MR. ODELL AND HIS CAMPAIGN

Mr. Odell has met the recent Democratic at
tempt TO injure his candidacy through a clumsy
forgery in a spirited and dignified manner
which rebounds to his credit and confirms the
impression made by his straightforward and
highly satisfactory declarations against Ramapo
that he is a man Of cool head, good sense and
the ability TO make a good Governor. He seems
10 be person not. TO be stampeded by either
friend or foe. He neither busters nor runs
away in the face of a difficulty. His word
appears 10 be something not given lightly or
impulsively, also something to be trusted when
once given; and both as a business man and
political manager he shows qualities Of execu-
tive ability and attention TO detail which would
be highly useful in the Governors office.
We have watched Mr.. Odel through the last
few months carefully and with agreeable dis
appointment II is a pleasure to take the oc-
casion Of his admirable bearing in face of this,
first real and significant attack which the
Democrats have been able TO make upon him
10 testify TO appreciating estimate Of his
capacity and power. Mr. Odeu was first intro
duced TO the public as merely an instrument Of
Mr. Platt and convenient deputy to carry out
his viii at Albany. A great many Republicans
IN common with The Tribune, as letters re-
ceived from various parts Of the State and pub
Hshed last summer showed, and as organization
leaders learned from some of their own advis-
ers, regretted TO see the Republican party in
this State representing TO the people merely the
personality and unpopular methods Of Mr. PIatt
The Tribune said so frankly, but at the same
time expressed the belief that Mr. OdelI had in
him the possibility Of making a good Governor.
If he would be Governor himself His conduct
during the campaign has strengthened that i'm
preston Of his ability. and rather increased the
hope that he VIII use it wisely Re is frankly
an organization politician and his frankness is
much more virtue than would be pretence If
something else without the reality thereof If
he viii be an organization man according 10
his own judgment which seems naturally liberal
and well balanced, he can serve the people and
the whole party well; and there are indications
that be is disposed TO act in obedience TO his own
self-reliant mind TO a much greater extent than
those who knew him only by reputation or
merely as an efficient party official had reason
TO expect.
We did not think that Mr.. OdelPs nomi-
nation. considering the light in which he has
New-York tribune., 1900-10-29

hitherto stood before the public, was wise
party move At another time it might have
had serious consequences, but Mr.. Odell has
been extremely fortunate in the circumstances
which have counterbalanced the disadvantage
Of local associations with the strength of the
National Republican party. In justice to him
it should be said that by his own con-
duct he has deserved this good fortune. His
opponents, though searching diligently, have
been unable to rake up a single thing discredit-
able IN his personal record. The worst they
could do to spring upon the public this
forged campaign circular, which proves
boomerang. Mr. Oden is better off for their ac-
tivity. If he conducts himself in the Executive
Chamber with the dignity, straightforwardness
and self-reliance which have marked his cam
paign, the people of New-York will support him
and honor him. The more he gives them
chance to know those qualities which it is now
seen he possesses the better they will like him.
