SOME POLITICAL MATTERS.
"Blinker" Murphy, a Visiting
Republican, Interviewed.
Meeting Today of the Democratic
Auxiliary Committee.
Mr.. Murphy, q San Francisco Republic
can, Talks shop-Spanish- Amerf-
can and French-Swiss Dem
ocrats Organize.


Mr.. "Blinker" Murphy, of San Fran
cisco, the political right bower OF
Martin Kelley and Philip Crimmins,
the Republican bosses who rule the
city and county of San Francisco with
absolute power, and who control the
state conventions of the Republican
party, is in the city for brief sojourn.
"Blinker" Murphy has become his
torical as we'll as romantic figure in
California politics. His celebrated re-
mark when he was asked who was on
top in San Francisco at the present
writing in Republican politics, "me,
Martin and PHIL" will be sufficient OF
itself to hand his name down to fame
and posterity, if he never does anything
else.
Mr.. Murphy is plain, everyday man,
who has risen since he entered politics.
Formerly he conveyed a hod, but this
has long ceased to be his occupation.
He is now Republican boss, and like
many of them he ia out for the-welI,
not his health. The gentleman is not at
all slow in giving you his opinion about
men and things in a most forcible lam
guage, even if the language is not classi.
CAL Yesterday he was very busy inter-
viewing Republican leadere here, but he
found time to express himself as follows
to HERALD representative
"De mugs down here got tings horri-
bly, mixed up. Dey remind me of lot
of jays. Dey better come up to Frisco
and let me, Martin and Phil glib 'em a
few pointers dat'ill come handy to EN-
fore dis lections over. Why dey make
me sick. De jay way dey let dat great
register contract shows dey amt any
good. Den look how dey run tings
when dey git caught monkeying wild de
records. De whole outfit ought to 90 of
and give some mug a show dat knows
how to do crooked tings widout gittin
turned up every time he turns around.
NOW in de city me, Martin and Phi
got de whole business down fine. You
guys down here don't ever hear about
any of US gittin caught. Weir toe
smooth for en-"
Then "Blinker" put on a look of dis
gust. mingled with sympathy, and con
tinued:
sYou see, we run de works up i,
Frisco. We got de long-haired guy
downed, and we're goin' to keep 'en
down. Dey amt any good to us. w
never use 'em in conventions, and de,
amt In it at de primaries. De boys ar
our people.
dis man Burns, dat made such bi,
play when we made dis guy MARKHAM
governor, amt in it any more, either
We got i'm foul, and all be can do nov
Is to make loud talk. We don't car
Let 'em roar."
And SO "Blinker" continued to civ
his views as to how things should be
he expressed deep regret that the part,
OF which be was an honored and re
spected leader should be in such sorr,
straits in Los Angeles county. His sor
row, was most pathetically manifested
for he said that he supposed "dat d.
mugs down here" would have to ''get i
in de neck" once before they woul,
catch on. Mr.. Murphy returned to Sal
Francisco last evening, after issuing
Jew orders to the local Republican ma
chine.
