The declination Of Judge Maynard OF INC
profrer of the nomination Chief Judge Of INC
Court of Appeals caused not the least surpiihs'
here. IL was never seriously cohslcercu nA Nv Wv
Democrats TO place Judge Maynard in nomination
But public sentiment was 10 strong uiat % s,nao nr
thing had 10 I've done 10 "vindicaic me man
| clothed with the erminc" in the part he Per-
formed in the stealing OF the Legislature ias
fall Therefore this letter Of Mr.. Murphy
was decided upon. with the understanding tha'
Judge Maynard should decline. David H. nm
who WAS The arch h-conspiratOr in last falls grea
crime against the people dictated the plan when
has hocn followed in rendering the nomination
10 Judge MAYNARD. Senator Hill did not want IL
sacrifice Judge Maynard. though. as "A genera
,hinr such little matters "a the sacrifice Of frcno
does not bother him much. But this year hi,
idea is retaliation for the course The Cleveland
men have pursued against him. and 1t was AZ
much 10 save his own reputation as that OF Judge
Mavnards that he had Murphy write the letter
and Judge MAYNARD decline. Senator Hill u
going to let the Cleveland men carry New-lork, II
fhey can without his support this fall He and
his friends are morally certain that this will b'
impossible A..
The only candidate now spoken Of by th'
Democrats is Judge Rnfus w. Peckham. Of this
city who will probably be placed in nomination
next week, when The Democratic State Committee
will meet in NcwYork.
