THE MUG WUMPS' FATAL FRIENDSHIP.

Tested by the fierce white light of practical
experience, what good thing not to have is
the support of the NIugwumps! Just look at
it. Although Ira Davenport had never done
them any harm, they earnestly espoused his
cause when he ran for Governor in 1885. MIR.
Davenport was defeated by a plurality OF
11,134, although in 1884 Cleveland scraped In
with but 1,O47. In the same year they GAL
lantly rallied around General Woodward in his
canvass for the Mayoraty of Brooklyn. What
was the nature of the grudge which they bore
against the General is not known. But 1t is
history that he was bad third in the race, re-
ceiving only 1914 votes in total of 90, $50.
So it was in the recent campaign. The as
sistance of the Mugwumps was not distinguish
able from a superior article of mildew. They
made Warner Miller victim of their good will.
Miller was strong and popular candidate, but
it was no use. So too, they buckled close to
Mayor Hewitt. And although the Mayor fought
a good fight, he not only was beaten but did not
even succeed in gaining second place. Over in
Massachusetts their pet Congressional nominee
was Thomas Wentworth Higginson, and the
voters turned around and elected General Banks
by handsome plurality.
Is it not true that man who runs for public
office with the Mugwumps enlisted in his favor
runs with milestone about his neck?

other offences against art and taste and tho public
welfare. This tender solIcitude about sherdan an
art, coming, as IT, usually does. from people whe
manIfestly know nothing about either, Is nttls lee
than comic. As matter OF fact. Mr. Jefferson has
materially improved the comedy, by cutting ous OF

calls "the false nnery and second-rate ornament
by emitting Julia and most Of Falkland, who are drs

her ma-appropriate speeches. That he eieyates the
character OF Acres Is not to be denied but he has
only intensified the portraiture Of HIS author, and the
mart IS far more interesting and agreeable s played
bv him than It ever in other hands. Sheridan
himself said Of "Thc Rivals" that be thought IL one
of the worst plays in the language and he would give

HOW TT COLD HAVE BEEN DONE.

So Mr.. Hewitt was third after all in the Mayor
atty race The vote stands Grant, ILL., 740 (;
Erhardt, ~ GA Hewitt, 70,53S.
Now Harrison had 1O5, $50 votes in this city,
so that 49, O6 Republicans who voted for Harri-
son failed to vote for Erhardt, but threw their
votes instead for Hewitt. If these men had
voted for their own candidate, Erhardt would have
needed only 900 votes of outside help to keep
this city from passing under the administration of
Tammany Hall and put it in the hands of man
whom Mayor Hewitt declared he would make
as good a Mayor a. I am, better" If the real
good of the city was the question to be considered,
and the best chance Of securing it, would 1T not
have been better for Hewitts friends to give the
Republican candidate for Mayer $500 votes and
elect him, instead OF demanding that the Rcpub-
lcans should give them 33, 06 votes and then not
getting enough to be more than third in the race
We do hope our weak kneed Republican friends
will face these figures and learn their lesson.
A little effort would have given us Republican
MAYOR. little bit of the kind OF help from Mt.
Hewitt and his friends which they have been
receiving heretofore from Republicans would have
put at the head of the city government man
admitted by Mr.. Hewitt to be as good as himself

THE thrift md THE RESULT.

After an election, men ought to be able to
see more Of public opinion than before the votes
are cast. But some are not, because they pre-
fer to read into the returns their own precon-
ceived beliefs. Alike to Republicans and
Democrats, it is of the utmost importance this
year to get the right understanding of the YER
dict which the people have rendered, nor is the
task difficult if approached with sincere de-
sire to arrive at the exact truth.
Beginning with this State, the Republicans
came down to the Harlem River with about
85, 900 plurality, against 62 900 four years ago
and "A 900 when Garfield was elected. But
this they did in spite Of the withdrawal of about
23, 900 Prohibition votes, mainly from the Re-
publican ranks north of the river. In that part
of the State, therefore, the Republican net
gain, even as compared with the Garfield
election, was very large. All accounts before
the election both Democratic and Republican,
foreshadowed Republican gains in the farming
districts and the manufacturing towns because
Of the tariff policy of the Democratic party.
1t would be wilfH blindness to deny that the
result thus anticipated was mainly due to the
cause assigned. Democratic gains in this great
city were expected. The importing and trad
ing interest here has enormously increased
within eight years; large part OF it has been
enlisted in Mr.. Clevelands behalf the increase
in foreign population here has been very rapid
and the natural growth Of a great Democratic
city might be expected to swell The Democratic
majority here In spite Of all these influences
The Republican vote in New-York and Brook
yn was 40.6 per cent Of the total vote in 1884
and g per cent Of the total vote in 1888
showing slight increase
Similar conditions affected the result in Con-
necticut and New-Jerscy. In the larger centres
Of foregn-born population the Republican
party lost, not only because Of the great in
crease of votes by immigration, but also because
the action Of the party on the temperance ouas-

doubtless elected him; they were. cast for Mr..
Miller also, but they could not elect him, be-
cause the saloon-keepers' money carried more
votes the other way.
One result Of Mr.. Millers defeat may be to
postpone for three years any fair and adequate
treatment of the questions of High License and
Ballot Reform. But the Republican party
should not and we believe will not, retreat an
inch on the road it has travelled. Let bills
embodying these reforms be among the first to
reach Governor Hill al the hands of the Re-
publican Legislature. Let him veto them if
he choose. The people of the State will event
ually wake up to the situation and we will
smash this saloon and boss power. II may be
that the saloon keepers themselves will be able
to read the handwriting on the wall, and will
give the Governor permission to sign a mod
crate bill, rather than provoke harsher meas

As the returns continue to reach us the mag
nitude of the Republican victory increases.
1t is highly probable that the Solid South has
been broken. A Republican victory in West
Virginia is conceded by the Democratic State
Treasurer and it seems safe to transfer the SIX
electoral votes of that State to the Harrison
column. With West Virginia. the Republicans
would elect their ticket without the help OF
New-York. The plurality for Harrison and
Morton in this State. will not be far from
12, 900. Indiana is surely Republican, al
though the returns are not yet complete Call
fornia gives Harrison plurality of about 5000
and Nevada about 1900. Our latest figures on
the vote for Representatives still show Ke-
publican majority of IS to 30; Mr.. McPherson's
latest estimate is that the next House will con-
tain 1913 Republicans and 152 Democrats
Governor Hills plurality will probably reach
$4,000. The returns for the rest Of the State
ticket are vet far from complete, but indications
point to the election of all the Democratic
candidates except possibly Judge Gray.

VR. JEFFERSON.

The last opportunities that will be offered here for
the present. Of seeing Mr. Jefferson Mr.. Gilbert and
Mrs. Drew in the comedy Of The Rivals may be en-
loyed now, at the Fifth Avenue Theatre, and they
ought to be improved by all lovers of good acting.
Persons who miss the benefit and the pleasure OF see
Ing this noble exhibition OF the beauty of dramatic
art Will walt long time before they meet with any
thing like Its equal The statement, indeed appears
In print that Mr.. Jefferson has injured sheridan's
comedy by his alteration Of II. and that he Is wasting
bis artistic opportunities and committing various
