BOSTON GOES DEMOCRATIC.

The Democrats completely overwheIm
ed the Republicans in the city election in
Boston on Tuesday, Gen. Patrick A. Col
Inns being elected over Mayor Thomas N
Hart by nearly 10000, the largest plurali
ty in a quarter of Il century.
The Democrats likewise obtained con.
troll of both branches of the city govern
ment, elected their street commissioner
Salem d. Charles, and practically all their
candidates for the school commission. As
usual, the city voted strongly in favor of
license
The result Of the canvass was as fully as
much surprise to the Democrats as to
their opponents. The most sangune
Democratic prophet last night claimed on
ly 1000, vet this plurality was nearly tri-
pied. Two years ago Mayor Hart de
feated Gen. Collins by 1881 votes and
polled something over 10000. This year
the total Republican vote for mayor was
a trifle over $4,000, the smallest given a
party candidate for mayor since 1898, de-
spite registration almost so per cent
larger than then. Yet Gen. Collins re-
ceived over $4,000 votes, the largest in
the history of the city, and he carried IS
of the % wards
b The Republican leaders were inclined
to blame the weather, but this does not
account for the tremendous gains made
by the Democrats in Republican wards
Naturally there was great excitement in
the close wards, and in South Boston two
prominent Republican politicians were
arrested on suspicion of having obtained
repeaters. This, however, was the only
unfortunate feature of the day.
Massachusetts Republicans were no,
quite as successful in the other city eiec-
tions held Tuesday, as they We're in the
fourteen held last week, for, although
they carried eleven to the Democrats
four, the other three being non partisan
contests. three Republican mayors were
defeated In Worcester, Mayor O'Con-
nell, Democrat, Was defeated. Il Wn-.
burn, Mayor Feeney defeated the pres
ent mayor. ana the city changed from 40
license to license. In Chelsea, where the
Republicans swept the city, there was
chan &c from no license to license for the
first time in eleven years. In Ncwburry-
port. where license had firm I'D for
twenty years, the city voted no by over
800 majority.
One of the stubborn contests was in
Salem, where Mayor Huley's administra-
lion was Endorsed by the vote, although it
had been tiercely criticised. The MAORI
ty against license was reduced from 55S
last year to IS this year. There was like
wise warm contest in Cambridge. The
Democrats succeeded there in electing
John II. McNamee over Mayor Dickinson
by 1875. -

Representative Wachter, of Mary
land, says the Alexandria "Gazette,"
thinks of introducing joint resolution
prohibiting in future the annual foot
ball game between the cadets of West
Point and those of Annapolis. He
cbaracterizes foot ball as more brutal
than prize fighting and more danger
Gus TO life and limb. And the game as
now played is just as Mr.. Wachter de-
scribes it, and for tl.is very reason has
it become so popular that men and
women travel miles and pay entrance
fees to see the "encountcrs' just as
they did in the days of Rome to see
the gladiators. During the season
just closed over one hundred young
men were killed in ''playing' at foot
ball, while tue number of injured ran
up into thousands. But the tendency
of tue age is toward excess, and now
nothing in moderation satisfies the
masses Of the people.

as thrcalt ninsly as Frenchman uses

man claims the honor of originating
this method of settling disputes and
determining party standing. When
the. question arose as to which Senator
bad the confidence of the South Caro-
lima voters both sent their resignation
to the Gov, rnor, while the coun ~
waited hreathlessly for the result.
Governor insolvency had no idea OF
seeing his State fought over in double
contest for reelection and decided that
he had no power to accept their resig-
nations. Those documents were care
fully returned by tue United States
mail, but they were not to rest in
peace. Each Senator appears to carry
his resignation around in his hip
pocket, like a six shooter: and pull it
out whenev yer there is a sign of trou-
ble. Whether Mr.. Tiilman speaks at
Edgetield or in the Senate Chamber
he brandishes his resignation like a
weapon of war. When Mr. McLaurin
addresses a gathering of commercial
expansionists in New York, and when
he speaks to his own admiring TO-
lowing at Spartanburg, he lays his
resignation on the table as a prelimi-
nary remark.
But Mr.. Tillman has violated the
rules of the game by actually offering
TO tender his resignation to the Presi-
dent of the Senate and challenging Mr..
McLaurin TO follow his example. As
Mr.. Tillrnan adjudges himself proprie-
tor Of the South Carolina Legislature
be probably thinks he is entirely safe.
in taking this step. Mr.. McLaurin,
who is becoming known as South Caro-
lima "Scnatorat-L Large" ard is recon-
mcnd,d to fame as the leader of the
Commercial South, does not seem
anxious to Gcfi the crown Of laurel and
wage war for Endorsement. He very
properly thinks his colleague has eon.
a step too far.
In Offering actually to tender Lis
resignation Senator Tillman has almost
spoiled the Baltimore Sun.

DEMOCRATsIN CONFERENCE

One Of the series of conferences
which ex-senator German will hold
with the Democratic Senators and
Delegates, as well as city and State
leaders, took place Wednesday after
noon at the Hotel Rennert, which will
be Mr.. Germans headquarters during
the winter, say the Baltimore "Sun."
Those who gathered there were Gov
ernor Smith, Chairman Murray Van
diver. Of the Democratic State Cen
trail Committee; State Senator John
p. Moore, of Worcester county; DR..
George Wells, OF Anne Arundel coun-
ty; State Senator Johnnie E. Beas-
man, Of Carroll county, and others.
1t was stated that the question of
the methods to be pursued in the Dem
ocratic Legislative contests was the
chief subject of consideration. These
contests, it is said, will be pushed to
a finish and will not be allowed to
drop.
The Speakership of the House Of
Delegates, it is authoritatively stated,
has not Leen settled, although the in
dications are that Mr.. Noble l.. Mitch
ell, of Hartford county. will be tie
man. Mr.. Isaac Lobe Straus is by no
means out Of the fight, however, and
will remain candidate until the eau
Gus. 1t Is probable there will be no
preliminary conference in Baltimore of
the Delegates before the opening Of
the session.
