WHY MR. HeARsr

LOST.
 Since the day after the election tn newspapers have been busy telling why Mir. Hearst failed to be elected governor of New York. while all the rest of the democratic ticket was sue cessful. Mir. Jerome, one of those who bolted Hearst, gives "a good reason iwhen he says:
 If Hearst had not undertaken to sandbag the democratic party into accepting him and made himself an intergrsi part of the democratic par ty the result, in my opinion, would have been 8 sweeping democratic vic tory
 | But this Is not all the reason. Nr. Bryan analyzirg the New York result is right when he says that 1t was a complete democratic victory e o principles, but not personal victory for the head of the ticket. The boss es." McCarren, Mcclellan, Jerome. Croker and insincere Murphy contrib uted to Hearst's defeat
 It was a personal fight agaiast Mir. Hearst. who after bolting the party in the mayorality contest, forced the leaders to give him the nomination for governor and then mads himself and his personality unacceptable to many democrats.
 From his appearance in the gsber- .natorial campaign, says the Houston Post, he exalted his personality at the expense of the party and he ex- plotted his personal views. phrased to appeal to the discontented, in pre- ference to the bedrock principles of the democratic party. That orderly victory could emerge from chaos he precipitated was impossible. Having himself set the example of bolting, democrats followed suit and bolted by the thousands. For every republican malcontent he won by his peculiar ap-
 peals to passion he drove away two democrats who would have rejoiced
 'R an opportunity to vote for a gen.
 ire democrat. The more he forced
 AIS personality to the front ond dem ocratic principles to the rear. his can
 didacy lost in strength. The fact tha.
 he ran behind the state democratic
 ticket speaks tor itself.
 The episode of Hearst's candiddacy
 is a frightful blow to the cause o
 democracy in New York, and its bale
 ful influence has contributed not lit
 tie to the disasters which overtoea
 the party elsewhere, for the countr. understood pretty wei that New Yor1 was but an incident in He&st'i scheme of political empire.
 Democratic rehabilitation in thu
 North will never be accomplisheS through the efforts and influence o {, mon like Hearst Granting all ths
 his partisans may say about his sek
 advertised philanthropies, his loudl!
 heralded expenditures in pursuit O y trusts. his boasted sympathy with tn, a oppressed public. his method of pros q ecuting his political aims and pm 9 poses can not but alarm thoughttu citizens. In the conflict betvee1 9 capital and labor, his policy is to CT r. etc and enrage labor. whereas th. I situation demands the services of P statesman who can reconcile and sd g just.
 g It is impossible to measure him b! S any standard of accepted statesman S ship. His sole hobby, beyond tn, S appetite for political honor, is t d smash things that may not conform E. to his way of thinking and destro. S men who refuse to acknowledge hi
 greatness. Bryan penniless obtained |. a nomination for the presidenc.
 through the force of AIS character an'
 genius. Hearst penniless would at
 tract no more attention in this coun try than the most obscure agitator O . the East Side.
