Lessons From the Recent Election—W. R.
I Hearst for President.
j Wa.shingrton Corres])ondence of the
j Sylvan Valley Ni-nvs.
I Thiy election teaches a levSson, and
I it may be summed up briefly. It
j has made some men and lias put oth
ers very much on the “t»link,” so to
speak. Tlie result in M;issachusetts
teaches us that tlu? so c.illed reoruan-
ized democracy which controlled
thiiifis in that state cannot wMii with
out the rank and tile of the party that
stood h\vally to the ticket in the
years of 18i)() and 11)00, and it is be
lieved tliat a good many of them
went tishing on election day. There
will, it is confidently l>elieved hy
many leader.^ of the party here, be a
repetition of this piscatorial eiier<j;y
on the part of thotisands of demo
crats all over the east next year
'hould tlie democracy nominate such
a man for the i>residency. The re
sult in the city of Xew' York means
many things for many people.
It means that Charles K. Murpliy,
the new leader of Tammany Hall,
who managed the camp,lign, if one
of the biggest figures in New York
City politics to-day. It moans that
old Jioss Mcrjau^hiin, who tor so
many years has coniroll(*d the desti-
aies of the deinoeracy in the city oJ
Urooklyn, is ji “ileadone” and uevei
attain will lu‘ figure in national
politics or in the jiolitics of the
fiiy of (;reat(*r X e w York.
II is place has b;^('u taken by Statt'
.Senator i’atrick H. .McCarren who
liitherto has be(*n one ('t the old
man’s stn nnclu'st .'^upi>!>rU‘i< a.i-i aide
leiitenants. It means tiiat 'lam-
man\’ has absohr.e cniiti!)! in IV/oo!;-

ally tied up in a nice package and
handed to the democracy another
and a corking good campaign is
sue in this dirty mess in the Pan
ama country. It is the belief
here not o ly among democrats,
but among many good republi
cans. that the recent revolution
in the United States of Columbia
in Central America, was hatched
in this country and at the instiga
tion of this republican adminis-
ti’ation in order to get control of
the Panama canal. In othei*
w’ords. the game put u]:) in the
Senate to get the usufruct out of
those Panama canal bonds has
got to go through at any cost.
Thi-3 republican administration
plays into their hands and indicts
revolution down there and robs
that little country of a slice of
its territory in order to give the
senatorial cabal its rake off. How
are they going to get away from
the imputation that they are re-
si)onsible for this revolution^ If
they are not, then there must be
some ex[)ert mind-readers in the
Navy Department, f(u* no sooner
had the lirst rumblings of this
trouble between Columbia and
(me of its states been wafted over
the earth than this country had
several naval vessels at the pro[>-
er point in a j}ffy in order to |)ut
backbone int tlie revolutionists
and to intimidate the Columbian
Forces. Tlien this government
makes haste to “recognize” tht*
new Republic of Panama. It is
an infernal outrage and a national
disgrace.
