The election of William T. jerome
independent, as district attorney, is {
severe blow to the Tammany organiza
tion, which exerted all the force at it
command to defeat him. His victory
is remarkable, when it is considered
that he was the candidate Of no party
and made his appeal for votes solely
on his record in office for the las
: four years, and that every man VIII
voted for him voted a split ticket.
