Urorse.
Bets upon the result of the Mayoralty election,
made prior to the death of Henry George,
were generally cancelled yesterday, and the
money was returned hy tho stakeholders. This
was looked upon as tho fairest course under tho
extraordinary circumstances. A very largo
amount of money In the aggregato had been
wagered on the Stock Kxchange, fn the Wall
street district, at tho uptown hotels nnd sport
ing men's resorts, and. In fact, nil over
town upon the respective probabilities of
success of the various candidates. The
death ot Mr. George. It was ruled
by the sporting experts, put a radical and unlooked-for
change upon tho situation, because
of which equity demanded the calling off of all
bets. Among the well-known betting men up
town who united In declaring bets otlwcreJoo
Ullman, Harrr Harris, George Wheeloek, Sam
Emory, Davo Gideon, Ulley Grannan. Fred Del
anger, and Jack McDonald.
Word was rocclved at tho Mctropole Hotel
last night that tho Ilookmakers' Club bad ap
pointed a committee to consider the matter of
election bets made before Henry George's doath.
and that tho commtttou had decided that all
em b bets must be declared off.
This decision, it was sntd, was made on the
precedent sol by tho poolrooms In 18711. w en
nil bets on the result of tho ''residential election
were declared utf on tho appointment or the
Electoral Commission. At that time John Mor
rlsscv returned all money placed In his plae-e.
and Kcllj &: llllss and other poolroom men did
the same thing.
Tb.!rn wcrn nnmo nrntehts mndi. last nli?hl.
against this decision. Charley Davis and others
said that the precedent was not a fnir ono be
cause Morrisscy returned tho money he bad ns
he stood to lose a big boodle personally. Tho
otlicr poolroom men, he Bald, wero forced to
follow Morrisscv 's lead,
Tho bookmakers aci cptcd the decision last
night, how over, and the) wero busy fixing up
their books and returning stake money. Some
of them replaced the bets at the same or now
odds.
Jon Vendlg sold that he had lo wipe .f (1.500 oft
his book, and he was trying to make a new ono
with odds against Irncv, I.o, nnd George. He
offered no figures on Vim Wj ck. To prnic-stants
against declaring oil hols niade that no candi
date would get more votes than a certain other
lamlldntc, Vendlg said:
"This Is not a horse rure, bovs. There aro ao
man) ballots to bo rnst. If the number nf condl
dates or tho candidates nro chnnged that may
nnili rlnlly nficit the way the ballots will bo
cat. If a horse Issi ratchi'd in a race ho can't

nu Bihaastlan FalurnllT Apparent While Ha
Was Rpeaklnr aa Thursday lehl.
If eve a man appeared to be fighting In the
shadow of death Henry Georgo did on Thurs
day night whllo ho was epeaklng in the future
borough ot Queens and nt the Central Opera
House in New York. His fellow campaigners
and the reporters who found him on the 7:20
train at Long Island City, which was to tnko
lilm to Whllestono, noticed his pallor and ex
haustion at onco. He sat In tho corner of tho
cent. Ho had slipped down so that his head
rested in tho nnglo between tho end of tbe seat
and tho window. His pnlo fnco was thrown far
back, so thut he had to hold his hand over bis
eyes to shield them from tho light In tho chan
delier above. Ills wlfo sat bealdu him. Sho
was much worried. Kvery moment or two sho
would turn to him with an expression of con
cern nnd ndjust tho folds of his cout so that 'no
draught from a crack In tho window- :ould strike
him.
There was a constant conversation all tho
way out to Whltcstono among friends on tho
seat In front of tho candidate and one or two
men who sat behind him. Mr. Georgo tried nt
first to seem Interested In what they were
iaylng nndlput a word or two Into the conversa
tion, but even that seemed to Involve exertion.
Ho closed bis e)os nnd bllppcd a little further
down in his seat. There was a waxen pallor
about his face.
Ills wlfo's nervousness Increased. The men
on either side be came fierce In their argument.
Its subject was something about tho blavoulc
element, in the laboring poi illation. Now and
then tho disputants appealed to Mr. George.
Ho would stir himself a littlo, half opn his c)es,
and s.i), "Yes. undoubtedly," in n non-committal,
uninterested wa), and lapse again Into
the Bluuoi that Mrnieil to envelop him. Only
when tno train stopped nt the stations did ho
rouse himself. Ho would ctart us out of a
dream and cry excltcdl) :
"Well, here wo are. Why don't you get outl
This Is our station, iMi't itl"
Then lie would sink back Into tho corner
again when toid that he was not even half way
to Wbltci-tone, and say almo-t petulantly:
"Well,:i wish wo.could get there. Tins train
is very kIow."
When he was finally told that he had reached
Whltestone. Mrs. George had almost to sup
port lilm out of tho car. Ho stumbled on tho
BtcpB, but did not fall, because her arm and
that of Mr. Cahoteon, who was directing tho
trip, wero around him. He was fairly lifted into
his carriage.
Tho reporters did not see him ngaln until he
millri-rl In Ih.. front, nf the rilHtff.rtn In ttiA
Whitts'ono hull. Ho bad gathered up quite n
little strength by this tlma and his head was
held high and his shoulders were thrown back
squuroly; but his voice told the etory. It was
fully as earnest and ns intense ns ev er, but the
ordinary deep, rich tones were nil out of tunc
Tho effect wus homethlnp like the bound thnt is
mado when a mischievous child Is meddling
with tho wires lushlo a piano. 'Ihe richness
and the sweetness of the tones were suggested
only to be made a mmkci) bv (Uncords. When
ho came to tho old sememe, which ho repeated
in almost cvi-iy speech ot tho cnmpaigu, und
until then with proud, delimit fulness, "Who I
am. what I stand for, jou know," tho full efTou,
of his exhaustion was plain.
"Whu I nm " ho said wearily, and took a
long breath and looked around tho crowd ns If
ho were not ejulto Biiro what ho was going to say
next. Then with another effort ho pulled him
self tngethir and went on with the noxlctniiso
In the bcntciicn-
"What I Btnnd for," ho continued in a lono
which bounded mom like a groan of despair
than an uiicrtinu of principle, and then, al
most ill n whisper, ho sighed, "1 think you
know,"
As If it wero altogether an afterthought, ho
started to make the usual gesture with which
ho uccompanled tho words. Instead nf tho
wide, full-linn sweep. slgnlf)lug his complete
surrender of himself to his audience, he ,,rfil
his hand about half wav to his shoulder ami let
It fall heavily hack to his bide. Mrs. t.rorgii
started out of her chair and thou, as sho saw
.hut Mr. Ueorge wus going to go on, leanod buck
again.
Alter Mr. Genrgn had takon up his hat to
leave the hall ho turned hack and wnlked to tho
f i nut of tho stngo again and spoko In a ver) low
tone; hut sonic how over) body In tho room was
perfectly nblo to lu-ur lilm.
"1 would llko lo tulk with you a long tlmo,
but that mny not be," ho said. "I only sav,
choose for ) ourselves. At any rate, I am our
friend. Hood-by."
Thero wus so strong a note of personal affec
tion In his voice thnt tho crn.-tl secnicil to feci
tho necessity of responding to It In kind. As
ho walked with his vvlfoslovvly tiithiuloor, tak
ing short, careful slops, people pushed ono an
other anil ctuig-'lccl to reach him and lay their
hands lor a moment nu his clothing. All tho
whllo they cheered wildly, dcvo'cilly.
Tho return to tho station was moelo at a
gallop, hut the train was late. T ho reporter of
u pupcr which was largely responsible for
Henry George's cntrnnco into tho campaign,
but later tumid Its back upon lilm, had been In
structed to nsk Mr, Georgo a question. Ho
nit down besldu the candiduto mid nskod tho
iliieation. Mr. Georgo turned to him plena
mitlj, If vvuni-llv.
"Whut pafier did )ou say?" ho asked.
Tho man told tho mime nf tho paper.
"Ihat," said .Mr. George, loiicll), "is an Insult.
II a nu insult for mi) man from that paper to
enter the baino room with mo."
Tho s oung man upnloirlzcd and paid that
he didn't ii"dcrbtnnd.
"lio back lo tho man who sontjou hero,"
nnlil Mr, Giorgo In quavering tones. "Give
him my compliments and lull lilm that he has
Insulted mo b) bending you here to insult me.
Hi. will understand. Ho will understand, I
say."
Ho Jumped up und walked out Into tho middle
of tho floor. ....
"When Is that train coming, nn)wnyl" he
cried petulantly, "Why doesn't it conioj I
don't want to have tn slay hem any longer. 1
tluiuifl't wo wero uoliig to gut tho train uo soon
as wo got hero.'
In his exhaustion and weakness ho was liken
tired, angry child, .Mrs. George went to Mm,
ilnivv him back In the seat, nnd tulkod to him
quietly. Ho said hardly another word until
he reached tho hall win re ho was to spcuk In
Colli go l'oiiit. , ,
liu had to ko up two flights of stairs lo reach
tho hall and hod to pas through n crowd thnt
had boon waiting outsldo for lilm to come nnd
jostled him In Its ontrcrneru tn reach scats orn,
standing plnco where ho loold bo heard. Tho
nlr was thick nnd bad. Mr. (li onto had hardly
reached tho platform when ho bcenino very III.
Dnti Heard, Ihe nrtlBt, who Presided nl tho meet
ing, ronched down ono of his, lung arms nnd
supported the candidate whllo ho wa him out
behind tho chonply pa ntocl scenes of tho littlo
thoalro. Thero Sir. Hoard nnd Mrs. Georgo
worked over tho canclldato for almost ten min
utes. Thoy did not want hlni to speak.
"I shall speak," ho sulci. These pcoplo havo
conio hern becatup I promised to sneak to
them, So long ns I can speak I shall Bpcnk."
He nullod himself to his foot and marched out
on tho platform. In this speech hopeeiuod very
uncertain uf his vvnnls. He reached back Into
his Inst bonlenco to Unci a i lie fur his next.
Sometimes thero wero painful, though llirllllng
pauses, between his Idcus. I o over) ono on tho
platform his ctlort to speak wns bo painful that
It was hard to pay nny lUtontloii to what ho wa
saying. Giro lie wild:
r'Thls thing will nil bo settled on tho lid of
September." Hnlf a dozen voices in tho hull
corrected lilm. In the rami) weary, ptulniit
tone that had been breaking out all night, ho
repented with somo emphasis, 'I nnld It will
bo settled oil tho IM of September." No ono
torieitcd lilm this time.
A little later ho was speaking of Selh Low
oncl tho Cltirons' Union campaign. Ho had
not mentioned Mr. low s name, but wns speak
ing nf hint simply as a very oxc elh nt candidate,
I mt furwurd us u reformer, as ho himself had
iccn put forward. ,
"1 would not nsk anybody to votn for him."
ho f aid, "1 shnll not. 1 hero Is n very great dif
ference between Mr. , Mr. -- " and ho
looked nroiind helplessly to tho pcoplo on tho
platform. "I know his nnme," he said angrily
end half under his breath, "Oh, ves; oh, yes,
Mr. Seth. No. that Isn't It, either."
Ho wan groping blindly ns If hn was not even
sure that ho had made u lulslnke. Then light
came lo him, n sudden chnnire that restored nil
his nld-tlmo ussurancc, Urn ntul llrmnrss.
"Thero Is a ver) great dllic rem e bet ween Mr.
Seth Low and m)-cir," ho said, lln spoke
scarcely lifts words more, when he ended with
a laugh, ".My coat Is pulled from behind," ho
tnld. "I am going to Flushing."
The lung rldo in tho" upi n nlr from College
Point tn I lushing levlved him a grod deal. In
the very short speech that heniadcut Fliibhlng
ho repented ctily two of the Ideas ho had
biniiglit torwanl nt the other niictlngs, thoso
regarding .Mr. Low nnd Mr. Crnker, without
straining himself tn put tliein into n new form
or In put any pirllcular force into them Tin n
I hero was tho hour's journey to tho Central
Opel a Hnue.
The crowd rose and cheered ns ho entered
and waited lmpitlently fur Charles Frcdi rick
Adams to imrudmu film. It was ten or fif
teen minutes nftu ho had come In nnd taken
his seat on tho platform before Mr. Adams did
so. Mr. Georgn spoke to him In u low tone
and Mr. ilonis e'lime forwnid and said:
"Mr. Geurgo l-n't quite ready to speak yet.
Ho hns been it, long way to-night and ts rather
out of breath. 1 will continue lo speak myself
until Mr. tleorgi) tells me that he Is ready.
In live minutes more Hi nry George, with his

I was greatly shocked at the nows. I knew
nnd esteemed Mr. l.eorgo pcrsonall) a3atrue.
sincere, and upright citizen. Ho was a man of
carnewt convict Ions and courageous nnd able In
upholding them. All must deplore bis tragio
nnl untimely death, and his family will have
the sympathy of the whole community in their
bereavement."
Seth I,ow dictated this to a stenographer at
tbe Cltizous' Union headquarters:
"The sudden death of Mr. Henry Georgo
under tho stress of the camp. Ign Is a great
trugedy. No soldier on tho battlefield ever
gavo his llfo for his country more evidently
than Mr. George hna laid down his llfo In behalf
of the city of New York. Pure in motive, high
minded, absolutely devoted to tbe service
of bis fellow men, as he thought tbey
could beat bo served, ha has fallen In the
thick of the fight battling ngalnst tho tyr
anny and corruption of one-man power
controlling a political machine and thus
deprlvlnsr the people at once of their rights ns
freemen and of tho control of the Government
of the city in tho public Interest. I would like
to avail of this opportunity to express to the
family of Mr, George my sincere sympathy in
their irreparable loss,
" During tbe campaign Mr. George repeatedly
recngnired that fundamentally this la a flcht
ngalnst bosslsm and all that that implies of po
litical degradation and corruption. In view ot
Mr. George's death, I wish, therefore, to Bay to
tho people of tho city thnt 1 shall give niysolf
to this contest in their behalf with a new and
hlgkcr resolve, ns though I hnd received It nan,
last charge from his dying lips,"
Justice Van Wyck telegraphed this message
to Mrs. George:
"I nm inexpressibly shocked. No words can
express my regret or my sympnthv."
Richard Croker sent this despatch to Mrs.
Ge orgo:
"Allow me to express my deepest sympathy
for vnu In )nur great bereavement."
Later In tho tiny, when tho Cook County
Marching Club wns at Tammany Hall, Mr.
Crol.cr nddressod thoso present, an) ing;
"I want lo thank Mayor Harrison for bis
v Islt here; and nlso the Cook county Democracy,
I h eve i tew words in sayon another subject.
"Ileiir) Georgo Is dcuil. The intelligence of
his untune!) demlso is a shock to tho entire
coniiiiiinltv.
"In thiihtiit of Ihe canvass ho mado somo
Iiilcmpurjto remarks about mj self. Rut lie has
gone as wo all havo to go. I retain no recollec
tion of what he has said about me. Cheers.
For his f.iiiillyl hnve the warmest sympathy. I
condole Willi them In the groat bereavement

express sympathy with the family. Bald he did
not want to -.pink of tho grsiulour of Henry
Goorgu's character. Ills llfo und tho glory of It,
ho said, empl usled his gro ttuess more than his
clotesl frlendi.it Ibis time could express.
Dr. Mel.lviiii, who nlso called on tho family,
had this to su) in eulogy of Henry George:
" Hour) George wnsunqutstloiiali y one of tho
greatest uud most remurksble men that our
country bus proluccd. Ills lovnhlo personality,
his rare genius for political philusoph) and
cconoiii), his indefatigable uud suicessfiil study
and search for polllual and economic truth set
hint quite nparl from all other Americans.
" I do not think thut it is merely thu enthusi
astic language or itilevotod friend to say thut,
ns the providence of t.od ralseel up a Washing
ton to be tho father of his couuli) and en
dowed him with such gifts anil gave hlni such
experiences that we might well bo'leve that
without them the republic would not havo been
achieved: as in a similar crisis thu rare
gifts and character of a Lincoln were
so plainly providential that no no but
men with little railh In God could
doubt Hint he hnd been prepared far and
sent upon a mission b) thu Fathor in Heaven.
1 have no hesitation in sn) ing that Hour)
George, by his extraordinary gifts and csrcoi,
showed that he vv is marked out by the provi
dence of God to be u foremost leader and touch
er Jn the work of emancipation of the masses
of men everywhere from an industrial slavery
too often worse and more galling than moro
chattel slavery, and to hasten Iho coming and
to pcrpetuato tho duration, nut merely of a
larger and more ucrfect American union of
Stales, but of the commonwealth or United
States of the World."
Illshup Potter sent tho follow Ing message to
Mrs. George:
"Dkau Madam: Mny I offer you my sincere
sympathy In view of the 'treat sorrow tint has
