NEW YORK. LETTER.
New YoRK, November 1th, 1898.

New YoRK, November lth, 1898.
The people have spoken, and in no un-
certain strain and the consequence is
that the bosses in New from Buffalo to
| Brooklyn, have been showed under an
avalanche OF votes. The honor, the
credit and the respectability of the en-
pire state OF New York, has been re-
deemed by the great victory achieved for
the people by the election OF Edward I
Bartlett to the Court OF Appeals bench,
and tie defeat OF the stained and guilty
Judge Maynard on Tuesday. At the
present writing the New York Herald,
corrected returns, show over 100 900 plu-
ralty for Bartlett, and from IS 900 to
80 900 plurality tor the rest Of the re-
publican state ticket. The entire legis-
lature, both branches, are republican,
giving over thirty majority on joint
ballot. Maynard ran over 30, 900 behind
the democratic ticket in this city. and
was badly cut in Brooklyn and Buffalo.
All citizens OF respectability and honesty
| of purpose worked hard as watchers and
workers, in the many po'ing districts, for
| the success OF Bartlett. Their efforts
have been crowned with success, and in
| fact, in a perfect landslide which COM
pletely buried the Hill-Croker- Murphy
Sheehan1amnany combine and the
thief nominated for judicial office, as a
reward for this crime against the ballot
| and its sacredness Not alone did May
nard meet with overwhelming defeat but
the despsed and corrupt combination OF
! ringsters, in our sister city, Brooklyn,
was smashed to atoms. Chas A ScheFien,
republican and independent candidate
defeated the rings tool, Mayor David 4
| Boody by over Sc. .oco plurality, also de-
| feated the entire democratic county and
city tickets by plurality ranging from
| Il, 900 to %, 900. William J Gaynor the
eminent democratic lawyer and defender
Of the peoples rights in Brooklyn, was
also elected on the republican ticket, for
Supreme Court Judge by over 1000
plurality. The city OF churches rejoices,
and the people are wild with enthusiasm
over the magnificent result. The most
sanguine prediction gave Scherien 10, 600,
but to tie surprise and qualification Of
| the hard working and earnest citizens,
/ who instigated the reform movement
/ against the presen. municipal govern
| ment, over Sc, 900 was the figure. With
| the rews'from Buffalo, which is the home
OF blue eyed Bill'' Sheehan, that the
/ city gave Bartlett majority OF 10000
and that the democratic candidates for
4 the Assembly had been defeated, the
victory for the people in their denuncia-
= tion OF boss rule" became complete. II
/ is to be hoped that the better element in
/ the democratic party will form new or
tanization, and fight hand in hand with
| the republicans OF this city, 10 accomp-
/ lish the Annlhi.ation Of Tammany Hall
next wear The hand writing is plainly
/ visible on the wall and Dick" Croker
and hls corrupt band OF municipal nigh
! wayuen. will surely meet the same fate

18th It's patronage is powerful, and
through oiiciousness controls many
strong and available vote getting
methods. But Rome fell, and the tiger
| will meet his fate when the Teople Of
/ New Eork City determine TO undermine
/ the corrupt political corporation, which
/ il is hoped will lie before the flowers
| bloom in the spring Of 1926
The drama is 81 its height, and the
theatres are all prospering, but Reyerthe-
/ less the financial depression which ex-
lists all oxer the country, shows its effect
upon the box office receipts The the
atrieal managers however are content
with the present profits. Many new
| plays. some successful. others not so
| fortunate, have been PRODUCED thus far
| this season. The most noticeable and
/ probably the best acted play. was Mr.
| Richard Mansfield's production oi
| Shakespeare comedy Merchant OF
Venice" shylock was essayed by Mr.
/ Mansfield. it being his first appearance
7 in the character, which was made famous
/ by Americas late student aud actor Ed
win Booth. Mr. Mahsliel1 scored q vel!
/ deserved success, and his protEayal OF the
despised and rsvengrfal Jew was artistic,
| strong. and contained all the features
which were so we'll defined by The grea:
/ actors ut both continents This new de-
par;ure, !or this young and talented
( actor. was unexpected and the dramists
/ have given great credit to the ambitious
artist, no; only Tor his individual achieve
men; in his iinpersonation Of SbyloCk.
/ but also for Shakespearian taste in the
selection Of the cast, and the excellent
Staging Of the we'll known comedy,
