Ambassador Reid said it was his privilege to
ioin personally in the congratulations to the
society. but it was a greater privilege to be the
bearer of congratulations incom parably more
important than his He said that. while
# was true that in the United States there was
no state support of religion and that no pro-
fession of faith was made in the Constitution
moments glance over the facts of history
would reassure every of the close moral
kfnshin between the two great English speak
ing peoples.
The Ambassador quoted from the Declaration
of independence and from the sayings of Wash

lieious thought. He said that few great leaders

TIE RESULTS ELSEWHERE.

The independent voter played a decisive role
in yesterdays elections 1t was trying day for
machines and bosses. McCarren was over
whelmed in Brooklyn and Murphy's grip on Man
haitian rudey shaken. In Philadelphia the
Durham organization was buried under an i'm
mense popular majority, and the prestige of Sen
ator Boies Penrose as dictator in state politics
In Pennsylvania was irretrievably shattered.
Senator German was rebuked by the voters of
Maryland and his odious dsfranchisement
scheme was rejected by an indignant electorate.
The Senator promised some time ago TO retire
from politics if the amendment should carry. 1t
looks now as if his rule in Maryland had been
involuntariy terminated. Boss Cox in Cincin-
natl went down in the throes Of a popular re-
volt His local ticket was badly defeated and he
promptly issued notice Of abdication. Mayor
Schmitz in San Francisco. seems to be the only
boss who escaped the path of yesterday g
cyclone.
One of the incidental results of the indepen-
dent iInheayal was the defeat in Ohio Of the Re
,nlblic.tn state ticket Governor Herrick s piu-
raiity of two years ago-113,S12-- melted away
pattisou his Democratic opponent. seems 10 nave

Dissatisfaction with boss" rule. as exempliied In
Cincinnati. contributed powerfully TO this upset
for Herrick carried Hamilton County in 1903 by
10000 and lost ii yesterday by about 12ooo.
The defeat of the Durham-Penrose machine IN
Philadelphia notable triumph of public de-
cency-also contributed fatally to drive away
support from the Republican candidate Tor
State Treasurer. thick and thin machine ad-
herent. The City party swept Philadelphia by
plurality of between 10000 and 100000. and the
election of Berry, the Democratic Prohibition
isr and independent candidate for State Treas

NEW-JERSEY ALL RIGHT.

Well New Jersey is all right. The Repuh-
cans retain control Of the legislature. by in
creased majority, and the personnel of that body
men who have advanced ideas of their response
blity to the public.
The people of Jersey City have vindicated
themselves in re-electing Mayor Pagan bg
handsome majority. Opposed to Mr.. Pagan were
both the Republican and Democratic machines
and all the corporate interests that wanted spe-
cial privileges. He had to depend on the plain
citizens whose interests he had guarded. and
they did not fail him when the time of trial
came yesterday
Everett Colby's election TO the State Senate is
distinct gain for good government. He won
the Republican nomination at the primaries in
a contest with one of the most powerful organi-
cations in New-Jersey or any other State. and
in spite of the ukewarmneSs of many Of the
machine men he came out of yesterdays battle
an easy victor. Mr.. Colby carried through with
him Frank H SOmmer. the Republican candi
date for Sheriff, against whom the lawless ee-
ment made an especially aggressive fight.
There is one alleged Republican whose prob
able defeat will not cause much grief among
champions of law and order-ASa Francis. He
had himself nominated for Sheriff of Monmouth
County For any other office, self-respecting and
independent Republicans might have permitted
his election but they drew the line at putting
into his hands the whole machinery of the courts
of Justice At late hour last night the reports
indicated the defeat of Francis. incidentally, it
may be said that The Tribune is rather pleased
at the part it took in trying to bring that about.

ON the appointed date and making the eX-

body.
II is not universal suffrage. Far from IT. But
IT gives universal representation upon the OASIS
of what is probably all the worthy suffrage
possible. Practically all the educated men OF
Russia are made voters: not only those holding
university degrees but also all having hgh
school diplomas The significance of that lies
in the fact that these 'intellectuals," as they
are commonly called, have supplied the Dralh
and heart of the revolutionary movement ana

progressive tendencies. All tradesmen except
the very smallest all tenants paving $40 or

more salary are also enfranchised- 1t is. as we
Nbave said far from universal suffrage At
least ii is intelligent suffrage and suffrage in

and the rational if deliberate development OF

What universal suffrage would mean may be

THE PRESIDENTS E4AMPLE.

President Roosevelt set a good example to all
citizens Yesterday by making the trip from
Washington to Oyster Bay TO vote The election
in Nassau County was probably as unexcitlfg as
any election could well be- There was nobody
to be voted for but member of Assembly and
few county officers. The county is strongly Re
publican and there was not the remotest chance
thst Mr. Rooseyet's vote would affect the result
with regard to any office. His work at Washing
ton is arduous and pressing. If any man could
truthfully say that he had duties too important
to leave in order to vote for an Assemblyman
who would be elected anyhow. he could Yet he
makes the tiresome journey and hurres back to
his desk, just to perform his part one citizen
who takes seriously his obligations as member
of self governing community.
How small and selfish before such devotion to
the ideal of good citizenship many of our repu-
table citizens should feel, having failed to vote
because they wanted TO go into the country or
did not like the weather or took no interest IN
the issues presented to them While the Presi-
dent travelling hundreds of miles TO vote
where there was nothing of interest to vote on
many neil in this city, where issues of momen-
tous Importance were TO be decided. neglected
from mere lazness and personal selfshneSs 10
do their part to insure for themselves and their
families the blessings of good government. If
the returns this morning do not suit theln they
have only themselves TO blame. The elector who
fails to do his duty and vote deserves the worst
sort of government which may be imposed upon
him If good government is secured by the eff
forts of Others it is no credit to him.
New-York tribune., 1905-11-08
HIP .JEROHE'S TRTTNPH

On one result of the election honest citizens
are heartily to be congratulated. Mr.. Jerome
has won by a small but safe margin, and for four
years to come "honest graft will have to be ex-
ceedingly cautious. while "monkeying with the
Penal Code will involve fearful risks. The Dis
trct Attorney made dashing campaign and
played the independent role with extraordinary
vigor but it is now evident that the size and
enthusiasm of his meetings out Of proper
tion to the strength and Solidity of his support
The vote on District Attorney was so close as to
show that but for Judge Planners high minded
withdrawal. which largely Influenced by
The Tribune. and his urgent advice to all Re
publcans to vote for Mr Jerome, Mr.. Osborne
would beyond doubt have been elected. The
party vote so turned tipped the scale and sup
piled the deficiencies of unorganized enthusiasm.
The omelet of mere personal following was evil
IDENTIFY to a considerable extent souihe. Neverthe-
less, his election by movement begun outside
of party and without the support Of party Or
ganization until almost the end. of the cam
paign. when that support could not be made
completely effective, owing TO the technicalltles
of the ballot law, is remarkable triumph OF
public opinion and a noteworthy demonstration
of the power of a personality.
The victory is a heathful lesson to party man
ayers which We think they will be inclined to
remember. The success of the experiment, how
ever, depended on striking personality with
genius for publicity. Few men. no matter how
able courageous and honest. with exactly the
same issue could make ii effectively From that
point of view Mr.. JerOmes example is not likely
to be fertile and secure that general indepen-
dence of political organization which some may
be inclined to see in it Mr. Jerome's election is
a personal victory for man who has so touched
the popular imagination and fired it with moral
enthusiasm as to defy all rules limiting the ac-
tions of other men. Such characters in all times,
like Jackson and Roosevelt, become popular
heroes and find their own road to success. Mr.
Jerome became TO this community the type and
symbol of fearless and upright performance OF
public duty and his election Is not merely
great tribute to him and a victory for good gov
ernment but tonic vindication to the people
themselves of their own moral impulses and
their capacity for self-government.

ship--voted for.
I'm Massachusetts, where national rather than
local issues were involved. the Republican can
didates won rather easy triumph. Curtis Guild
WAS elected Governor replacing William H.
Douglas Democrat. Ehen S. Draper won the
lieutenant govcrnorship by a reduced margin
owing to the special fight made against him as
q astand. d.patter' on the tariff issue. In Rhode
Island DR. Garvin made his fifth successive can
vass for the governorship. and seems to have
been defeated by slightly larger plurality than
that cast against him last year. In Virginia the
Democratic state ticket elected by little
smaller margin than usual. Nebraska seems TO
have elected Republican candidates for minor
state offices. In these last four states condi-
tions approached the normal and the political
enthusiasms and resentments which made yes
terday's results memorable in New-York,- Penn
sylvania. Maryland and Ohio had little oppor-
tunity for expression.
