THE GREET VICTORY.

One notable characteristic of the great vic
tory which has just been achieved by the
friends of honest administration of public
affairs is Its increasing brilliancy. True to its
traditional policy, THE TRIBUNE was not in
haste to claim large success before the figures
abundantly demonstrated it, and hence we
have the pleasure this morning to assure our
readers that even when we yesterday babe
them rejoice over general Republican triumphs
the half had not been told them. The
result in this and every other State shows
most clearly that this is not good year for
self-seekers, dishonest men, and politicians
to whose personal reputation any suspicion or
faint adheres 1t Is great and inspiring
triumph; but it is a triumph of People rather
than Party. We have no desire to claim
for any political organization in this city
the fruits of victory which has
been the result of the uprising of a
great people. The Republican party must
incidentally gain greatly ell over the country
on account of the brilliant success achieved
here, where Democratic corruption and mis-
rule have done 80 much to injure that
party, but where Democrats and Re-
publicans have combined to crush the
wickedest conspiracy ever concocted against
municipal integrity and life We have elected
Franz Sigel for Register, by q majority of
$4,000. All of the Anti Tammany Judges are
elected and Tammany elects but one of the
five Senators chosen in this city, Vim. NJ
Tweed standing thus alone in his glory Of
the twenty-one AsSemblymen elected by New
York, Tammany elects but seven, and Of these
-Frear-may be found, when all the returns
are in, short of majority. Every one of the
anti Tammany Aldermen is elected, and of the
twenty one Assistant Aldermen elected ma
jority are pledged to Reform. This part of
the great triumph, the best Republicans and
the best Democrats have combined to secure;
the Republican ticket chosen being that of
the Regular Union Republican Committee.
In the State the Republicans have elected
their entire ticket by handsome majority.
We have yet no complete statement as to ma
jorities, but that of G.. Hilton SCribner, for
Secretary of State. now foots up 16,Ie4, and
will not be reduced. In the Assembly we have
Oh Republicans to "a Democrats, and in the
Senate "a Republicans to Democrats. These
figures are inspiring; they are the indices Of
a great political revolution.
Messrs. Phillips and Butler seem to have
led their Prohibition and Labor Reform fac
tons in Massachusetts, far towards che natural

served Last year these factions were able to

Mr.. Peter B. Sweeny has set his colleagues
in the chief control of our City government
an example which they will not be able to
misunderstood, and which they can hardly fail to
profit by. He evidently believes that they who
have hitherto governed our City are no longer
wanted in that capacity, and may wisely
give place to men of the Peoples immediate
choice. He judges that the popular judgment
ought to be deferred to; and, on this point
public opinion is in full accord with him.
1t has been for some time understood in
well-informed circles that Mr.. Sweeny was i'll
at ease in his position, and anxious to change
it. Fidelity to his party impelled him to
withhold his resignation until the election !;
but he must have counted impatiently the
days through which he must continue TO be
associated in the general apprehension with
Messrs. Tweed and Connolly.
AS Mr.. Sweeny avows his infexible purpose
to avoid public life henceforth, we trust the
Attorney General and the Corporation Counsel
will each make haste to initiate legal proceed
ings against him if they have good reasons
for 80 doing. If they have none, it is due to
justice that the fact should be publicly stated,
and his name relieved from imputatiOns which
are cruel, if unfounded. AS yet, we have seen
no intimation from Mr. O'Conor that proceed
ings against Mr.. s. are even contemplated.

TWEED IT ALRANY.

Marius meditating above tho ruins of Car
thage-himself and his fortunes more ruinous
than they-is theme which has often fired
the souls Of poets, painters, orators; but
Tweed in our next Senate win point even
sterner moral. 1t seems but yesterday that he
was monarch Of all he surveyed: the Legisla-
ture his facile instrument; the Executive
creation Of his potent spell; the very Judiciary
recording his edicts as though they were de-
crees of Fate. His nine gorgeous rooms at the
Delavan were the focus of oil attraction, and
their presiding genius the lord Of Destiny.
The States beggarly pittance of $500 per
annum (and trimmings) to each legislator
seemed-nay, was-so paltry when compared
with the munifcence wherewith "the Boss
recompensed his many servitOrs that Mat
toon or Winans must naturally have tossed
it to his bootblack, requesting him to enjoy 1t
with his cronics and then come back for
the recompense of his Winters service And
now
We trust that Mr.. Tweed will take his seat
next January, and are moved to rejoice that the
Honorable Tom Fields will be in the Assem-
bly, to bear him company. How "the Boss
is to get on without his IIitchman in the Speak
er's chair, may seem puzzle; but, in fact, he
will not get on at all; and that solution Is
an easy one. The few spared monuments OF
the by-gone reign of corruption, who basked
in the light of his countenance and lived like
nabobs on his (stolen) money, will pass him
with averted heads the cloud under which
they rest will not permit them to seem familiar
and confidential with the fallen monarch.
Napoleon on St. Helena was impressive; but
to see Tweed, solus, in the next Senate, will
be worth journey to Albany. He must not
resign till all shall have had opportunity to
enjoy and profit by the spectacle.

In NewYork, party organizations coalesced,
and the grand Reform victory was the joint
triumph of honest Democrats and honest Re-
pubhcans against the thieves. In Brooklyn,
party organizations were vigorously maintained,
and the Ring remains unbroken and exultant.
Our friends over the river meant well, and we
offer no reproaches. But if they will consider
the situation, and remember that, when they
had made their decision to run straight Re-
publican ticket, we did what we could to aid
them, they may be disposed to give the more
kindly heed to the suggestion that union Of
honest men, irrespective of party, for honest
government, by an honest Mayor like Martin
Kalbfleisch, would have swept the field. The
people of this great metropolis, whereof Brook
Ign is practically an integral part, have made
up their mind to vote for local officers, not
because they are sound on the Presidency, OF
in favor of the Resolutions of 1913, but because
they are honest and competent. Give them q
fair chance to unite against thieves, and take
New-YOrk City as ample proof that they will

that Mayor Hall stole money himself-th;;:. Is

must be held responsible for that. Mr.. Tom
Fields, whom the incorruptible Democrats Of
the upper wards have chosen to represent
them in the Legislature In preference To
Horatio Seymour, is accused Of gigantic
populations he must DO sent to keep company
with Mr.. Tweed. Garvey and Ingersoll and
Woodward have run off with millions Of our
money; they must be caught and locked up
with the same party. The municipal depart
ments are rotten with jobbery and crime; they
must be ransacked from cellar to garnet, and
every scrap of evidence which the most astuts
lawyers can collect must be used to send To
Jail every rogue whom justice can reach We
repeat that our victory will not be complete
until we witness the great moral spectacle Of
Tweed and his accomplices in the striped uni
form of Sing Sing. That is the way to prevent
the formation Of new Ring about as bad q
the old one,

The War Department contemplates, at last,
the issue of an order which seems to be the
only practicable solution of the Indian problem
in Arizona. 1t is intended to place all the
Indians in the Territory under the direct con-
troll of Major-Gen. Schofeld, commanding the
Division of the Pacific. This, though it is o
virtual confession of the failure of the present.
giving policy, of which Mr.. Vincent COlyer is
the exponent, is hopeful turn of affairs. 1t
really places the whole management Of the
Apaches in the hands of Gen. Crook, who COM
mands the Department of Arizona, and whose
shrewdness and humanity THE TRIBUNE has
heretofore had occasion to note. One line of
policy having failed, it is proposed to try
another in which the " friendly" Indians will
be considered accountable beings.

ERIE IN THE ELECTION.

Mr.. Thomas G.. Sherman, a partner Of Mr..
David Dudley Field, and Of counsel for the
Erie Ring, doubtless recognizes by this time
that neither the personal Influence of himself
aid partners, nor the political power of tho
corrupt Railway Ring which they servo 70
faithfully, was sufficient to defeat the gallant
soldier and honest lawyer, Francis C. Barlow,
for Attorney General. 1t was remarked on
the publication of Mr.. Shearman's circular
letter to his friends, asking them to
"scratch" Barlow's name, that it was sngu.
lar his spleen should lead him to 50 rash
and shallow q trick. But perhaps there are
better reasons for this activity on the part Of
the Erie lawyers to defeat one of their own
political party. There are afoat strange
rumors that evidence exists of a scheme long
ago concocted to which Fisk, jr., and Jay
Gould, with some of their lawyers, and Tweed
and the present Attorney General, were parties,
to prevent the institution of any suits seek
ing to place the Erie Railway in the hands
of receiver. If such q conspiracy exists
it will be exploded the moment the
new Acknowledgement comes into power
q fact which might explain the eagerness OF
Erie and It's lawyers to defeat the Republican
candidate for that Office.
James Fisk, jr., it is well known, has written
to a certain Miss Mansfield of this city num-
Der of letters which are at once confessions OF
his folly and passion and of the Erie Rings
villainy. The power of the State Courts ia
invoked in vain to suppress these precious
documents, in order that the rogues whom they
implicate may not suffer the consequences OF
exposure. Perhaps these letters may throw
full light upon this rumOred conspiracy, as
well as upon such other interesting questions
as the "Erio market value of Legislators" and
the sum it would cost to have an opposing
lawyer put out of the way.

pull down the Republican majority to 1851.
This year their dissolving opposition has only
reduced 1t to about 14,O0O In spite Of all their
clamor. In other words, their late followers
refuse to follow them longer, and the Repub'
lican party proper grows stronger again, as
these temporary disturbances Of demagogueS
subside.
New-Jersey seems to have gone Democratic
by about 5000, against the 4,OSS Republican
majority of last year. In the Legislature
however, we have 10 Senators to the Demo-
Gratis 0, and SO Assemblymen to their "a
marking triaing Republican gain. we
have had o Republican Legislature ana
Democratic Governor for some time in New
Jersey. Our friends there might, as 1t seemed
to U.s. have harmonized this game OF Cross
purposes; and it is no fault OF The TRIBUNE
that the nomination that might have done It
was not made In close contest it is hard
thing to carry a candidate who, however ex-
cellent man he may be, turns his own town
against himself 80 heavily as to swallow up
the whole States majority.
In Minnesota, the Republicans have, as
| usual, swept the State by handsome MAJORITY
| though Austin, the present Governor, runs
| behind his ticket, on account OF personal
weakness which attached great disfavor to his
name in the canvass. AS far as heard from,
Kansas has gone Republican by an increased
majority. Illinois, too, has done nobly; both
Republican Congressman are elected, and the
Union or "Fire-Proof" ticket in Chicago Is
successful by about $1,000
A review of the whole field thus fought
over is encouraging to the champions of pure
and liberal government 6Let us be thankful
for the noble results vouchsafed to us; and
let us be more than ever determined that this
whelming defeat of dishonesty and chicane in
political affairs shall be but an earnest OF
greater victories to be hereafter achieved for

The extensive and daily increasing con-

on our second page, of the condition of the
Iron Industry Of this State, matter of pride
and interest to the entire community. It will
be seen that New-York possesses the really
precious metal in unlimited abundance, and
that, thanks to the protective legislation of
the past ten years, the iron industry is placed
on All enduring and prosperous basis. This
city shares in the wealth diffused by our iron
manufactures, and at no distant day will draw
largely on the mills Of the interior for the
materials of her steamships.

The report of the amount of money raised
for the relief of the Chicago sufferers,
as published by the local Relief Com
mittee, will disappoint most people. The
whole sum subscrbed-$8, SOC, O00-is not
30 large as has generally been e1-
pected and of this but S2,O50,000 has been
actually paid, though several large sums col
lected and announced win eventually be fur
nished to the credit of the Relief Fund. 1t is
evident that the large number Of persons
who must be housed through the severe West
ern Winter now coming on, and otherwise
helped, cannot be thoroughly cared for
by the Relief Committee. We believe
