matter Who killed it, the fact remains.
The republicans and the Citizens
Unionists handy angry words about It,
but it is dead. On the surface the out
look is that Tammany should win by .
huge majority. Her legions are conf
dent. They are already in fancy
portioning the Offices for four years
and the spending of $S00.000.0 900 in
taxes and bonds.
OF course they are safe enough so
far as the republicans are concerned,

city last year came far short of Judge

he was an excellent candidate. but ~
per cent. of the vote. Mr.. Roosevelt
himself longer ago ran third to Abram
S. Hewitt and Henry George.
The uncertainty lies In the new par
ties. What effect the municipal league
may have upon public opinion, how
much effect Hearst's teachings through
his widely circulated newspapers may
have had-who knows? One thing we
do know. The socialists, In spite of
the division in their ranks, have made
rapid progress. They polled something
like $4,000 votes for governor last year
and their orators were already busy
on every street corner month ago,
talking to men whom the amazing rev.
Citations of insurance corruption and its
alliance with political corruption have
made ready to listen to strong doc
trine. 1t is reasonably safe to predict
for them a considerable increase in
voting strength this year; and that
strength is greatest in heavily Tam
many districts.
This is the only circumstance that
gives Boss Murphy disquiet. l cannot
say that it gives him much anxiety.
And of course 1t is sorry outlook for
the city when a boss like Murphy is
satisfied. 1t is sorry outlook for the
democratic party in the state. also. for
as the city grows tremendously in pop
ulation at the country districts's ex-
pense, so grows the power of Tammany
in the party. In former years the
Brooklyn democrats, by combining
with the upstate men, usually kept
Tammany in a humble minority. This

took place. The year previous the three
mile walk was dropped, although both
competitions had been on the cham
pionship list since the first meet. in 1876.
1t was said the walks were eliminated
to make way for the highly problemat-
ical and senseless exercise Of throwing
the discus. This substitution was
caused by the victory OF an American,
Robert Garrett, of Princeton, at tho
first revival of the Olympic games in
Greece. in 1896. For awhile afterward
the athletes here were simply discus
mad and, Of course, the A. A. U. legisla-
ture had to add It to the program at the
expense Of the time-honored branch Of
modern athletics. Now there is a reac-
ton, for familiarity has shown that dis
Gus throwing is no real test of muscular
power, for the big men who excel at the
shot, hammer and "56" cannot throw It
at all. 1t requires knack like lingering

master this secret, no matter how strong
he may be, cannot scale the thing even
q respectable distance. Next fall both
at the metropolitan and national con-
ventions steps will be taken to have the
walks inserted in the program. The dis
Gus will be dropped and consigned to
oblivion. Many Of the old-time athletes
and patrons of sport in the early days
favor the revival of walking. and state
that it should never have been dropped.

Standpatism received a solar
plexus blow IN the house of it's
friends last week, when the Massa-
chusetts republican state convention
declared for tariff revision. The
action is causing much interest all
over the country, and standpatters
don't speak in so positive a tone as
formerly. 1t is doubtful, however,
if congress will take any action on
the tariff next winter, as it
is slow to act in such important
matters, and the president, who is
known to favor revision, will not
force the issue unless he is certain
of success.
