Some Election ResuIiss.
The grand old party Of graft received
some very hard raps in Tuesdays cleo
tons. The sturdy yeomanry of Ohio
repudiated the republican bosses and
elected the entire Democratic State
ticket and a democratic minority in the
legislature.
This result has a national significance
as he democrats unequivocally en-
dorsed President R"osevelt's stand Oh
the rate question. while the republicans
gave it only n half-hcarted support. The
campaign was principally fought on this
issue, and the question Of bossism. IL
the democratic officials give the people
OF II clean, honest government when
they get control OF the State. Ohio will
all probability remain III the democratic
column rs it's people are thoroughly
tired OF boss rule. The eyes Of the
nation Will be upon John NJ. Pattison,
the newly elected governor, during his
term OF Office. 1f he Provos- himself TO
be Of the right materinl, higher honors.
even the presidency, may be his.
Tie grating ofd Early Dlso ,eu on
hard lines in Pennsylvania. The people
there turned upon their bosses nnd
routed them in Philadelphia and
throughout the State. For The first
time in fifty years the democrats have
elected the State treasurer by 100 600
majority. Tho rebellion against the
republican machine was so strong that
every office, for which there was Il sem.
blancc Of a contest, was lost to the ma.
chine. Last year Pennsylvania gave
Roosevelt Il majority OF more than half n
million.
In Philadelphia the reform forces led
by Mayor Weaver swept the city by a
plurality of I3,33S. The sturdy old
Quakers could not be kept in line this
year by the plea that n democratic vic.
tory meant the DOWNFALL OF profession.
The were ont, cunning for rrrrbli,an
bosses and the result thuss that none
escaped.
Tho result in Pcnnsl Ivnia Proves
that the day of bussism are over in TINT
State. The intolerablc corruption and
grating OF the republican machine will
now he shown up in all OF IFS r]ottenness.
All honor to the sturdy citizens of Penn
s~ylvania.
In New York the latest returns give
Me lellan, democrat, II plurality OF =, ls5
over Hearst, the municipal leugue
candidate. The vote is go close tia.
Hearst charges fraud md will contest
the election.
The result in New York is simply
another evidence that the people are
tired of bossism and grating. Hearst
made his fight OH these issues and an
honest count Of the vote may give him
the office.
Feeling in Now York is very strong
and Hearst il receiving the support OF
many who voted against him in his fight
against fraud. Tho Evening Post,
which opposed INN, published the tol-
lowing the day after election:
"ProlTcrs Of support have bcen com.
ing to Mr. EIcarst's Office all day. Men
who did not vote Tor him or his ticket,
who indeed, day before yesterday were
talking about anarchy. came to Pledge
themselves against what they torn IN
intoierable Oirenso against order aud the
American government What the
o%ircnsc ia, in detail, is being told in
Rfiidavits."

wish to SEQ honest elections every here.
IL nm attempt has been made 10 rob him
OF his victory, he will have tho support
Of every truo American in his fight to
protect The sacrcdncss Of the ballot box.
lilo has demanded q count OF all the
ballots.
Perhaps the greatest tight made by
any candidate in Tuesdays election was
made by District Attorney jerome Of
Now York. He ran as IN independent
candidate md his platform WAY the
record he had made as district attorney.
He was successful by n email plurality.
jerome now proposes to take IA hand IN

that he will SEQ fair play. He gave
