LoMio.v. Nov. 1. I n. m. [ New York
Herald Cable-Special to the Itai : . ] All
Saints Day opens In London with cie-at press
attention to thn Now York iiiajoialty elec
tion. Natuially In view of the recent social
ist demonstiatlun bete , and of the pnpnlnilty
of the enforceel abindonmuntof the socialist
elcmonstratlon on the lord mayor's day , the
press opinion Is strongly against ( leorgp.
For instance , the Post concludes a leader :
Much more Important for thu development of
modern Institutions than all the eloquu'ncu
tend sentiment wo have had about the
Itiitholdt monument Is the election of
the mayor of Now tfork to morrow.
In this contest wo have about
a charter of a million people to choose bu-
tween socialism ami a settled order of gov-
ermcnl. New York must forgive London If
it thinks the election of its major to-monow
Is mote important for the public and thu
world than the cciemony of lastThursdiy.
The socialists , and rather tardily , U must bo
confessed , have announced a imss me-etlng
for ttih evening at St. Andrew's hall to ex
press confidence lu Henry ( U-orgo and to
aelopt means to fttiliter his election as major ,
onu handbill adopting a phrase much useel
In England as te-gaids It , "Nowby St. ( leoipe
the woik goe-s bravely on. " The handbill
omits to say If the woik is the devastation
which the socialists brought to the shops ,
clubs und bouses last summer In Majfulr.

this , more than the willingness to lose the
