emily is elected lieutenant governor on the
ocratic-Independence league ticket by

not believed they will materially reduce

rslities

District Attorney Jerome made the fol-
lowing comments on the election:
IF Hearst had not undertaken TO sand
bag the Democratic party into accepting
him and had made himself an integral
part OF the Democratic party, the result.
IN my opinion, would have been a sweep
ing Democratic victory. He would have
a powerful and important position in II.
He did not take that course. however,
and don't see how he can become a can
ddate in the Democratic party again.
THE American people are always will
Ing 10 forget and forgive. Hearst can do
much good yet. His papers have power
ful influence, and II he handles himself
with good poise and judgment In matters
generally, no can accomplish much good
lie must abandon the wholesale abuse OF
anybody and everything and must con,
fine himself to attacking I'm a clean way
the abuses which he wants TO assail His
past offences will then be forgotten and
forgiven He could be OF service to the
organization. He must decide his course.

London. Nov. 9.-The Dublin correspond
ent OF the Standard telegraphs an inter-
view with Richard Croker on the result
az the election I'm New York state. Mr.
Croker said the outcome was much In ac-
cordance with his expectations.
II think tn election will prove a con-
siderable education To Hearst" said Mr.
Croker, ''and I am sure he will profit by
81, although defeated In my opinion. Mr.
Hearst is bound to be a factor In politics.
If he could have held his own vote, and II
he had had the support OF independent
laboring men. | believe he would have
been elected by 10000 plurality. lie has
made a remarkably good fight and he has
reason to be proud OF it,"
Mr. Croker declined to discuss the pres
ent management OF Tammany Hall.
