Triumphant There as Csual.
To THE EDITOR OF THE sus - Sir: Your
readers have probably noticed that 10 the great
Democratic victory OF yesterday there was one
district and one alone. which was an exception
to the general collapse.
/ refer to the Twenty-hrst district, where the
best figures obtainable at this writing give
Edward II. Fallous 1910 plurality over James
+. Court, Tammany. and Armitags Mathews
plurality Of 45l over DR.. Z. Styles Potter. the
Tammany candidate.
i have no desire to drn " attention to these
facts for the purpose OF obtaining commenda-
ton for the Republican organization In the
Twsnty-nrst district, but sim ply with the idea
that the character OF the cam paiGn which we
carried on In the Twsnty-hrst district and the
results which We achieved by It. may have some
significance for real Republicans in every A.
semby district In this city.
The best figures obtainabls show that out
side the Twenty-nrst district the combined
maioritles OF the Republican Assem- blymeu
elected from the county OF New York amount
ed to l,i62, Mr., Faiows's majority 10 1870.
Roossv.t's majority in the distrie, was 1900.
From this i Win he seen that We hav. carried

In view Of these facts. I do not think II inn

Republicans OF the other DISTRICTS in the city 10
the fact that the methods which have been

R"puh lean organization In our district are
