THE MORAL QUESTION.

Whatever the result of today's vote may be
In this city thoughtful and intelligent people
who make up the constituency OF The Tribune
cannot have failed to be impressed with the fact
that the moral forces of the community. the
good citizenship. the influence of clergymen
and professional men of high repute have been
overwhelmingly for Seth Low and the move
ment which he represents.
The tight which he has led against municipal
corruption has not been merely or mainly po-
ltica but moral in its scope II appealed to
the best instincts of the best classes of our
people And it aroused all the demOniac bit,

classes of our people. Everybody who wants
liberty TO do wrong has been Seth Lows

on the vice of others has been his antagonist

THE CLIU4N or IWPTDENfE

In his final manifesto promulgated yesterday
afternoon from Tammany Hall. John e. Sh""-
han SAYS: The Democratic party in this con
test has been arraycd against the party who
"believe that the masses Of the people should
have no voice in the selection of their ON

PARTY RESPONSIBILITY.

According to the Platt-Quigg boilers. no can
didate is fit 10 be supported by the people for

vouched for by one of the regular party or
sanizatons Better" said Quigg's predecessor

"many man. than man responsible To no party
"and with no party behind him" That is the
creed of that faction to-day, wherefore since
they know they cannot elect Tracy. they pre-
fer Van Wyck 20 any other. and are credibly re-
ported TO I've planning 10 cast the boiling ma
chine" Republican vote for him.
Well let us see what party responsibility
amounts to and what assurance Of good gov
eminent there is in the simple fact that man
has party behind him. William NJ. Tweed
was a straight party man. He was RESPONSE
bic to the Democratic party. He had Tammany
Hall behind him. What did that fact profit the
.ity? Hugh Grant and Thomas Gilroy We're
responsible 10 the same party and had it be-
hind them. Did that prevent the city from
being misgoverned. piundered and debauched?
John Y. McKane was responsible 10 a party,
and had a party behind him. That did not

Gibbs was and Is regular party man, re-

him Nevertheless he deliberately betrayed his
party, and was deservedly expelled from it
therefor. Are these and innumerable other ex-
amples of party responsibility calculated 10
commend it to the public as the supreme quail
fcation for office?
The party does not give bond for its cand-
dates good behavior. II he turns out to be
scoundrel no indemnity can be collected from

public is in its platform Of principles But in

BE TRUE TO REPUBLIC4NISM.

1t is Of the highest Importance that all Re-
pubicans and all believers in sound money and
all advocates Of non-partisanship in municipal
government should vote for the Republican
State ticket. William J. Wallace, the Republ-
can candidate for Chief Judge Of the Court Of
Appeals has an enviable record as an able
and impartial jurist Of long experience He
represents conservative ideas Of government
and against him are arrayed the forces of
Organism The only way to repeat last years
victory for sound money is to give him plu
rality that will bear comparison with the Nc
Kinley vote. His triumphant election will be
notice to the country that New-York still
stands by its convictions Of year ago.
But not only for the sake of beating BRYAN
ism, but also to vindicate municipal non parti-
sanship. 1t Is necessary to give Judge Wallace
a rousing plurality. The machine men say
that they cannot cOncede municipal indepen-
dence lest it ruin the party in State and Nation
