dietions made before the election
do not turn out anywhere near
right. This is the case with our
prophecy dis to Philadelphia and
Pennsylvania both Of which were
carried By the Machine Republi-
cans instead Of by the Union
party, III order to do this, how
ever, 1t was necessary to resort
to the0most open and bare faced
fraud and violence. So bold
were the repeaters and so fre-
quent their voting, that while
they were only paid fifty cents
for each time that they voted,
they were able to secure enough
money to be satisfied.
In New York, the best hopes
of the good citizens were fully
realized in the election of Seth
Low as Mayor of Greater New
York by a plurality of 29,864
votes, and of William Travers
Jerome as District Attorney of
the old city of New York, by a
plurality of Is, $50 votes, and by
the almost complete annihilation
of Tammany Hall so far as Office
holding is concerned. In addi-
tion to loss of power and pres
tige Tammany officials lost heav-
lily in the betting. Croker, Sui
livan, Fanell and Carroll are each
reported to have lost more than
S1GO, 900 and the total losses of
Tammany win probably exceed
81, ,O00, 900. They thought they
had it t'dead easy" but like some
other ''good things" it went
u
wrong.
In Maryland, the result is yet
in doubt, both Republicans and
Democrats claiming a majority
of the Legislature on joint ballot.
Fraud was rampant on the East
ern Shore in particular, all of
the election officers being Demo-
Gratis, and thousands of votes
were thrown out on account Of
slight irregularities in marking,
the proportion running about 20
Republicans to 80 Democrats los
ing their votes for this reason.
In our neighboring County Of
Cecil, the Republicans made Al
gallant fight against heavy odds.
The normal Democratic majority
in years Of State elections is be-
tween 400 and 800, but this year
the Republicans elect one Sena-
tor, one Represepative and two
County Commissioners. The Re-
publicans thds secure the con-
troll of t County affairs and
win hay e appointment of con-
stables an excise or license
board and all minor officers. The
Republican Representative elect
ed is Mr.. Joshua Clayton who
has a majority of 27 votes. Mr..
Clayton is a former resident of i
St. Georges Hundred and secured
his political training in this COM
munjty. We congratulate him |
upon his success.
In Ohio, the Republicans Sc
cured the highest plurality ever
received at a State election, and
in New Jersey the Republican
candidate for Governor was
elected by an increased majority. |
The results in all the states |
show that the Republicans have
not lost any ground, but that De-
mocracy especially of the Bryan
brand has lost. Even Nebraska |
where Mr.. Bryan went on the
stump decided against the Demo
Gratis and Fusionists. The only |
places where the party has in any |
manner held its own is in states
where Bryan was repudiated and |
where the party was led by men
who have been in the past, and
still are, opposed to Organism
and Free Silver.
