EDITORIAL COMMENTS.
New YORK, Nov. 4.-The Sun says: We
attribute the astonishing Democratic dem
onstration in the northern, central and
western counties not less TO the personal
pOpuIdiIkS VI GiUNtI, anu general COnu-
dence in his sterling character, than to the
melancholy exhibition Of moral and intel-
lectual inadequary which constituted FaS-
setts plan of campaign. But the towering
| fact of the contest Is that New York carries
| the banner OF Democracy, and possibly the
Democratic wave has extended to Ohio.
The Tribune says: Peculiar circum-
stances in this State and Massachusetts
made local issues predominant, and it will
not be in the end helpful to the Democratic
| party that it has gained a victory yester--
| day. With the worst eud foremost and
! triumphant in New York the Democratic
party is not In fact, as strong nor has it as
! good reason to hope for success hereafter as
| II 1t had been purged and purified by de-
feat. With the general result the Repubi-
| cans have no reason to be disheartened.
| They rejoice in some splendid victories
already achieved, and point to them as proof
| that another year of similar progress and
achievement will give them national tri-
| umph."
The World says: It means in national
affairs that New York is soundly and Sc
curely Democratic; that on tariff and other
| national issues forced to the front by Hill,
Cleveland and other Democratic speakers,
New York is strongly Democratic State
| for next years Presidential election.
The Morning Advertiser says: Fassett Is
beaten in fair contest. There is not an
| excuse to blame his defeat, not even bad
weather His weakness in the rural dis
tricts seems ncomprehensible.
The Press saws: Lack or organization
reliance on enthusiasm instead Of work and
similar causes have combined to reduce the
| Republican vote over the State very much
below what was fairly expected. Where
the blame lies specifically will not be
| known until the returns are all in
The Times says: The verdict of the elec
tion is the viudication of the seriousness
and good sense Of the people of the Stat,
and the condemnation of political trickster
who thought to fool them"
