THE NEW ORKELECITON

As the Atlanta Journal says, the
result { f the ongressional elections
IN the fourteenth and fifteenth dis.
tricts Of New York, Tuesday, is not
plea sirg to the contemplation of
Democrats.
A little over Il year ago the Demo-
cratic nominee Ia tie fourteenth dis
trict had about 5000 over all cppos
sition, and the Democrats carried tie
fifteenth district by about $4,000.
Tuesdays ections we're held to fill
vacancies caused by the designations
of the two Democratic congressman
IN these districts who have accepted
fat local Offices in New York City.
In the fifteenth u strict the Demos
cratic maj )rity IF 5000 was en-
tirely swept away and the Rpub bli~
can nominee was elected. In the
fifteenth district the Democratic
nominee was elected by greatly re-
duced majority. What caused these
re marx at lie changes?
The Democratic candidates were
nominated by Tam many and had the
nominal SUPP OFT Of all elements of
the party. There have been charges
for some time past that Brown and
Strauss, the Democratic nominees,
were merely put up by Tammany to
be slaughtered, as neither of them
las been TammanY man, On the
other hand, it has been asserted that
swt at is known as the new Democs
racy IN New ork would not sup
.tport Tammany nominee, whoever
= may e.
This sort of talk shows that there
lisa woeful degree of-discord in tn
New York Dem cracy. It's faction
iappear to Late each other more hearts
tiy than ever, and have even carried
their fight into Congress. The start of
the present trout bles was the nomina-
itn of tie last State ticket, which
was ingloriously beaten. The put
ting OF the notorious Maynard at the
neaC OIL the ClckeG was an all O1t TO
many Thousands of Democrats, and
at that moment the kriIes were
drawn, which Tuesdays result proves
are still unsheathed.
Richard Croker recently visited
Washington, lobbied against the in
come tax and predicted disaster to
the rarty if it should pass the Will
son bill His visit and conduct irri-
tated not only many Democrats ln-
Washington, but hosts of them in
New York.
It is very clear that the Demo
cratic party in New York cannot
hope to hold the State unless it be
thoroughly reorganized. Neither of
the present factions can carry it, and
as long as they continue their bitter
fight with each other the State will
be easy prey to the Republicans.
Let US hope that the lessen of Tues
days elections will not be disres
garded.

The news of the death of Mrs
Hyman which reached here yes.
terday afternoon, was received with
surprise, and many were the tokens
of regret.

Mr.. r j. S.oar, of this place, and
was married to MIR. Lyman only
about year ago.
1t was known ste was critically

that death was SO near.
Mrs. Hyman was general
favorite in Greensboro and nuns
bered her friends by the seors. Al
ways bright, vivacious and cheer
full, her untimely death is greatly
lamented.
Her remains, we understand,
will not be brohght here for inter~
ment, but will be buried in or near
Goldsboro. the home of her hus-
band.
The sympathy of the community
goes out to the young husband and
to her parents, to all OF whom it
was a cad blow.
Yesterday there passed away from
thote that loved her, woman SO
generous-hearted, sweet and true,
that the hearts that by her going
are CT ushed and broken cen thank
God for the sweet memories that
she leaves them.
Only words of brightness can
speak OF that joyous young lie,
even as we speak through bitter,
binding tears. Like a CLEAN oi
Gods dear sunshine she ever was,
and to us who knew that sweet
spirit but to love it, how much we
lost that was precious when that
beloved life went out.
To all of Us who loved her there
comes a host of clinging, lovely
memories. Tenderly we think OF
her happy, lightshearted girIhood,
her sweeter maidenhood, when she
gave her heart to God. There comes
