THE ELECTIONS.

\
The election results Tuesday show
conclusively that the American people
are learning to vote independently
and disregard party lines when in
their judgment good government de-
mands such action. They also show
that the day Of corrupt machines is
passing and that the. people when
they thoroughly understand the sit
uation are for honesty and decency.
When a State like Ohio which last
year went Republican by 100000 and
a State like Pennsylvania which went
Republican by 100000. reverse them.
selves and give Democratic majorities
of $4,000 to 100000, with moral issues
involved, IT Is high time for the cor.
rupt politician to realize that the PEG.
pie cannot be fooled all the time.
AS a national political party, the
Democrats cannot claim partisan
victory over the results in Ohio and
Pennsylvania. In fact these results
should have no effect in shaping any
national policies. They were not vic.
tories for the Democrats, speaking
from a partisan standpoint, but were
simply victories of the people. State
issues were alone involved, a point
which was emphasized by the Demo
cratic candidates. and 1t would be
foolish to drag national politics into
the discussion.
1t was general house-cleaning. In
Ohio and Pennsylvania things have
been smelly for q long time. In
short the stencil was beginning to
get unbearable. And Just as the pru.
dent housewife realizes that every
once in a while her house should be
thoroughly cleaned from top to bot.
tom, SO the voters of Ohio and Penn.
sylvania reached the conclusion ii
was time for them to apply tae mop
and the brush and the broom. All of
which goes to- show that popular
government is, not farce and that
the people may be depended upon to
do the right thing when the issues
are squarely put before them.
Though Tammany has figured out a
narrow and disgraceful victory for Nc.
Clellan the friends of good govern.
ment have no reason to be down cast
over the result there. The result was
a moral victory really for Hearst and
the progressive, anti-machine ideas
and principles embodied in his plat.
form. The chief trouble in New
York was that the friends of good
government were divided between
two parties while the forces of graft
were united. Every vote that was
cast for WINS and Hearst may be
counted as vote for good govern
ment as against graft. Combine
their votes and you will see that

AS TO BOSSES.

The people at the elections Tues
day were after the bosses, big and
little. real and imaginary. Such
bosses are those who are at the head
Of the machinery of our political
parties. We have always had them
and always will have them-that is.
we viii have them as long as we have
parties and we will have these as
long as our present form Of govern.
ment exists. Bosses are sometimes
called leaders. Those bosses who
were knocked out on Tuesday are
simply to be succeeded by new bosses.
The change may be better for time,
but sooner or later the new fellows
will be dubbed corrupt bosses,
as of yore, and in some cases. no
doubt properly so.
George B. Cox, the Republican boss
of Cincinnati. was charged with not
only controlling the politics of Ohio
but also the legislation of that State.
He is the same kind of boss that
German is in Maryland. He dictated
everything.
We doubt If the people of Penn
sylvania have accomplished anything
by turning down the old gang.
Mayor Weaver. of Philadelphia, who
led in the reform movement, used
to belong to the gang and was made
what he is by it. The fellows who
succeed it will probably be no better
than their predecessors. They are
sure to be called bosses in due time.
The most corrupt bosses in the
country are those at the head of the
Tammany organization in New York
City. Richard Croker while at its
head soon became millionaire, ana
his successor, Charles F. Murphy. has
become likewise in remarkably
short time. District Attorney Je-
rome, In his canvass for reelection,
made Murphy's money the issue. In
quiring in all his speeches, Where
did he get it?"
While leaders or bosses are neces.
sary, in fact Indispensable, the prob
ability is that we will still have some
corrupt persons among them. but we
believe that as in the past the great
majority will be heightened. honorable
gentlemen.
II has been the rule with the Re.
publicans Of this State to select as
their leaders their best men and they
have seldom made mistakes. On the
other hand the Democracy has not
been so particular remembering the
chiltons. McGraws and whole lot
Of other s,has beenss.
