The Vote OF N eW York.
NEW YORK, Oct. 12.-The results of
the charter election in Newark are gratify-
ing to New York Republicans. Although
the issues upon which the election turned
were purely local. the tariff question net be-
ing mentioned. both parties hoped to make
gains for the sake of the moral effect on the
general election next month. The most inn
portant question to be determined from a
political point of view was the attitude of
the German-American voters, who constitute
nearly one-third of the population. The
Thirteenth Ward, the largest in the city,
contains over 5000, ninety per cent of whom
are Germans: These voters were said to
have leen alienated from the Republican
party by reason of the .high-license legisla-
tion of last winter, and it has all along been
predicted that the solid German vote of the
State would go to the Democratic candidate
this year: All eyes were therefore turned
on on the Thirteenth Ward Of Newark in the
charter election to see how far the prediction
would be fulfilled. So confident were Dem
ocrats of victory that they counted
upon a.majority of 1000 or 1900. The result
in the ward is Republican majority of
ffty-nine on a ticket which was calculated to
draw out all the disaffection that might ex-
ist. and it disposes for good Of all apprehen-
sion regarding the attitude of the German
element on the National ticket. The ward
is populated by wage-earners, and is strong
ly Protectionist IL will give about 500 for
Harrison next month.

INDIANAPOLIS, Oct. 12.-Gov. Hill made

Politics Slightly Mixed.
New YORK, Oct 12.-The contest for the
mayoralty between the two Democratic or
gaDizations-T Tammany Hall and the County
Democracy-is young yes, but it has devel-
oped sentiment more bitter and resentful
than has been known in New York politics
for many years. Although but few days
have passed since Mr.. Hewitt and Mr..
Grant were placed in nomination, harsh
language is used by the members of the
County Democracy against Mr.. Grant, and
some of Mr.. Grants friends have begun
savage warfare upon Mr. Hewitt. Already
the animosities uncovered and the bad b lood
shown give evidence of campaign of merci-
less severity. The rancor and malice ex-
hlblted against leach other thus early in the
canvass by these two factions of the Demo-
cracy are painful for the members OF the
party outside OF the city to contemplate, but
the Republicans can look on with serene
complacency while the Democratic factions
are trying to rend each other into fragments.
The failure of the efforts of Secretary Whit
ney, Private Secretary Lamont. Col. Brice
and other leaders of the party to secure a
union of the factions has. left a
legacy of bad blood and bad feeling which
will become still more heated and angray as
the campaign advances. The active men In
the County Democracy and Tamnany Hall
are trying to get the papers to publish daily
interviews and letters which will increase
the strife already stirred up. The Demo-
ceatlc papers are not working in harmony by
any means, and editorials and other articles
Of much ferocity on the mayoralty contest
frequently appear.
The Worlds opposition to the mayor
has been in harmony, with the style of war
fare which has been begun, and it has let no
occasion slip for displaying the deep-seated
hostility that it evidently has toward the
nominee OF the County Democracy. In yes
terday's issue it went so far as to insist that
Mr.. Hewitt had not shown his personal hon.
esty, "his Quixotic courage or his pragamati-
cal independence" in the conduct Of the
mayors office. ''Of what good" it asks, sis
an honesty which hobnobs politically with
and accepts nomination from men like Po-
lice Justice Power, whose partisan activity
the mayor rebuked in his usual message, and
Richard 999 Cunningham, of currupt con-
tract fame, Tom Costigan, Fatty Walsh,
VIM. Mitchell, Maurice b. Flynn and their
associates in the County Democracy? What
beneht does the city receive from an honesty
which obstructs or ignores investigations
into the mismanagement of city offices be-
cause the mayor fancies he has occasion to
dislike the newspaper which exposes the
wrong?"
The Sun, not to be behind the rest in this
interesting hunt for scalps on a large scalp,
opens its batteries upon ''the Ivans-Logan-
Grace combination" and s'the Mugwump
factory at No. 45 Pine street."
When 1t is remembered that this Mug
wump crowd" which the Sun mathematics
are generally supporters of Mr.. Hewitt in
the contest for Mayor, and while fighting
Hill, whom the Sun champions, are making
common cause with Hewitt, the Suns can
dldate for Mayor, the nature and amount of
cross firing which the Republicans will be
compelled to contemplate during the next
lew weeks may be fairly imagined.
The Presidents Next Step.
NEW YORK, Oct. 12.-It is the talk of the
Democratic clubs that the President will, be-
fore election, issue non-intercourse pro-
clamation with Canada, to counteract the
prevalent feeling against the Bayard idea,
Inc Democratic national committee is urg-
ing him to do so, to furnish them with cam
paign thunder for the last ten days.
