THE PEOPLE RULE IN NEW YORK.

1t is admitted on all sides that this
has been bad year for bosses and
machines, big and small The people
have ruled from one end Of the coun.
try to the other. They have retired
reactionaries or administered severe
rebukes to them. They have, especial
Iy where the direct primary prevails,
secured the nomination Of ftter and
more progressive men and. through the
advisory vote, invaded even the august
federal senate.
The denomination OF Governor
Hughes by the New York Republican
convention, as Mr.. Wellman has shown
In his graphic and admirable dispatch
es. is striking triumph for public
opinion. There is no direct primary in
that state. though Hughes has Wig
orously fought for one. thereby adding
to the disgust Of the machine politi-
clans and the tools Of the greedy and
ccntrolresisting special interests. The
rank and file Of the disinterested Re-
publican element had to work indirect
ly and to thwart all sorts of tricks
and stratagems. But they have en-
forced their Will and obtained the un-
conditional surrender of the bosses.
Governor Hughes has been renomi-
mated by the people, and renominated
on his record. He ia Identified with
sound and proper policies and with
dignihed and clean methods. He has
stood for corporate honesty. for obeni-
ence to law. for legitimate protection
Of the public interests. for sane regu-
lation of the things needing direction
and supervision. and for official intse-
rity and Independence.
Irrespective Of the national sisniN.
cameo Of his nomination, the people n
New York are to be heartily congrA&u.
lated on the outcome Of the long and
uncertain struggle. The slsctioa d
Hughes would mean the clinching and
logical extensions Of the Hughes poli
