TUESDAYS ELECTION.

aft airs alone. All the errors and mis-
takes made in the government of the
city would not have made so great a
change in the vote.
The truth is, that about year ago
new force appeared which almost be-
came dominant factor in the republi-
can party of this city and county. 1t
was surmised and not without good
cause, that the present city govern
ment had identified itself with this new
force and in fact furnished large part
ofits locomotion. That thought was gall
ing to the men of the old organization,
whose advice, they felt, was sighted,
who felt as if they were pushed aside in
the councils of their party by this new
force which attempted to shape state
politics, and this spring, with no state
or national election to come on for two
years, they took time by the forelock to
humble their aspiring opposition lead
ers in their own camp. That they did
so goes without saying, the old leaders
of the republican party looked as
pleased as the most rock rooted demo-
Gratis, as messenger after messenger re-
turned with reports of ever increasing
democratic majorities.
Let the new set of officials take warn
ing from that fact; these new friends
were friends only for this one particular
occasion; the new officers can do moth
ing to make them permanent friends;
but they can, by strict and impartial
attention to their duties, by treating all
men and all interests with equal fair
ness and by enlightened legislation for
the general welfare, oisarm just criti-
cism, and that is the only course which
is likely to make them and their party
permanent friends.
