True, the lead of Judge Barnes over Judge Sullivan at the tiead of the ticket may fall short of 10, 000, but the mafgin of the republican cenndidates for university regents over their fusion opponents is sure to exceed double that figure. Fhe conditions that confronted Judge Barnes were out of the ordinary and the tace he has run is not only credit- able to his voté-getting abilities, but also to the party. Opposing him was a man asking re-election to a second term, demanding the united strength of the two rings of the fusion forves and ap- pealing for republican support on the plea for a nonpartisan judiciary. The campalign waged agaipst Judge Barnes was discreditable to the fusion leaders. A desperate effort was made to stigmatize Judge Barnes as a corpo- ration tool, to disparage his legal abili- ties, to involve him in a controversy ticket and for the reason that it did not represent any democratic principle. The whole issue was that of honest and clean city government and no democrat forfelted his party loyalty who refused to support Tammany in the contest. As 1o the effect upon next year's national campaign, we do not belleve it will be important. It does not necessarily mean that the state of New York will be democratic in 1004, for the state has frequently gone' republican when Tam- many was in control of New York City. In view of the result elsewhere repub- licans have not the slightest reason for apprehension because of the Tammany victory.: That corrupt organization ex- erts little influence beyond the munici- pality in which it carries on its demoral- izing political work. THE RESULT I8 OHIO. The overwhelming republican victory in Ohio is a signal triumph for Senator Hanna, again attesting his great ability as a political leader and campaign man- ager. More than this, it is in the deci- sive repudiation of Johnsonism a lesson to the entire country which should prove of the greatest value.

The campaign was marked by extraor- dinary activity on both sides. On the part of the democrats it was of the spec- tacular character peculiar to Johnson and was directed mainly against Mr. Hanna. The republicans fought in their usial way and were splendidly organ- ized. The attack on the single tax theory of Johnson undoubtedly bhad a great influence upon the people, particu- larly the farmers. Benator Hanna's part in the campaign was masterful. He entered into the work against the advice of his physician and continued in it to the - end, meaking many powerful speeches and completely demolishing the criticlems’ of his opponents. How ef- fective his efforts were the n"-ult abundantly attests.

The advices within a few days of the election pointed to the probable de- feat of the fusion ticket, some of the moest eagnest newspaper supporters of that ticket conceding that it would be beaten.
