Philadelphia Record: New York is a
political firt. Neither of the great par
ties is ever quite sure of her favor.
There is one great advantage in this
uncertainty. The parties are driven to
the necessity Of putting the best foot
forward. This necessity gave the state
to Roosevelt for governor, and it is
likely to compel the Democrats to nom
mate Comptroller COler for governor

The Rochester Herald recalls the fact
that, although McKinley's popular ma
jority in 1896 was col. .S54 and his elec-
toral majority was 95. a change of less
than 10000 votes would have elected
Bryan. Here is the proof: California
was carried for Mckinley by 1922; Del
aware by 3.773; Kentucky by PSI: Ore
gon by 2.040; West Virginia by 2,2s7 /;
and Indiana by 1871. These six states
have 80 electrical votes, which added to
the 176 which Mr.. Bryan received, would
have given him 225. A change of 49, 1856
votes in the states named would have
given Bryan their electoral votes.

acres Of trees and streaks running

In other places are great funnel
