THE MENACE OF TAMMANY.

| n,ennhIicans have been congratulatng them
kelyes in the last three years that they We're
Starving the Tammany Tiger TO death. This
rear they are confronted with the question
whether they will complete the destruction of
4he famished beast or will save his life by sup
plyins him again with, food and permitting him
once more to grow tong and become men
ace to Republican Supremacy In the State and
Nation.
Suppose, for the sake Of argument. that Mr..
Lows election would involve the Republican
organization In all the troubles that some lead
ers profess to fear. The Republican organiza-
ZION has surrendered to the pressure or public
opinion before Its leaders made war on Mt
mckinley last year, and burned their bridges
behind them far more completely than they
have done now, but they managed TO swim back
or founder back or float back on the tide OF
Anti-anarchy sentiment. They were just as
much opposed to Mr.. Strong up to the last min
aate in 1894 as they are now opposed to Mr..
Low. They have lived under reform Mayor
already, and, though they did not get all they
WANTED. they were we'll enough satisfied to
Favor continuance of the same rule. There is
not the slightest reason to suppose that Mr.. Low
would maintain an antagonstic attitude to the
1;epubIican organization If he were Mayor. His
,latform binds him not to let any partisan con-
Alteration take precedence Of the city's inter
est. but that does not In the least compel him to
aurn deaf ear to any request of Republican
icader which is not opposed to the welfare Of
me CITY: nor has Mr.. Low manifested the slight
est disposition to use the Office to annoy or en-
barrass the organization leaders. They would
nrobablt; find him a reasonable person, who
would in no way block their efforts to maintain
a highly respectable and efficient organization
Tor the support Of Republican principles. Yet
nuppose that he did sympathize with the most
exaggerated Mugwump dislike Of Republican
asm and conducted for four years government
MT discriminated against the Republicans and
from which the organization could got no smell
az patronage, what would be the strength OF
the organization itself at the end Of four years
n compared with its strength after four years
of renewed Tammany rule? That is the Ques-
tio& which for practical politicians must take
neecs6Ancs Of oil considerations of resentment
or disgust at conditions which make them feel
With Mr. Quisg that they would "as soon con-
Ter With Croker and Shsehan" as with the Cit
lxeus Union.
Il Z well-understood tact that Tammany Is

one Of those organizations which cannot keep
up its strength except when in office. rover
IS a danger and opposition cause OF CONSOLE
daton with most parties. With Tammany the
reverse is trle. A few years ago 1t had grown
so strong as to dominate the State. -Four years
more Of power would make 1t able TO defy the
Republicans of the city for years TO come ana
make the Republican chances Of carrying the
State extremely small. The Mayor elected this
year will hold over the next Presidential cleo
ton, and with Tammany In office the electoral
votes of New-YOrk would be largely at Its mercy.
The Governorship year hence would be likely
to fall into its hands, and 1t would have great
opportunities to gain Legislature and retain
Democratic Senator at Washington. Under such
circumstances It would be better for the Repub-
lican organization leaders, supposing them TO
be, of course, incapable Of treacherous and cor
rupt dealings with Tammany. to put In ONCE
an anti-Tammany Mayor, even If he were 10
