THE NEW YORK ELECTION.
DID the Voters Protest Against Tamnsny
and Sing Sing on the Side?

| To THE EDITOR or THE SuN-Sr. The
! voters Of New York have expressed their
! judgment as to whether they shall indorse

nor by the grace of Murphy. Whether the
30 installed Governor was a party to the
Sulzer removal incident or not Is not VI

istered to the Tammany Assembly at the
lsl3 election indicated the voters views
ana caused those in power at Albany to
see light and at once reform and ad
vanced measures were passed. the passers
thereof claiming full credit.
me average voter attributed the pas
sage OF such legislation not 80 much to a
desire To promote the States welfare as
10 desire To make Use OF progressive
reforms enacted in an appeal to the peo-
pie Tor continuance in office despite the
most atrocious earlier performances. How
ever, the voters have Just repeated the
spanking of the Tammnny candidates for

include those for the Senate as well as
the entire state ticket, showing that de-
spite all belief TO the contrary, voters do
sometimes remember and surprisingly II
ought not to be remarkable that voters
should fail to indorse the candidates OF a
political party which apparently has
branch headquarters at Sing Sing prison.
Yet these connections are frequently lost

To THE EDITOR or THE SuN-Str: | am
not blind 10 the fact that in the minds OF
a large number OF people Mr. Murphy
has suffered IN his capacity as leader and
mas ceased to bring strength to the or
ganlzation." There Is nothing unusual in
such a condition. for thu reason. as we all
Know. that every man who has ever been
A leader OF great political organization
has In time 5rcom" unpopular
Any suggestion. however. that looks
toward tn" forced removal Of MIR Murphy
from the leadership OF the Democratic
party IN this State is the veriest twaddl..
for the reason that there has been no
time In all OF his political career AT which
ne was AS strongly intrcuched In his lead
ership as no IL to-day.
There was a time when he could have
been shorn %: his power without much
difficulty. and that was about January of
last year, when the Mitchell administra-
tion came into power Mayor Mitchell was
elected with Mr. Murphy as the issue
ana WAS Overwhelmingly elected on that
issue Naturally. people who follow the
course of political events felt that tn. new
administration would follow up its line
OF attack and take advantage OF It's VIC
tory. Had II done ~ the Democratic or
sanization could have been taken away
from Mr.. Murphy and placed behind and
Az support 10 the new Mayor No adj
vantage however, was taken of tho op-
portunity but on the contrary the In
coming administration abandoned the
leid that II had so successfully won Al
