THE CITY THE UNWILLING HOST
Mr.. DEvERY GRACEFULLY WITHDREW IN
FAVOR OF THE TAXPAYERS

1t was fine time that Big Bill" Devery and
about l4S OF his friends had the occasion of the
dewey celebration, and. following a habit which
had taken deep root with him. BIZ ordered the
expense charged to the city. The bill of Mr. Ma
zett. the caterer amounting to $3.50. was for re

that proud craft, in 1899. journeyed down the bay
TO loot for Admiral Dewey. and again when Mr.
DeNery went 10 see the international yacht races
And now MI. Rives, the Corporation Counsel, says
with great calmness and moderation after look
ing over the 'refreshment" bill:
In my opinion the liability for the refreshments
rests upon the persons who received them and
ordered them. and not the city. and I would
therefore advise that the claim be rejected
Inc claim was referred to Mr. Rves for opin-
ion as to its legality by William J. Lyon. auditor
OF the Finance Department. IN inquiring into the
merits Of the claim Mr. Rives in his opinion says it
was learned from CAPTAIN Ebert o. Smith who
was in command of the Patrol at the time, that
ne ordered the refreshments at the direction OF
William DeVery who the Chief Of Police at

Pohce commissioners and their guests. The Com

Sir: IN editorial note you say this morning:
The cold storage turkey is the unapproach-

keeland are not wholly what they were once.
This is putting it very mildly, indeed. far, es-
peCially. as the turkey IS concerned. The cold
storage turkey is not only inferior the bird
in the good old times but it is in the majority Of
cases an abomination which ought TO be conhscated
and destroyed by the Health Board

books relating TO the manners and morals of print

the gastronomic habits of the African Bushmen in
regard TO the entrails of sheep being too nau-
seating. 1t was nauseatng, and I left it out; but
cans-and not only the poor ones-are condemned
TO gastronomic practices differing only in degree
from those OF the Bushmen.
The dealers have all sorts of sophstical excuses
for preserving turkeys and chickens undrawp; but
their real reason is the desire to sell the inside of
fowl for the price per pound as the meat
What makes this swindle a thousand times more

vAGARIEs OF PLURAMTIEs.
AN ATTEMPT TO ACCOUNT FOR THIS
YEARS DEMOCRATIC VOTE IN NEW
YORK CITY

To the Editor OF The Tribune
Sir: The only reliable fact to be learned from
pluraliues in an election is the name Of the sue
cessfm candidate Correct conclusions as TO the
strength Of parties and the trend of opinion on
questions of public policy can only be secured by a
study Of the total votes cast.
notable case Of how false conclusions may be
drawn from puralties is shown in the State cleo
lions Of 1880 1852 and 1854 In the Presidential cleo
ton of 1850 James a. Garfield had 555 544 votes: w
s. Hancock 5545l1; Republican plurality z.OS3
In the election for Governor in 1852 Grover CIeve-
land had 5S5,SlS votes; Charles j. Folger So, 46l;
Democratic plurality 192,S54.
In the election for President 1884 Grover CIeve-
land had 56a'olS; James G. Blaine, 562,Col; Demo
cratic plurality. IO47
The Democratic vote varied only IS so in these
four years. The Republican varied 2l9537.
The swing of pluralities was from 21.0SS RepubIi-
can TO l92,S54 Democratic Charles J. FoIger was
an able statesman, with national reputation
Grover Cleveland was then comparatively m
known, with only local reputation. Two hundred
thousand Republicans, dissatisfied with the State
leadership sent Judge Folger to his grave and
placed Grover Cleveland in the White House.
In 1900 B. B. OdelIs plurality was Ill l2S; in 1892
it was about 1900. falling off in plurality of
about 100000. Does history repeat itself? Was this
shrinkage caused by increasing Democratic
strength. or was there dissatisfaction against two
years of Republican State administration? Or
was there Republican discomfort with party lead
ers?
Only study of the total votes cast will enable
US to answer these questions. In making our de-
auctions. however. must keep in mind the fact
that 1900 was a Presidential election year and
1902 was an off year. when there is an inevitable
decrease in votes greater with the party in power
than with the opposition. Also. in 1890 many Demo-
Gratis and independents voted the Republican ticket
In 1892. with Organism practically eliminated there
was a drifting back of anti-Bryau Democrats to
their party.
These causes. however. are not sufficient TO ex-
plain slump of 10000 plurality. The total vote
IN New-York County, just published. will give us
some light:
