thinks that is sufficient without argument"
The gentleman who made this statement Is OF the

seemed quito confident that Mr.. Murphy would be
warmly supported In the upper and interior Counties
| Notwithstanding his residence 10 Brooklyn. In his
opinion the statements made by John Kelly concerning
certain Democrats identified with the canal Interests
would be used against Mr. Kellys candidate. The state

interview with Mr. Kelly. In this alleged interview
Mr. Kelly was represented as characterizing several
leading Democrats from the interior members OF
