THE MEASURE OF VICTORY
-Four Years After a Victory That
Must be Called Abnormal the
Republican Party Has Ach-
ieved an Even Greater
Triumph.
THE MEASURE OF VICTORY
From the New York Sun.

A iom lhS &NtN ADih ''NH'
Four years after a victory that must
be called abnormal the Republican party
has achieved an even greater triumph.
William Mckinley is reelected by
greater Electoral majority than he re-
ceived four years ago.
The Republican ajolity in the Senate
has been increased and so has the ma
jority in the House of Representatives.
While some of the enormous Repubil-
can majorities in the various States
have declined, others have grown i'm
mensly In no single State, on the other
hand, except in Georgia, where the polti
cal conditions are not the same as ia or
binary States, has the Bryan majority,
iere it existed, not declined
The Republicans have carried more
les than they carried in 1896 Bryan
:. -, carried fewer States.
robably the diminished majority in
publican States will be explained by
,le story of -,ew York. Although Nc
Ginley's majority has shrunk from 26S,-
900 to $4,000, q difference of 125,000. the
Republican strength iii the Empire State
shows no material decline. The vote for
Mckinley throughout the State whether
in the counties outside New York in
New York county, or in Kings, was ap-
proXimateiy the Samp in 1900 as il was
four years ago. For example, although
Roosevelt in 1898 received only 112.00O
votes i'll New York county, the ltepuhli-
can vote for Mckinley rose On Tuesday
to over 10000, or within less than 5000
of what il had hcen III he test Of 1896.
ln Kings the Mckinley vote was the
same as in 1896. But in Kings the
Bryan vote rose S1,00O, and in New York
it rose nearly $4,000.
1t was the drifting back of Democratic
voters who refused to support Bryan's
first candidacy, and who took up their
partisanship again mainly, we believe,
because they thought that, while their
votes might possibly be Of some service
in the future, they would do no harm in
the present.
The hall in the Republican majority in
New York, or in any other State is no
cloud upon the Republican triumph, and
no sign of diminished confidence in the
Republican party.

DEFEATED THE TICK E'p.
From Daily Republican.


SUSSEX county Is disgrace 10 Il civil
hzed community. A handful of men call
ing themselves Republicans carried out
their threat and succeeded in defeating
the Republican ticket. Their showing
was insignificant, but enough to defeat
the party. We suppose they think they
have done something wonderful. They
have dug their political graves for all
time in Delaware, The electors received
Il majority of over 3,500 while the Cover
nor received over 1900 ma ajority. Every
candidate on the Republican ticket was
elected in New Castle county, while the
reverse was the fate of the Republican

not agree on the Legislators. Suppose
the New Castle county Republicans had
made such FOOLS of themselves. the Dcnl-
acrats would have Jared just that much
better in the political cyclone which
struck Delaware last Tuesday. But bet
ter counsel prevailed and the conScQtl-
ence is that even the Levy Court has

1t is hoped that if the legislature is
Republican, the obstructionists in City

Van NESS CASE
Injunction Refused by Judge
RoWeII
IMPORTANT DECISIONS
In a Case Involving the Ver<
mont Investment Co.. and
Hotel Owners

Burlington, April 3.-Chancellor j.
W. Rowell filed his decision in the
case of the State VS.. Van Ness House,
with the clerk of the county court yes
terdav. The decision Overrules the
motion, and the injunction is denied.
This dlsposes of case concerning
which there has been much comment
on account of some interesting fea-
lures outside the fact that the pro-
prietOr of the hotel is well known
throughout, this and other states. The
petition for an injunction was made by
States Attorney Brown last fall dur
ing the period when injunctions were
the order of the day. 1t grew out of
the banquet of the Vermont Fish and
Game League at the hotel, at which
Bass ale was served at each plate.
The claim made in defence was that
the ale was furnished without the con-
ScnU or knOWleuge OF une proprietor.
->A\ruling was also received from the
supreme court in the case of Willis Y.
Farr VS.. the estate Of DR.. George G.
Briggs, an action brought to recover
from the estate on the ground that
the deceased was trustee of the Yer

GERMANY IN A
FINANCIAL CRISIS

NEW YORK, Dec. ia dispatch to
the Journal and Advertiser from Berlin
says: The pessimistic speech of Baron
Won Fleischmann, Secretary of the
Imperial Treasury, in the Reichstag on
Monday, in which he told the country
to prepare for period of hard times.
as the financial situation was gloomy,
has created a sensation in the money
market. There has been such a slump
in the price of mortgage bonds that un-
less public confidence is restored, the
economic ability Of Germany will be i'm
periled. some banks and bankers may
find themselves in serious difficulties
and financial crisis of unparalleled
gravity may be precipitated in Berlin.
The first Preussische Hypothek Bank
and the Deutsche Grunschuld Bank are
unable to meet the strain and the Gov
ernment has appointed receivers in both
cases. To avert a crash the Deutsche
Bank and some other houses have form
ed a committee for the protection of
bondholders and are advancing funds
in payment of interest due.

His Shortage O,OOO.

CINCINNATI, Dec. 13.-The shortage
of George r. Griffiths, deceased, clerk
years, is generally admitted to be $780,
900. Discrepancies between the annual
reports made to the state school COM
missioner by the county auditor and the
reports of receipts made by Griffiths to
the Board of Education show an addi-
tional shortage of $345,S27. Whether all
of this latter discrepancy represents
downright stealing or whether there
has been gross carelessness in book
keeping is a matter which is now en-
gaging the attention of expert account
ants who are at work on the formidable
array of books.
