THE GULF COAST STORu

The waters adjacent TO the West Indies have
been the scene Of unusual storm development
within the last few weeks. No fewer than four
hurricanes are known to have originated there
since the middle of August whereas some sea-
sons pass without more than one being observed
The latest of these disturbances is the first to
enter the Gulf of Mexico this year. 1t devel-
Oped nearly week ago in the western part Of
the Caribbean Sea and followed northwesterly
course thereafter. Like the great majority of
other tropical cyclones, it advanced very slowly
for several days considerably more than a hun
dred hours having been spent in traversing much
less than thousand miles
This tardy progress, which is quite different
thing from the wind velOcties in the whirl ITSELF
has proved a boon to those shpmasters who
could be reached with warnings of the existence
of such source of peril. On the other hand it
prolonged the period in which it could make
mischief and that drawback was nowhere more
obvious than on the Gulf coast The contour of
the Mississippi delta cOnduces to an alarming
rise IN Lake Pontchartrain, in the rear of New
Orleans, whenever the strong eaSterly gales
which attend cyclone prevail for more than
few hours. Owing to the low level of its site,
the Crescent City IS exposed to peculiar danger
under such circumstances. It's residents doubt
less wish that tropical storms would come and
go with greater celebrity.
Livery thIIlg considered, New orleans has had q
narrow escape. 1t is said that five feet more Of
water than usual was observed in Lake Pont-
chartrain yesterday, but no flood damage OF i'm
portance has resulted. The wind was powerful
enough to PROSTATE telegraph wires between the
Crescent City and Pensacola and thus to excite
grave apprehensions for few hours, but there
has been nothing like a repetition of Hong
Kong's experience of last week. The chief CEN
tire of population on the Gulf coast and one of
the leading seaports of the country has rather
narrowly escaped great calamity.

THE REPUBLICAN RECORD.

Senator Armstrong IN his speech before the
state convention effectively reviewed a history
OF Republican performance which Republicans
should not fail TO keep before the minds OF the
voters In the coming campaign. The Repub-
heans do not come before the people In any
apologize mood They feel that they have
given the state twelve years Of good steward
ship end shown a capacity to appreciate the
needs Of the hour and rise TO the demands of
every new situation Our respectable Demo
cratic friends who rejoice in the nomination of
Mr.. Hughes Will without question cOncede the
latter claim. The Republican party has had
character enough and intelligence enough to do
its own housekeeping whenever as is period
tcally the case with all organizations such q
process has become desirable. 1t has responded
to the best light given it in naming a candidate
fitted 20 lead a movement which transcends
party lines. Democrats may not feel SO ready TO
acknowledge their satisfaction with the past, but
may be inclined TO protest that they support Mr.
Hughes In spite OF 1t. That will not be strange.
Something must be allowed TO party prejudice
and habit Yet we think, when they impartialIy
review the history of the state in the last twelve
years and contrast It with the story Of the years
before it. they will find that, in spite of some
actions which they disapprove the general trend
OF Republican legislative and administrative ef-
fort has been upward, while that Of the last ten
years of Democratic rule was downward.
No candid Republican will say that mistakes
have not been made in those twelve years, that
bad bills have not been put through and good
ones defeated. No session OF the Legislature has
passed In all those years in which The Tribune
has not frankly condemned measures adopted
urged measures which failed and criticised
the errors or misdeeds Of selfish and short
sighted officials No government ever yet ex-
listed which could not truthfully confess that
IL had done things which 1t ought not 70 have
done and left undoDe things which IL ought
10 have done. Yet Republicans may with 4
clear conscience say that the state has greatly
prohted by their work, that on the whole
the task Of administration has been performed
faithfully and intellgently, and that the govern
Enent more nearly than ever before responds to
the best aspirations of the people. We are GER
tain that no government which ever existed in
New York State from the time OF George Clinton
onward for many years could be restored to-day
without the peoples finding that IL did their
work less efficiently and less honestly and far
less perfectly conforned 10 their idea OF what
government should be-than does that which the
Republican party is now giving.
The moral standards Of the community are
improving. What passed as even reform ad-
minisuation twenty five years ago would tO-daF

THE HEARST NOMINATION

The Democratic party OF this state has been sold

NO THIRD TICKET.

The decision of the anti-Hearst Democrats
to put no independent Democratic ticket In the
field Is sensible and will be approved by all the
elements in the state which have at heart the
cause of decent and orderly government There
is no logical basis for an independent Demo-
cratic movement. The anti-Hearst men were
beaten at Buffalo after contest in which they
originally possessed all the party machinery
They were beaten before a single contested
delegate was seated and can make no convinc-
ing fight on the ground of defeat through fraud
or trickery, Notwithstanding the outrageous
fashion in which the contests were decided
Democrats who value regularity above every
thing else will acquiesce In a choice which they
regret. Democrats who put their own convic-
lions above partisan attachments will seek to
defeat Mr.. Hearst not because he has won a
nomination by abhorrent methods, but because
he deserves to be defeated, however regularly
nominated. Their proper course is plain and
simple. In Mr.. Hughes they have a candidate
who stands for all that Mr.. Hearst opposes and
opposes all that Mr.. Hearst stands for. They
can vote for him broad grounds of public
duty, in cause which is larger than party and
which is already wping out party lines. They
will make their votes twice as effective against
Hearst by supporting Hughes and not Demo
cratic candidate of their own, certain to run
poor third In the race. Democratic newspapers
and Democratic voters are taking this view
and are to be commended for it. Mr.. Hearst
can be surely and decisvely beaten by hard
work and by the cooperation of all the forces
arrayed on the side of stability and order To
divide the opposition to him and what he rep
resents would be a serious mistake.
