PRESS COMMENT.
New YORK, Nov. 4.-The Sun says
"We attribute the astonishing Demo-
cratic demonstration in the northern,
central and western counties, not less to
the personal popularity of Flower and
the general confidence in his
sterling qualities, than to the
melancholy exhibition of the
moral and intellectual inadequacy
which constituted Fassett's plan
of campaign. But the towering
fact of the contest is that New York
carries the banner of Democracy. Pos
sibly the. the Democratic wave has ex
tended to Ohio"
The Tribune says: "The peculiar cir
cumstances of this state and Massachu-
setts made local issues predominant,
and it will not be in the end help
full to the Democratic party
that it gained success yesterday
with the worst end foremost, and
triumphant in New York, the Demo
cratic party is not, in fact, as strong nor
as good reason to hope for success
hereafter as if it, had been purged and
purified by defeat. With the general
result the Republicans have no reason
to be disheartened. They rejoice in some
splendid victories already achieved, and
point to them as proof that another
years similar progress and achievement
will give them national triumph"
The World says: TT means in ma
tional affairs that New York is soundly
and securely Democratic; that on tariff
and national issues forced by Hill,
Cleveland and other Democratic speak
ers New York is a strongly Democratic
state for next years presidential elec-
tion."
The Morning Advertiser says: Gas
sett is beaten in fair contest. There
is not an excuse to blame his defeat up.
on. His weakness in the rural districts
seems incomprehensible."
The Press says: Lack OF organiza-
ton, reliance on enthusiasm instead of
work and similar causes have combined
to reduce the Republican vote over the
Il L. l. r..
expected. Where the blame lies spe-
officially will not be known until the
returns are all in.''
The Times says: "The verdict OF the
election is vindication of the serious
ness and good sense OF the people of the
state, and condemnation Of the polit-
ical tricksters who thought to fool
them"
