The town was full OF Republicans with
swelled heads yesterday. You ran across
them everywhere. and to hear them talk you
might be led to believe that they alone were
responsible for the general smash.
The Hon. Jacob VI. Patterson strutted about
and chewcd n toothpick. I'VE have known all
along that we mad them. OF course AL we
wanted was fair count, Oar committee did
great work 1t was n great Republican victory
for u.s." This is not his language. but it is tho
substance OF tho idea that possessed him.
Then there was John Sabine Smith. who told
OF the noble work doae by the truly noble
members OF the Republican County Commit
tee. I'VE did it," Mr. Smith remarked.
The average Democratic majority against
all the candidates OF Mr.. Patterson and Mr..
Smith was more than $4,000. That Is about
10000 more than they were beaten last year.
There was Gibbs (the wicked one). He
wanted to know II he hadn't told you SO all
along and If It didn't prove that I'VE are the
people" 1T simply shows" rom arksd Gibbs.
that when we nom mate popular men we can
elect them."
The candidates in Mr.. Gibbss district were
beaten by nearly LOO. which is pretty nearly
300 moro than they were scored last year.
Take the case OF Mr.. Simpson. Attorney
street was hardly big enough to hold him
after he heard the news why. say" he
cried. they couldn't beat us In thousand
years. We didn't have anything in the shape
OF cash but ice-wagon checks but look at US.
Soc what we did"
The can't dates in Mr.. Simpsons district
were beaten by nearly ). 500 majority. That is
about 1000 worse than they were licked last
year.
There was Dennis Shea, too. Mr.. Shea felt
that the Republican County Committee had
done noble" lie could hardly contain him
self he was so happy. and he wanted to know
what's the matter with US. anyhow" The
the matter with us.
The candidates in Mr.. shea's district were
beaten by nearly $500 majority. That's o
little moro than 1000 worse than last year.
There was John Collins Mr. Simpsons
friend. Mr.. Collins strutted as big as pea
cock and pointed with pride to the figures to
prove the greatness Of the victory Of "our
leaders."
Tho candidates in Mr.. Collins's district were
beaten by about 3.250 majority. which 10 800
worse than last year.
Frank Raymond. who Is reported to have
been sitting up nights with Senator Jacob
Cantor lately. also sal See how we did It."
At which several very good Democrats smiled.
Mr. Bernard BiGlin sat around the Fifth Av-
emu. Hotel a good part Of the afternoon. and
couldn't Gee how the results could be sur
passed 1t was nobly done by the Republic
cans. he thought.
The candidates in Mr.. Biglin's district were
licked by more than 5000. which is-but
what's the use OF being mean? OF course. 1t
was Tamuanys fault that the candidates OF
the gentlemen met severer defeat than last
year. That leads to the remark that Tam
many Hall came out OF the general smash with
tanners flying. The average majority that the
1ammany Hall ticket received in the city
WAS considerably greater than the average
OF any other of year since the organ
ilation has been In the ascendancy. Mr.
Lroker would not be interviewed Oh the gen.
