WAMs METHODS.

Henry Marks Says the Municipal
Offices of Greater New York Are to
BE Filled by Men Who Should lie
Filling Cells in the Penitentiary.
Evening News Remarks That
Croker Has Brought on His Tip.
The Globe Predicts That Shameless
Corruption Is to Rule Supreme.
London, Nov. S.-The elections In the
United States continue 20 overshadow all
the other news in the English newspapers.
The Sun Of this city, Of which newspa-
per Harry Marks has editorial control,
says: 1.-The dog returned to his vomit,"
is the text we recommend pious New York
to hang on parlor walls The chief city of
great people must see its municipal or
fees filed with men who should be filling
cells in the penitentiary. New York has
fallen like rotten fruit into the hands of
the boodlers; but New Workers may con-
sole themselves with saying that every
city, as every land, has the government it
deserves
The Evening News remarks: Croker
has brought off his tip and has won the
race, showing that he is more to be fear
ed in his natural arena of politics than on
the race course. The population of the
second greatest city In the world has
elected its ruler and the morning after
election the problems occupying his mind
did not relate to the government of the
city, but to squaring and rewardins his
supporters. The experiment of democracy
as seen in full growth in New York
seems to have Its drawbacks as its ad-
vantages."
The st. James Gazette says: ''The rea-
son Americans allow themselves to be
dominated by a clique, whose leading
members would, on this side of the At
lantic, sooner or later, find themselves in
the criminal DOCK is that American pol
iticians indulge in politics solely for what
they can make out of them, and until
America finds time to produce a class who
will give their time to public affairs, as
here, without expectation OF pecuniary
reward Tammany win continue it's victo-
ries IN New York"
The Globe says: when the fortunes of
the wigwam are In the ascendant shame
less corruption rules supreme. Judges
and police alike owe secret allegiance to
an authority with far greater powers of
making or marring their fortunes than
the government of the United States"
Sketching the history of the Tammany
Society, the Globe adds: when Croker
became boss il had regained much of its
lost influence. Croker is perhaps the most
notable Tammany product of our time.
A splendid organizer and an indomitable
worker, he possesses to marked degree
the taciturnlty and aloofness which made
Parnell so successful a leader. Steering
clear of the personal venalities of Tweed
Croker has revived the other traditions of
that worthy regime and has made Tam
many once more political engine of ..4e
first magnitude"
London, Nov. 4.-The Daily Telegraph
says: "Mr. Croker may sleep better, un-
haunted by the nightmare of indictments
and prospects of the penitentiary. 1t is
a great victory for the most corrupt Or
ganization In the world and we hesitate
to except even Turkey. But an analysis
of the figures and an examination of the
circumstances Of the election tend to show
that 1t belongs to that class of triumphs
on which Pyrrhus said Another such
victory and / am undone.'
'NThe election of Mr.. Low would have
been decisive. The election of Judge Van
Wyck is only an episode in the campaign
that Is just beginning. The citizens union
is indeed beaten, but its defeat is of the
nature that promises victory in the not
very remote future
With reference to Mr.. Croker's manifes-
to after the election, the Daily Telegraph's
editorial says How pleasantly these del
icate euphemisms will sound in the ears
of saloon-keepers and proprietors of dis
orderly houses"
The London Times says:
1.-THE republican cause has met with an
ominous disaster in every quarter. 1t was
permissible to hop year ago that Bryan
ism was not only defeated, but also disa-
bled. Unfortunately, it is impossible to
feel the same confidence now. 1t can
hardly be doubted that Organism will
raise its head again under its last cham
pion or under another. Before the next
President is elected there will be no lack
of material for agitation, as the Bryanites
profess to be free traders and are dissat-
isfied equally with the fiscal and financial
policy of the present administration. The
outlook is not very cheerful for either the
or political dealings with that country"
Berlin, Nov. 3.-The Tageblatt COM
menting on the New York election, de-
plores the victory of Tammany, as it
places the undesirable element of the Irish
on top, and fpncludes: "The victory in
Greater New York will have a sinister
effect throughout the United States. for
il means that an awakening desire for
municipal reform has received a terrific
set back"
Paris, Nov 3--The Journal des Desbats
says: "Once again is displayed the inca
pacity of the honest citizens of New York
TO organize and shake off the dominion of
the political intrigues who exploit and
dishonor municipal politics"
