TAMMANY'S TRIUMPH
OPINION OF NEW YORK EDITORS
ON RESULT OF ELECTION.
Hone Mcclellan Will Act Honestly, but
Give No Credence to
Promises.
From the New York Tribune.

From the New York Tribune.
IT would be too much to say that new
York is unfit for self-government. But II
is the truth that there is no visible eVi"
dence of it's fitness to govern itself IN the
triumph which Tammany Hall won yester-
day. The verdict is the more unsatisfac-
tory because it was calmly and deliberately
reached by the great jury of voters. While
the excitement which was conspicuous and
constant two years ago did not develop this
year. there was no reason to believe that
the comparative tranquility indicated a
lack of rational interest in the contest
Moreover, there is nothing about the re-
suit to suggest the poor excuse that the
natural opponents of Tammany suffered
the election to go by default. The regis
tration was larger than ever before, and
the poll showed less than the usual falling
off from the registry figures. 1t would
seem that after deliberate consideration of
what had resulted from turning Tammany
out a large majority of the people had
quietly determined to put it back. Some OF
the circumstances of the reversal as
strang as the actual fact. Fine weather
and a large and early vote are usually
deemed unfavorable to the regular democ-
racy of New York. Yesterday was per-
feet day, a huge vote was eagerly cast and
Tammany won by an immense majority.

Appeal to Party Spirit.
rom the New York World


The appeal to party spirit in the city
election has prevailed Tammany has won
by 10000 majority in a city that gave
Grover Cleveland $4,000 in 1892, and which
Coler carried last year by 122.OOO The
moral of this phase of the defeat is plain
to read: The next fusion candidate for
mayor must be democrat, If the anti
Tammany forces wish to carry the cleo
ton. There are some prejudices and predi-
lections that are proof against argument,
and the election yesterday again demon
strated that party feeling is one of the
strongest of them. The voters have decided
for a partisan administration for the next
two years, but this does not alter the
Worlds conviction, maintained for many
years, that this principle is intrinsically
bad, and can never result when rigidly ap-
piled. in honest and efficient municipal gov
eminent An administration that is run
by politicians for political and personal
ends, rattle" than by able and honest ad-
ministrators in the interest OF the taxpay-
ers, is bound to be bad. It's character is
fixed by its wrong principle.

Reason for Landslide.

From the New York Herald.
The sweeping plurality by which Tam
many secures control of the city for the
next two years has given rise to suspicious
that many republicans must have knitted
the fusion ticket. 1t is not, however, neceS-
Sary to resort to such sinister suggestions
to explain what has happened. Discomfort
with the administration of the excise law
and Tammany's success in arousing par
tisan spirit will go far to account for the
result. True, Mayor Low distinctly demand
ed that nothing more than the specific re-
qurements of the excise statute should be
enforced and abolished the former inquisi-
tOrtal exploits of policemen in plain clothes.
Nevertheless, even this liberal enforcement
of the law was resented by an element in
our opulation which has shown in the past
that 1t puts freedom from restraint in this
matter above all larger questions of civic
administration.
The main influence, however, in giving
the victory to Tammany-aside from lis
perfect machine. which In this campaign
has been OILED with unprecedented pro-
fusion-is the fact that a vast number of
voters were induced to accept the state
ment that the issue was not merely one Of
good municipal housekeeping, but involved
an advantage to one or other of the two
great political parties. Every one knows
that New York Is democratic city, and
that only with the aid of democratic votes
can any fusion administratio be possible
Make II appear that the issue is between
republicans and democrats, and the vote of
New York is foregone conclusion. In
presence of the returns published this
morning 1t is clear that Tammany was sue
cessful In Its efforts to excite partisan feel
ing and persuaded a vast number of voters
that the success of the fusion ticket would
in some way affect the future Of the demo-
cratic party In state and national politics.
Red Light Wins.
From the New York Times
Some consoling hope of good administra-
ton during the next two years might re-
main to us If there were a particle Of
Clellan, inspired by his great opportunity.
might harden his heart and stiffen his
backbone against tho vulgar, corrupt,
criminal mob that put him in nomination
and with democratic assistance has borne
him to the mayors chair. If that belief
might have been entertained at the begin:
ming of the campaign Mr.. Mcclellan has
completely destroyed 1t by his utterances
and his attitude, which create the expec-
tation that he will be as plant as Sullivan
could demand or Croker require. It Is a
Tammany triumph that confronts us, sof-
tened by no mitigations.
