The Record Left by Mr.. Whitman.

There can be no question that
CHARLES s. WHITMAN leaves behind
him remarkable record Of accomplish.
ment In the District Attorneys office.
Although his showiest feats were in
earlier parts of his service, last years
figures, just published. prove that there
was no relaxation In his efforts or re-
duction In his successes. The disposal
of 33,a28 cases In year. with 1890
convictions represents an extraordi.
nary amount of work and II. suggests
that very moderate policy was pur.
sued under which punishment of real
guilt and not record Of verdicts was
the object aimed at.
The homicide cases are particularly
impressive. sixty convictions within
the year, including six for first degree
and fifteen for second degree murder,
should have very discouraging effect
on evildoers inspired to kill. The total
of 232 homicide convictions during Mr..
WHITMAS's i've years In Office repre-
sents warfare against this form Of
crime deserving of the highest praise.
1t may fairly. be said that Mr.. WHIT
MAN never lost n murder case of i'm.
portance.
Governor WHIIMAN's successor, Mr..
CHARLES 4. PERKINS, has had the nd
vantage OF working with him In the
District Attorneys office. He has had
under close observation the methods by
which the great record has been made.
From him also the people of New York
will expect accomplishment. The IN.
firing prosecution OF real criminals. the
skilful and moderate presentation OF
cases so that jurics may be convinced
and the higher courts not placed In the
position OF having to undo the work,
constitute the whitman agencies of
success. BY sticking TO them Mr.. PER.
KINs may also earn the gratitude OF
the public.

plies that hie opponents Of two months ago

Are we, then. to conclude that friends

have closed. and that the proper. sources
whence to obtain inspiration for our
guidance are those that showed most
bitterness and ennity a month or 20 ago?
Is this the meaning of events that to
succeed in politics man must turn his
back upon his friends and shape his con-
duct after an election so as to please the
men who did what they could TO bring
him to defeat?
Another question also is involved: Is

from offering advice" to officials whose
