Greatest Political I'ight in the
History of the Metropolis.
CHANcEs r03 EVERYBODY
Van Wyck Still the Favorite and
Some Reason to:- lt—The Chances
Are that Senator Platt‘s Ticket
\Vill Be Third.
New York, Oct. 25.—There has never
been a more interesting political fight
in New York than the one over the
Mayoralty now in progress. Of course,
nothing on a. similar scale has ever
been seen. Four parties fighting to di-
vide, say, 510,000 votes,'and every one
of "them in the race with a favorite at
2 to 1 against the field.
The chances for victory still favor
Van Wyck, but sentiment is growing
for Low, and if it contiues to grow
until the close of the week the result
There are some 30,000
to 40,000 voters who have not made up
their minds whether to vote for Low
or for Tracy.
Low Gains on You ‘Vyck.
If Low ,shows a. decided and unmis—
takable advantage over Tracy these
votes‘will go to him in a. body. The
Republicans know this andare going
almost to the limit of absurdity in
making claims in order to hold the Re-
publican vote.
The strength of Low among business
men is indicated by a declaration in
his favor signed by'141 members of
the sugar and coffee trade. Mayor
Strong says that a week ago he did
not believe that Low could win, but.
that the change of sentiment in the
last few days had convinced him that
he had been mistaken.
As yet there is a chance against
Van Wyck. It is the unknown factor
in George’s vote. Not that it is likely
to help George, but it may defeat the
favorite and elect Low.
It must be remembered that George
will stand for the labor and silver
men, and it is said also for the dis-
gruntled Tammany men. The latter
need not be considered, and the others
cannot be counted. There is no way
to count them. There is a reasonable
chance that they will vote solid for
George. It is also possible that they
will break into smithereens and divide
their vote everywhere. If. they could
be depended upon, the forecast of the
election would be easy.
Tummuny’s Forces.
The fact is, the saloon vote of New
York will go nearly solid‘ for Van
Wyck. In Greater New York that
means about 70,000. Then there are
the truck drivers and owners that
have been grievously offended by Col.
Waring, who has forced them to re-
move the trucks from the streets. They
are all sure for the Democratic ticket.
001. Waring says he removed 10,000 of
them, and there are 10,000 old office-
holders. There are 55,000 enrolled
Democratic voters in Brooklyn and
then there’s the floating sentimental
vote. If all these can be counted upon,
a:lt means well up to 185,000 for Van
Wyck, The party managers speak of
210,000.
Low’s Honse-to-House Canvass.
The Low managers are not so well
supplied with money as are the 'Re-
publicans, and they have been forced
to curtail some of their campaign
plans. They are engaged, however, in
an active house-to-house canvass, the
result of which they will make public
this week.
Low’s election in New York City
means the smash of the Republican
machine. George’s election means dis-
aster to Tammany. Tracy’s chances
are not to be considered—at least not
to—day. It is the unexpected, however,
that happens, and where the factors
and complications are so many one
may look for most any result. Still,
for the present, Tracy may be left out
of view in TE spect to his own chances.
George Set Against Crokel‘a
George’s friends are trying to per-
suade him to abandon his bitter'per-
sonal attack on Croker, but he will
not listen to them. In response to
Croker’s interview, in which he called
George "contemptible," George said:
"In regard to Croker’s answer to my.
attack upon his character, I simply
say, .“Where did he get it?’ .If I were
In a position to obtain legal advice I
would ask how he got the money. If
I: am elected Mayor the first thing I
will do will be to set the machinery at
work to send him to the penitentiary.
C will go before the grand jury if I am
elected Mayor of New York. I think
the coming of Carter Harrison to help
l‘ammany in merolycone corrupt ma-
chine assisting another. I think I will
be elected.”
The George people count on a poll
that will very nearly reach the regis-
tration, which was 567,000, and look for
at least 545,000 voters, of which they
yield to Low, 130,000; Van Wyck,l125,—
000, and Tracy, 05,000, with 20,000 scat-
tering. That will seat their man with
175,000. Their calculation on George is
based on the vote of 1886, when he ran
on an independent ticket. He did not
have the indorsement of any natidnal
men. He had no organization; he had
no money. To-day he claims as his
the Chlcagopplatform. ‘He favors the
zeniiments which came near electing
Bryan as President of the United
States. lie has the support of many
national Democrats, a support which
Tammany despises, and he claims that
Tammany is in a. state of disorder
such as did not exist when Hewitt de-
feated their candidate. George has a
good organization behind him now,
there even appear: to be some money
and looking for a repetition of the
oneothird vote they see 'in that a. se-
cure hope of his election.
There were. two political bicycle pa-
rades Saturday night. That in favor
if Van Wyck was the largest, and it
_ was estimated that 10,000 wheelmen
of this city and Brooklyn were in line.
That in support of Tracy was smaller
and contained a number of women.-
Van Wyck reviewed the Democratic
oarade. "

Our Readers Are Face to
‘ ’ Face With an unavoid-
able Question.

‘/
When the great Hume, the free-
thinker, was asked by a lady of Bath,
Eng., whom Would he depend upon the
more, servants who conscientiously be-
lieved int’he truths of eternal revela-
tion, or those who professed to hold
his own opinions, he frankly answered
the former.
When are readers are asked whose
statements can be depended upon the
more, scores of our citizens or one or
two desultory selections picked at hap-
hazard from our broad Republic, the
answer must frankly be, Norwalk
people every time: The only state-
ments that appear at the foot of any
proprietary medicine advertisements in
N orwalk papers, obtained from a pure-
ly local source, are these appended to
the reading notices published by Doan’s
Kidney Pills. The inference is too ap-
parent to waste time mentioning it.

Lord Belle, :1 man eighty years old and .

and without waiting for a reply she

The confusion ceased when the choir
sang “This is the Day,” etc. The peo-

and followed the Archbishop to the al-
tar. She laid aside the crown and
scepter, and knelt to receive the sacra-
ment. She then resumed her “ensigns
of myalty,” and returned to the throne
till the communion service was fin-
ished, and with this the ceremony of
the coronation of Queen Victoria came
to an end. She had been in the Abbey
four hohrs and a half when she was
permitted to enter her state coach to
return to the palace. Her finger pained
her, and the orb she was obliged to
carry made her wrist ache. Whenever
she bowed her acknowledgements to
the people the crown would become
displace-d. Both hands were occupied
holding the orb and scepter, nd it was
impossible for her to adjust the impe-
rial diadom; but the Duchess of Suth-
erland, who was with her in the car-
riage, assisted'her as well as she could.
It seemed so ludicrous that Her Maj-
esty could not restrain her mirth, and
she burst into a merry pool of laugh-
ter. At last all was ended; but before
the weary head was placed upon its
pillow she had sent to inquire if Lord
Rolle was quite well. Lord Greville
says: “It is in fact the remark-able
union of naivete, kindness and good
nature with propriety and dignity
which makes her so admirable and so
endearing to those about her."—Har-

ONLY COLORED VIOMAN LAWYER.
She Enjoys a. Unique Distinction and is a
Success at the Bar.
"Miss Ida Platt, the colored lawyer,
occupies a unique position in the world
of jurisprudence. 'Beside being the
only colored woman lawyer in Chicago
she is the only'woman of her race who
has ever been admitted to the bar of
Illinois. and the only one in active
practice in the country.
It was once remarked by Professor
Abbott of Northwestern University’s
law school that women in general are
not a success as law students. In or-
der to pass the examination in Profes-
sor Abbott’s department a student’s
standing must be 85 units. He based
his statement on the number of fall-
ures and close escapes made by white
women. When Miss Platt was gradu-
ated from the institution in which she
took her training her average was 96'
units. Professor Abbott was surprised
to discern an exception to his rule in
this able and modest young colored
woman. She was graduated from the
Chicago College of Law in June, 1894,
and received then her license to prac-
tice at the Illinois bar.
One of the judges of the supreme
court, when he affixed his signature ,to
the license admitting Miss Platt, said:
f‘W’e have done this day what we
never did before—admitted a colored
woman to the bar.”
Since that time Miss Flatt has rap-
idly risen in her profession. She has
_ won the respect and admiration of her
fellow barristers and gained for her-
self a wide clientele. On account or
her ease in German and French con‘
versation, she has a patronage particu-
larly of foreigners. The work which
she pursues does not entail public ap-
pearance in the courtroom. She avoids
that order of practice as much as pos-
sible, and devotes her attention to pro-
bate and real acetate work—Chicago
