The "Tammany Tiger" Issue.
New York is overwhelmingly demo-
cratic. Roswell P. Flower has carried
the empire state by large majority
over the republican nominee, j. Sloat
Fassett. The comparisons made in
the dispatches are with Hills plurality
in 1855 and gains are shown every
where throughout the state. Mr.. Fas-
sett's campaign was made largely on
the "Tammany tiger" ISSUE This was
designed to stir up the rural party of
the state against the metropolis This
plan of campaign, however. has proven
signally unsuccessful Flower has
gained more relatively in the country
than he has gained in the city, and has
made a remarkable race. The efforts
to stir up dissatisfaction in Kings coun-
ty was also failure, for Kings county
gave the largest democratic plurality
that it has given in many years.
The New York victory is clear and
decisive. 1t places the state casting
the most electoral votes securely in
the democratic column.
With all dissensions healed the de-
mocracy of New York will march on
to victory in 1892. Detroit Free Press.
Notes in General.

and repudiated by nearly every other
state in the union. have been victorious
in Ohio solely because of the formida-
BILE forces of corruption which support
ed them. In Pennsylvania, too, the
rottenness of the party was not less in.
