Troy. March 4 (SpecaD.--When United States
Senator Edward Murphy jr.. returns TO his duties
I'm Washington on Wednesday or Thursday it
IS not likely that ne will he in the most enviable
frame Of mind. This man, who is held re-
sponsible for making Rensselaer, County poiit-
ically one Of the v.lest slnlk-holes in the coun-
try. this time is likely to meet a well-deserved
defeat The rejolcngs Of the people of Lam
slngburg when they recently were released from
his control were mild in comparison with the
demonstration Of delight which will be made
by the citizens OF Troy should 1t happen that
Murphy and his following of thugs and heelers
are sent to the rear. The test of strength be-
tween Murphy on the one side and the decent
men Of this city on the other Will come on
Tuesday. at the election for Mayor. The Re
publicans and the better class Of the Democrats
have united in the nomination Of the present
Chief Magistrate OF the city. Mayor Whalan.
while the Murphy element has put forward a
man Of the boss's own selection. This is what
has called Mr. Murphy from his duties in Wash
friends would be routed by a handsome majority.
He had to come home to see if it was possible
IN any way TO accomplish the defeat OF the
better element and to continue in power the men
who know no law other than his orders
\ year ago. wher the squads OF Murphy heel
ers made the ass.u- upon the little village Of
Lansingburg and committed political crimes
second in Nervousness To none ever perpctratet
ir any other part Of the state. senator Murphy
Gid moi think II worth Will" personally to super
wise the attack but squared himself with his
followers by sending them telegram from
Washington complimcnting and congratulating
his friends NJ home on their glorious victory
IN Lanslngburg" Tbs time hOwever, Mr..
Murphy knows that the situation IS more serious.
II he should happen to lose control Of the city
nov the result would be a considerable falling
IF in the number OF votes which would be re-
turned this fall as cast for the Democratic cam
dldatc for Governor. Murphy IS looking ahead
to that time while the people Of this city. VINO
have suffered for Yeas under an oppression
perhaps more burdensome than thai imposed
by any other political boss In the country are
not troubling themselves about the Govcrnorshp
election. but are jumping at the present chance
70 free themselves from Murphy's domination
