Concerning the Weather.

q u THE TIME, this was put
~ into type the probabilities
4. ~ pointed TO less favorable
weather for election day
than we have had for the past few
weeks. BY the time these words reach
the subscribers eyes. the weather
chances will be known definitely. Just
a word apropos.
Rain aud storm on election day are
commonly believed to be Democratic
weather. Observation extended over
many campaigns tends to confirm that
on blustery days IL is easier for the
Democracy to get its vote out than for
Repubicanism. That is because Demo-
Gratis are usually out of power and
office. and therefore very hungry and
very eager to get in again, whereas
Republicans, being in. are prone to
over confidence or downright lazness.
This should not he. and today is
good time for Republicans to make a
precedent that will forever dispel this
belief. They owe it to their own inter-
ests as citicHns. TO their political neigh
borS and associates, and to the gov
crnment, to go to the polls early today
and not only vote right but also TO use
their best influence 10 induce others TO
vote for the splendid Republican ticket.

against Tammany Hall in
the present campaign in
New York city is that Tammhny rule
means the stimulation of vice to swell
Tammany's pocket. 1t has been shown
very plainly that the government of
Gotham a $ now conducted is in league
with gambling and prostitution: that it
fosters these evils for what it can make
out of them and that effective steps
toward social Improvement require the
dissolutior of this Illicit union.
But it is doubtful If the moral side Of
the case against Tammany makes half
as powerful an appeal to the average
New York voter as the financial side.
The average New Yorker il not an es-
pecially pious or moral being; vice does
not shock him. for it is one of his chief
industries. Tie probabilities are that
a majority of the voting residents of
the borough of Manhattan derive in
whole or part their livelihood from
