! III as II ne nad not passed through a
gruelhng campaign, at the end of which
he was beaten. although his associates
! on the ticket were elected because Of the
/ Hearst Endorsement
The delightful philosophy of Mr.. Ban
nard. which endeared him TO all who
| came in contact with him during the
! campaign, brought uppermost in his
mind the fact that his associates had
! been elected. In that he rejoiced. 1t
also showed him that he had escaped a
deal Of hard labor and worry, and that
! he was going back to the work that he

Everybody connected with the New

! yesterday because Mr.. Barnard was
back with them again. The board Of
directors at a meeting in the afternoon
/ congra tulated themselves on Mr.. Ban

delighted at the great victory of my as
sociates on the fusion ticket I rejoice
that we elected a fusion Board of Esti-

to assert that he would have won if
I hea
rest Of the fusion ticket owes a great
[ deal TO him." he added, for the support
he gave to it,
Mr.. Barnard said IL would be the duty
Of every good citizen to do all in his
power to make the administration of
Judge Gaynor a success. In answer to
the message OF congratulation sent to
Judge Gaynor by Mr.. Barnard on Tues
day night he received the following re-
ply yesterday:
Sincere thanks for your telegram"
1t took some time for Mr.. Barnard to
get through the mass of letters and teIe-
grams on his desk, which contained con-
| gratulations for him on the good fight
he had made, and assured him that he
had done a great work in the cause of
civic betterment, Among those who sent
such messages were Attorney General
Wickersham NJ Linn Bruce, Seth Low
and Jacob H Schiff Here are almost
as many letters as if I had been elect
ed" said Mr. Barnard, with a smile.
On Tuesday night Mr.. Barnard con-
graduated Mr.. Prendergast and Mr..
Mitchell on their election. Yesterday he
sent letters of congratulation TO all the
successful candidates on the fusion
ticket. including aldermen and members
of the Assembly.
Although he appreciates that the Re
publican districts did not give him their
full strength, Mr. Barnard does not be-
lieve it was due to any lack of effort on
the part of the leaders in the organiza-
ton. Take my own district, for in
stance" he said My vote there was
not what we expected, but many Of the
Hebrews voted for Hearst"
This afternoon Mr.. Barnard viii start
for Milwaukee on the Twentieth Cen
tury Limited. where he goes TO attend
the wedding OF a niece. He expects TO
return on Tuesday.
PARSONS PLEASED.

County Committee who went to Albany
yesterday morning TO attend the funeral
Of Controller Gaus, returned last night
on the Empire State Express. He had
time on the train to study the figures on
AL The candidates. and expressed him
self IS more than satisfied with the re-
suit except, Of course. the defeat Of Mr..
Barnard
1T is really a tremendous victory" he
said, although feel bitterly the defeat
Of Mr.. Barnard. 1t was his running,
however. which aided materially in our
ACCOMPLISHMENT Last night 1 was taken
up largely with disappointment over the
defeat of Mr.. Barnard, so that 1 did not
express my appreciation Of the magni-
tude Of our victory. II means great
deal to this city 20 have routed Tam
many so utterly. and at the same time
TO have placed IN Office such good men
as were elected on the fusion ticket The
people will appreciate that more and
more as time goes on. Tammany is
weakened and the forces Of good govern
nent are strengthened"
Asked regarding the part that Hearst
played in the fight, Mr.. Parsons said:
Hearst undoubtedly was an important
factor in the result But OF course. his
cutting into the Barnard vote helped
Gaynor."
Speaking of the disappointing vote for
Barnard in strong Republican districts
Mr.. Parsons said it was not due to lack
Of work on the part of the Republican
leaders IN many ways we made a
harder fight than ever before" he said
"Gaynor got more votes in Republican
districts than we expected, and Hearst
seemed to cut materially into the Ban
nard vote there. Just what operated TO
cause this is hard to say"
