The Herald had time to get up two columns of edit oral comment on "Hughes the Victor," and so amply content was it with everything (hat it even dropped a few generous words for Mr. Wilson, quite contrary to its wont. The Times, a sturdy champion of the president, but always conventional and easily adaptable to an administration in the Interest of "the interests," rolled out a handsomely turned analysis of "The Republican Triumph." The World, consistently and powerfully a support? er of the Wilson administration, and, perhaps, the leading Democratic news? paper in the country, lamented, in moving terms "A Leap in the Dark," declaring that "Germany divides with Wall street and reaction the glory of yesterday's, election." The Sun, al? ways reactionary and mean, and of late years paltry, celebrated "The Writ of Ejectment." The business was done, Wilson was < 'it and over, and the Republicans were again to rule over us. New York, New Jersey, Indiana, Illinois and Connecticut had spoken. Ihe metropolitan districts had prouonced th<> verdict. There was nothing more to it.
