HEARST IN THE GAME:
Randolph Hearst. the most promin-
ent radical In the country, has ac-
cepted the nomination OF the mdepend-
ents as Mayor OF New York. and
brought about the endorsement by
them OF the entire Republican ticket.
except for the office OF Mayor. This
makes a very peculiar situation.
There are three nominees for mayor
Gaynor, Tammany; Barnard, Repub-
llcan; and Hearst, but only two tick
cts for the other offices. Tammany
consented TO nominate Gaynor who
Is a good man for Mayor, with the
idea that II would be better TO put
up with a good Mayor than loose the
whole ticket. Hearst will draw many
votes from the whole Tammany ticket
to the Republican list, and probably
elect It. but as the Republican and
Independent vote viii be divided be-
tween himself and Barnard. Gaynor
will probably be elected Mayor, with
a full Republican ticket This will be
fortunate for the City. for tho not
a Republican. Gaynor is honest and
Barnard has never had a chance of
an election, anyway. There is some
talk OF his Withdrawing in favor OF
Hearst, In which case Hearst will al
most surely be elected.
MORSE MUST SERvE:-The U. S.
Circuit Court has decided against c.
W. Morse. the prominent financier.
who was convicted of wrecking his
banks, and he must go 10 the peniten-
tiary. unless the Supreme Court saves
him which Is not likely. IL Is always
a comfort to see some OF the big
thieves get what is coming to them.
