SENATOR BOYD's RESOLUTION AND ITS OBJECT
TAMMANYs CLEVER sCnEMr-THE DEBATE.
FROM THE REGULAR CoRREsroNpENT or THE rRIBvHEI
ALBANY, Jan. 3.-Thc Tammany Hall Democrats
are employing the Anti-Monopoly" cry more and
more in their conflict with thoir fellow Democrats
ever the organization of the legislature They are
also making sllilul use OF one of their number,
Senator Boyd who is identified closer with the
Autobiography League than any other man in the
Legislature. The League nominated Boyc, who Is
their secretary. before the Iammaly Senatorial
Convention in the Vth District met. During the
interval the Coanty Democracy renominated Sena-
tor Hogan man of immense popularity among thc
Irish population of the district, which Is chiefly
composed of the lower warls of New York, although
Richmond County forms part of it. In orderto
defeat Hogan the rammany Senatorial Convention
approved the nomination OF Boyd, and charged
Hogan with being tool Of the corporations. The
chief argument used to prove this was llogan's
vote against reducing the fare on the elevated
railroads Of New-York to a uniform rate Of ) cents
Among the poor people of the district this was
convincing argument To the intense astVnishInent
OF every politician Hogan WAS defeated.
Tammany then prepared to use Boyd for " all he
was worth" at Albany. The man is a physician 10y
profession ana appears to be an honest fanatic on
the monopoly issue if there Is one. FOR the past
week he has been the centre Of interest at the Della
van House. 4 man of medium height. thickSet,
wearing a black broaicoth suit, with MS eye
glasses and dreamy expression OF face, he appears
at FIRST glance to be either Methodist minister or
a schooltcacher. lie has a broad face is clean
shavcn. with the exception of slight mOustache,
JIts iru1u nd
chin betokea great resolution Introduced to
stranger if the most distant ausion is made TO the
legislature Inc at cnce pluugcs into a speech on the
"anti-monOpoy issue - and what ne intends to say
regarding it in the Capitol He mas favored several
persons with long speeches on this topic, to the
great wonder Of the crowds that fiji the DeIavan
House corridor before the meeting of a Legislature.
Apparently he has read all the Grecnhack and
Anti-Nionopolv newspapers of ten years back for
his tongue trips OF all their favoritc agumeuts
regarding the depravty of corporations.
As already stated Tammany has used him with
great effect in its struggle with tine County Deuo-
Gratis. If there was man TO be prescribed as a
candidate for President pro tfppo,e OF the Senate,
Boyd was taken aside and told chat lhe proposed
candidate was o. IT on0post. Thcncelorth the can
ddate had no chance of receiving Boyls vote.
This game OF "Moncpohst-Sic 'cn" has been
going on fo- Il week past Jacobs was BOWED over
by 1t. and then Homer A. Nelson.
To-day Tmnmauy pushed forward Boyd in the
Senate upon its meeting for the ir>y time, TO de-
claim hi, arti-mJnopoly ideas. This was with the
purpose of posing before the Democratic voters Of
the State as uphollcrs Of principle rather than
seekers O, pqtronagc With sorrow the Tammany
senator, would vote against SENIOR Jacobs. the
caucps pominee for President pro ieMYQl4 .ol The
senate. not bccans, he was Tdcn Democrat, but
oy-ipu 70 his "monopoly" record. Hiding behind
an auti-mou9poly resolution introduced by Boyd,
the other Tammany Senators made violent attack
on Jacobs. ana proclaiued that they would not
vot, for him for President pro ic4pIt under any
circumstances. The Senate had no sooner met than
Bovd pres,nled his resolution, which is as follows:
