The Campaign Poet’s Work. Campaign songs are always relied upon to stir up party enthusiasm. This has been in reality a singing campaign, and the re- publicans: especially have had’ everything; from German quartets to~ pickaninny| . choruses. One of their favorite ditties had a refrain running: All cits look alike to me, You can’t get the party vote, you see, ‘Tracy's a much better man forme | ~ Than you, Seth Low, ever dared to be, Though you spend your money free, I know we can’t egree, I don’t like you, nohow, All cits look al'ke to me. In another they pay their respects to Tammany Hall, a parody of the “Bully” song, which contains omirous words in a chorus, the principal words in which are: When November rolls around,round,round— The Citizens’ Union have confined their poetic efforts largely to rhymes of the nursery order. One favorite which appears frequently is: From top to toe, I’m for Seth Low. Altogether, the voter has not lacked en- tertainment or diversion in the present alection. Doubtless the philosopher has been able to extract a lot of quiet amuse- ment from the schemes of the campaign Manager.

Perhaps the most unique scheme of pre- senting municipal issues has been hit upon by the Citizens’ Union. They have as- sumed responsibility for the present re- form administration of New York, and their campaign is partly devoted to show- ing the advantages which it has brought to the city. To do this they have employed the cinematograph to show moving views of the reformed police on parade, the march of the “white wings,” the condition of the streets at present and before the administration of Col. Waring, and other pictures of a similar nature. The stereopti- con has been brought into play for a sim- ilar purpose, both during indoor and out- door metings. This application of a popu- lar attraction to campaign purposes has been very successful in attracting crowds to tne meetings. The older campaign directors are inclined to scoff at their utility as vote gatherers. Just how effective they are in this respect may not appear. even on election day, for since their first in- troduction both the republicans and Tam- many Hall have taken them up, until Broadway is lined with a panorama of views calculated to appeal to the pass- ing citizen. One of Tammany’s favorite ylews represents the “reform” police spy- ing for excise violations, while a thug sandbags and robs a passerby in the street. Pictures of the candidates always form @ prominent part of the campaign deco- rations, and it is interesting to notice that they represent those worthy individuals as of every nationality from Scandinavian to Hottentot, according to the taste of the artist or the peculiarity of the con- Stituency to which he wishes to appeal. In the uptown districts Gen. Tracy Is pic- tured as a pleasant American gentleman, but in Little Italy his features are mo led after those of Garibaldi, while on the East Side they take on a pronounced He- braie cast. In the district about Central Park Seth Low is shown in cap and gown, but in Grand street he is pictured in a flan- nel shirt and with the general appearance of a workingman. Unique Kite Banners.

The members of the boards are in the classified service and are pald by fees. It is understood that the civil service commission will make a strong protest against this course of procedure. At the pension office it is said that good reasons exist for such action. It ‘s said that during the Harrison administration these boards were made non-partisan. Two members were appointed from the party in Campaign banners are endless in number and design. One of the most unique yet devised was displayed recently by a resi- dent of Staten Island, who ts an enthusias- uc Kite flyer. He sent up two strings of kites with a big banner suspended between them, bearing the legend “Seth Low” and the candidate's picture.

Another striking kite piece consisted of two e Chinese kites, one representing a tiger and the other ‘an elephant. By deft anipulation of the Kite strings the two ani- ais were made to-fight a duel in midair, to the delight of a crowd of spectators on the ground. In other places kites have been used to suspend American flags, pic- tures of the candidates and various other blems. When the republicans had their first grand raily in Brooklyn they hit upon a novel and effective scheme which utilized the famous trolleys of that city. Each dis- trict delegation was conveyed to the meet- ng on a special trolley car and these ca «re decorated in many fantastic way: Mest of them carried a profusion of red, white and blue lights, pictures of party candidates and a generous amount of bunting. Some had banners hung along the sides with mottoes more or less re- markable for their originality. One of these combining the names of the candi- dates read: “Van Wyck ts pretty Low, by George, but Ben Tracy’s all right!” One can tind no better comparison for this long line of gaily adorned cars than the bli zoned cages of a traveling circus. The po- litical trolley party may have existed be- fore this season, but it is certainly near to being a novelty, Electric Electioneering. Electric light has often been utilized for campaign effects. The bicycle has been utilized not only because of its facility for transporting ward workers, but because a certain modification of it can be combined With electricity to produce a startling’ ef- fect. A eycle delivery cart—the kind in which a package box is carried between two rear wheels—was filled with storage batteries, the current from waich was used to light up incandescent lamps arranged un a stand above the box so as to form the name of a prominent candidate. It has been proposed by some Brooklyn politicians to rig up a float which could be pulled along the tracks of trolley rail A trolley pole would supply current enough te operate a huge searchlight on the float. Long insulated cables reaching out in frent of the float would be grasped by two lcng lines of men. Each man would have an incandescent lamp on his brightly pol- ished helmet, and current for these would be supplied through the cables. With the gleam of the incandescent lamps on the helmets and the rays from the searchlight flashing to and fro, the whole arrangement will present a very imposing spectacle in- deed, if 1t 1s carried out. ae The Political Tableau. The prohibition party, which makes a brave showing in the campaign in spite of a discouragingly small vote at election time, has a new stage piece this year. The tableau is an amplification of the “horrible example,” who has served as the stock in trade of the temperance orator for years. The difficulty with the horrible example was that he was apt to reform under the eloquence of the orator,and then, of course, Mistakes some- method, it is claimed, gave veterans confi- dence that they should receive fair treat ment, no matter what their politics should be. But when the democratic administri- tion came in, it is said, this method was changed so that the boards were made up solely of democrats, which caused veterans to feel that thelr cases would not get as fair treatment as they might otherwise receive. The pension bureau has received many complaints from soldiers who think their cases are prejudiced if they are ex- amined by a board made up wholly of democrats. For this reason many of them have demanded re-examinations, with the result of giving the bureau much add!- tional and, it !s thought, unnecessary work. It is for this reason, pension office official. say, that new boards have been appointed. They do not think the democratic boards would discriminate against republican sol- diers appearing before them, but they can- not persuade the soldiers to have the same confidence. For this reason, it is said, the action is being ‘taken In pursuance of prac- tical business methods. sees REED’S DESIRE FOR BLOOD. | Bolero Jackets as illustrated, Colored Man Threatens to Murder Several Citizens. H8nry Reed, colcred, started on a most bloodthirsty campaign Friday evening last, and it was only through the medium of overpowering numbers that his eager hand was stayed, and life, in all probability, saved. As it was, Reed did enough to war- rant Judge Kimball today in the Police Court in sentencing him to jail for six months for assault and in placing him un- der a real estate bond of $200 in view of certain threats he had uttered. The reputation of Reed for peace and good order is not very good. He has served time in the penitentiary, and therefore Mrs. Maria Baker, the proprietress of a store on 9th street, was not at all desirous that the man should lolter about her place of busi- ness. She ordered him away, she told Judge Kimball, as she suspected him of stealing from her, and he thereupon threat- ened io set fire to the establishment. Reed rushed into the store Friday even- ing, said Mrs. Baker, and, grasping a butcher knife from a counter, dashed at her, with the remark that he meant to terminate her earthly career. At the criti- cal moment, however, others appeared on the scene and took the would-be assailant away. Mrs. Baker assured the court that she was “scared to death of Reed.” Henry Johnson, employed by Mrs. Baker, testifled that before entering the store on the occasion described Reed drew a razor on the witness. “I struck him with a club and knocked him down,” stated Johnson. “When he got up he said he was going to fix Mrs. Bake! James Baker, son of the complaining wit- ness, explained that Reed had threatened to disembowel him. In his defense Reed declared that the prosecution was a conspiracy. concocted to send him back to the penitentiary. He de- nied emphatically all that was alleged to have happened Friday last. Judge Kimball apparently had no doubt about the facts, for he promptly took the action stated. “Oneita” Underwear “Seconds.” - . 98¢ d9C For Ladies’ $1.75 Suits. For Misses’ $1.50 Suits.
