cares to talk. The only members OF
the New York delegation who spent
New Years in Washington were John
Dewitt Warner and Representative
Bentley of the Twentv-third district;
Mr.. Greenieaf of Rochester. and Mr..
Rockwell OF Elmira. Neither Mr..
Greenle.f nor Mr. Rockwell could be
found. Mr.. Bentley, however, ex-
pressed himself in vigorous language
in opposition to the policy OF the ma

IF the organization forces the cleo
ton of Mr.. Murphy against the pro-
test of MIR. Cleveland and all the OPP
posing elements in the parry said
Mr.. Bentley, ''such action i likely to
prove seveye strain upon tie unity
of the democratic party in the state of
New York. / regard Mr.. Murphy a.
worthy and an ao.e man, hut party
interests are superior to the claim of
any individual, and party principles
should over>iia,iow party patronage.

proves the suggestion of BOurke Cock

is no doubt in his mind as to Mr..
Cockran's fitness and a. to his being
entirely satisfactory to Presidentelect
Cleveland "As between Mr.. Muir
ply and Mr.. Cochran" said the rep
resentative. There can be no CUES
ton as to who would best represent
New York. The success of our party
should and will depend on its accord
with popular convictions, and it is no
disparagement to Mr.. Murphy to say
that the Democracy of New York con-
siders Mr.. Cochran better fitted tor
the place. Each has been strong
partisan, and on the issue which has
divided our Democracy they have
stood together in opposition to a
majority Of the Democrats OF the State
but there the parallel ends. No one
who objects to Mr.. Cochran will deny
that his selection would be generally
admitted TO lie creditable one. He
represented the convictions of New
York on the silver question, and
throughout the country is respected
for qualities which Mr.. Murphy has
not disclosed and which the people of
New York should not he asked to
take for granted"
