What u Shows.
The election on Tuesday demonstrates
the certainty of the ability of the Re-
publican party 70 elect the President
next year, but while this certainty ex'
lists there is something to DO rigidly OBJ
served to insure that result The result
shows that political bosses, while they
need not absolutely be relegated to
back seats, at least IN lust not occ py the
front seats with an assumption Of that
superior authority that brought disaster
to the party year ago. The bosses
were never more arrogant and over
bearing than from 1880 to 1882. This
arrogance brought on the Democratic
tidal wave that apparently swept the
party out of existence, and seated Demo-
cratic Governors in such important
States as New York, Pennsylvania,
Connecticut, Kansas, Massachusetts,
Michigan and California. The recoi of
the wave had not commenc d until a
Democratic Governor was elected in
Ohio last mouth. To boss RUE may be
attributed the misiortunes that ended n
handing these strong Republican States
over to the Democrats.
Tuesdays 5 elections show further that
returning reason has taken possession
of the Republican party. They show
that Republicans who had become dis
gusted with tyranny and boss rule
were returning back to their old love.
Last year disasters were notices served
upon the bosses that if they preferred
Democratic TO Republican rule, all they
had to do was to persevere in their AFRO
giant and dictatoria, course. Alarmed
at the results, these bosses, rather than
see the Democratic prty in power in
the nation, withdrew and took their
places in the ranks of the party. Can
we undo the mischief that has been
done, became the question of the hour
A trial at least can be made. With
diffidence and forebod ngs of defeat the
task Of Cancellation was commenced.
The party wanted leaders, without
bosses, and advice without command
Convention after convention WAS held
and Republican tickets were put into
the field. No enthusiasm attended the
conventions, for the people we're fearful
that the bosses would again come 20 the
front and anoUher disaster would be the
con sequence. But confidence gradu
ally took the place of despondtncy and
gradually the hopes of the party grew
stronger. IL vas found that the people
were in earnest. Hali-breeds and stal-
warts sunk their differ nces and took
the field together, recognizing that sue
cess was the first thing to be looked
after, and af er the success of the party
was the time to accept the reward for
their labors. FaCtiOral zeal was buried
and com bined effort was made to OBJ
tain success only because the party
merited success. What have been the
the story. Connecticut that last year
gave 400 Democratic majority, this
year gives as large a majority for the
the Republicans. Republican gain
5000. Massachusetts, which last year
elected Builder, Democrat, Governor Of
Massachusetts by $4,000 majority, this
year elects Robinson, Republican, by
10000 Republican gain, 23,OoD. Penn
sylvauia which last year elected Patti
sor, Democrat Governor by 1900 plu-
rality, this year e.ects the Republican
State ticket by $4,000 majority Eepnb-
lican gain, $4,000 New York, which
last year elected Cleveland, Democrat,
Governor by majority Of 10000, this
year elects the head of the Republican
State ticket by $1,000 majority Repub-
lican gain, 100000
Though the Republicans did not carry
Maryland they gained 10, 600 In the last
election for Governor, and the result in
Minn sofa and Nebraska, where boss
rule had never been permitted 10 gain
such a tOOthold as it lad in the east the
Republicans hold their own without any
sign Of weakening. In only four States
that voted on Tues day the Republicans
gained 3O3 COO votes in one year time
all wi hout boss dlcta:ion and RUG rule.
The election shows that there must be
no political bosses FOR 1881 if the Rr
DuDliraus would be successful. The
