MARCY'S SUCCESSOR IN THE SENATE
The applause which greeted Senator Murphy
was spontaneous and warm. 1t seemed to mean
that he personifed something dear to these peo-
pie. that he had their feelings and sentiments
and that he was cheered because he had also
the power to express and accomplish them.
Here. then. stood the embodiment of Democratic
aspirations, a leader of the host which controls
the government of New-York. 1t was interest
ing to look him over. His face is not unlike
that of William F. Howe. the well-known Grim
inal lawyer except that it is less intelligent
and much less strong. 1t is fat and heavy.
His hair is svergray and would be handsome
if 1t were not so coarse and straight. His figure
is tall and large and round. He made his first
money maxine beer, but his principal fortune
has come from the to his personal advan-
tage of political power. AS an Alderman in
Troy, as President of the Board of Aldermen,
as Mayor and as the boss he has trained little
conduits from the gas franchises. the electric
franchises. the street railroad franchises, the
bridge franchises. and pretty much everything
else into his own bank account 1t is literally true
to say that you can't get into Troy out of
1t. nor anywhere within it. YOU remain
there twenty -four hours without paying tribute
TO Edward Murphy. They tell queer stories
there Of his early days. stories about cockpts
and other things. They say he knows great
many people who have been in State prison,
and that he doesn't throw il UP at them. And
now. in the year of grace 1898. and of our indie
pendence the 117th. this gentleman with his
corpulency and his franchises sits in the seat
where Marcy sat- sits in the seat of Wright and
Seward. of Conkling and Evarts. 1t seems
strange when you look at him.
Mr.. LOCKWOOD AS A PROPHET.
And yet these people cheered him wildly
and really he must be Representatives

Conquering Hero" music that Grant said al
ways made him tremble, but it made Mr. Muir
ply smile. When it had done he called the con-
vention to order and said briefly that the state
Committee had unanimously directed him to
nominate the Hon. Daniel Lockwood. of Erie,
to be temporary chairman. The convention APP
proved the nomination OF Mr.. Lockwood, as
with equal enthusiasm il would have the
nomination of John Doe or Richard Doe. and
Mr. Lockwood came forward and made a
speech. lie began by saying that he had
nothing much to say. which proved to be en-
tirely true. He attributed it to the crcum
stance that he had only just been informed
that he was 10 have the distinguished honor o.
presiding over their temporary organization
certainly a curious fact. since it was known
Yesterday afternoon AMI printed in all the
morning papers to-day. There was one
striking statement in Mr. Lockwoods remarks.
He said that the Democratic party was
pledged to repeal the Silver Purchase act
ard that only few days more would elapse
before the Unconditional Repeal bill would pass
the Senate and the pledge be redeemed There
is evidently nothing the matter with Mr.. Lock
woods nerve. He is as reckless of prophecy

Daniel. while Lockwood has no one but poor
Mr.. Voorhees, 10 fall back on
NAMES THAT WERE APPLAuDED.
Mr.. Lockwood congratulated the convention
on the opportunity il had to meet in the grand
new convention hall so literally provided by
the citizens Of Saratoga Springs The country,
said he, is 10 be congratulated that we nave

When Mr.. Lockwood had done the roll was
called and a further illustration OF the ldeds
of Democracy will be found in an enumeration
Of the names which were applauded as the cieIh
called them off. They were these: foper' l.
