A SPLENDID TRIUMPH

The defeat of George w. Aldridge in the Thirty second Congressional District yesterday by crushing ma jority was not strictly 8 Democrat tic victory. It was not a Republican vic- tory, though won by Republican votes and welcomed today by Republicans throughout the State; and though the Republican party will profit by it, it was a triumph of bipartisan public opinion. It was well-airned and heavy blow at the Machine.
 Aldridge got not a few Democratic votes. Controlling absolutely the Re- publican machine, he wie1ded a pot ent influence also in that of the Democrats; for a shrewd Boss never neglects a minority. He had the sup port of important business interests, for reasons with which partisanship has nothing to do, and which were not always advertised. He knew ev- swing elections, and in his despera- tton at the last he neglected none. And yet the campaign so jauntily be- gun to round out his political career has wrought his disastrous downfall in spite of everything, with shift in the balance of 10000 votes.
 The tariff issue, used with such telling effect by Mr. Toss in the Ply mouth Rock district of Massachu- sets, undoubtedly contributed to the result. Rochester does not differ from Boston or Kansas City in re- senting the broken pledges of the Republican party in Washington. Dis gust at the blindness and obstinacy of the machine men in Albany had also it's effect. But in the vote yes terday,. as in the canvass, the moral issue which sA1dridge himself raised by his candidacy was paramount. The flower of the Republican party in an exceptionally intelligent community showed what they thought of the conduct of the Boss in selling their organiza ton to an enemy of the State for Kennedy's $1,000 check. And for this much credit is due them.
 The value of this victory is not that it keeps one George Aldridge out of Congress. It is in the warning it gives hundred A1dridges-for the breed has been common-tnat their time is nearly up. It lies in the re- newed proof it offers that the people are awake to the menace of the ma chine and firm in their determination to maintain decent representative government.-N. Y. World.

fight for money is said to have brought
him 81. The largest purse which he
ever fought was $4,000, in his first
bout with Nelson. OF this Cans re-
ceived but $1,000, he having agreed
to give Nelson the remainder-wIn,
