In an interview published a few weeks ago
General Harrison suggested that the office
of mayor of Greater New York might
henceforth be recognized as stepping
stone to the presidency. The remark was
intended to give weight to Mr.. Tracy's cam
didacy, but it was also an allusion to the
promotion of another New York man from
mayor to President. 1t looks as if Mr..
Clevelands career may have introduced a
new element into our politics, or at least
into the plans of politicians. Everybody
knows how he passed from the Office of
mayor of Buffalo to that of President of the
United States only stopping on the way
long enough to serve one term as Governor
of New York. His success fired a good
many brains, and will probably continue to
do so until it is demonstrated that there is
no necessary connection between the office
of mayor and that OF President.
General Harrisons remark was accom-
panied by others showing his high esteem
for General Tracy, and that in reality he
thought him good presidential timber. So
Re is. Smaller men. than General Tracy
have occupied the presidential chair in past
years and may again. AS secretary of the
navy he made a splendid record as an exec
utive officer with high ideals of public duty.
OF all the candidates for mayor of Greater
New York he would undoubtedly have made
the best. He was chairman of the commits
sion which drafted the charter of Greater
New York and besides being familiar with
all its provisions and in sympathy with it's
spirit, he is a practical civil-service reform
err and possesses first-rate executive ability.
He is much too able and too good man
to have been set up as the leader in a hope
less fight only to be knocked down and run
over Had he been elected his ability,
coupled with the conspicuousness of the
office might have made him a presidential
possibility. and it is not unlikely that this
had something to do with his accepting the
nomination. Everybody who was not in the
fight saw from the first that, under the cir
cumstances, General Tracy could not posi-
bly, be elected, but he seemed to be conf
dent of success and to grow more to the
very end of the campaign. Perhaps his men
tai vision was somewhat dazzled by the
glittering prize he had been led to believe
lay beyond the mayoralty. 1t would not be
the first time that a strong mans judgment
has been warped by the same cause. Mr..
Plat knows human nature and he knows
politics. Some have wondered how he sue
ceeded in inducing such a man as General
Tracy to head his forlorn hope. If he
pointed to the White House in the distance
and promised to put General Tracy there
have been a potent appeal. But Mr.. Platt
could not deliver the goods, and the first
stipulation in the contract having failed it
all fails. A good man has suffered disas-
trous defeat, and General Tracy's pleasant
dream of the presidency has vanished into
thin air. BY his defeat the country may
have lost good President, but his defeat
was predestined and regrets are vain.

mitigated by the announcement that the
coating can be scaled off and the bloom of
youth given by the daily application of
powerful current of electricity. The man or
woman who wants to free his or her skin
from microbes has only to sit in Mr.. Tesla's
chair and have the current turned on, but
the thought is too suggestive of electrocu-
ton to be agreeable. However, if the scien-
fist has really discovered a way TO have
baby complexion, free from wrinkles and
signs of age, he will have no lack of patrons
willing to take their chances of finding the
current too strong and losing life as well
as microbes.

There is one thing the Republican party
must, and perhaps win eventually learn to
do. and that is to get out of the habit of
banding together about once every ten
years or so and winning everything in sight
of into little 'I-did-it-myseIf' groups and
doing all in their power to lose every cleo
ton for another decade. There is no valid
excuse for their losing single national
election, and none worthy of recognition for
their losing State like Ohio or New York
mo. nor for losing Indiana

been provided for them and a cinemato-

day before the election might properly be
placed in scrap-book of the humors of
politics. The New York Sun quoted Gen.

Tracy, that the decision is in his favor"
Mr.. Platt and Mr.. Quigg, his chief lieu
tenant, said: Mr. Tracy is a sure winner"

said: I'VE believe Mr.. Low will be elected
by a large majority" The New York Trib-
une was confident that nothing could de-
feat Mr.. Low except Republicans voting
for the Republican candidate. The Tam
many leaders claimed to have the whole
field on the run, and they were nearer
right than any of the rest.
