SHEL'HAN'S CONFIDENCE. John C. Shechan, leader ot Tammany Hall, today Issued the following state ment: Tho great municipal political contest Is about to closo. It will be memorablo In tho history of American politics. It w.ll result In u great Democratic vic tory. As In tho days of Thomas Jeffer son, tho Democratic party In this con est hns been arrayed against tho party who bcllevo that the masses of the peoplo huvo no olco In the selection of their olllclals. It has to fight ngalnst tho gieed of the party of monopolists, with tho federal administration at Its head. The greater part of three years the city of New York has been governed by tho party which hns had for Its motto "I am holler than thou,' and which hns given us the most wasteful, extravagant and coirupt administration that the city of New York has ever experienced Unquestionably the results tomorrow nlghl will verify tho claims made during the canvass and will result In a crush Ing defeat for the enemies of the common people and In the triumphant election of Robert A Van Wyck and the rest of the Democratic ticket." The executive committee of the Jef fersonlan Democracy today met and Is sued the following address: Tho spontaneous and pathetic tribute of the people of Greater New York paid on Sunday night to the dead tribune of the neonlo. has demonstrated beyond the shadow of a doubt that Henry George.thi) father, would had God spared him to us, have been elected to the mnyoralty of our great city. More than this. It fore shadows, with qual certitude the com plete victory of Henry George, the son, who now leads tho hosts his father m ir fdialled We call the attention of tho Democrat ic votcis who bate and scorn the lgnoblo and con apt nun who have used the Dem ociacy of their party to make It servo seltlsh and vennl ends, that the lifelong Democrat and valiant foe of bossHm, Charles W. Dayton, still leads In tho battle of the Democracy of Thomus Jcf feison against the Democracy of Rich ard Crokc r. Tlie worklngmen, with heav hearts and bow eel heads, saw the bodv of their bravest champion borne to Its lesting place Wo declare that his vvoik Is not ended Ills principles survive and In con tributing to tho triumph of all he con tended for they serve themselves as fully now as they could have could the eldi r Georgo have lived And we point to Jerome O'Neill ns a man noblv quali lled to repieent the woikingmnn ot tho city, and We urge that the political stiength of the laboring masses will bo measured by h's vote This Is still, as It has been, the struggle of the people against bosses chosen and supporteel bv the chosen classes It Is still, as It has been, a battle foi real DemociHoy within the Demociatlc party. Tho death of the great leadir no moio closes the contest for equal rights ami thu attack upon special pilvllcges than did Warren's fall at Hunker Hill end tho domination of om land by a Htltlsh king.

HOPE FOR EARLY DECISION Who Will Be the State's Architect? Two Cases of Apponl--Ono from Cone nnd the Other from tho Lan caster County Courts by James II. Wnrncr. Pittsburg, Not. 1. Arguments wera hcaid today by the Supreme court In the state capltol commission case aris ing over the selection of an architect. Governor D II. Hastings Is chairman of the commission. There are two cases, one appealed by Cope and others from the Dauphin county courts, and the other hi ought from the Lancaster county courts by James II. Warner. The question In dispute was whether the commission had discretionary power In the selection of an architect. An early decision Is expected. Francis J. Gowen and John G. Johnson argued for the appellants, and Robert Snod grass and Lyman D. Gilbert for tho appellees. The aiEument of the appellant") In brief aveis that the only provision ot the net bearing upon the selection of an architect Is the mandate "shall with tho least possible delay advise them and employ architect or architects." The commission then Invited eight ar chitects "to cairy out their Instructions w Ith the largest degree of credit to tho state." It is contended by the appellants that the commission did not patt with the discretion and Judgment which they were bound to exeiclse In thu selection and employment of an archi tect because they had disabled them selves from considering any architect outside of the eight who had been re quested to compete. "A true statement of the matter would seem to be," continues the argu ment, "that set long as the commission retained the ultimate rights or power of selecting and employing nn archi tect It might take any steps It thought pioper which woulel, In Its Judgment, result in securing the submission to It of the names of those who had been found, by some system Inaugurated by the commission, most competent to deal with the problem which had to bo dealt w ith." The commission was not Justified In annulling tho method of selection em bodied In the piogramme because oC the character of the eight designs re ported by the boaiel ot expel ts. Tho fact that the defendants aie state oill cers does neit oust the Jutladlctlon of the couit. APPELLEES ARGUMENTS. The appellees In their argument nver that tne aigumcntb oC tho appellants icsts upon the theoiy that tlie pro gi amine, so called, was Instituted for the solo put pose of selecting nn nich Itect foi tho new capltol building. It Ignoies the fuither duty to adopt plina for the cnnstiiictlon of the building. Tlie contention substantially is th.it when the coinmissloneis formulated tho piogramme they exhausted their ellscielionaiy power in lespect to tins selection of nn nrchiteet and weio bound to make that selection under Its teims and In no other way. If this position Is ur.'-ound the whole supei Mruotun of tho argument must fall to tho girund. The' i-ommlhsloners rejected the re poit of tho experts not because of a question of aichitectural ability eif tho authors, but because the designs them selves, In their judgement, elid not meet the requirements of the statute Inl respect to foini, size and cost. Tho appellees allege that tho relief sought Is substantially a mandatory injunction to selee't ore of tho eight pe-sons leconiine-nded by the expeitu nnd It Is the elepilvatlon of the op portunity of secuilng ono of the prizes; which furnishes the gtound of com plaint In lespect to this, It Is claimed a oemit of equity cannot furnish lelief. An aigunient that the bill Is against the state, of which the court cannot tnke Jutlsdlctlon, Is also advanced. On the conclusion of tho aiguments, which weie listened to with clos attention, the com t took charge of the papers.
