A (JKEAT DANGER IMMINENT Olferi of SihMiatiil Aid Mde to Ceorge'i Ctnuii'j hj Reipoisikle lei. New York. October 4. The Journal and Advertiser today prints an Interview with Henry George In which he says: I have been Informed ibat there Is a panic In Tammany camp. The leaders are alarmed at the sudden uprising of the machine. According to all account! this Is good cause for fear. But It Is not confined to the managers of any one party. Of course I am not speaking of my own knowledsre. I only give what comes to me from trustworthy sources. According to confidential Information re ceived this afternoon a hurried co l was sent out today by Tammany managers summoning the district lenders to Im mediate council. A great danger was said to be Imminent. It was reported that offers of substantial aid for our movement had been made by responsible men, who said they stood ready to help the cause In ail directions. I am willing to express myself clearly on all the questions ut Issue. My plan of campaign la to tell the truth. I have nothing to conceal. The foot that I am candidate (or mayor will not cause me to change any of my views. My opinions are founded on principles that are not to be changed because of the campaign. "I am a free trader. It may prevent some persons from supporting" me: If so, I can't he-'p It. I am not adjusting my views to the exhtenck-s of a political canvass. What I believe to be for the best Interests of the country and the people. I shall advocate. "I recognize no difference between i Boston, October 4. The Boston Ball between a national and municipal cam-1 club received the pennant aa the National p.iign. so far as honest politics are con-'League champions at the Tremont the cerncd. In both casts we want honest Lire tonight. Mayor Qulncy made the pre men who believe In an honest admin istration of the laws. This Is why I say the men are right who went before the grand Jury tasking for an Indictment of the tax commWoners, and if they keep tn flghiiig they will surely win. The Central Labor Tnlon has assumed an Impregnable posKkm. It demands that the laws shall be enforced without re speot to the wealth and position of the tmllvHimila agtilnst whom the charges have been made. And Hght here the principles of single tax come Into play. Tho Insurance eases nre particularly per tinent Just now. The Central Labor L'n- on claims, that the Euqitable Life Insu rance Oompuny vnlued Its property at Jl2.0e0.0u0 In Its return made to the state insurance !oard at Allwny. But when the local Xew York aswsor came around It put In Its valuable proierty at t,. ix. With single tax in force these rob beries and corruption of men in office would be avoided. But why should I go on to Illustrate? These questions haw been discussed and spread broadcast In our literature. It has been shown that most of the present evils are the results of political con spiracy and crime. In regard to the silver question I luw nothing to con ceal. I say now that I said repeatedly during the Bryan campaign: It Is thai while I was eupoprttng that gentleman nnd would vote his ticket, I was not a believer In the theory that sliver was a remedy for the evils than beset the country. I shall discuss the silver question ex actly as I discussed It during the pres idential cornpadn. We have nothing to present but Ahe- truth. We have nc H-cret policies, no political tru4s f'4 our enemies; nothing but the cold naked truth. I nm well . satisfied with the be ginning we have made. The young men cn our committees tire able and en thusiastic. The Cooper Institute meet ing will Ixj , success, Judging; from the reports co ml re from our friends, coming to us from the ranks of the different committees. In my speech at Cooper In stitute on Thursday evening 1 shall speak freely, avWdlng no questions which pol iticians are handling so gingerly. I am a free trader and on that lino I shall fight It out. I believe that single tax will hrlnsT Drosierlty and equalise the burdens tha now oppress humanity, bearing heavily upon the poor and lhthtly on the favored rloh." MONTANA'S ENORSEMENT. Helena, 4lont.. October 4. Yesterday Governor Smith received a message from John C. Sheehan, TUmmany's chief, about the present mayorallty fight In New York, and the support of Van Wyck.

Neither team showed the championship form, while the work of the home team was at times very much below the mark. Tho OriNcs batted Nichols ou box and would have given Lewes a sim ilar dose if they could have seen the ball in the last two Innings.

Senator Shoup, of Idaho, said today that while he was not at all certain of Wol cott's success, he was hopeful, and recent correspondence Indicated that WoleMt himself was greatly encouraged. One thing he felt perfectly confident of was that the administration was sincerely supporting Mr. Woloott In his efforts and would endorse his action.
