MIR. Murphy and Mr.. Sheehan that they must
retire from their places on the State and the
National committees and must conine their

Mugwump ticket.
We rather thought Mr.. Cochran was prom

Murphy and Croker and Shechan would TRY
IN fuse with Grace and Fairchild and the
Anti -Snappers. We were fearful lest he had
agreed to fuse without first making 'Sure OF a

was that he and his friends would come back

Mr.. Murphy will gracefully cut off his own

Mr.. Croker and Mr.. Cochran will offer to de-

Coudert. All this will make an edifying spec

is plainly necessary. The "cvil spirits" must

confirmed. Wherefore we extend to the I'M
