NEW YORK ELECTS MAYOR. DOWN Itl GET METIIODS. NEW YORK, Sept. 117. —There in much of’ interest, in the elect ion for the Mayor of New York. During itlio raucous intervals *of the light which is ragingat the moment of writing people do not bother to read the comic newspaper strips. The leading articles arc far funnier. The gloves are 'off, and newspaper hints about the- morals of candidates are subtle. Most of the really redblooded stuff comes from the IJ.oaral papers, and deals with the Candida In who, as a lawyer, defended some corporation:. who were charged with having sold impure meat. That is held against him. If he had been a. criminal lawyer he would be charged with being a friend of murderers and crooks, with a pretty broad hint that he was probably worse than they. Just glance at a. few slices of a leading article in the New York American:
“The heeler will go (to the elections). The gangster, the gambler, the dealer in vice, the sellers of rotten meat, the minions of the traction barons—all of these will go. And all of them will vote for little Jimmie Walker, with a bad odor of putrid meat still clinging to him.
