THE VOTE OF THE CITIES.
How It Swung Over at the Recent Elec.
(ion from the Democratic to
the Republican Column.
From the S:;n.
There ate sixty-five c'tb-s in th TTnlt
ed States havinfr more than .In.iinil In
habitants, and thfre are sixteen of this
iiiimbi r which, under. the designation
established by the amended consti.ii
t'on of New York, nte "cltl.s of the
Hist class." having inure than l'.Hi.ikiO.
At the recent election these cilies ex
ercised a more preponderating Influence
upon the result than In any p receding
election for president; and tin- tradi
tional sti i-ngtli of the Pi lnocr.itic party
'n th. m was broken for the litst time
under conditions which in view of past
records seem almost sensational.
At the three site-esslvc presiiicnt'nl
elections of istlt. 1MI-. and 1n7, the p I t
Ical fortunes of the Democratic party
were at a lower ebb than tin-y have
ever boon before or have .-Vi r been s n -.

Newark and New Haven were pi-mo-cratls
in PoS; Jersey City was Demo
cratic In presidential elections, and In
PCS MulT.il.i was carried by the Pemo
r racy by a substantial majority.
I KM n 'RATIO L( IS? KS.
These were some of the results In the
large cities, and more especially in tin
older cities of the north and north. -list.
In elections wh'-n, as wo have said, the
Jietiiocrntlc outlook was not cheerful
or cncnuraglng. Kinee the ptesbleiitial
election of s7tl. when the Democracy
was rejuvenated and practically re
created as a formidable political organ
ization throughout the union, the chief
cities of the country, both north and
south, have been generally Democratic
by majorities which have Increased
with the growth of population, Phila
delphia and Cincinnati being the ch(ef
exceptions. In the presidential elec
tion of ivy New York, Chicago, llrook
lyn. and Huston gave collectively near
ly ir.ii.nnn Democratic majority.
The recent election brought disastrous
and humiliating defeat for th" Dem
ocratic party In the large cities of the
country. New York, for the llrst time
in u presidential election in the history
of American politics, was carried by
th Republicans, or mote properly went
against the Democratic nominee. Chi
cago gave more than .Hi.fluO majority for
McKlnley and llobart; J'hiladelphla
more than lnn.ftnn. Two former Dem
ocratic strongholds, rallying points of
Democrat ie inlluence and organization,
Haitimoie nnd Louisville, went Republi
can, carrying with them the electoral
vote of the states of which they an? the
chief cities, Maryland nnd Kentucky,
the former Democratic since IslU. and
the latter Democratic since lMln. lirook
lyn. long a Democratic stronghold, was
carried for Mr. McKlnley by a major
ity larger than it ever gave a Dem
ocratic national ticket; and Iloston, on
the Democratic lead in which all hopes
of success n the state of Massacliu
si tts have been uniformly bas.-d. went
in favor of the Republicans and honest
mon.y Democrats by a majority ex
ceeding ijii.iinii. Huff alu. which hns been
generally Democratic of late years, ex
cept when Mr. Cleveland, a former resi
dent, was the Democratic nominee, nnd
then was either dose or Republican,
has now been carried by the Republi
cans! by a majority as large ns they
had In 'Cincinnati, and larger than the
majority for the Ucpu'.dic.-.a electoral
ticket In St. Louis. In fact, of all the
laig" cltl'-s, four only were not carried
bv McKlnley and llobart. These are
Washington. D. C., the citizens of which
have no vote In th- p residential elec
tion; New Orleans, Denver, nnd Salt
Lake City.
AS TO THE Ft'TrRK.
When it is und. rst I thnt It is only
through Democratic majorities In lh"
large citi"S that the contests of ti e past
twenty-live years have h t'.i maintain
ed, on the Democratic side, with nny
cbnnce of success; that the forces of
the Democracy have been recruited In
stub cities of lb.- North. West, and
Kust, nn-1 that the country districts
in nil the doubtful states have bijou
almost uniformly Republican, th" ex
tent and dimensions tf the Demo
cratic disaster of Nov. 3, IX'.ni. may be
measured and understood. Nor have
the losses In the large cities been to any
exleiit oi'Sot by gains in the country
districts, on the contrary, thes-- dis
tricts have Increased hugely t'.n-ir R -publican
had. The Slate nf Illinois
will serve as a fair Illustration of this.
In lx;''J Chicago cave a Democratic ma
jority i f ::..:. The country districts
and townships outside of the city of
Chicago gave n Republican majority
of 10.1. no. Hi" net. Democratic majority,
accordingly, beln;; li.tini). This ymr
the Republican mnjorlty In Chlcnir-i
was r,l. n). and in the counties and
townships outside of the city of Chica
