NEW YORK RESCUED.

Well. what is the Plat organs re-
viSed opinion of David B. Hill and
''peanut politics?"-New York World.
With Democratic state senate. we
understand the new year has roster
outlook for Gov. Flower.-New York
Advertiser.
The decision of the court of appeals
confirms the decision rendered by the
people in the case of Flower VS.. FaSsett.
New York World.
Although the decision is made by an
established court, the court is composed
Of five Democratic and two Republican
judges. and the decisions are such as to
give strong reasons for the suspicion of
party bias milwaukee Sentinel.
But the greatest gain is to the people.
Under the present apportionment there
are thousands OF citizens of the Empire
state who have practically no voice in
elections. This condition will be
changed and new, fair and honest re-
districting OF the state made.-Chicago
Globe.
The Democrats, now that they have
control of all branches of the state gov
eminent, will be enabled to make many
desirable reforms. For years it has
been impossible to secure Democratic
legislature because of the outrageous
disfranchisement of the Democratic
majority.-Philadelph Record.
The decision of the court of appeals
yesterday will eclipse the gayety of
many Republican organs that esteemed
themselves learned i'll the law. Still,
man is of few days and full of sorrow,
and they can hardly hope to be excep-
tons to the general ruie.-New York
Advertiser.
Whatever use the Democrats may
make OF their stolen senate. the outrage
can hardly fail to arouse the Indignation
OF the Republicans to such point as to
call out full popular vote next year.
Some such eataclySn was necessary to
the development of the latent strength
of the party.-Chicago Inter Ocean.
The lofty and patriotic wrath with
which Senator Hiscock denounees the
New York court of appeals for having
decided in favor of the Democrats in the
contested election cases would be more
Impressive were it not for the fact that
the decision makes his reelection i'm
possible. 1t is because his own OK is
gored that the senator waxeth thus vi
uperative.--Chicago Times.
There are many things in these sew
eral judicial decisions and opinions
which will receive serious attention in
| the future. The whole matter deserves
the careful reading and earnest thought
| OF every Intelligent citizen. Probably
no more important legal decisions af-
fectiDg elections have been made since
the electoral commission adjourned
New York Times.
The decision of the court of appeals
| in the election cases, awarding major
ity of the senators to the Democrats,
| confirms tue verdict of the people at the
polls. 1t insures majority rule. 1t puts
| an end to the long run of Iawlessuess in
New York. New York, Democratic
state since 1882, is to have government
Democratic throughout for the first
time in many years.-New York World.
The fact that the possession of the
New York legislature by the Hill party
| will lead to general upsetting of the
| congressional and legislative districts
of the state might give President Har-
rison another text for special message
! on gerrymandering, but otherwise it
will not cause much sorrow to people
not Immediately affected. The Repub-
licans have enjoyed the benefits OF a
gerrymander for some years, and since
| on both sides party supremacy is con-
| sidered of greater importance than hon
| est representation. it is little more than
fair that the Democrats should have
their turn.-Pittsburg Dispatch.
