The result in Pennsylvania is q dis
unct disappointment to those who hoped
for the rebuke Of serious administrative
scandals by the overthrow of the party
whose representatives were responsible
for them. But that there is another side
to the defeat Of the fusion ticket may be
gathered from this comment Of the Phila-
deIphia Ledger on the state election.
"The independent movement which took form un-
der the name Of the Lincoln party has been abund-
antly jus;ifcd-and IN a sense triumphsut-eFen
though it has failed to elect its candidate for gov
crnor To have forced the nomination Cf SO upright
a candidate 4ir stuart was its first Success; 10
have pressed this candidate 50 hard that he has
pulled through only by assurances Of his inGepend-
euce Of the organization is 20 have achieved a
large part # its real purpose For Stuart Is not
man who VIII regard his own campaign pledges
lightly and in the face of this great opposition vote
he could not disregard them if he would"
This is an encouraging view Of the stu
alton in the Keystone State. Mr.. Stuart
has not only given pledges that ne Will
be independent Of evil influences in the
gubernatoriaI chair, but he has also
pledged himself to uncover the scandals
growing out Of the construction Of the
new capitol building, and so, after ALL
Pennsylvania may be redeemed from
some Of her political disgrace
As seen by the Ledger, the Pennsyl-
vania election furnishes striking nlustra-
tion Of the value Of an honest and we'll
directed party of opposition. Even when
it fails to land its candidates in Office
the opposition often, as in this instance,
renders a great public service. The ef-
forts Of the Pennsylvania fusionists, we
are glad TO learn. have not been alto
gether in vain, for they have extracted
some good out OF what seemed an IN
promising situation.
