TAMMANY HALLS DEFEAT.

Even the best Republican papers
admit that the election Of Seth Low rs
mayor OF New York is not a Republican
victory, that New York is normally
Democratic This phase Of the election

suits of the New York election Presi-
dentRooseyelt commented upon il being

then and there diaclamed any idea of Il
party victory,
Such view is sensible one. There
is no hiding the fact that Tammany
hall has brought itself into widespread
disrepute in the metropolitan city Of
the nation because Of its connivance at
official dishonesty. Unfortunately for
the Democratic party outside Of New
York, 1t has had to bear much of the
odium aud reproach which Tammany
hall has caused and indirectly it has
affected election returns in many
municipalities, and always adversely to
the Democrats.
Tammany hall had fallen so low in
public esteem that with Mr., Shepherd
heading the Democrat ticket, yet it was
beaten MIR Shepherd is a public spirit
ed man, of fine character but nOtwith-
standing his reputation for honesty and
courage he was badly beaten. 1t Is to
