MIR. GOucher has represented, or rather

during these sessions is matter of history.
He was denounced by the press of the State

State, as a lobDer of the thoroughbred order.
He voted for every appropriation, just or

the effect Of which every taxpayer felt
when he paid his taxes last year. To place
him forward again as g representative Of

WI O DID II -?

Since Tuesday we have met number of
men whose conversation conveyed the I'M
preston that without their aid the Demo-
Gratis would have carried the State and city.
The activity of these claimants was avowedly
limited to "making the fight" of one OF two
candidates Their methods were to trade
off everything for the candidate whose
fight - they were making. The Chronicle
of Friday morning claims the result as
Chronicle victory. Our contemporary how
ever did not go back to the time when it de-
clared Markham an unfit candidate for Gov
ernor and issued orders that he must not be
nominated. 1t makes no reference to
series of articles against Markham which
furnished our Democratic opponents with
material during the campaign. The CTon-
icle bases its claim to influence mainly on
the facts that Mr.. Siebe, whomit supported,
ran ahead of his ticket, and that Mr. Wad-
ham. whom it did not support, ran behind
his ticket. Our contemporary, however,
does not mention the fact that Mr. Wad-
hams opponent was personally a very
strong man with extensive business and
local relations We are willing, however,
TO give the Chronicle whatever credit is at
tached to the probable defeat of Mr.. Wad-
ham. Mr.. Siebe ran ahead of his ticket by
virtue of the qualities which as an indie
pendent candidate on a former occasion
nearly elected him. The fact that the Post
tried to bleed him for $1,000, with the at
tending results, helped Mr.. Siebe to roll up
his large majority. People like man who
has the courage to defy the journalistic
strikers. who, with other piece" men,
make the lot of a candidate hard to bear.
In view Of the number Of persons who are
claiming to have won the victory by their
own personal efforts, THE CALL thinks it
right and proper to claim the first place
among Republican workers. 1t was THE
CALL which made Markham's nomination
possible, and THE CALI. which, more than
any other Influences, contributed to his
election. THE CALL was the only morning
journal in The city which supported the
whole ticket and, in doing So said nothing
10 furnish our opponents with arguments
against the election of the whole ticket.
With daily audience of quarter of
million and the prestige of being journa!
which wants nothing either of candidates
or officials it conveyed to the public not
only its own arguments but the gist of the
speeches of campaign orators. 1t was not
only the medium which reached the great
est number of readers. but it is the one
which possesses in the largest degree the
confidence OF readers of both parties.
