THE RECENT ELECTIONS


None of the newspapers that have so
eabontely discussed the recent municipal
elections in the West have shown more sense
than the New York Sun. 1t exposes the utter
ridiculousDess Of heplding these anti Repub-
lican majorties as popular condemnation Of
an administration that has been in power
little more than a month, or as a revolt
against a tariff bill that has not yet been
enacted. The American people may be un-
settled in their political convictions at times,
aud restive under adverse conditions but in
none of the great cities are they such fools
as they are adjudged by some of the news
papers of the country, when they call the re-
suit Of these Western municipal elections a
popular revolt against the party, or the policy
Of the party, that assumed the reins of
government little more than month ago
The contests preceding the elections in
Chicago, Cincinnati, Cleveland and Detroit
attracted little attention outside Of those
cities No general or national political
significance attached to them.
Now that the solid facts concerning
these elections. and the causes leading
up to the results aro becoming known, it
only becomes more clearly and fully ap-
parent they had not the slightest bearing on
any national issue or policy or measure.
Analyze the case of Chicago, where plurality
of 55, 900 for Mckinley was followed by a
plurality of $1,000 for the Democratic candi-
date for mayor, and what is developed 2
Simply that the Republicans had forced upon
them by am arbitrary local machine a
candidate they did not want; a candidate
who represented methods aud a policy in
municipal government that was inimical to
the interests of the people and destructive Of
honesty, economy and purity. An indepeu-
dent Republican candidate was placed in the
field who received more votes than the
regular. The attempt Of this same machine
a few months ago, to force the election of one
Of the corrupt gang Of aldermen as United
States Senator contributed more than any
thing else to the triumph of the Democratic
candidate for mayor. The Republican ma
chine bosses Of Chicago had gone too far, and
the people broke their power. Such are the
solid facts Of the Chicago revolution"
Ia Cincinnati the 'rcyolt' had for its
object the overthrow of what is known as
the Boss Cox machine" The people were
determined to throw of the yoke under
which they have chafed They could do il
only by defeating the candidate Of the boss.
In Detroit, Governor Piugree had made him
self offensive by his dictatorial methods and
one man power tyranny and the people de-
termned to give him setback. In none Of
these municipal contests was Republican
policy or national issues discussed or con-
sidered
