles for which McKinley
stands aro not so thoroughly established that
thoy can fall to Interest every voter In this city.
National politics is of such interest that tho
President Is excusable for lending his Influence
to the party which elected him. If ltrynn hnd
boen elected I would certainly havo felt entitled
to tho moral influence which ho could havo
wielded In tho election In this cltv. McKlnloy
Is porfectly right in wishing to see Tracy In this
city win. But I hopo tho Chicago platform
wins."

Tho reception to Gen. Benjamin F. Tracy nt
tho Union Lciguo Club, In Brooklyn, on Mon
day night, nt the close of tho magnificent demon
stration at tlic Clermont Aicnuc Rink, was nn
Inspiring Incident of tho campaign. It was In
tended that tho reception should bo an Informal
affair and thoro was no prearranged programme
for spcethes. Gen. Tracy, however, was foicid
by his enthusiastic admirers to make n brief ad
dress, and Scnntor Thurston and ex-Congressman
Benjamin F. Buttcrworth also bad to muko
addresses.
Gen. Butterworth In his speech In the rink
had used words impljlng President McKlnlcj's
wish that tho Republicans might win In New
York, hut In his speech In the club ho quoted
Mr. McKinley's language Following Is tho
part of Gen. Butterworth's speech In tho club In
which ho referred to the President:
"If you had nominated a political nondescript,
who vacillated between exalted virtue and the
other extreme laughter, there might bo somo
excuse for your failure to succeed. But hav ing
nominated the man you have, thcro Is no man
among you to-nluht who should not givo tho
ticket his heartfelt support. It you do not glvo
it, wbon we come to talk to the West next fall
wo will say that you havo not stood with us as
we stood with jou. On tho evening of tho 2d
of Nov ember a telegraph message w ill be awaited
at tho Wbito House. President McKinley said
to mo night before last, 'Hen, jou know bow
earnestly I feel In regard to tho triumph of
tho Hemibllcan party in Greater New York.'
Cheers. It Is due to truth and to patriotism
that jou support this ticket. I confess that I
was a little annoyed and hurt when it was sug
gested that ll was out of place to come bore.
But I sincerely trust that the West will learn
that you stood by them as they did by jou. It
will be so unless tbo ultra-righteous defeat tho
ways of Provldenco."
Tho cheers which greeted this announcement
swept through tho big building, and could be
hoard to tho remotest limits of Grant Square.
No such enthusiastic demonstration was ever
before witnessed In the Union League Club.

shook bands with Wcissmnnn. When Mr. Low
walked upon tho platform Welssmann was ad
dressing the crowd. After shaking hands with
Mr. Low he continued his address.
"Wo are not silk stuiklpgs." ho said. "We
are all laboring men. Mr. Low Is with us. I
remember that I happened to be a member of a
committee in 1891 whon wo bad a big strike
on, ond we appealed to tbo members of both
parties to make speeches for us in Madi
son Squaro Garden, but Mr. Low Seth
Low, our candidate was the only ono who
responded. At that tlmo we wero not on his
level, but he levelled hlmsolf to us. Now In
this campaign wo must protect our
selves, our lives, our Interests, and our
business from the attacks of the forolgncrs
who come hero to our shores. We must
see that we are protected from these
foreigners. I eyctcrato and re oyeterate this,
fellow-citizens. Wo must hnro our unclnin
streets and our bad tenement nouses wiped out,
and therefore we nre compelled to do our own
housrcloanlng. This can bo dono by electing
our friend Mr. Low. It wo do that wo Hliufl

The next Bpcakcr was a man with elastic
legs, who danced up ond down tbo platform,
waved his arms through the air, and talked In
tho voice of a tituten Island amateur trngodlun.
Ho said that Mayor Strong was stumping for
Mr. Low, and then added that Mayor Strong
had appropriated 3.000.000 from Now York
city's treasury to boom property In tho an
nexed district,
"And do you know," ho continued, "he went
further than that. Ho mado tho cntiio city of
Now York pay for jour improvements, which
cost Just twice as much money as you people up
hero paid ns taxes into tho city treasury. Mr.
Low would do the same for jou, gentlemen.
Mr. Low would do tbo samo If be was your
Mayor," . , , ,
After Mr. Low had been kept Boated between
an Anarchist and o Socialist for two hours he
was permitted to speak. He talked of homo rule
and the candidates of the Cits' Union, but ho
forgot to say that "I hero aro two woj sin which
a man can bo placed in nomination uuder the

Instead of this he said: "I stand beforo you
as the representative of 125.000 pooplo," &c,
ond the band played "Annie Laurie."

Henry Gcorgo and ex-Postmastor Dayton
spoke to four audiences In tho upper part of tho
city last night. Altogether they addressed
about 0,000 persons. They wero evcrywhero
rocclvcd with enthusiastic cheering. Tho
crowds treated them llko men who had fought
and won rather thnn as men on tho evo of a
battlo. After Mr. Dayton's spcoch at Lion Park
tho tumult of cheers, stamping, and throwlngs
of hats lasted until Mr. Gcorgo and Mr. Dayton
had both left tho hall on tho way to the next
meeting.
Tho Lion Park meeting was tho formal ono of
tho night. Tho first row on tho platform was
filled with ladles. There wero fifty rows of
scats, fifty ecats In a row, on tho floor. All wero
filled. Back of them, In n space as largo us ono
third of the hall men stood packed togcthcr.wlth
scarcely room to breathe. Tho side alslo was
also packed. When Henry Gcorgo entered fully
half of tho crowd In tho scuts climbed upon their
chairs and chcored him until ho rcachod tho
platform. From half n dozen places nt once
camo cries for "Threo cheers for Henry Gcorgo!"
The cheers met and joined and overlapped, and
started up again until tbo Chairman's appeals
fororder were reinforced by gtiturcs from Mr.
Gcorgo and Mr. Duj ton. Mr. George said:
"As I rlso hero I feel, ns not before for eleven
years, tho past coming back tome; tho struggle

"Ayol It Is! It is tho ticket of the people. I
am glad to see the day when the standard of tho
people has been raised again. C'roker's conven
tion ignored the Issue of 190. They Ignored
the fight of the real Democratic party ugninst
tho rlniis, tho trusts, und the money puwer.
Bryan was beaten, they said, and he should re
main beaten. We como forward to meet tho
plutocratic onset: to raNo the demand for popu
lar and equal rights. I know you! I huvomet
you before! I take my seat."
Tho crowd cheered itself hoarse. Mr. Dayton
said:
"In the first place, a meeting of this kind Is
distinctive In thlscltj -an audience so large ns
this fur the reu;on that hands of luuMc and
processions nnd the ord.rs of the district hos
didn't bring it together. It came ! .The time lias
como when American cltUciis feel thai their po

this city a pure, clean Democrat who lifted his
voK'o against tho Tweed ring nnd the cunnl ring,
and the canal ring und the Tweed ring lunghed
at him. But ho faltered not. Ho fot.ght on.
And not so long afterward Nimucl J. Ttlden, by
an honest vote, was elected President of the
United Mates. (Cheers.)
" Tho time has cume for us to raise our voices
and our votes against Crnkcrltin in Greater

"Sorry, sorry will bo the day and thtsmagnifl-

you to feol, that If wego down Into defeat after
this volco of protest has been raised, wo can bo
supremely glad thut that volco of protest will
not die, but will ring out louder and louder
through tho years."
A storm of enthusiasm broke out that had In
it u terrillo ring of personal Bjmpathy and
earnestness. It did not die out until both can
didates had left tho hall, on their way to ad
dress the stablemen and bruwory bands ut Bra
dy's Hall.
Whon tho candidates arrived thcro Col. Mar

man shall havo tho right of frco labor, nnd that
labor shall bo rcstoird to Its position of

lost Its force by falling to assert Its
dignity. I cannot comprehend why n
laboring man should lie compelled to co to a
district lender for employment, nnd In order to
securo work promise to obey tho dictates of
this district boss, bo told how and whom to voto
for, and not bo allowed to exerclso his Judgmont
In any way. Whon that laboring mnn draws

Wasiiinoton, Oct. 19. Tho orrangementa for
tho meetings of tho Board of Directors of tho
Catholic University to-morrow, and tho Cathollo
Archbishops of tho United Statos on Thursday,
wero perfected to-day by tho lnvcstlturo of Mgr.
County, rector of tho university; with tho pur
plo robes of a monslgnor or honorary chamber
lain to tho Pope. Tho coremonlcs took placo In
tho afternoon In tho chapel of Divinity Hall,
and wero attended by a largo number of priests
and prelates from nil parts of tho country.
Among thoso present wero Archbishops Mnr
tlnclll, Kuane, Ryan, Williams. Chapman,
Corrlgan, Ireland, nnd RIordan; Bishops
Macs, Horstmann, Prcndcrgast, Foley, Far
ley, Hogan, unit Ilcnva; and Mgr. Ma
glnnis of Jamaica Plains, tho Ho v. Dr. La
vello of tho New York Cathedral, tho Ror.
A. P. Doj lu und tho llov. Francis M. Howard of
Now York, and tho Ho v. Sylvester Malono and
tho Rev. Futher Coiinamo of Brooklyn. Tho
ccrcmonlos consisted of a speech by Archbishop
Kcanc, tho blessing of tho robes by thn Cardinal
aud tho profession of faith, aud an address by
Dr. Count-.
Tho spcoch of Archbishop Keano was especial
ly Important because It is believed to rellect the
views of Popo Leo regarding tho university. He
dwelt emphatically on tho fact that tho uni
versity is to bo regarded as on American Insti
tution. It was the first time Archbishop
Keano had spoken in tho unlveislty since
be mado his farewell address n jcar ago.
Whilo ho touched upon his removal, ho
did so lu a very delicate manner. Ho
said that when providential events hud causod
the prelates of thu United States to look around
for a priest to till thu olllco of rector they had
chosen Dr. Conatj-. The honor which tho Popo
bad seen lit to bestow ou hint was to bo regarded
as an approval of his courso at tho university
and as an honor not only to tho rector,
but to tho university. Ho thon told how
the university hud been Intended originally
to bo thoroughly Catholic, but at tbo samo
tlmo thoroughly American; its name, tho Catho
lic University of America, signified this. Dr.
Conaty had been selected becauso ho was a
good priest, a good educator, and an American.
He had amply satljtlcd nil who hnd kept their
ejes on tho university that bo would pursue tho
work on the Hues laid down. Archbishop Keano
then said:
" When I went to Homo tho Holy Father Bald
tome: 'All these whisperings nnd rumors which
haro been told mo regarding tho university ore
lies, manufactured by men who hato not only
tho university but mc, by rcfructalrcs who hato
my policy. I will show them by my treatment
of you what I thinkof them and of tho univer
sity. ' The Holy Futher has always approved
tho courso and tho teachings of the university."
Tho address of Archbishop Keano means much
in lew of tho reported attack to bo made on
Mgr. Schrocdcr tomorrow. This mutter was
discussed on all sides at tho university to-day.
Mgr. Scbroodcr, thu professor of dogmatic tho
ology, has been regarded slnco his entrance as a
disturbing clement. Ills opposition to tho lib
eral clement culminated In tho struggle which
resultod in ArchbUbop Kcano's retirement from
tbo rectorship. It was then shown conclu
sively that Mgr. Schrocdcr could not remain
at the university if there was to bo
peace there. He was ostracised socially by thn
profc ssors, and his position was made very un
pleasant, 'Ibe prcocul movement to displace
him began hist spring, and has been gathering
headway ever since. Charges wero furmulated
against him, to bo presented nt tho meeting of
tho board to morrow. It wus reported this after
noon at tho university that Mgr. Schrocdcr had
shown .1 letter which ha had brought with him
from Homo forbidding tho Board of Directors
to remoio him. This report could not bo
verified to night, but it Is understood that tho
Mousiguor had mado somo more calculated to
checkmato the opposition. If he really has such
a letter from Home It will prevent any action
to-morrow, 'I he latest positive Information is
that tho charges will bo preferred according to
tho plans already set forth in The Su.v. Tho
persons most directly concerned doclino to say
anything for publication. Mgr. Schroedor de
clined to bo seen. Dr. Conaty and Dr. Garrigan
refuso to discuss tho matter, and all tho mem
bers of tho board who could bo seen professed to
know nothing of the matter.
Archbishop Ireland opposes Mgr. Schrocdcr.
He has referred to him nnd his followers, as
Archbishop Keano did this afternoon, as re
fractnircs. The professor has attacked Arch
bishop Ireland on many occasions, In public and
through tho columns of his newspapers, ond
would havo douo so from tho pulpit it Mgr,
MartincllI had not forbidden it.
Cardinal Gibbons, tho chancellor of tho uni
versity, is the person whoso position is looked
upon as decisive lu this matter. He may hold
the balance of power at tbo meeting.
KXAVP'S JlOLLElt BOAT.
It nni a Trial with llctulls That, He Declares,
Are successful.
Tohonto, Ont., Oct. 19. Tho machinery of
tho roller boat with which Lawyer Knnpp ex
pects to knock ocoan steamer records ull to
pieces and to cross tho AtlanllaOccan In threo

cylinder Is ou ball.boarltics, and Is to maintain
Its position.
On Saturday tho machinery refused to work
prorcrly and tho boat wns nearly upset. To
day tbo trial was successful, and Knapp declares
that ho has established tho entire success of his
inveutlon. When tho Btcam was turned on to
day in an Instant there wus the liveliest com
motion aboard. The wheels began climbing up
thoinshloof tho boat and persons on tbo plat
forms at each end found themselves elevated at
an auglo which threatened in another moment
to pitch them Into the water. There was a
deafening noise, ns If tho machinery hnd nil
burst to pieces and was lljlng around Inside
tho great cjllndcr, which at that Instant began
to move In Iho water. Tho engines and pint
forms Biiddonly slipped back to their former
horizontal position, but Just ns soon began their
upwnrd cllnibngaln, thus accelerating tho speed
of the revolving cylinder. Then Iho engines
wero stopped. After a brief breathing spell tho
engines wero again started, ana tno boat again
revolved, this tlmo faster than beforo. After
two or three turns tho trial was over, and every
ono voted it n success.

Sr. Paol, Oct. 19. At tho argument ot tho
caso of tho Minneapolis Tribime vs. tho Asso
ciated PrcsB In tho United Statos Circuit Court
of Appeals, Mr. Justice Br ewer of tho Supremo
Court of the Unltod States presided and gavo a
strong Intimation of his views.
'iho case Involves tho construction of tho con
tract by which the Minneapolis Tribune claims
an oxclustvo right to thosorvlco of the Asso
ciated Press, the contention being that tho con
tract had been modified by a by-law of the As
sociated Press which permitted tho Associated
Press to sorvo such papers as hod a contract
with the United Press on Oct. 15, 1892.
JuBtlco Brow er stopped counsol in their argu
ment and called their attention to tho monop
olistic feature of tho contract and asked them
wholhor they had considered that pbaso of It.
Counsol for tho Associated Press responded that
they did not wish to raise that question. "The
rcry life and existence ot tho Associated Press,"
said counsol, "depends upon its excluslvo char
actor, and Iho Associated Press does not deslro
to ralso this question."
Justice Brewer said: "Will a court of equity,
even if both parties consent, enforce a contract
which manifestly creates a monopoly I"
Tho bar here are of tho opinion that the Court
will disposo of tho matter by dismissing tbo
whole proceeding on tho ground that tho con
tract la void becauso In restraint ot trado and In
violation of the Anti-Trust laws and tending to
creato a monopoly.
