What Democrats voted the Repub-
lean ticket evidently used good
judgment any way.

Tammany is dead one, when it
comes to York State politics. The
people Of the Empire state do not
believe in that organization any
more. Who blames them2
All over the state compliments
are being passed on Harrison county
for her good work Tuesday. We
extend thanks for these in behalf Of
the people Of the county.
The News is still sore on Hart,
as shown by the fact that it cuts his
majority down an hundred, but that
does not hurt Hart, nor does it con-
sole the man Hart defeated.
As we understood it from the
Democratic organ the clique was go
ing to win this time, but it went
only to the grave. It is dead and
the people say it is going to stay
dead.
It is quite evident the Demo
cratic clique sheet with the clique
now defunct) is greatly. dispIeasea
with Elk district. There was not
the Democratic vote there that was
expected.
Candidate Riley will not take a
back seat, except in two years he
NAV follow the fashion of Prof.
Barnes by telling a Democratic con-
vention that he ran ahead of his
ticket and is glad of it.
If we could but recall all the
ridiculous assertions the News made
before the election and its fake
claims as well, the Telegram for
a few days would devote a page en-
titled Democratic Hee Having Be

Hearst says he is going to fight
on. This may mean that the blood
of Jeffersonim Democracy has come
back TO his veins. If so, he has
thrown his Independence League.
Just like lie would do any thing and
any body for Hearst
All the Observation-Disclosures
were elected before The election ac-
eording TO Democratic papers and
speakers and according 10 them non2
Of the Democratic candidates were
elected after the election. 1t is \
state Of affairs perfectly satisfactory
to The Republicans.
ii is a good thing the man thai
bets did not take the News as poll
teal prognosticator. unless he real
" wanted to lose his money And
still they do say a few of the Gun
terrified. are saving some mean
THINGS about that paper in this re-
speet.
Before The election. according to
the mouthpiece Of the defnnct clique
the Republicans were to be defeat
ed this year. Now. that paper says
that is 10 be two wears hence. It
appears its calendar is somewhat
out of time.
Several sections Of the county
that were going Democratic ac-
cording to the News. did not go that
way. They never intended to do so,
and none knew it better than the
News. As We said the Democratic
campaign was mere bluff and bus
Ter.
The News SAYS the Democrats be-
Eevo tbey can do something hereaf-
Ter in this county by nominating
'honest men and by conducting an
honest and high toned campaign
The Inference is strong from this
statement that the News believes
that was not the case with the Dem
ocrats in this county this year and
years past. It may be so. but it Is
not our funeral.
About the only soothing thing the
Democratic organ can say to the late
Democratic candidates now is that
they deserveto be congratulated for
the numbersof votes they did get.
If that is any solace TO. them, the
Telegram assures them they are we;-
come TO it. but certainly the Demo-
cratic paper ought TO 90 one better
