Views on the Result.
Mayor Hewitt says on the result If
everybody is as we'll satisfied as l am,
then everybody is happy. The result OF
the election for mayor relieves me, OF q
great responsibility, and that IL what
have been anxious for all along. WIN
reference to the Presidential contest |
can only say at this time that III the
Democratic ticket is defeated, MS would
appear the case, | am sorry for it,"
Joseph j. O'DOnohue said: We'll,
the country is all right, even If we arc
defeated. / suppose the cry of free
trade killed us: but what lost the fight
in this State, in my opinion, was not
having n united ticket in this city ana
the fight between Mclaughlin and Nc
Kane in Kings County. If we could
have had q united ticket here New YORK
City would have rolled up n majority
of at least 10000 for the NATIONAL
ticket"
Tammany polled nearly 20 per cent.
of the Democratic vote cast in New York
City, and polled il uniformly for all its
candidates. The vote for Mayor on the
Tammany ticket is the largest ever cast
of local character in this city, even
when the Democracy was united.
A Violent Editorial.
An extraordinary editorial appears in
the Mail and Express, which, after OPEN
ing and saying, The Roman Catholics
have taken the city," goes on to enumer-
ate the city officials of that faith. and
closes with, and if there be any other
office they will get it, and then make
new offices for more of themselves. Inc
Church of Rome is nothing IT not polltl-
cal. 1t is the dominant party in this
city. The majority of voters in tins
city belong TO that party. The mead
and leader of this party is Archbishop
Corrigan.' The article occasions much
surprise and indignation. If IL had been
printed before the election IT would nave
been worth many votes to Cleveland.
Tammany Again Leads.
The vote in the city puts Tammany
once more in the proud position of leader
ship in the Democratic councils of the
State and nation. If the young element
now in control of the wigwam can keep
their hertls, the new era opens vista
for them that may obliterate the errors
of the past. Mayor Grant VIII have q
patronage at his command equal almost

trust that so young man may well ap-
proach with ditiidence. From the debris
the County Democracy crawls out n
broken and disintegrated wreck. The
| country will not hold them entirely guilt
| less of the general ruin, and the State
will scolf at their beggarly showing OF
less than fifty thousand votes, and vote
it almost ON par with the Coogan farce.
Mr.. Hewitt retires TO political oblivion,
and his lSnow-nothing creed is once
more depicted in the lumber room of the
Anticipated and rejected political lads oil
| the country, never to be used again.
There is some Democratic consolation IN
the defeat, but they are few and far be
tween. The whole Tammany local ticket
is elected, as is also the Democratic local
ticket in Brooklyn. The political COM
plexion of the Congressional delegation
remains unchanged, and will be j. w
Covert, Felix Campbell, John M. Clancy,
Thomas f. Wagner, all Democrats. and
w. Q. Wallace, Republican, from Long
Island. From New York, will go Frank

is satisfactory TO note that the deal made
