Of the bank near where the body was

evidence Of Crisswell's fall down the

SUBSCRIPTION RATEsI
HEARsTos BIG VOTE

There is much reason to believe that if an honest count could be secured it would be found that William R. Hearst was elected mayor ct New York. There Is no question in the world but that had there been an honest vote Mir. Hearst would have received a decisive plurality.
 That this result of the campaign against Tammany could be possible was not dreamed of two months ago and it suggests a condition that is worth inQuiring into. That much of the Hearst strength was due to the antipathy of decent citizen ship to Tammany and Tammany meth eds is unquestioned, but it does not fully explain the extraordinary turn events political have taken. The same feeling existed two years ago when George b. Mcclellan defeated Seth Lowe by an overwhelming majority. Since then there have been two years of excellent government by Tammany administra- lion. Even William Travers Jerome in his campaign this fall took occasion to apologize for the violent charges he made against Mayor Mcclellan two years ago. He paid the mayor the com Dliment of being an honest and clean official.
 The cause for the great Hearst vote can probably be looked for in the grow, ing feeling against the methods of money getting that prevail among the high 6nanciers of the land and to the persistent and consistent war Hearsrs papers have made upon them. In the uprising of the people for 8 square deal in business and official conduct Hearst has been on the side of the people. The majority of New York voters have reciprocated by voting for him for mayor.
