Fair Tonight and Tomorrow.

Although the wind commenced to
blow in from the south this morning
with cutting tones, the exercise of blow
ing gradually increased it's temperature
and by o'clock this afternoon it had
succeeded in forcing the mercury as
high as so degrees. If the same wind
was not so particular about fiinging
the dust from the pavementS into peo-
pies faces, today would be rather an
enjoyable winter day. Fair weather
tonight and tomorrow, with warmer
weather tonight, is the prediction sent
out today by the weather bureau.

THE GREAT MUNICIPAL ELECTION

The most important item of news by
the Alameda is the decisive victory Of
van Wyck, Tammany candidate for
Mayor Of Greater New York, over Low
and Tracy AS we said, several days
ago, the betting men clearly showed
what the cool headed men thought
about the result.
The votes given for Mr.. Low and
General Tracy if combined, would
have defeated Tammany. But the Re-
publican leaders did not wish to de-
feat the "Wigwam." They preferred it's
success to that of the refOrmers under
Low, who if elected would have put
more morals into future politics than
the Republicans could stand. In 1898
the Republicans defeated Abram
Hewett for Mayor, for the same rea-
sons. Men say "the people want good
government" So they do, if they
think it is safe to have it. But the
average Republican is persuaded to
believe that the party organization is
of more value than good government.
He despises Tammany, but he loves
his own party. He is confused by the
arguments put before him, and belives
that he is forced to choose between
the two. Mr.. Platt, the Republican
boss" is clever man and an excel
lent politician, and representative
man. He stands for the average politi-
cal sentiment of his party as it is, and
not as it should or Ought" to be. He
is perfectly willing to improve his
methods and his morals, whenever the
party demands, but not before.
Mr.. Low, who Ought" to have been
elected stands for what fought" to be
but is not. He and his excellent assoc
iates are, after all, the educators of the
people, and they cannot eXpec. much
improvement at moments notice.
But by breaking into the ranks Of the
Republicans, by slowly drawing men
away from Tammany, by constant
preaching, they do educate and it is to
a purpose.
The Greater New York now begins
it's new municipal career on grand
scale. Tammany rules, but it repre-
sents the majority and this is in ac-
cordance with Democratic faith. There
will be more or less extravaganza, be-
cause the Republican leaders will be
taken care of and, for favors confer
red will bring the State legislature to
the enacting of laws which will bene-
fit Tammany. Tammany rule will con-
tinue until there is another upheaval,
which may not come for some years.
This great municipal election only
illustrates more forcibly than ever,
that government represents the aver
age man, and that no preaching or re
forming" will change these conditions.
