NO RECEPTION TO SENATOR MURPHY.
IIo DecIlued the Hospitality or the Manhat.
tan Club-Why

With the departure OF Senator Edward MUIR

came out last night which may not be uninter-
esting Tho Manhattan Club. the swallow-ta
organization OF the Democracy since 1864. has
entertained Governors. Presidents Vice. Pres-
dents. and the few Democratic Senators that
the Empire State has had in those years.
Everybody knows of the reception given to
Grover Cleveland when he was elected Gov
ernor. aud Of tho reception to Senator Hill
when he was made the senior Senator OF the
State. after his tremendous fight to gain for
the democrats OF the State their proper rec
ognition.
President Fredeaick r. Coudert was n little
late in getting to that reception that evening.
but no harm was done. and everybody was
happy. Immediately after the election OF Ed
ward Murphy Jr.. rs the Junior Senator OF the
State the Board OF Governors adopted a reso-
luton. In conformity with custom. authorizing
public reception to Senator Murphy. Assist
ant District Attorney Henry ID. Macdonald
was one OF those interested in presenting the
resolution to the other Governors. These
resolutions were adopted in opposition to the
views OF the President and tho Secretary OF
the club The reception has never been given.
Why? Because Mr.. Murphy declared to his
friends that he would not accept any half
hearted hospitality. This subject WAS called
10 the attention Of Mr.. Murphy as he passed
through New York for Washington. He then
reiterated to his friends that he had declined
to accept the hospitality ofthe Manhattan Club

fractional lots to facilitate tho business OF ther
fellow members
Although the stock market has rallied
sharply from the lowest prices. there are no
indications that recent actual buyers OF stocks
are disposed to part with them. In other words.
the profit does not tempt them. 1t lie
argued by some that fresh impetus
to the Investment buying has been i'm
parted by the action OF the banks in
declining to pay out any large sums OF
money to their depositors Being unable to
get their balances in cash. depositors have in
some cases that are known nut their money
into securities upon which they can realize
readily IL they wish to do so. Now that
tho short interest in tho stock market
has been considerably reduced. it ia
generally expected that tho leading bears will
endeavor TO force prices back again to tho low
level OF tho week before last. But rs the
liquidation upon large scale has run its
course. further efforts to depress prices will.
in the opinion Of some of the best judges OF the
market, simply result in forcing stocks out OF
the street.
