CLEVELAND AND MURPHY.

1T looks as il Mr.. Cleveland proposed as
sorting something like a Dictatorship over

IT is not presumed that Mr. Cleveland's
protest will have n practical effect.
The Murphy lines seem to be pretty intact.
Senator Hill annot allow himself to be
beaten. and Tammany is bound to exert its
power in behalf of its slated candidate.

If Tammany persists in supporting Mr..
Murphy it will not only defy decent public
sentiment in the city and State. and Tins
give it's opponents in the Democratic party
first-rate ground for starting an opposition.
but it will deprive itself completely of the
support OF the party outside the State.

The senatorial struggle in New York Is
something more than o contest of merely
local interest. 1t is q battle which may
have q destructive effect on the fortunes of
the Democracy in the immediate future,
TO both parties throughout the country.

IT now remains for Senate Hill to an

respect the views of Mr.. Cleveland. it is

MEASURED by the ordinary political
standards it is q political mistake for the
President-elect thus to NEEDLE in a SEN
asorial contest. But it is by such frank
and honest expressions hat Mr.. Cleveland
has gained much of his hold on the conf.
dence of the people. Mr.. Murphy is not fit
to be Senator. The election of such q man
would be a disgrace to the State of New
York. He is o nero managing politician
without any qualification for the Senate.
