Mr. Grout made the following statement to day I see a great deal In print as to how I came to be nominated. I have already called attention to the fact that last April the Eagle suggested me as a mayoralty candidate. In the spring and summer the subject was mentioned In the World also, and both these papers, as well as the Herald and the Citizen, spoke of me repeatedly for the district attorneyship. During the last three or four days before the convention, and after Judge Gaynor declined to accept the nomlna IT IS OFTEN QUESTIONED How we can so constantly give those EXCEPTIONAL VALUES for which we are famous.

formers, more than any other organization, have made this a campaign of education and of literature. Every publication, too, was sent right into the heart of their political opponents. Every ward in the city was honeycombed with local headquarters, and here the enthusiasm was whooped up, voters were instructed, frequent meetings held and matters whooped up generally for Shepard and reform. Now that the campaign Is all over hut the voting Mr. Shepard himself Is silent about the probable result to morrow.

At headquarters to day he was smiling and confident but declined to commit himself to any statement or anything bordering on a prediction. He remarked that he had said his last word in the campaign at the Academy of Music on Saturday ulght. Mr. Peabody was not so reticent. He has already authorized a prediction that Mr.

Shepard will be elected by 2,000 over Wurster, with Grout last and to day he said to the Eagle reporter: "This Is the first time since Seth Low that the personal element has entered so largely Into a campaign and It Is going to be a very important factor. I am a Democrat and I believe in the sound judgment of the Democratic masses. They are not going to vote for a man who has tried to turn clown his own party." When the reform campaign began the fight was directed more against Willottghby street than with any hope of electing Shepard. Now, the opinion is quite generally held that Mr. Shepard has at least a fighting chance to win.

It is considered that if Mr. Shepard pollB 25,000 or 30,000 votes, or that if he can even hold the reform vote of a year ago. the domination of Wllloughby street in local politics will be over forever, because the Democratic party will have become very wearied of being constantly beaten. It is further considered that the placing of Coffey and McCarren on the Democratic ticket will materially diminish the regular Democratic vote, particularly after the vigorous and persistent use which the reformers made of their nominations during the campaign. Another point upon which the reformers bank is the recent revelation showing Jthat after all Boss McLaughlin appears to bejiack of Grout.

Wurster is not Schleren and the reformers are figuring on large Republican accessions. They have received assurances of support from many unexpected quarters, such, for example, as the following, which was given out for publication to day: i.5 Remtjen street. Brooklyn, October 30, 1S95. Mr. A.

Augustus Healy, Chairman: ii. nr sir As 1 now feel i am expecting to liave Hie peiasure of voting for Mr. Shepard. of my reasons are: That I consider him the best equipped of the anjidafs for the idace. and Brooklyn 1b entitle to the best that it can set.

Moreover, I think tht ida of our charter proceeds upon the theory of electing a mayor for his personal qualifications rather than on account of his party affiliations. Again, as civil Bervlce reformer I feel that Mr. Shepard ha. pre eminent claim upon me. Also, from the standpoint of non partisanship In municipal affairs It seems to mo that his candidacy, aside from any professions.

In which he Is not sui'trlor, stands out as practically the most independent of party and as helping free us fr Mii the grip of the old machine vice, which riys must vote for our party's man or the other parly's choice. Finahv. personally I know and esteem Mr. Shepard. Mr.

Grout I know but slightly. Mr. Wurster I think I have never seen. Yours truly, WILLIAM G. LOW.

William L. Gllmour says that a petty scheme has just come to light, whereby the regular Democrats hope to defeat the will of the people to morrow. It Is. in fact, a conspiracy to rob Republicans and reform Democrats of their votes, and the only way in which it can be defeated is for every anti ring voter to go to the polls provided with their own black pencils. The regulars, he says, have gotten hold of a pencil which will mark so nearly black that the difference cannot be discovered, except by the closest Inspection, but which has the property of turn GAYETY YORK.

Analysis of the Situation Before Tomorrow's Voting "What the Canvass Has Brought Out Grout Tells How He Was Nominated A Sharp Letter From Ex Mayor Boody Candidates and a 5 Cent Fare Latest Betting News The Fight Against Wieman. Republicans are jubilant now that the campaign Is over. Everyone is confident that Frederick Vs. Wurster will be the next mayor of the city. They are for the most part satisfied with his work, and believe he has said nothing and done nothing to in any way militate against his election.

What has been said by others that may be construed as damaging to his candidacy was said without authority, and Republicans feel that the people generally know and properly appreciate this fact. Wurster did not cut a brilliant figure in his campaign. He was not expected to, for lie has no pretenses as an orator, or eveu a letter writer. He is a business man. was nominated as such, and his party associates say he has comported himself as such.

His geniality and sociability were counted on by his friends In the city convention that nominated him to do more than speechmaking or letter writing. Wurster's campaign has been noteworthy for the industry he displayed. He has worked constantly day and night since his campaign opened. He has spoken at meetings, visited factories and been entertained at clubs. Everywhere he has made It apparent that he is an organization man.

The Worth people, who did not want him for a mayoralty candidate, and who tried to prevent his nomination, have never really been satisfied with him. Invidious contrasts have been continually made. One of them believed to day that, had the election been held two weeks ago Mr. Wurster would have been defeated. Bryant, they have argued, would have made a much better candidate.

Of Wurster one fact has become pronounced during the campaign. If his party men have not found In him one they could strongly enthuse over, they have found nothing they could strongly censure. For this reason he is expected to get all but a very small percentage of the Republican vote. The men in the party who admire brains and who believe In a municipal administration on a business basis, are expected to throw their strength to Edward M. Shepard.

Mr. Wurster's acquaintances have frequent "1 jy sum uurmg me nsnt mat ne was not luted for a long campaign. They have felt that he would lose interest if the necessity of stump speaking grew more protracted. Fortunately, their belief has been disappointed. At the end of the campaign he said what he had to say as earnestly and as "well as when he began.

For a candidate who has had a deal of drudgery to perform, his health is excellent. Regularity has to a great extent been observed In all his doirgs. wnat ne has to say 01 the situation maybe interesting. In his personal headquarters, in the Germania building, to day, he smiled upon his visitors and ejaculated: "I'm glad the campaign is over. I believe I am going to win.

I havi made the best fight I knew how to make: have lost no opportunities and have been greatly enoouraged by the receptions everywhere accorded to me." There were scores of visitors at Republican campaign headquarters, on Court and Joral emon streets, this morning, and each of them brought good news for the success of the Republican ticket to morrow. Senator Reynolds, who has injected a deal of life and some decided novelties into the campaign, was congratulated on all sides. Jacob Brenner, counsel to the board of police and excise, has been made chairman ot the committee to detect and prosecute offenders against the registration laws. To day he reported several cases on Wyckolf street, also in the Twenty first ward. To morrow he and the lawyers who are associated with him will be on hand at his office, in the Garfield building, to be of service at a moment's notice.

To morrow the campaign headquarters will be opened early and Senator Reynolds and his campaign committee will be on hand. Ample provision for the proper manning of the polls has been In the evening the returns from the different districts will be received at headquarters, at the Union league club, the Young Republican club and at the Logan club, on Sixth avenue. Regular Democrats Feel "Very Confident. The regular Democratic headquarters in the Thomas Jefferson was crowded this forenoon. The talk there among campaign committeemen and ward workers showed that if they had ever entertained any doubt of the election of Mr.

Grout it had been entirely dis pelled. There was no division of opinion today. His election was regarded as certain as anything in politics can be, and in their opln Ion the only question was one of plurality. Chairman John Shea made this statement: "The campaign committee as a final word In advance of the election desires to say that In its opinion Mr. Grout has mad one of the best canvasses that has ever been made by any nominee for the office of mayor within the past dozen years.

Every indication points to his election and to the election of the en tiro Democratic ticket. We believe that the state ticket will carry Kings county by a majority of not less than IS. 000 and that "the local ticket will have an average majority that will equal S.000. We believe further that Mr. Marean will receive a majority in this county exceeding 20,000 and that that will in sure his election as justice of the supreme court.

The statements that have been issued from the Republican and the so called inde pendent Democratic headquarters with refer ence to the manner of Mr. Grout's nomination will, can and should have no effect upon Mr Grout other than what is good. The authors of those statements know that they are un true and that if Mr. Grout is elected mayor he will be in the fullest sense of the word an independent Democrat." The campaign committee has received re ports snowing that its distribution of the Bpeech of A. W.

Gleasoii in favor of shooting two hundred people on the first day of the trolley strike, has had a marked effect. Copies of this speech have been circulated among the workingmen of the city by the thousands, ana was said af headquarters that the worried. Republican managers were much Reform Democrats Are Hopeful But Not Confident. The eve of the battle which is ro be fought out at the polls to morrow finds the leaders of the reform Democratic party more confident and more enthusiastic then at t'ny time Biuce the campaign begun. Some of them, such as Georgo Fester Peabo.ly and S.

Ferry fcturges, indeed, openly express the 'uiifi'k opinion mat Shenard will bo elected. Such a sanguine conclusion, though, is held chiefly by tiv mo.c enthusiastic members of the reform organization. The present, indications, according to more eon servative reformers, are thai Mr. Shr pard will cut so 'heavily into the regular Hc mlx ratio vote iliac, he will elect Wurster, while the probability is, it is thought, that Mr. Shepard himself will run far ahoj.

of the vctes which wore i ve to enry 1 1 oi: the re form ticket a year ago. OtJderaule publicity has been given on both sides to accessions and bolters connected with both organizations, but these, after all, are scarcely worth while taking into account. The reform organ iaztion has never before conducted such a well directed and vigorous campaign. A year ago they were practically experimenting. This year the thorough manner in which they have tackled the campaign shews that they have learn their lesion.

Mr. Shepard has tli himself ea z. himself 1 coul i i tlon, a number of persons, some of whom were delegates to the convention, asked me if would accept the mayoralty nomination. None of them so far as I know, came from Mr. McLaughlin personally, and none of them were leaders in the regular organization.

I refused at first because I had no desire for the office. 1 finally stated to all who talked to me three conditions, all made by myself, and no conditions were proposed to me, no pledges asked of me. The conditions were that I should not be expected to contribute any more money to the campaign fund than 1 felt I could afford; that no one should even ask me what I would do If elected, and that the rest of the ticket should be satisfactory to me. I then had reference to the city and county tickets, and until those tickets were nominated and the names on them were satisfactory, I was In no way committed to an acceptance of the mayoralty nomination. I did not.

In fact, accept the nomination, I did not even Anally determine to accept It until Tuesday, four days after the convention. One thing I know: Sly nomination was not purely a matter emanating from party leaders. The rank and file of the party had been demanding Judge Gaynor. and the convention would have nominated him, leaders or no leaders, had he been willing to accept. When he refused there was a desire for a man who, as It was thought, stood for the same things in Brooklyn politics.

And I know that the Idea that I was the one to be nominated originated among delegates earlier than It is accredited to party leaders, for delegates themselves sought my consent to the nomination. This Is the whole story so far as I know It. If I am not absolutely free to do my duty as mayor. If elected, I cannot conceive what freedom Is. I am the nominee, not only of the regular Democracy, but also of hi independent or citizens' party.

Neither expects that it can elect me by its own unaided efforts; both rely upon their union and their united efforts. If elected I shall, therefore, be no more under obligation to one organization than to the other, and higher than any obligation to either I shall regard my obligation to the whole city. Again I call attention to the fact that If being the nomineee of the regular Democracy Is held by Independent or Reform Democrats to be a disqualification why, then, was there ever any talk of a union ticket? Grout and Boody on Compensation for Railroad Franchises. The following correspondence explains itself: 205 Berkeley place. Brooklyn, November 2.

1S95. Edward M. Grout. Tear sit Sty attent.on has been called to your Academy of Music speech, In which you claim credit for the benefit which the city will derive from the Nassau street railway franchise. I have always said that that act would prove the most beneficial one In my administration, notwithstanding your efforts before the grand Jury to have me indicted for signing the measure.

Now that you see that the people are beginning to understand the matter, you desire the credit of the act. So far as this concerns me. it may not be as wicked as some ot your other acts, but It Is monumental In audacity. Mr. Grout, I have remained silent during all of jrour public abuse and slander.

My silence has seemed to invite you to fresh outrages. I now desire the assurance that to morrow's papers shall contain a rectification of this last assault upon my character. Yours, DAVID A. BOODY. 860 Carroll street, Brooklyn, November 3.

1S05. Dear Mr. Boody I regret exceedingly that you should feel impelled to write me as you do. I did not attempt, I do not now attempt, to claim all the credit for the benefit which the city derives from the Nassau railroad franchise. I did not eek to have you indicted by the grand jury of June.

1S93, for signing that ranch lje. I was subpenaed by that grand Jury, and went before It Iprnorant of what it proposed to inquire into. As a witness I stated simply the facts of the transaction, so far as i lenew them. That I have ever abwed or slandered you, in public or In private. Is not true.

That you sought to get compensation for the city for railroad grants cannot be doubted. You vetoed the Union street grant In 1892 for this reason, and I do not doubt that you were led to sign the Nassau grant in 1893 because some compensation was exacted. And my complaint as to this latter act was simply that you did not exact the largest, the best compensation possible. That complaint was sustained by the grand Jury by Judge Smith on the trial of the Adamson case this year, and It was not overthrown on the facts by the reversal of the general term, which was based solely on the proposition of law that the acts of the common council are not reviewable in the courts, no matter whether such acts are good or bad. Back of this and most instrumental in obtain ing the provision, by virtue of which the Nassau Railroad company now pays to the city at the rate ot per year, is the history of the Union street franchise.

In that mutter I first de manded that compensation be exacted, and made a substantial offer of $30,000 for the grant, William J. Gaynor then came Into the matter with me, and I doubt not that It was his etll clent aid rather than my poorer service which finally brought victory. You will recall the facts. Your veto proved ineffectual, since the aldermen were able to override It. You were right In your purpose, but another power than the power of the mayor was needed, and that power was found in the taxpayers' action brought by Mr.

Gaynor and myself in the name of John Adam son. "When Judge Cullen decided that case in the plaintiff's favor, when thus became evident that no xailroad srant could be effectually made for nothing in face of an offer, then the percent age system was adopted for the Nassau grant in June, 1893. You could not alone have effected the adoption of this system or of any system of compensation, for j'our veto power had alreadv been proved ineffectual, except as sustained by the courts. And when it came to the final act cn the Nassau franchise you, with the best of motives, were misled, and this Is the utmost that I have ever charged, publicly or privately; you were misled into the approval of the grant upon some compensation to the city, when, as matter of fact, it was clear that better terms could ha been exacted by open competition. From personal regard for you, from belief in your intentions, notwithstanding the effect of your oflieial action, I have refrained in this campaign from speaking at all of your administration.

Whu have I said to which you take Simply that the three years' contest for compensation fo: franchises In which I have been engaged "result in the payment by the Nassau Electric Railroad company at the rate of 56,000 a year." And can you. can anyone, doubt that the imposition upon this railroad company, disproportionate as the terms are to tho actual value of the franchise. Is the direct result of the fight in which I was engaged with William Gaynor over T'nlon strec and of the decision of the courts, obtained In that suit, that, grants could not legally be made to railroad companies for nothing in the face of substantial off ore? I would not detract from the credit due you for Insisting that some compensation for grants be exacted. But I must ask that credit be aim accorded me for first urging this proposition afu the repeal of the Cantor act ta repeal which I opposed), and that credit he also accorded me for thereafter standing upon the broader proposition that not only some, but th largest possible should be obtained by competition for the city and for Its taxpayers from railroad grunts. me recall you that the Democratic party of the city has this year adopted In ita platform the proposition that railroad franchises should be granted only for compensation upon compftition.

I trust that time and the pvni will vindicate both you and me. As you demand from mo a public statement In to morrow's papers, shall make it by publishing your letter and tills answer. Yours very truly. 12lWARl. M.

CTetman, 134 votes; E. F. Linton, 135 votes; Henry Wolfert, 4 votes. No one receiving the necessary number, for a choice at 21:55 Saturday night a motion to adjourn the convention until Wednesday, October 9, was put and carried. Wednesday, October 9, the delegates met In convention again and the roll call ordered with the following reault; Julius L.

Welman received 150 votes, 11 more than neces sary; Edward F. Linton received 67 votes; Charles F. Wehr received 44 votes: Henry Wolfert received 12 votes. Mr. Israel F.

Fischer then made a motion to make the nomination unanimous, which was seconded and carried. The convention then declared Mr. Julius L. Welman the nominee of the Nlntn senatorial district. This convention was an open and a fair representative one.

each delegate announced his choice as he felt inclined. The above is a true copy of the tally sheets and if Mr. Linton asserts that he was honestly nominated he knows he is lying and is trying to deceive the public, and. furthermore, he Is imputing the honesty of the secretaries and tally clerks. I feel it my duty to publicly denounce such a low.

mean act. A man who will, by dishonesty and falsehoods, try to" rob another of reputation and character Is one of the meanest men alive and Is not lit to represent our people in legislative halls. If he will lie and try to deceive the public before election he will surely do so after it. I am well known In the Eighteenth. Fifteenth and Twenty eighth wards and I can not honestly remain silent when my reputation is at stake and at the instigation of a self constituted candidate who is seeking the nomination and the office for his own selfish purpose and not for the good of the people.

November 4. 1SH5. A. A. LOW.

Secretary Tillotson on Weiman's Nomination. To the 1 JdHor of tht? Brooklyn ED(rle: Inclosed vuti wiil lind a circular received by me mails and. no doubt, vour In tlu iSlluoenth, Twenty sixth, Twenty seventh and Twenty elyhth wards have received a similar one. Ti.y circular states that the taily clerk had sworn to the fact that Mr. Linton received majority of 10 votes at the Republican senatorial convention of the Ninth senatorial district, held Saturday evening.

October in the Labor lyceum. I. us one of the secretaries and tally clerks of that convention, never made such a statement and never will, for such a statement is false and known to be false by the erson or persons making it. I have in my possession all the papers and record of the minutes of said convention and the following Is a copy of the tally sheet, as announced then and verified by all the secretaries. Furthermore, there were at least 150 of the delegates, scattered through the building, who kept tally with us.

On Saturday evening, October 5, drst roll call, Julius L. Welman re lntr decidedly blue In a few minutes. These pencils are to be left in the booths by regular voters appointed for that purpose, and the official aTtlcle Is to be purloined by them Regulars have been warned to use their own pencils, which will Insure the majority of their votes being counted, while of the reform Democratic and Republican ballots, being marked contrary to regulations, will be thrown out, Mr. Gllmour adds that the scheme originated in the Fifth senatorial district, where Michael J. Coffey is a candidate for re election, but it was thought such a good thing that it is to be put in practice in every election district in the city.

The Eagle reporter was informed to day at headquarters that Mr. Grout would re ceived very few Democratic votes on the slope from Union street to Third avenue. It was stated that the influence of "the'Mon tauk club was being directed against his candidature. Assistant Corporation Counsel Henry Yonge was busy at the old reform headquar ters. 1S3 Montague street, all day sending out the necessary material for the elections tomorrow.

He dispatched sixty two bags to the various districts containing sample ballots for each election district, several hun dred to each district, badges for each district, posters and pictures of the candidates, in structions for watchers and workers, as well aB neat little visiting cards which will be sent out late to monow afternoon to voters who have neglected tc cast their ballots. Two campaign flags will also be sent to each district, bearing the ship, the emblem of the or ganization, and this legend: "Democratic re form organization. For mayor, Edward M. Shepard. Vote according to your conscience and the interests of Brooklyn.

There will be a unique series of meetings to night in the Eighth senatorial district, where Silas W. Drlggs is the reform candi date for the senate. A big truck bearing a brass band will start from the district head quarters at 7:30 and play all through the streetB. Whenever a crowd Is attracted at a street corner by the music the truck will stop and the crowd will be harangued on the is sues of the campaign. Senator Daniel Bradley win be the principal speaker, and he expects to deliver eight addresses.

One of the members of the Manufacturers' association of Brooklyn formed two years ago expressed his indignation to an Eagle reporter at a campaign dodge which he attributes to the Republican managers. He said that a journal had been published, purporting to have the indorsement of the Manufacturers' association, with a picture of Wurster and containing also a eulogistic biography of him. The Eagle reporter's informant declared that 00 per cent, of the 350 members indignantly disclaimed all responsibility for the publication. They are a non political body, representing something like $150,000,000 of capital. Late Election Betting.

Sheriff Buttling to day bet $1,000 against $500 on the election of Frederick W. Wurster for mayor. The bet was made with a man named Russell in the Fourth ward, not the former elections commissioner, through Charles Hyman. The contract was signed, sealed and delivered with the money to Robert B. Sedgwick In the sheriff's office this morning.

James Kane, the Democratic leader in the Sixth ward, bet $490 against with Senator W. H. Reynolds, on Reynolds Is the Republican campaign manager and believes Wurster is a sure winner by at least 15.000. In the county clerk's office to day a clerk named Wurster offered odds at 4 to 1 on the Republican candidate, but could get no takers. Captain George W.

Brown has made a bet of four dinners with friends that Shepard's vote will not be between 15,000 and 25,000. A man on Montague street bet $1,000 to Slf'O that Shepard will carry the First. Fifth. Sixth and Twelfth wards. William C.

Jones, the Democratic leader in the Eighth ward, has $30 bet as follows: So that Sbfpard will get 5.000 votes, S5 that he will gp 1 10.000. $5 that he will cet 15.000. LLliiL. UU Wli V.UUV, Lllett Villi tTL 25.000 and that he will get 30,000. He is confident of winning them all.

A bet of $3ft0 to $400 has been made in the Eighth ward that Wurster will carry the ward 3.11 an even bet of that Hennessv will bo olected. deal of election betting on the Xew York stock exchange to day, hut this was not realised. In former years the day preceding election has been an active one ro far as wagers are concerned, hut the feeling of uncertainty that exists in th minds cf brokers as to the success of their favorite tickets, has caused a slump In comparison to oUier year's. What litrle wagering exists is mainly on rhe result of the polls In New York city. The Tammany ticket has been the favorite one since the cam pa ign opened and tempting odds have been offered on its success.

The pool, with thousands of dollars at its command which was organized several weeks ago to take up any muiiey that was in sight against Tammany, has had little success in registering bets. Two the biR bettors of other years, have shown lit tle inclination to cover their opinions. A few bets were taken to day on the New Jersey election. Ten to eight in favor of the Repub the various political headquarters resting on i party or parties to whom the contract may be their arms. From the state headquarters 1 awarded shall neglect or refuse to enter Into con many had gone to their homes to be Present at the fights in their respective districts, neglect or refusal.

Parties to whom the contract The only feature of the day that presaged i shall be awarded will be required to give bonds any particular interest was the special meet of flve alla 'or the fac case the ing of the committee of fifty, called for 1 o'clock at tie chamber of commerce. The rumor that the contribution of the committee of fifty had not been as great as that de manded by the Republican county committee, set many tongues in motion, and it was thought that contributions would be the chief topic of the fifty at their meeting thi3 afternoon. At the headquarters of the Good Government club and the City Vigilance league, the final arrangements were being perfected for the detail of watchers at the polls. In every place politicians were busy with pencils and assured victories were worked out by all sides with remarkable ease and positiveness. BlilRERT INDICTMENT STANDS.
