It lost in 1896 and that the democratic
1t was year ago.
With these differences so clear and log
cal it will be the worst folly for demo-
Gratis to continue their chickering's aud at
tacks upon each other.
Get together" should be the democratic
cry from now on necessarily until 1900,
and by getting together the democracy can
make sure glorious victory. A spirit OF
concession and fraternity should prevail
among democrats of all shades Of opinion.
An honest desire for the restoration Of
democratic harmony should be cherished
and encouraged and II that is done we
shall see in 1893 and in 1900 solid and
invlncible phalanx of democrats move to
victory.

FOREIGN PRESS OPINIONS.-O
esteemed contemporaries, the Lon
don newspapers. are very much concerned
over the election in Greater New York, and
they depore the fact that Tammany has
been successful. Croker and Crokerism is
denounced and reviled in unmeasured
terms and with uncommon virulence. Per.
haps Croker Is no saint, and certainly
Tammany Is not sweet geranium in all
things, but 1t Is not clear that London ed
1tors have any business to criticise. Tam
many is the democratic party OF the Sec
ond largest city in the world. Some bad
men belong to Tammany, no doubt, bad
men are in all large organizations but OF
the approach to quarter OF million
votes cast for Judge Van Wyck certainly
they We're not all bad. To denounce Tam
many is to denounce the citizenry of New
York. the people of the Empire City We
protest that this Is unjust. New Workers
have their faults, but will compare favor
ably with the citizens of London town OF
any other city in the world. 1t Is natural
enough for -expatriated migrate like
Astor to spew his foul language over the
people OF what was once his home, but
when the press of London unanimously as
sails the characters OF whole people it In
time halt is called. No matter what
Croker is, he has proven himself to be a
masterful politician. an invincble leader
and wonderful organizer. He managed
his campaign with superb skill and he
won signal victory. II the people of New
york did not indorse Croker and Tammany
they would not have voted for the Tam
many ticket Since they indorse Croker
and Tammany it is nobodys business but
their own.
