' the time Gen. Tracy bad reached the
IB front of the stage, where he bowed before
taking Ills seat, the noise had resolved
Itself into volleys of cheers that seemed to grow
In volume instead of decreasing. For soveral
minutes the cheering kept up. As soon as It
moderated Corporal Tanner turned as if to leave
the stage to his superior In rank, but the Gen
cri! held up his hand,
"(loon with the speech, Corporal," he said.
"I obey your orders now. General," Bald tbo
I Corporal, "as Inotildbad I been a, member of

Then he told the story In which he had been

FT.VSIUSO GREETS Tit ACT.
The TfhoU Town Turns Out to near nin
Score Low.
The Hon. Benjamin F. Tracy, the candidate of
the Republicans and of all believers In sound
money and tho Ht. Louis platform, mndo a ring
ing opeech in Flushing, L. I., last evening. The
meeting, which was hold under the auspices of
the Flushing Republican Club, was most en
thusiastic, and all the Inhabitants of tho town
seemed to hnvo turned out to do tho General
honor. The Town Hall, where tho meeting was
held, was profusely decorated with flags and
banners, nnd there wns a largo picture of Gen.
Tracy eusDcndcd at the rear of tho platform.
Every seat was occupied and hundreds had to
Btand outside
There was great applause, especially at the
points where Gen. Tracy scored Soth Low and
called him a Cleveland Democrat. Tho audience
went simply wild when tho General declared
emphatically that ho was in tho light to win.
The Chairman of the meeting was Frederick P.
Morris, the President of tho local Republican
club. Mr. Morris said that tho only persons
opposod to Gen. Tracy were the Wilson tariff
men and tho Cleveland Republicans.
"The Citizens' Union candidate," ho said, "is
weaker to-day than he waB n week ago, and a
week from to-day ho will be a great deal weaker."
The Chairman then, amid a storm of applause.
Introduced Gen. Tracy, who bowed reportedly
to tbo audlonce In acknowledgment of the
hearty greeting. Tho General, who was cheered
again when he came forward to speak, said ho
wonld not undertake to discuss tho question of
non-partisanship nor to say what It was and
what It was not.
" I think, however," he Bald, " that In a city
of three and a quarter millions tho proposition
that political parties should dissolve In tho
presence of a great political election is an ab
surdity. Why should such a proposition bo
submitted to the people I The party that Is
competent to gov ern a nation of 72,000.000 of
people and a State of 7,000,000 of poople
is Burely not Incompetent to take an In
terest In tho Government of the sec
ond greatest metropolis In the world.
Can It be possible that a party that 1b
In favor of good government In the nation Is
in favor of bad government In the city I Parties
are not constituted in that way, and men oro
not constituted that way. The man that is an
honest man is an honest man all the way
through, and the party that Is in favor of good
government In the State cannot be In favor of
bad government In the city."
"Good boy, IJen. That's tho talk," cried out a
voice in the rear of the hall, and a roar of cheers
went up from the audience. When the applause
had subsided Gen. Tracy continued. Baying:
" I assume yon do not want Tammany Hall In
Flushing."
There was a fierce chorus of "No, "No,"
from all parts of the ball, and Gen. Tracy
smiled.
"Now." ho continued, "you must have Tam
many Hall or the candldato of the Republican
party. There is no doubt about It and there can
be no doubt about this proposition. Men may
deceive tho i selves with sophistries as much as
they pleaso, but cho fact remains that )ou can
not win a great political conflict without a
groat political party behind you any more than
a great battle with a mob against a disciplined
army.
"Now let me say a few words about inde
pendent movements. Tho history of all inde
pendent movements Is that they make a great
bplurge before election. Thoy mako great noise
and great display and float upon the top of tho
waves for the time being, but they nover sink
Into the roots of a political organization.
Tako the case of Mr. Ixw, for instance.
He was twice nominated by tho Republican
party nnd elected Mayor of Hrooklyn. Ilia term
of offito expired In 18H6, and in 1885 wo were
engaged In electing his successor. He supported
an Independent movement, and for the llrst
timo tho Republicans and the Citizens failed to
agree, and If you had In that election belioved
only a quarter of what you beard you would
have been confident that the Independent can
didate would havo beaten tho regular candi
date. What was the result I Tho regular can
dldato got 37,000 votes and tho Independent
candidate, Mr, Low's bupporlcr, received only
1 3.000 votes."
There was renewed cheering at this point, and
a vole cried: "Give It to htm, General."
Gen. Tracy thon referred briefly to tho Shop
ard independent movement, and said that un
less all previous experiences were reversed In
1807, tho Independent movement of Mr, Low
was doomed,
"The choice," ho said," Is betwo n the Rcpub-

more than L':i 0,000 Republicans who voto the
ticket year In and year out. Tho man who
gets 175,000 votes In tbo coming election
is . morally certain of being elected,
Mr, Low will draw more vote from tho Demo
cratic pnrty than he will from the Republican
party. You seo, ho has got Purroy, t o Steep
lers, the ataalK-y.iUunu, the Ship Democracy,
the bhepard party In lliookl) n, and bomo of the
Grace Democracy In New York, Then you havo
my friend, Patrick J. Gleasnn, nnd then conies
Henry George, who Is absolutely nn unknown
quantity, Henry Ueorgo may draw more than
one-half of tho entire Democratic vote. Few
Seople believe be will draw less than 70,000 or
0,000, and a great many think he will poll
from 100,000 to 140,000 votes on election day.
Mr. Low is the only candidate who will draw
any votes from (ho Republican party. It Is Im
possible for Mr. Low to get more than H per
cent, of tho regular organized vote In the city of
New York. Our ennvuss Indicates that he will
get about 8 pur cent. Now give him 10, or l'A
or '-0 per cent. If you want lo, and still he cannot
get Iho Republican candldatu down to any point
where the Tammany Hall candidate can com
pare with him. Great applause.)
"So thut you see," continued Gen. Tracy,
"Mr. Low remaining In the Held and doing his
best, cannot defoat the Republican ticket. If
Republicans do their duty uud btand by their
guns tbe ticket will ho homo triumphantly on
tho t!d of November by from 25,000 to 5(1,000

This Is the most luiportunt election, so fur as

what will happen to the Renubllcnn pnrty, to

that if Tammany Hall itetB control of Orenter

county wore taken to-day befoio Pollco Justice
John P. Moran of White Plains. On the sworn
complnlnt of Robert Coward. Deputy County
Clerk, Justice Moran summoned witnesses and
examined them to detcrmlno who It was
who falsified the certificates and what tho
nature of the crime was. Mr. Coward in
his affidavit says that he verily believes,
and thereforo alleges, that ono George
W. Robertson, ono William II. II. Ely. ono John
Doe and one Richard Roe have committed a
crime in tho vlllago of White Plains on or about
the 13th day of October, 1807, In that said per
sons at said time and place falsely made oath
to and fraudently defaced a certain certlflcatoof
nomlnatlo of the Westchester County Citizens'
League, in violation of Bectlon 410 of the penal
code. Ho asked that W. M. Dubois, G. T.
Capron, J. W. Stafford, Thomas II. Fitzgerald,
John W. McCabe. Michael J. Dillon. Edward
Buckhour, and Charles L. Anderson may be
examined under oath to determine who com
mitted the crime and what the nature of the
crime is.
Several of these men, who are notaries public,
were examlnod to-day by Henry C. Henderson,
who appeared on bebalf of the people. In the
County Court room, before Justlco Moran. They
all testified that tbe nomination certldcates had
been altered after they had executed them. The
petition that had been circulated with the
names of E. II. Long for Sheriff and Charlos
Hllbert for Coroner bad been altered, and the
HU1UO Ul II . J. UlailCj 1UI BSCIUI'IJ ill 111B OOC
ond district had been added, while to petitions
for Oror.ey had been ndded tho names of lying
and Hilbert. Most of the certificates had been
delivered to Ely, Robertson, and J, W. Stafford.
J, W. McCabe of Mnmaroneck testified that
Messrs. Ely and Robertson and Notary Fitzger
ald received the petition he had circulated In
Mamaroncck for urancy. which subsequently
appeared with the names of Long for Sheriff and
Hilbert for Coroner pasted thereon. Ho had
seen them doing somo pasting In thoOrawam
pum Hotel, but did not know whether the cer
tificate he presented was altered while ho wa
there or not.
Other witnesses will bo called, nnd. If the tes
timony warrants it, arrests will he made. Thrro
Is no doubt that this will be done. The mat
ter certainly has taken a serious turn. W.
II. II. Ely Is editor and proprietor of
tho Tarrytown Pleas Record, and is also
a prominent member of tbe Westchester
county bar, being counsel for the village
of Tarrytown. Ho Is a Democrat. George W.
Robertson Is President of the village of Peeks
kill, and was three years ago elected State
Senator from this district on tho Republican
ticket. On Oct. 18 County Clerk Crumb rejected
tho certificate of Messrs. Long, Hilbert, and
Graney after a hoarlnjr. Justice Keogb then
ordered tho names of Lonr and Hilbert stricken
from the National Dcmocratio ticket on tho
ground of fraud. Messrs. Long nnd Hilbert
joined in tho petition, and Judge Iveogh In his
opinion hold that thoy were not parties to tho
fraud and knew nothing of it.

More than 1,500 buslnos men crowded Into
the fourth noonday meeting of the Commercial
Men's Tracy Club yesterday, and for on hour
and a quarter listened to the speaker and went
Into a fronzy of enthusiasm ovcry tlmo tho
name of Gen. Tracy was mentioned. It Ib doubt
ful If any candldato who ha carried hi cam

of the city bofore him In the way Gen. Traey
has. In every storo there Ib a Tracy lithograph,
almost ovcry man you meet wears aTrncy button,
and the ahouterslncludo youths who aro going
to cast their llrst vote this year, as well as men
who have voted In n dozen or more Presidential
elections. When business men forego their
luncheon to go to a political meotlng It Is a sign
that they nro more than ordinarily Interested In
tho success of somo candidate.
It Is a pity that the club was unable to secure
larger quarters for its noonday meetings. The
tore at tlio southeast corner of Broadway and
Hlecckcr street Is u big one, and 1,000 people can
squeeze Into It with comfort; but if It would seat
3,000 It would bo inadequate to the demands
made upon It dully. Three thousand peoplo
wereobllgcd tostandout In the street on Friday
whon Gen. Tracy and Chauncey M. Depcw spoke.
Any suspicion that tho crowd was there only on
account of tho prominence of tho speaker
was removed tho next day, when all
the spnakcrs savo one were business men, and
tlio crowd was bo great thnt for a while it
blockod tralllu ou both Broadway end Hlecckcr

bun scratching his head and trying to figure It
out.
"This country had a bad four years under tbe
Democratic administration. I came East during
that period, expecting to find you starving on
tbo street from all I had heard. Things didn't
look very different, although there was no doubt
but what tbe bard times were here as well as
everywhere else. I was talking with an old
farmer In tbo West about It when I got back,
and bo was very much disgusted. ' Why,' ho
said, 'them fellers don't know what hard time
is. Why. we'vo been sopoorout hero that we've
had to manure the graveyardB to give the boys
strength enough to get up on resurrection
morning.'
"Friend, opposed to Gen. Tracy a man has
come forward as a candidate for Mayor In your
city who professes to be a Republican. Tho
fraud Is apparent, because Republicans don't
train with Mugwumps, Socialists, and any other
old thing they can pick ud for the deliberate pur
pose of defeating the grand old party. Great
cheering.
"This man say that this election I just a
little local affair, but don't vou believe it. Don't
belike tbe man who went hunting for prairie
hens, loaded with bird shot and meta bear. Just
load for bear and be ready for anything you may
happen to meet. Tho bear shot'll kill the prairlo
hen just ns well as tbe blr shot."
Congressman James S. Sherman of Utlca spoke

" Every Republican in the Union Is concerned
In this election. A victory now may decide tho

The Republican chieftains In nrooklyn were
brimful of confldenco yesterday, the reports of
the house-to-house canvassers, which kept com

have been making Inroads both on tho Low and
Van Wyck columns, Tho extravagant claims
for low were punctured right and loft Just as
soon hb the district canvassers got to work, nnd
a general review of the situation makes It ab
solutely certain to the Republican managers
that tho Cits' Union candidate will cut almost
as sorry a figure at tbo polls as Edward M,
Bhcpard did two years ago, and Gen. John B.
Woodward, another Cits' candidate. In lSTi.
Tho relative strength of Tracy nnd Low may
bo Judged by a careful canvnss of tlio volo In tho

" Kvcrythlng Is ns satisfactory ns wo could

Although this wa not news to the ma
jority of Republican In Greater New
York. Mr. Low bas all along bidden
himself behind the cloak of Republican
ism, so tbat few Republicans really believed
that Low was not a traitor to tbo party tbat
had once plao.d him at the hoad of a great city
government. He had been declaring each night
tbatbe just wanted toglvehomeruletoGreater
New York and to separate national and munici
pal Issue'. In other words, that bo was a Re
publican when national questions were at stake,
but an independent on o ty Issues.
"Don't lot these outside statesmen these Sena
tors from otber States come in hore and confuse
your minds." he said, "but stand by the Citi
zens' Union, so tbat when you have elevated
your men they will be in olllce what you chose
them to be. If you olect your olllcer with
tbe Implied idea that ho is to build up
his national party he'll doit. But on the other
hand if yoti elect men who are pledged to think
of tho city only they will not attempt to build
up their party or organization. Tbe man who
tries todo both of tbeso things is llko a man who
tries to ride two horscB at tho same time. If tho
horses begin to separate he has got to select one
or the other. Fleet your JMnjor with a single
duty to perform and hold him to It."
In other words, Mr. low gnvo his hearer to
undrrstund thnt he cared nothing for the na
tional Kepubllcan party; tbat he had selected
the horso which he intended to ride, and that
horse was not tbo sort of a horse which ho had
ridden a fow years ago.
He spoke nt five meetings In Brooklyn. Tho
biggest of t e meet ugs which ho addressed was
that at the Clermont Avenue Rink. Hero for
the first time since the campaign opened a om
mittee had failed to 111) tho hall. On every other
occasion at nil the meetings held In the Rink this
j ear the building has been crowned. Last nlgbt
there were Icbb than 1,500 people there.
Tho list of speakers ut the Rink was the same
a that at the otber four moctlngs, one of which
was at Flatbush. where the Cits managed to
corral a crowd of women In Schwalbacb's ball.
Mr. Low begged and pleaded with the audi
ence for votes.
While the meeting at the Rink wa In progress
one of Mr. Low's admirers Bald to another In a
whisper:
"I'm very sorry for Mr. Low, He knows he
has no earthly chance of being elected. Ho told
a friend of his. Mr. Wasserman, In Now York a
few days ago. that Brooklyn was all right, and
that he would do well on this sldo of tho river,
but that New York would glvo him fow votes!
I am very sorry for hlni. because he Ib now on
the verge of nervous prostration, and a defeat
might prove serious to his health.''

ford, Ireland, by Oliver Cromwell in person.
It was taken In a singular way. Tho citi
zens, aided by Lord Ormond, had for a consider
able period kept the Ironsides at bny, whon two
brothers named Croker, in the army of Crom
well, ncroaent with thirty musket era to set
Uroto a few houses inn suburb. So great a
moke was raised tbat the Irish fled, leaving
some of their ladders on the ramparts. One of
Iho Croker said to tho other, It would be a
brave thing If they should Bet upon the town and
take it.
So calling their thirty men together they
mouutd the wall, ruehod Into the town, halloo
ing and tiring aa they advanced, the noise and
Binoko concealing their numbers, so that the in
habitants believed the whole Kngllsh army w ere
b t upon them, and abandoned tho clly, Ono of
tho Croker was killed, the other, however,
opened tho gate to Cromwell. So far the circum
stance Is recorded by the coiimy historian; und
there is a family tradition whi h states
(but tho Protector was so well pleased
with tho reckless bra wry of the sur
viving Croker, or rather with its results, that he
wrote, resting the paperon the pommel of his
