A DANGEROUS PRINCIPLE.

Committee on Political Reform, said, speaking us an
individual: "The statement that prolessloni pou

whose banks enjoy accounts from the city, and tneir
devotion to the interests Of their stockholders FORBID
the uttersnce Of criticism for fear OF imperlng the
continuance Of existing relations. Other bank officers
occupy positions which prevent the declaration OF the
condemnation which Is freely made In private Among
stockholders similar considerations prevent free ex'
preston OF opinion. Still another class OF ndepen-
dent Democrats yesterday declined to discuss the
question because Of the tendency Of the fight against
the election Of Mr. Murphy as United States senator
from this State. That the anu-l Democrats have
net given up hope Of defeating Mr. Murphy Is md
e.,,ed by the refusal OF Of the leading men
