OF
THE late ELECTIONS
Defeat of Burton Is Sore Blow
to President and Mr.. 81
Taft.
DEMOCRATS LOSE KENTUCKY
Maryland Results Important as
Forecast OF Elimination of
Negro from Politics.
Times-Dispatch Bureau.
Munsey Building,

+
The loss of kentucky Is the fly In
Democratic ointment day. Judging
by Democratic comment on the results
of elections yesterday. But this Is to
be said, that while the Blue Grass
State has gone Republican, the fact
does not give nearly the consolation to
Republicans necessary to relieve the
hurt OF the defeat of Burton for the
Cleveland mayoralty. The Kentucky
Legislature Will elect Democratic
Senator this winter.
Representative Burton made the race
at the solicitation almost at the com.
mandy of President Roosevelt. who is
his warm personal friend. The Presi-
dent has exerted all the power Of the
SO far as 1t could be
applied in Cleveland, to bring about
the election of the Republican Rcandt-
date and overthrow Tom johnson. Tie
failure of candidate thus strongly
backed cannot be looked upon as being
anything else than direct blow at the
national administration.
Mnrylnnd to Cut Out Negro.
The result In Maryland has also
much the same Significance. The State
Of MARYLAND has been doubtful In poli-
tics for some years. 1t gave an elec.
toral vote to Mr.. Roosevelt In the last
presidential election. 1t will hardly
be doubtful for some years to come,
according to declarations of Maryland
Democrats discussing the election
prior to yesterday. The administra-
,tion took Il hand in the Maryland con-
test. Attorney-General Bonaparte. u
citizen OF Baltimore. made several
speeches in the campaign, and other
Federal ofliceholders did likewise. The
Democrats swept the State.
The negro was the leading issue In
the campaign. The Democrats have
been trying for years to eliminate him
from the electorate, as has been done
In so many other Southern States.
This is now regarded as certain to be
done.
President Hit In Ncw York.
The defeat of the President in New
York by the election of the Democra-
tic candidates for places on tho bench
I of the Court Of Appeals Is regarded as
being of much Significance. The com.
bination of Republicans and members
or the Independence League was un-
able to make u decent showing as
against the Democrats alone. The
President has never admitted that he
was in any way responsible for this
combination. Neither has Governor
Hughes confessed to having been a

Republican State Chairman, has always

At The hour of II o'clock yesterday

who introduced the resolution paying
tribute to this efficient parlimentari-

sadness in his voice as he recalled the
Intimate relations between the late
clerk and himself. Being mem bers of
the same political party they were
drawn in close contact with each other
and the delegate from Jefferson spoke
OF these relations with much feeling.
He wss followed by Mr.. Kenney, also
OF the same political faith as the late
