but II seems to be understood at tho
Cleveland headquarters that either
German, Boies, Morrison, Palmer or
Russell will get necessary help from
the Tammany directors to encourage
their supporters to continue the fight.
Neither Mr.. German himself MOI any
OF his closest friends will admit for a
moment that he is a candidate, but the
fact remains that about the corridors OF
the Palmer House and the Grand Pa
ciflc to-day Germans name was being
discussed on every hand. So much SO,
indeed, that in some quarters a spirit OF
opposition was aroused and the sena-
tors position on the tariff was made
the subject Of several acrimonious and
heated debates. 70
NEW YORK MAY CONVENTION DELEGATES.
Tho delegates from the Syracuse con.
vention wero good deal stirred up to-
day over the Murphy manifesto, and a
number OF them were prepared with
responses TO it, designed to counteract
the effect and to show that Cleveland
was not only the strongest man in the
Democratic party in Now York, but
that he could carry the state and would
get large numbers OF independent and
Republican votes which no other Demo-
crat could get. a number OF the ANTI
snap" delegates came in on to-day's
trains.
Among them was Edward B. Whit
ney, OF Brooklyn Mr.. Whitney, on be-
ing shown the interview of yesterday
with Edward Murphy, jr., did not hesi-
tate to freely express his opinion. He
said. "Mr. Murphy in his interview
seems desirous OF giving the impression
that the leaders in the May convention
movement have been in the habit OF op:
posing Democratic state tickets in New
York and particularly that Of 1901. AS
to this, Gun only say that Mi. Murphy
knows very well the fact 10 bo contrary
as can state from personal knowledge.
Last fall Mr.. Murphy and the state
committee were very anxious to make
the fact as prominent as possible that
Mr.. Fairchild and his friends were
warmly supporting Governor Flower
and the Democratic state and legislai
tive ticket. To that end the state com.
mitteo requested me to prepare an ad-
dress to the Democratic and Independ-
ent voters OF the state for publication.
| did prepare that pape- and secured
the signatures to it, and had several
interviews about it with the chairman
OF the Democratic campaign committee,
ut some OF which Mr.. Murphy was pres
ent. The address was published in
New York papers on October 26, 1891,
having been given out to the papers by
the Democratic state committee, with
the statement that it was one Of the
most important events OF the campaign.
"Among the signers were the follow
ing delegates from the Syracuse conven.
tion to Chicago: Charles S. Fairchild,
H. p. Boyesen, Edward 3. Whitney,
Fred W. Heinrichs, Edward NJ. shep.
ard, G. 1. Peabody, II. D. Woodward
and many others. Mr.. Murphy knows
very well that there were no better
workers for the Democratic party than
these men. Mr.. Murphy says that the
rank and flo OF the Democratic party
are prepared to vote against the most
popular Democrat in the country for
the presidency because they fear his
election would please the Syracuse dele
CATION. would simply say to this that
II Mr.. Murphy believes what he says, he
considers his own followers to be mug
wumps and not Democrats, and that his
interview is an insult o-tle regutat Be-
mocracy OF the state Of New York.
