THE DIFFERENCE IN PARTIES.

No one thing has been made clearer by
the elections than that the Den ocratic par
ty in it's strongholds yields cheerfully 70 the
dictation of a boss, while the Republican
party resents the one-man power or even
the assertion that it exists in the party.
There is Tammany. 1t claims to be the
Democracy of New York city. 1t chung to
Boss Tweed not only after his political
crimes were made known, but after he was
indicted. There never was in politics, and
there cannot be, more odious boss than
Croker He is a tyrant. AT the outset the
leaders of Tammany had set their hearts up
on another man than Van Wyck for mayor.
Ross Croker's choice was Van Wyck, and
Van wyck was named without dissenting
voice; the local leaders went forth from
the convention swearing vengeance, but
the revolt of words did not in the least aga
tate Croker. The great mass of voters were
made to feel his influence and went to the
polls and voted his ticket Everybody
knows that Van Wyck will not be mayor,
but Richard Croker, whose wealth cannot
be accounted for except by the blackmail
levied by Tammany. Four years ago it
was proved that Tammany existed by
blackmail levied upon lawbreakers and ex-
torted from tradesmen for little privileges.
The decent men of the city united and
overthrow Tammany, and Croker retired,
under load of infamy which would have
crushed any other man. Now. by plural
ity of the votes of Greater New York, he
is the most potential figure in the Demo-
cratic party in the State of New York and
factor in national Democratic politics.
On the other side, Senator Plat has for
years been chsrged with being the Repub-
lican boss. He has for years had en- In
fuence in Republican management which.
considering his ability. has been great

UNWARRANTED CLAIMS.

Mr.. Bryan makes haste to claim that the
Chicago platform received a significant in
dorsement in the election, insisting that sill
yer is yet a great issue which has not been
settled. The organs of the silver-mine own
ers will take the same view. But when
the political field is viewed in what State
has any Democratic candidate received as
many votes as did Mr.. Bryan a year ago?
In New York the Democratic candidate
for Judge was elected by the votes of near
ly half of the supporters of Mr.. Low who
are either sound-money men or Republicans.
The candidate who was elected on the state
cratic state committee, which voted by
decided majority not to indorse the Chicago
platform. In Pennsylvania the Democrats
are beaten about the same as usual, and
their candidates were pledged to the Chi
cago platform. In Maryland Mr.. German
ignored the 16-to-1 heresy in his platform.
In Ohio, over the result in which State the
Democrats make such loud claims, Mr.. Bry-
ans vote year ago was thousands more
than that of the Democratic ultra free silver
candidate for Governor. while the state
ticket was elected by larger plurality than
Republican candidate ever received the
year after the election of a Republican
President. Iowa is reliably Republican in
the off year. Mr.. Bryan's vote in Nebraska
in 1886 was larger than his party vote on
Tuesday. South Dakota has gone Repub-
lican because the fusionites did not vote
Kentucky is the only State that shows signs
of turning back to 16-to-1 Democracy, and
in that State it is doubtful if the Democratic
vote is as large as was Mr. Bryan's year
ago by thousands. Kentucky is the only
State voting on the silver issue that would
have voted differently from last fall when
it was carried by Mckinley by scratch.
In view of such facts the claims of the
siverites that the voting of Tuesday has
resulted in any real advantage to them are
absurd
