Hundreds Of government EN-
ployes, of whom the most dis
tinguished is the President, have
returned from the various states
where they went to vote and the
echoes of Tuesdays elections had
not died away when those return
ing from New York brought news
OF a conference between Hon.
David b. Hill and a delegation
from the five burroughs of Greater
New York, with John G. Sheehan,
at its head. The Democrats here
say that i'll the triumph of victory
over Richard Croker and Edward
Murphy, who was defeated i'll the
mayoralty race in Troy. n. y,
Mr.. Hill will be content to let by
cones be bygones and forget all
the snubs he has received in times
past. 1t is confidently predicted
that Mr.. Hill will be a factor in
the next national Democratic con
ventiOn.
1t is evident that Mr.. Low, who
was elected on a decidedly hetro-
geneous platform, will have little
chance of reelection. irrespective
OF the kind OF government he gives
the city. 1t is only on rare oc
caSsion that the people of New
York will make sufficient eXertion
To accomplish the defeat of the
disciplined army OF Fanny Hall,
aud it is predicted that TammaDy
will be heard from two years
hence
President Roosevelt is receiv-
ing some very candid advice these
days. Immediately they got the
election off their hands, Senator
Hanna, General Grosyenor, Hon.
Serano Il. Payne, Gov. Stone, OF
Pennsylvania, and many others
came to Washington to lay down
the law in regard TO reciprocity and
tariff legislation. All of these
gentlemen are frank to say that
they are absolutely opposed to all
tanli revision. They believe, or
claim to believe, that the few Re
publican gains in. the election
just past indicate that the people
are entirely satisfied with things
as they are and that they desire
the Republican party to make no
changes. Even Gen. GrOsvenOr
makes this SpeciouS argument,
completely ignoring the fact that
the Ohio platfe0m positively
promised legislation which would
relieve the people of the present
oppression of the trusts, and that
the entire campaign that led to
the election OF GOV. Nash was
based on promises OF similar legls-
latlOn.
AS was to be expected, the Re
publlcans are all crying fraud
with regard To the Maryland cleo
ton, undoubtedly aetuated more
from their dread of the return of
Arthur +. German To the Senate,
than from any disappointment
that the state did not give their
party majority. As matter of
fact there were some errors that
crept into the ballots of a few dis
ticts, but the sentiment of the
state is far too pronounced to per
NIT of any doubt as to the real
wishes of the people.
President Roosevelt east "a bomb
into the Republicans ranks this
week when he named Robert q.
Houston for the Collectorship of
the port OF Wilmington. This is
the most lucrative appointment in
the state of Delaware and its con
troll was practical essential to the
supremacy of Mr.. j. Edward Ad.
dicks "Gas Addicks" as he is
commonly known. Addicks has
exerted sufficient influence in the
Delaware legislation to prevent
the selection OF United States
Senator and has made strenuous
