McClellan as against Mayor Low, placing his opposition to Mayor Low's re-election upon the ground that Croker having ceased to be the leader of the Demo- cratic party in the City of N. Y. and "Deveryism" having been eliminated from the Democratic party and from munici- pal politics, he, as a Democrat, in a year preceding a Presidential election, was under obligations, as a party man, to support the Democratic candidates.
