The New York Herald asserts that President Cleveland’s defeat is attributable to Hewitt: splitting the democratic vote and it considers that possibly the democrats have a majority in representation. The Tribune states that the republican victory is due to the policy of Liberty and Protection. Its general comments indicate that an anti British feeling influenced the election. President Cleveland secured a majority in the North. New York determined the result.
