The New York MuddIe.

New York politics is presenting to
day an interesting aspect. The prob
abilities indicate the reelection Of
Mayor Mcclellan by a decisive ma
jority. And uRies there should be an
eleventh-hour change, of a character
and Importance altogether unexpect-
ed, he will be reelected by ma
jority of that description.
But this present condition of af-
fairs political has evolved from
very whirlpool of incident as intri-
cate and complicated as any that
even New York's political history
offers the student. The phenomenal
campaign of Mr. Hearst has been the
expression of a public revolt against
the bosses and the system of bossism,
and the personality of the candi-
date. save as it was typical Of this
revolt, has had nothing to do with
the movement.
A thing extremely curious. how
ever, is displayed in news dispatches
today, wherein it appears Mr.. Hearst
has joined forces and perfected an
offensive and defensive alliance
with the Odell organization. Muir
phyism is not attractive. it is true,
but call it Odellism and the odor is
not improved. This shows that con-
sistency is still a jewel and that its
value is due largely to the infre-
quency with which it is found.
But there are many persons in
New York who are disguised with the
whole present system-who have
been made so suspicious by recent
disclosures of graft-in government,
life insurance, and general corpora
ton activity-that in their eyes any
change must be an Improvement
They are the men who have given the
Hearst movement dignity and sta
Dility. OF course, it had adherents
of another large class-the irrespon-
sibles, who hang on the fringe of the
social fabric and shout the war
cries of discomfort.
Dul u - Al6 laEScE ana more re-
spectacle element that has given the
movement its potency and made it
a menace to politicians and leaders
of the dominant faction. These men
believe in municipal control and the
municipal ownership of public utiH-
ties-they want Scent car fares and
50-cent gas and such a change in
the administration of the law as
wiz make it as dangerous TO be a
big thief ss a little one. That is
what they have seen in the Hearst
protest.
There are hardly enough OF them,
however. to carry the election. II
looks now very much like Mcclellan
and Jerome. And, although in the
past. when Tammany did not
prophesy she did not win, her an
nouncement that she will issue no
formal ante-election forecast in this
campaign does not detract from the
strength of this conviction.

PANIC OVER HEARST.

This New York fight for the
mayorahty foreibIy reminds me OF the
stirring times of the 1886 campaign when
the business world was up in arms
against Bryanism." said J. B. Barker,
of Chicago. at the Raleigh today. i've
been in New York for the past week.
To my astonishment the Democrats and
Republicans. who seem to have Joined
issue, are shouting that the election OF
Hearst means the eternal ruin OF New
York. They are calling on the business
men TO save the property rights of the
people. To hear Mayor McCleIlan's ap-
peal one would think that IL Hearst
should be elected property rights would
be conflscated and all existing contracts
and financial Obligations of the city
repudiated.
This may frighten some timId men
into voting for Mcclellan, but If man
would stop and think one minute he
would see through the faIlacy of such
an argument. Hearst undoubtedly has
the masses with him. and his appeals TO
rid the city of the bosses are striking
home. He is making headway, and il
is his growing popularity, or, rather,
the strength of the issue he represents,
that is frightening Tammany and Odell.
AS one OF the Hearst managers said
Hearst would or could oVerturn existing
conditions If elected is tommyrot, and TIE

There is little excitement IN the vir-

SwansOn's election as governor IS only a
question Of majority" said George Tay-
lor, of Norfolk, at the Metropolitan to-
day. Virginia is a reliable Democratic
State and a nomination for governor Is
equivalent to an election. The people,
of course, take a lively interest in the
one-sided contest and turn out IN large
numbers at the political meetings.
The excitement in the campaign was
the stump speaking preceding the pri-
mary election. There feeling ran high.

Playing the Game.

An example of football at its best
has been presented in the games
played by the High School League,
in the city of Washington. In their
degree they inspired an interest as
vital and created partisans as zeal
Gus, fmpassioned, and hungry for
victory, as the games in which their
elder brothers of the colleges play
their gallant part. These school boys
met and withstood their temptations.
conquered their difficulties, and
through a series of interesting and
closely contested gridiron struggles
always played the game.
The Times honors and commends
them. The spirit Of clean sport here
in Washington, and in the larger cir
cles into which the high school play
ers will penetrate, has been benefited
by their example.
There was a case in point in the
game Tuesday afternoon, between
Central and Western. The star of
the Central eleven was Macdonald,
its captain. Not alone in personal
prowess, but in the elan with which
he bore himself and inspired his
team, he was the most formidable
figure Western had to face. That
young team had never won a school
championship and Tuesdays game
was to decide its hopes for the pres
ent season. Macdonald was so near
ly disabled he could have been put
out of the game by any minor bit of
dirty work his opponents were will
ing to perpetrate. 1t was scarce ex-
pected he would play the game
through.
But he did-and was a tower of
strength for Central. That Western
won was due to clean playing and
better football, and not to the elimi-
nation Of her most feared antagonist.
That temptation was resisted. She
has the championship, torn from de-
feat by measures free from the
suspicion of reproach, and it is the
sweeter victory on that account. SO
Central has informed the champions,
in generous words that illustrate the
fact that sportsmanship dwells in
o street as we'll as Georgetown.
This instance has not been ex-
ceptional in this high school series,
but is merely in point 1t shows
the rule Of conduct and the spirit
that to our thinking have made the
contests conspicuous beyond the local
pale Of their immediate interest.
Among these boys manly strength
and striving and determination to
win have been held in check by an
equal determination to win only by
fair means.
