A general review Of the result OF the
late elections shows that the republic
ans have well withstood the backward
swing of the pendulum which always
follows presidential victory.
Considerable interest has been
awakened in the New York, Ohio and /
Maryland elections, and the results are
interesting. In New York the element
In favor Of reform and good govern
ment made a sturdy fight, but was over
whelmed by the solid forces operating
under the Tammany machine. The con-
scauence Is that the first mayor or
4 Greater New York, the second city IN
the world, is regular democrat,
pledged TO anti-reform and greater per-
\ sonal liberty.
In Ohio the fight was not less in
teresting nor less fiercely waged. Is
sues were early in the game almost
entirely dropped, and the fight then
became purely personal. Everything
which could be raked up about the
candidates and everything which they
had ever said or done was brought out
In the garish light of the campaign
until the daily programme amounted
10 nothing more nor less than the APP
pearance OF pages of sworn charges
and statements. to be followed by ms
many and vigorous sworn denials. The
result. however, favored the republic
ans. and a republican governor was re-
elected and n republican legislature
elected. insuring the return of a repub-
lican TO the United States senate
