| stirred up to-day over the Murphy mani
| fes;o. and a number of them were
prepared with responses TO u, designed
/ TO cOuuteract its effect, and to show
| that Cleveland was not only the
| strongest man IN the Democratic party IN
| New York. but that he can carry the state
! and would get large numbers OF lnde-
| pendent and Republican votes, which no
| other Democrat could get. 4 number Of
| anti-snap delegates came III on TO-DAY, ;
1 trains Among thom was Edward Is.
| Whitney. of Brooklyn. Mr.. Whitney, on

Mr.. Murphy in his interview seems
] desirous OF giving the impression that the
| leaders IN the convention movement
| have been IN TIE habit of opposing the
| Democratic State tickets IN New York, and
| particularly that of 1891. As 10 THIS can
| only say that Mr.. Murphy knows very well
| tho fact TO the contrary, as | can state
from personal knowledge.
