A Non-Partisan Administration Of
New York.
The circumstance that more than
four-ffths Of the ballots cast for the
late Fusion ticket were marked in the
Republican column Is OF no political
significance, except az II suggests that
q distinctively reform party is unneces-
sary a. q means to non-partisan munich
pal government.
The number OF votes cast under the
Republican emblem in the municipal
campaign 80 far outran the usual vote OF
that party in the city Of New York when
there is anything like a square partisan
division that 1t indicated very obviously
q large addition from Democratic
sources. The tickets put up by the
Republicans, the Citizens Union and
the Greater New York Democracy
being identical. a great part OF tho
Democrats who voted for those can
didatss seem to have preferred to put
their mark under the Republican en-
blem In the FIRST column as a mere matter
Of convenience. The votes In the Citi-
zsns' Union and the boiling D~emocracy's
columns were relatively few. The great
volume in the Republican column proved
only that the support Of the Fusion
ticket by that party was substantially
unanimous. though IL suggested also,
even after making due allowance for
the strictly Democratic votes included
in Il, that tho growth Of Republican
sentiment In New York demonstrated
in the elections Of 1895 and 1900 has not
yet been lost.
The number OF votes cast directly by
the Greater New York Democi acy rs
organized by Mr.. SHERHAN was small
actually, recalling in it's volume the
reduced strength OF the old County
Democracy at the time when that Dem
ocratio faction in opposition to Tam
| many Hall was passing out OF political
| consideration. Mr.. SHEKHAN's organ
~ization, however. polled enough votes
| 10 form the nucleus OF a Democratic
| opposition which possibly may be made
| powerful in q future campaign. II
seems TO be demonstrated now that
| Mr.. CROKER will continue to be the leader
OF Tammany. Signs Of rebellion against
his domination which were expected 10
appear Immediately after the election
have not shown themselves. So far,
his authority seems 10 remain undls-
puted, at least openly; for the reason,
probably, that no other leader who
could keep Tammsny together 80 COM
pactly 10 available. His continued
leadership OF Tammany, however, may
insure the perpetuation OF Mr.. SHEE-
HANS organization. for its special in
~spiration wa resentment OF the DONNA
ton OF MIR. CROKER. who had driven from
Tammany some Of the ablest politician;
formerly associated with him. These
men. thus excluded by him from all par
tioipation In the Democratic politics oI
New York and stripped Of influence Ia
their party, may seek 20 regain theli
prominence by helping TO build uI
Mr.. sHEEBAs's opposition A. a means 81
forcing their return 10 power IN Tam
many Hall.
