THE papers are making much ado
over the fact that Bryan ran so far
behind the State and local tickets in
New York, aud are charging "knif-
ing" upon the part of Croker and
his Democratic hosts. The same
charge might hold good in several
Virginia Congressional districts if
simply the face of the returns is
considered. Some Congressman may
be estopped through this Cause
from Boosting as to how much they
ran ahead of the national ticket. 1t
may be that neither conclusion-pop-
ularity Of the candidate or kni6ng
process--is correct, for, We learn,
that many ballots which were not
thrown out were still counted only
for Congressman, as the Presidential
tickets were so complicated that a
large percentage of the voters failed
to mark them correctly, and they
were lost to the Presidential candi-
dates.
