THE NEW YORK SENATORIAL FIGHT.

The "Hon." Edward Murphy. Tam
many candidate for United States Sem
ator IN New York, Is not going to be
elected without q fight. At a meeting
of the Cleveland and Stevenson Cam
paign Club of Brooklyn, held a few
nights ago. n resolution was adopted de-
claring that the election of q Senator not
in full political accord with the Presi-
dent-elcct Twill make it incumbent upon
the men of Syracuse to maintain a sep
arate organization and TO contest ia
future for the maintenance and success
full furtherance of the true principles of
Democracy" If Murphy is elected Sem
ator he will enter that body with any
thing but a clean bill of health, so far as
character is concerned. The Associated
Trades of New York city recently
adopted a protest against his election as
one calculated to injure the State. low
ering the standard OF our reputation and
bringing discredit upon us as a people,"
Murphy was denounced as an open cor
ru%ptionist and jobber, q professional
lOUu(lot, a Hitu WlIuOut dDlhlty, e4-
perience or good standing, who is
known as a ward politician and the asso-
ciate of roughs and toughs, prize-6ght-
ers and gamblers, who made his money
as a brewer and rum-seller. and gained
his prominence in State politics by his
accidental position of machine political
leadership. and who, if elected to the
United States Senate, will prove himself
incapable and incompetent to fill the po-
sition." After referring to some phases
of Murphy's political record. the pro.
test continues:
He attends pyize-fghts. cock-fghts, and
other illegal assemblies. and his choice of
associates is composed Of gamblers. race
horse touts. ballot-box stuff ers and other
disreputable peOplr. He ignored the
violation Of the election laws. such as bal
lot-box s%tutiing. repeating. false counting
and other methods of destroying the purity
of our elections in the cities OF Albany and
Troy. He is n professional lobbyist at
Albany. and If elected TO the United States
Senate he wonld give his vote and influence
TO the. whisky and railroad rings and
against the interest of the people.
Murphy, however, is the machine cam
didate. and the chances are he will be
elected. As Tammany was overruled
in the choice of a presidential candi date
it will doubtless insist on naming the
Senator, and Murphy is Tammany's
man.

AN OCCASION FOR A DECLARATION OF IN
DEPENDENCE.

The American citizen who cherishes
the idea that the United States is a Ia
ton whose government minds it's own
affairs and occupies q position where it
has a right to determine it's OWL internal
policy will be stirred with q feeling of
indignation when he reads tho statement
in a foreign dispatch to the effect that
the regulations of this government re-
garding immigration will form the sub
ject OF an international exchange of
ideas. md that the European powers
will probably make representations on
the subject to the government at Wash
ington." Other governments make their
own regulations regarding immigration;

In the published proceedings of the
American Federation of Labor, now in
session in Philadelphia. it is stated that
O resolution was reported ."favorably"
which reads as follows:
As the strike and boycott had failed as
weapons of organized labor. that q cam
paign of labor hould be inaugurated by
the federation, and the irresistible power
of the ballot should be arrayed in the
struggle for union supremacy.
1t does not appear that the above reso.
luton was adopted, but reported favor
ably from some committee. The fact.
however, that it is before the fedora
tion with a favorable recommendation
is evidence that the leaders of organized
labor are not satisfied with the results OF
a policy which has looked to strikes and
boycotts rs a last resort when agree
ment cannot be reached by conference
and arbitration. The change f~oreshad-
owed by the resolution is a radical de-
parture, and if the federation shall an
nounce this to be its policy in future the
outcome will be watched with interest.

THE sending out of such a ridiculous
report as that Senator Hill has been
offered the position of Secretary of State
In Mr.. Cleveland's Cabinet shows what
unsuitable persons sometimes get into
positions to use Geographic wires for
the press. But the reason assigned for
the alleged action Is one which could
have weight only with a hopeless inno-
rent, namely, that Senator Hill was Sc
lected because it has been the custom of
Presidents to select their most consplc-
uous opponent for that position. But
everything absurd may be expected
from correspondents who use the words

with the Cabinet of an American Presi-
dent.
