DEVERY's SUCCESS.

What does William S. Devery's sue
cess as the leader of the Ninth As
sembly district of New York city por-
tend? He made his fight with the
avowed purpose of becoming the leader
of Tammany Ever since he came into
prominence in New York city politics
it has been admitted that he is
man of great force of character, but is
he such a man as Tammany wants at
its head? He is coarse man, and
from what the New York newspapers
have said Of hin-the papers of both
political parties-he is a calculating
politician. and will not hesitate at any
thing to gain the point he has in view
1t has not been SO very long since
he lost his position as chief of police
of New York on the charge that he
used it for purposes of revenue. If
that charge is true it would be an un-
happy day for New York IL he should
get the leadership of Tammany, and
Tammany should again get control of
the city.
There is no denying that Devery
indut ItIIidThdDle campaign. lie
practically bribed his way to success.
He did not buy votes. as far as we
know, but he gave free excursions to
people of the district. invited them 20
picnics, gave free shows of one kind
and another for their amusement,
opened barrooms for free beer and in
every other he could sought to fngra-
tiate himself into their good will 1t
is asserted that the election cost him
fully $50. 900, If not more. 1t would be
unjust to him, of course, to say that
he expects to get that money back
in some way through the position he
has won. Judging from what was said
of him in other public positions some
body win have to pay his election OK
penses.
Devery is not the kind Of man that
is needed in the prominent political
positions in New York He has no
idea of promoting the welfare of the
people and the interests of the city.
His sole idea is to advance his cwn
fortunes. If he should get such a con-
troll of New York as Mr.. Croker had
there win a general regret in that
city that Mr.. Croker got out of poll
tics.

advantages would there have been n
admitting them Pretty nearly all OF
the negroes are disfrauchised in each OF
the states. and if the negroes have no
votes there IS no reason why they

Il is probable that there VIII be no

Carolina IN 1864. and that several Of
the other Southern states viii be req

Urally the negro feels that he has a

The question as TO whether or not
white Republicans will succeed in
building up a party of respectable
proportions in the Southern states ia
which the negro has been disfranchis-
ed is receiving good deal of atten-
ton. 1t is a question on which there
is a marked difference Of opinion. SEN
ator Money of Mississippi was quoted
few days ago as saying that there
as no chance for a white Republican
party in the South. There are other
Southern men of prominence who hold
similar opinion. The probability is
they are mistaken. Much will depend
upon the positions of the Democratic
and Republican parties on national is
sues. A question is likely to arise at any
time on which the white people of the
South will divide. The race question
has held them together and still holds

THE PRESIDENTS POSITION IN.
DORSED


Now that the President has secured
the Endorsement of his position on
trusts and Cuban reciprocity by six
Of the leading Senators of his party he
win doubtless set out on his trip to the
West with a light heart and an easy
mind.
He had heard some criticism of his
recent speeches on trusts and he had
been told that he would find an intense
ANTITRUST sentiment jim the West-a
sentiment that demanded a reduction
of the tariff on all trust made articles.
He knew of course that in the beet
producing states there was bitter hos
tility to reciprocity with Cuba. Hence
he wanted to find out what the leaders
of his party thought of what he pro-
posed to say on these subjects while
on his Western trip. If the dispatches
are correct, the Senator's who talked
with him at his home at Oyster Bay
on Tuesday Endorsed his Cuban policy
and approved what he proposes to say
in regard to trusts.
The President will find in portions Of
the West that his views on trusts are
not as cordially received as they were
in New England. The Western people
want manufactured goods as cheaply as
they can get them, and they do not
approve a tariff which seems to be
mainly for the purpose of increasing
the number of millionaires and making
la N.i., -
Outside of the beet sugar states he
will doubtless find the people pretty
generally in favor of extending a help
| ing hand to Cuba, but in those states
he will be told that his first duty is to
look out for the welfare of his own
| country.
On these trips which the President
| is making he is seeking the nomination
| of his party for President as well as
| trying to help elect Republicans to
| Congress. Notwithstanding the fact
| that he has been Endorsed by his party
in a number of states, It is by no
| means certain that he will get the
nomination, though the leading Re-
| publicans seem to concede that he will
He is not in complete harmony with
his party, but he may not be so much
out of touch with it that it will throw
him overheard when the time
comes for making the nomination. In
its issue of last Monday, the New York
Times, in discussing the question as 10
| whether or not Mr.. Roosevelt is the
| logical candidate of his party for Pres
ident, said that IF he would advance
TO the position of Mckinley as to re-
ciprocity in general, and If the Demo-
Gratis, now hopefully re-organizing
their forces, could expel from the party
system the various Populistie poisons
implanted during the Bryan debauch
the President would logically stand
much nearer to that party than to his
own" We quote the foregoing from the
| Times to show that there is an opin-
ion abroad that the President is not
the logical candidate of his party,
