New York. Nov. IA wave of re-
volt against boss rule seems to have
swept through the country, and 1t is
safe to say that todays election will
give conclusive evidence that the citi-
zens, irrespective of party Affiliations,
are thoroughly disgusted with boss
ism and the Political corruption which
invariably goes hand in hand with
boss rule, and are determined to put
an end to grating and other forms OF
corruption in municipal and state mat
ters. The fight in New York is
three-cornered one, with an important
side issue in connection with the can
didacy of Jerome for the district at
torneyship. Both the republicans and
independents, who are supporting
Heartst, the sponsor of municipal own
ership. are making a determined fight
against Mcclellan, the Tammany can
didate for mayor. But the fight is not
alone against Charles F. Murphy, the
leader of Tammany, but also against
B. B. Odell, Jr., the head of the re-
publican machine. and Louis f. Haf-
fen. the political dictator of the
Bronx. 1t is a fight against boss rule
in general and Tammany in particu-
lar.
jerome Makes Discovery.
q, Election day dawned clear this
morning, with indications of full
vote. The exposure by Jerome last
night of the alleged plot by which 6OO,-
circulars were to have been distrib-
uted among voters estensibly illus
tratipg how to vote for Jerome as a
split ticket but with directions which
if followed. would invalidate the
ticket. served to increase the
fear of jobbery at the polls and in the
count. The republican county com
mittee takes a different view of the
matter, and says such markings would
be counted.
