In the elections of yesterday the repub- Tican party met with defeat. The result is not to be measured by the returns from Towa, Massachusetts and Pennsylvania, for those ure republican states at all times but in circumstances the most exceptional. The real contests were in New York, Ohio, Maryland and Kentucky, where national issues were sharply drawn, and where the republicans had the prestige of the two substantial victories of 1895 and 1896 to aid them. Yet they lost. In New York and Kentucky their defeat is pronounced, while in Maryland and Ohio the knifing of the re- publican tickets im republican strongholds tells of republican divisions carried to the point of a total disregard of consequences to the party at large. There were issues and issues, and, in the Night of these, the returns are eccentric to a degree. In New York there was the boss issue. The campaign opened with a de- mand for local government free from all bossism. The result is the re-enthronement of the most despotic boss in the history of the country. Mr. Platt is smashed, and Mr. Croker returns to power, and to more power than he ever wielded before. What he will do with that power is plainly in- dicated by his past record. In Ohio the issue of bossism was couplel with the issue of sound money. Indorse- ment of the administration was likewise an issue. Such a campaign seemed to call tor a conspicuous show of the sound money strength developed in the cities of the state last year. But in all the cities the legislative tickets, which represented the rational issue. were knifed without mercy. The effect of every vote cast against Mr. Hanna a boss was so much to the good for Mr. McLean, whose domination of his party in the state is complete. The vote for Gov. Bushnell can carry no comfort to the administration, for it is in effegt not an indorsement of the administration. In Kentucky the issue was strictly na- tional. The Bryanites boldly challenged the republicans to another contest on the silver question, and they have won. The republicans, indirectly, had assistance both from the gold democrats and from the pop- ulists, but even with that were outvoted. ‘They have nobody to blame but themselves. Two years of bitter and relentless faction fighting could but produce disaster. They Rave fallen into a ditch which they them- selves dug. In Maryland the credit of the splendid fight made in Baltimore for sound money is largely due to the gold democrats. They stood out against Mr. Gorman, and the day in the city was won. Both in and out of Baltimore the republicans indulged in local divisions with the usual result of cut tickets and a large stay-at-home vote. Can these republican divisions be healed in time for effect on the Congress elections next year? If not, what bearing are they likely to have on the compiexion of the aext House of Representatives? And if the next House of Representatives is demo- «cratic, what effect will that have on the presidential election in 1000? This is look- ing ahead a little, but inasmuch as “the continuous performance” is now a feature of our politics, it may be well to inquire into the matter. Another day like yester- day is certainly not to be desired by the friends of sound money. ———~+es—____. Judge Miller. ‘The death of Judge Thomas F. Miller is cuuse for genuine regret among the cit- izens of the District. He had practically spent his life here, having been admitted to the bar of the District while a young man. His service of nine years on the Police bench brought him preminently be- fere the community in a most trying ca- pacity, and his reappointment at the practically unanimous request of the busi- ness interests of the city demonstrated both his popularity and his success in ad- ministering the law. His judgments. from the bench were unusually cquitable and well calculated to advance the cause of law and order in the District. Mercy for the unfortunate often tempered the punish- ments meted out by him, but he kept his sympathies well in check when the inter- ests of the community were at stake and when severity was demafided. Personally a Tan of genial manners and social tempera- ment, he was at the same time a well-read jawyer, and his judgments were based upon @ thorough acquaintance with the statutes and judicial procedure. It will be difficult for the President to fill his place, even with the number of good names now before him, with « man who will give such general sat- isfaction as did Judge Miller. —++2____ Recollection of Platt’s ante-election wish that he might be as confident of his own salvation as he was of Tracy’s election sug- gests the hopelessness of Platt’s spiritual condition this morning. ———_++e—___ True to its significance, the Bacchante continves to imspire a large quantity of loud and boisterous debate. ——_+ += —___ Greater New York's Object Lesson. Tammany wins in Greater New York. This result, so full of meaning to the busi- ness interests of the enlarged metropolis, is to be attributed to a combination of mis- Management, obstinacy, perversity and folly on the part of the elements that are normally opposed to the rule of the Tiger. The accident of the death of Henry George on the eve of election contributed doubt- less in a large measure to the success of the Tammany ticket, but even with Henry George alive the outcome of the canvass would probably have been the same, in view of the rivalry between the factions Whose real interests called them to unite in @ harmonious assault against the party of municipal corruption and blackmail. In their fairly complete state today, the returns from the city show that a combina- tion of the votes of Tracy and Low would have given a union candidate at least twenty thousand plurality over Van Wyck. Beth Low's vote was much larger than that cast for Tracy. It is questionable, of ceurse, how much of the vote that would have been cast for the single-taxer, had he lived, went to Low, and how much drifted back to Tammany, whence it originally came. It is not probable that much, if any, of it went to Tracy, and the most Ikely assumption fs that by far the majority of it was cast for Van Wyck, with Low recety- ing a large part of the remainder, while thousands of the other supporters of the elder George either stayed at home or lost their ballots through inadvertant misuse of the pasters. ‘Thus it is fair to assume that had George lived and had there been no secret deals be- tween Tammany and the machine republi- cans, the combined votes of Low and Tracy would have outnumbered that cast for Van Wyck by many more than 20,000. It is clear in any event that Tammany could easily have been beaten had the natural enemies of that organization allied them- selves with a truly “unifying force” at Se ee BCE OEE NS Doro aac Ee their head. But they refused, declined or neglected to do so, and their action may be variously construed. To those far apart from the heat of the battle and the preju- dices that animated these factional ele- ments even to the point of bitter hatred, it appears that the blame for the result is to be laid at the doors of both sides. In the beginning a petition was circulated and signed by many thousands of names, pray- ing Seth Low to stand as the candidate of the citizens for the mayoralty. This petition might readily have been shrewdly used to compel the republicans to nominate Low and thus to make him the “unifying force’ that he believed himself to be. But his campaigners blundered at this critical juncture. The situation re- quired delicate treatment. In its stead the most injudicious methods were employed. Low was named prematurely, the repub- lican machine, so essential to success, was defied and the Citizens’ Union started on a campaign that without help from veteran organizers and party votes meant only de- feat. At the same time the machine leaders, the partisans, acted stubbornly, refusing to make overtures, to accept syggestions, and to seek harmony with their natural ally. Platt preferred Tammany’s success to the victory of a non-partisan mayor whom he could not control. Pride, obstinacy and a false sense of security in the light of the growing revolt from Tammany con- tributed to widen the breach between the citizens’ movement and the republican ma- chine. The fight degenerated into a family Tow, with men who should have been united by their business interests, moral Preferences and political tendencies, strug- gling to cast the most vituperative epi- thets and to expose their factional op- ponents to public scorn and ridicule. Thus blame attaches to both sides of this squabble, but bears most heavily upon Platt, who after the first stage of the con- troversy bears full responsibility as the di- rect and deliberate ally of Tammany. Tam- many has returned to power for a long term with more ability to corrupt the local administration than ever before, with a great fortune in public funds at its hand and without an obstacle to a revival of the disreputable methods of administration that were uncovered by the recent reform move- ment now so disastrously terminated. Four years must elapse under the new charter of the municipality before the citizens will have a chance to oust Tammany from this comfortable berth. It is to be hoped that the lesson so plainly taught by the cam- paign just closed will have been learned by the an‘i-Tammany voters !n the mean- time and t..at the election of Croker's mar- ionette will have made a repetition of this year's folly impossible. ——____ + «—____ Admirable Paper. Hannis Taylor, our ex-minister to Spain, has contributed to the current number of the Nerth American Review a most in- structive paper on the subject of Cuba. It is full of information obtained under the exceptiona: advantages of his four years’ residence at Madrid, and is replete with reasoning of irresistible strength and cogency. It deserves to rank, indeed, among the most important contributions to the subject; and that it will receive well merited attention when Congress meets and the Cuban question comes up for debate in that body is certain. These views of Mr. Taylor will have all the greater force by reason of the fact that they come in the nature of a surprise. He could not speak to the general public while he was in office, and, therefore, it was as- sumed, when his position was considered at all, that he was, as the minister appoint- ed by Mr. Cleveland, in sympathy with Spain in the matter. The very opposite proves to be the casé. No man has spoken for Cuba with more earnestness or intelli- gence than he now does, or has shown more clearly and convincingly Spain's utter incapacity and indisposition to deal justly by her colony. Upon Mr. Tuylor’s paper alone, indeed, could safely be based not only the right but the duty of the United States to take such action as to secure for. Cuba the peace which the island so richly deserves. Mr. Taylor holds: (1) That Spain does not enjoy real parliamentary government her- self, and therefore would be unable, if she sincerely desired, to grant such government to Cuba. (2) That, despite the talk about autonomy for Cuba, Spain has only the Spanish idea of a colony—‘“a place to be plundered and enslaved.” (3) That the time has come—came, indeed, somctime ago—for the United States, in the interests of hu- manity, in the interests of commerce, by the application of a liberal reading of the Monroe doctrine, to interfere and stop the war. (4) That Congress by joint resolution approved by the President should state the case plainly to Spain, and intimate the pur- pose of the United States “to take such other or further action in the premises is may be made netessary by future events.” Mr. Taylor gives his readers estimates of the leading figures in the drama, Canovas, Sagasta, Campos and others, and confirms without hesitation the stories of the detes- tation in which General Weyler is held in certain circles in Spain, and why. When one considers that Mr. Taylor was at Madrid and General Lee at Havana, the attitude of Mr. Cleveland and Mr. Olney, which was pro-Spanish to the point of al- most slavish subserviency, becomes more than ever a profound mystery. ——_~++e—___ If Mr. Van Wyck has been waiting ail these years to show what a great man he is, he now has an opportunity to do some- thing dazzling. —~+e—____ As soon as he can be spared from his work at home, the Queen of England might have Mr. Austin write an ode to the Cleve- land baby. ——___++--_____ Mr. George Fred Williams did not even Manage to struggle into the doubtful column. —~>+e—___ Mr. Croker can now go back to Europe with an easy mind. —__~+++___. ‘The Next Senate. However the case may stand with Sena- tcrs Hznna and Gcrman—whose fates now seem to be solvable only by the official counts in their states—it is not likely that the present situation in the Senate, with independents holding the balance of power, will be materially changed as far as those two seats are concerned. That body now consists of eighty-nine members, there be- ing oae vacancy in Oregon owing to the failure of the legislature to elect a suc- cessor to Mr. Mitchell. The governor has appointed a republican, but he has not been seated nor is it thcught likely that he will be. Of these eighty-nine senators 43 are now straight republicans, 34 are democrats ard 12 are independents. The independents thus classified are Allen, But- ler, Harris, Heitfield, Kyle, Stewart, Jones and Turner, populists, and Cannon, Mantle, Pettigrew and Teller, silver republicans. Of these four Mantle is nearer the repub- lican organization than any other, and on scme party questions he has voted with the plurality, althcugh he is a pronounced free silver man. Should both Hanna and Gorman be de- featead the situation will remain exactly unchanged, the parties merely swapping seats. If, however, Hanna should lose and Gorman win the republican party strength would fall to 42 and the democratic rise to 35. If Hanna should win and Gorman loee the republicans would have 44 votes ard.the democrats 33.. But 44 votes are not sufficient to give the republicans even a tie vote on the incomplete Senate as it now stands, and to secure a control of the organization some other accession would be necessary. As regards the immediate the Fifty-sixth Congress that may materi- ally aid the republicans. New Jersey yes- terday chose a legislature with a republi- can majority of 21 on joint ballot. Part of these republicans will held over to partici- Pate In the election of a successor to Sen- ator Smith a year hence. Mr. Hanne’s suc- cessor will be elected at once after the meeting of the legislature chosen yester- day and he will assume his seat in the Sen- ate this winter. Mr. Gorman’s successor, however, will not enter the Senate until March, 1890, together with the senators succeeding Messrs, Smith, Murphy, Faulk- ner, Mitchell, Roach, Turpie and White, democrats on whose seats the republicans have cast envious eyes. —\*_re+o—___ The Gleasonian Era Ended. Patrick Gleason, of Long Island City, en- tered the Greater New York campaign on a simple platform. ‘Neither Tea nor Tiger” was his watchword, his battle cry. It rep- resented his declaration of principles as clearly as any polite words could possibly embody the Gleasonian ideals. Tea stands for reform in the mind of the Glea- sonites. Mayor Strong is a tea drinker. Hence the application. The Tiger, in the eye of the Gleasonian democracy, stands for a bigger machine than that of the Hon- orable Patrick. “Neither Tea nor Tiger,” therefore, was an outcry against both re- putable government and too much bossism. The voters, however, cared not for this combination. A bare thousand of: the half million citizens who yesterday indicated thelr preferences in the big city cross- marked the battle-axe emblem of the Gleas- cnite ticket. The elements of“farce-comedy are all present in this unique campaign and its results. Gleason is essentially a politi- cal comedian, whether he is engaged in chopping down the property of offending corporations or addressing a crowd of spell- bound hoodlums from the tail of a truck. It was a pretty serious fight that was waged in the metropolis yesterday but it had its jocular side and the Gleasonian canvass is spread all over that side. New York has declared that it wants both tea and tiger, if its answer to Gleason’s invita- tion to support him is to be taken as a guide. —~22___ Neither Russia nor England will object to the King of Corea’s calling himself “Em- peror,” any more than this government will object to any gentleman’s calling him- self “judge” or “major” if he so desires.

SHOOTING STARS. “It’s so seldom,” said Uncle Eben, “dat a man jes’ puhceeds along tryin’ ter do ’is hones’ duty, dat when he does, folks goes ter guessin’ an’ spicionin’ dat he’s playin’ a mighty sly game.” A Type. He studied little, he confessed. And on election day His hopes and reasoning were expressed In the single word, “Hooray!” The Old Way. “There's no doubt of this man’s being an experienced and conservative journalist,” remarked the city editor. “How do you know?” “In writing of a fire he says, ‘The holo- caust, when the rafters fell with dull, sick- ening thuds, beggared description.’ A Dangerous Blunder. “No man can know everything,” said the high-minded youth. “Between you and me,” replied Senator Sorghum, “that’s a fact. But there’s no excuse for a man’s making the mistake of owning up to it.” A Case in Point. “Sometimes a matter of little or no real consequence will cause an immense amount of trouble,” said the moralist. “Deed, dat’s de troof,” remarked Erastus Pinkley, who overheard him. “Ef dese folks "ud be saterfy ter gib up de money wifout makin’ us write policy slips, wé wouldn’t hab near de trouble wif de po- lice.”” Repetition. Bring forth the wreath of laurel For him who found his doom. With fate let no man quarrel, Life's story must be told. Bring forth the sackcloth also For him who found his doom, Since fortune must befall so, Bear gracefully your gloom. ’Tis the old story over, ‘Though other actors troop. Some men get into “clover, And some are “in the soup.’ —____-o +e ____. The Marine Band’s Outside Work. From the Philadelphia Telegraph. There are generally two sides to a ques- tion, and there may be two sides to the great Fanciulli eontention, which is shak- ing the marine corps from center to cir- cumference. But whatever may he the merits. or demerits of the deposed conduc- tor, there can be no question as to the ulti- mate effects of the policy of the Navy De- partment in connection with the Marine Band. That splendid organization is doomed if the new policy is to be continued, and it is to be prevented hereafter from taking outside engagements. The skilled musi- clans who now compose it will drop out, one by one, as their terms of enlistment expire, as it is quite impossible for them to live decently on the meager pay received from the government. —__~ ee __. Hawali Well Governed. From the San Francisco Chronicle. The high tribute paid by Theophilus Davies to the Dole government is testimony that means something.

But as a fair-minded man he recognized the fact that the islands were being well and justly governed, and he has the manliness to say so. His word on that point will go far to counteract the slanders of the sugar trust. SS Newspaper English. From the Boston Journal. Prof. George H. Palmer of Harvard is not inclined to take a disparaging view of the correctness with which modern newspapers employ our tongue, for he be- Heves that “at no period of the English Jani has there been so high an aver- es senate vivacious img informing sentences written as appears in our daily press.” No one realizes the shortcom- ngs of newspaper writers more than the men who make the newspapers, and less friendly critic of “n Engi = often knows little about the difficulties of steering between pedantry and vulgarity. —_or+e—___—_.
