CARLISLE CLAIMS HIS ELECTION

NEW YORK, November 1.-THE World
this morning says: 'Mr. Carlisle's pre-
dicament, rs well rs the unexpected defeat
of Mr.. Morrison in Illinois, conveys a
special warning to the administration at
Washington. Party ligatures cannot be
cut or lOoSed by those high in power and
be expected to hold fast those who put
them in power. The Speaker OF the House
and the Chairman of the Appropriations
Committee have fallen victims to the low
standard of party fealty and obligation
that prevails in the White House. If Mr..
Cleveland desires TO have the supremacy
OF his party maintained in the Presiden-
tial contest of 1888, he must 50 shape his
policy in the future as to bind it together
to associate the leaders in unity Of action
and inspire the voters with devotion to
Democratic principles"
GEORGE MAY Run FOR PRESIDENT.
The UOrlfs Washington correspondent
last night telegraphed as follows:
THE large vote given TO Henry George
has attracted the attention OF the most
thoughtful of the politicians Ii is be-
lieved that he will be very prominent
factor in 1883, and that it is among the
possibilities that the Labor organizations
may nominate him for the Presidency and
so make New York doubtful State for
either party. The Mayoralty contest was
the one in which the public was most in
terested. Mr.. Hewitt, through his election
has become figure of great national prom
inence The possibilities OF his future are
discussed by all of the politicians who are
Interested in the next Presidential cam
paign. Mr.. Hewitt has great oprortu.
nifty rs reform Mayor, and every one
who knows him believes that he will
make the most Of it,
UNCUMMONLY SMART POLITICS.
The Sun this morning says: The least
considered, but not the most important as
! pect OF the George demonstration, with It's
unexpected deyelopement ,of organized
strength, directly concerns the Presidential
election two years hence. We have no
reason to suppose that brother Blaine and
his friends instigated or encouraged the
George movement, but if they have done
so, it would have been uncOmmOnly smart
politics. Atany rate, Mr.. Blaine aud the
Republican leaders must take for the next
two years lively interest il the political
dOingS of Mr.. Henry George and his fol-
lowers, in New York city and else
where Ii Mr.. Blaine should run against
strong Democrat in 1SSs, the combined
ProhibitioniSt and Mugwump secession
would naturally result in defeating him
again But if Mr. Blaine should run
against the strongest of Democrats, with
Mr.. Henry Gecrgeiin the field as the Pres.
idential candidate of the laboe organiZa-
tionS, developing throughout the country
anything like the strength he showed day
before yesterday in this town, could Mr..
Blaine be defeated? What would the Re.
publican loss in the ProhibitiOnist and
Mugwump vote be compared with the
Democratic loss in votes for the Labor
candidate? As things stand to-day, il
would seem to be n pretty sure card for
Brother Blaine. Does anybody think he
doesn't see it,
