Unusually Severe in Commenting on Tam
many's Success.
The following are number Of foreign
newspaper comments on the success Of
the Tiger in Greater New. York:
Z London Sun: "The dog returned to
his vomit'' is the text we recommend pi-
GUS New York to hang on its parlor walls.
The chief city of great people must
see its municipal Offices filled with men
who should be filling cells in the peni-
tentiary. New York has fallen like rot
ten fruit into the bands of the boodlers; (;
but the New Workers may console them
selves with saying chat every city, as ev-
cry land, has the government it deserves.
The St. James Gazette ,hi,,ks the
Americans s'allow themselves u be dom
mated by a clique whose leading mem-
bers would on the European side of the
Atlantic sooner or later find themselves
lnthe criminal dock" -
Commenting on the allegations that
the "best classes hold aloof from poll
tics, the Globe says: s'That large num-
bers OF decent, sensible people are utter
ly without sympathy for the brusquerie
of Olney and the tatuitles Of Sherman,
we all ll'know, but unhappily they utterly
fail to make their voices heard above the
din of the New York slums."
The Pail Mall Gazette says: ssSuch an
organization as Tammany could not ex-
list in London. A man or an organiza-
ton once proven guilty of corruption
could never return to power. Tamma-
ny, under the leadership of Croker, has
done SO in manner which must afford
food for serious thought, even in q city
so accustomed to bad government as
New York" s..:
The Berlin Tageblatt says the victory
in New York will have q sinister effect
throughout tie country;$ for 1t means
that the awakening desire for municipal
mform has received terrific setback.
The Vossische Zeitung says that sit
cannot be denied that corruption has
tfiumphed."
The National Zeitung says: ..The fail
ure to defeat Tammany is a point scored
against the Washington administration .
The Paris Temps, in its comments on
the Greater New York municipal cleo
tion, says the result of the election is de-
plorable for New York and the cause Of
democracy.
The Journal des Debats Gays that once
again is displayed the.incapaeity of hon
est citizens Of New York to organize and
shake of the dominion of the political
intriguers who exploit and dishonor
municipal politics.
The Westminster Gazette in its com.
ments on the same subject, remarks that
the victory for unprihciple government
obtained BY unprincipal methods, is q
grave Disappointment to all believing
in free institutions. .
The Telegraph isays that Mr.. Croker
may sleep better, unhaunted by dreams
of indictments and: views of the peniten-
.tiary. The citizens union is beaten, but
its defeat is Of the nature that promises
5yictery in the not very remote future.
The London Times says the victory Of
Tammany must be considered in connec-
tion with the great reaction Of public
opinion against McKinleylsm. Disap-
pointment at the non realization Of the
promises Of McKialey's inaugural mes
sage had q decided influence Oh the vot-
ing. Hitherto New York, however dis
creditablJ its municipal affairs have been
managed, has generally thrown is weight
in national politics o. the side OF honest
money and freedom of trade, but il is
not unlikely that Croker viii nov %
boldly fer. an IN alliance with populism,
|Ilyerlsm and all the other forms Of 70
