THE NEW GOTERNOR.

Mr. Hughes enters to-day upon the Governor
chip as the heir OF great expectations and great
difficulties II may fairly be said that his great
est difficulty springs from these expectations.
He is, IT is true. surrounded by body Of state
officials belonging to the political opposition and
by no means anxious TO cooperate with him for
the success of his administration. He must, in
a large measure, bear the responsibility for the
conduct of the state government, yet he will
have no effective control over the expenditure
on the great canal improvement and the good
roads work: and though he may obtain legal adj
vice concerning executive problems from his
own counsel, yet other state officers, including
his own appointees. Will be dependent for advice
and for the management OF litigation upon an
Attorney General not ia sympathy with him.
All this makes 4 situation which cannot fail
TO be annoying at best and which may In certain
contingencies be dangerous Mr.. Hughes has
also the difficult problem of leading the poll
tcians of his own party. who. like all politicians
are likely to be slow in responding to new de-
mands and new ideas such as AIr. Hughes repre-
sents. These men are governed. in the main, by
an honest conservatism rather than by any de
liberate desire 10 block good government and
much skill is required 10 convince them that
changes are needed and that they can be made
without shaking the political foundations which
by habit and tradition are sacred in their eyes
his own party and working with associates of
the opposition is small beside that of meeting
expectations founded ou demands for the i'm
possible. Our neighbor "The Globe the other
cay happily characterized one assistant of the
peanut politician as ''the peanut reformer" and
Mr.. Hughes Is already face TO face with peanut
reformers. They have begun to set I'D their little
shibboleths and TO announce that Governor
Hughes must fail TO appoint this person or must
Dc rude 10 that person, or do some other one
particular thing under pain of being removed
from their good books. They cannot take 8 large
view OF the situation. They cannot realize that
tie success of Mr. Hughess administration de.
penIs on using and harmonizing as best he NAV
the fcrces at his command. They have no idea
or real constructive craftsmanship They want
reiorner 10 run amuck, and are more intent
on criucising him and attacking his motives
when ne does not chance TO agree with Them i'm
every particular than on cooperating with him
TO carry out farseeing and practical policy.
MI Roosevelt met reformers of this sort when
he was in Albany, aud his failure to smash the
Republican party 10 pieces still rankles in their
bosoms- Governor Hughes will have TO meet
them and be prepared for criticism as excessive
as has been their aduation the moment he does
not lend himself 10 the policy OF political de-
stfuction and revenge.
