Henry George party strength seen in New York election
The Standard predicts Henry George may tally about 90 000 votes in New York City mirroring Hewitt’s mayoral win. Past NYC tallies show Hewitt 90 552, Grove 68 110, Roosevelt 60 485, Wardwell 582. 1885 city results list Hill 128 603, Davenport 73 064, Bascom 1 215. George’s allies include Republicans, but no GOP votes are expected for him this year. Democrats back their secretary of state candidate, so George gains no Democratic support and Socialists are excluded.
