Mayor Low Has Spoken 150,- 000 Words and Col. McClel- lan Nearly 260,000 in This Whirlwind Campaign. WHIRLWIND BATTLE COMES TO A CLOSE Hard Struggle for’ Votes After Quick and:«Sur4 prising Changes at the Start. T will be all off to-night. Through the calm of Sunday and the commrative I quiet of Monday the arguments of the campaigners will be allowed to sink in, unless, as was the case two years ago, r the other of thes parties concludes to make a whipping finish on Monday night. Considering the questions at issue it has been an exciting and hard-fought campaign. In point of startling changes and reverses it has outclassed anything New York has geen for years. Shrewd politics has been played on both sides, and not until Tuesday nigtt will it be known whether Charles F. Murphy or R. Fulton Cutting has correctly gauged the sentiment of the peaple of New York. The leaders of the movement were chosen long ago. It was practically necessary for ¢he fusionists to renominate Mayor Low. To have discarded him would have been a fatal admission of weakness, althoughmany in his party com- batted the {dea of haying him lead the ticket again. As for George B. Mc- Clellan, he has been the candidate ever since CharleseF. Murphy became rthe leader of Tammany Hall. SOME OPPOSITION TO Low. In the preliminary agitation onthe fusioniat side there developed so much opposition to the renomination of the Mayor that the leaders were mone or less frightened. The Greater New York Democracy was wavering and Borouga President Cantor had, by iis actions, debarred himself from consideration, The Influence of the Republican machine and the Citlzens’ Union predoménated, and Mayor Low was told that the nomination was his if he desired it. He wrote a diplomatic letter to the fusion conférrees, acknowledging oppo- sition and expressing himself willing to step aside for a man who might be con- sidered atronger candidate. But he made it plain that he rather expeoted the renomination, and that he would like to haye Comptroller Grout and President of the Board of Aldermen Fortes on the ticket again. At this time Mr. Grout was In Europe, From an Inspired source the an- nouncement came that he would refuse to run, But, after his return he took a couple of days for consultation with friends and then announced that he would accept a renomination. _The velvet gas-house hand of Charles F. Murphy appeared at thisratage. Mr. Murphy sent a trusted Heutenant to see Mr. Grout and another to see:Mr. Fornes. Ho offered them the Tammany indorsement without conditions. ) DIDN'T OBJECT, SAYS GROUT. Mp, Grout says that hé put the proposition before the Mayor, and the Mayor did not object, although the Mayor does not recollect the occurrence, It ts cer- tain ¢hat Mr, Grout told Mr, R. Fulton Cutting of the Tammany offer and that Mr, Cutting did not object at that time, In fact in an’ interview printed In. all teh newspapers he sald that he believed the Tammany indorsement of Grout and Fornes would help the fuston ticket. Mr. Cutting then experienced a cl:ange of mind and an effort was made to get Mr. Grout to refuse the nomination from Tammany Hall, He would not consider the desires of the fuston leaders and was plainly told that if he did not spurn the offer of Tammany Hall he would be put off the ticket. ME LAUGHLIN All that was needed to make the cam- paign just closing a modern whirlwind In the real sense of a whirlwind was flying machines for the two candidates tor Mayor to flit about in. They have covered more ground, talked to more persons and wasted more sleep than candidates for Mayor of New York have ever done before. All this ground-covering and talking has been made possible by automobiles and good lungs. Since the campaign opened in earnest, or, rather, since the candidates took the slump and began saying things about each other, Mayor Low has made thirty political speeches and Col. McClellan has made thirty-four. Nobody knows, and p bly no one will ever know how many words were spoken by these two men, but ft is safe to say that the Mayor has orated about 150,000 words, Col. McClellan has read from his manuscripts nearer 200,000, The real speech-making between the candidates did not begin in earnest uatll Col. McClellan turned loose his man’ script on Mayor Low In his speech accepthace at the Hoffman STouse, A few hours latet Mayor Low was having his say Valon. ‘Tamn Battle of Oratory. ‘The battle of oratory was resumed the following Monday and has continued ever since. Mayor Low whirled about the east side, over cobble-stones and through dark streets. Four times he ad- dressed meetings, and then his ¢haut- feur turned Brooklynwards Col, McClellan was not one whit less busy. ‘Three times he addressed meet- ings In Manhattan, and Mayor Low's automobile was lurhberIng across. the further end of the bridge when the Tam- many candidate came spinning along be- hind him. Tuesday found both candidates up aad doing before the sun had risen high in the heavens, Five speeches each the about ny at Cooper \THIS Bens aHE MANU- SCRIPT night before had been a lung-tester, but they were able to staad even harder tests, They spoke once each that day, and the reat of their time-was spent in preparing speeches and denying cam- palgn yarns, Thursday, enight found Mayor Low steaming toward Staten Island, where there were two Richmond C audl- eneds waiting to hear him. His dutomo- bile spun from one meeting to the other. There was expectation chat he would refuse to run on the night of the notiqé cation meeting at the home of Mayor Low, but he accepted with the rest. Mr. Tornes just trailed along, doing whatever Mr. Grout did. Tho situation was serious for fusion, With two men on their ticket who were slated to be placed on the Tammany ticket the fusionists were in an embarrassing position. It was decided by the leaders that Grout an@ Fornes must be cast aside, but there was a question as to the legality of the proceeding, inasmuch as they had been regularly nomi- nated by a convention that had adjourned, Eminent lawyers said that a new convention to name new candidates for Comptroller and President of the Board f Aldermen would have the sanction of the law, and preparations were made to call such a convention. Mr, Grout engaged counsel and threatened to contest any attempt to remove his name from the ticket, ‘The fusionists went along undismgyed by these threats, and their convention named for Comptroller Frederick W. Hinrichs and for President of the Board of Aldermen Edward J, McGuire, independent Democrats. Mr. Grout and Mr, Fortes made no attempt to contest these nom!- nations, and it became plain that they would be the Tammany candidates alone. In the mean time the pulitical deal by which Grout and Fornes had been taken from the fusion ticket by Chatles F. Murphy had caused a lot of trouble in the Democratic party, Hugh McLaughlin, the venerable Brooklyn leader, announced that he could not support these men. Jlis lieutenants in the County Committ. who went to the Democratic Club to confer with the Tammany members of the New York County Committee were ¢urned down, Finally Mr. Murphy sent word to Mr. McLaughlin that he would name the whole ticket. Mr. McLaughlin replied that little as he fancied McClellan he would support him, but that on the other two he would bolt. + One of the biggest Tammany conventions ever held nominated McClellan, Grout and Fornes, The Brooklyn delegation voted for «he nomination of M Clellan andsagainst the nomination of Grout and Fornes, almost to a man, but they were outvoted nearly two to one. THE BOLT OF M’LAUGHLIN, Then Mr, McLaughlin bolted, He nominated a ¢icket of his own in Brooklyn, Col. McClellaa defles a man to speak oftener than he.
