Senators Murphy and HILL OF Ne" 1ork'
Senator Murphey has been put
down by the country as
mere follower Of Hill. Such has, how
ever, been proven not to be the case Hill
voted against the tariff bill; Murhpy Voteo
for it.
But the cause of the row between them
now is not that Murphy is indignant with
Mr.. Hill for the two speeches he has maze
in defense of the president Tor that letter
to Mr. Wilson. Mr. Murphy takes no STOCK
in such political games as that. ana NJ
took occasion to tell Mr.. Hill so in very
plain language. Mr.. Hill has been endeav-
oring to persuade Mr.. Murphy to aid MN
in defeating the tariff bill. Mr. Murphy IS
not in love with the bill. but he is s'rlcl
party man. He will not only vote with MS
party all the way through. but he Is speak
ing out very plainly about the way MI
Hill is acting recently. In consequence ne
and Mr.. Hill are not very cordial just
now.
Mr. Irby is the only democrat who has
! been tied to Mr.. Hill. He refused to go
| into the caucus, either Tuesday or
Wednesday. Indeed, he Joined Senator
HILL and the two boilers went out to see
a baseball game.
Mr.. Irby votes with Mr.. Hill on mo-
lions calculated to complicate matters ana
embarrass the bin. but Will vote
with hts party on the final vote. re
only casts votes that he can DEFEND. lie
refuses to be bound by agreements. MT.
| Irby claims that he has not been treated
| right; the democratic leaders OF the sen
| ate have not properly recognized him ana
| the administration has completely ignored
| both him and the members OF the Louise
who are adherentS to T1lman. Inc ad-
minstration has given him nothing n me
| shape of offices, and, naturally, ne would
| like to retaliate. But Mr. lrby vii! vote
| for whatever the conference commit: 'e le-
| ports, If there ever be an agreement.
BY the way, Mr. Cleveland is yet bitter
| against the senate bill He believ ed the
| senators were bluffng when they said it
must be the senate bill or no bill.
Not Cordial Now.
| Since the Wilson letter and Germans
! speech, one no longer sees file OF senators
| about the white house each morning. MT
| Villas is now the only democratic senator
| who visits the white house, unless called
| by urgent business Then they transact
| their business with the president in the
| most formal and frigid manner There is'
! indeed, a wide breach between the presl-
I dent and the democratic senators.
! Gormnn's Visit to the White House
one of the most interesting incidents In
| connection with the fight between Presi-
| dent Cleveland and Senator German is the
story of the visit of the latter to the
| white house on Monday morning before he
! delivered that memorable and notable
| speech in the senate.
house for many months before. He would
| not have gone then, but for the fact that
| the president sent Secretary Lamont after
| him and then wrote him a note urging MIN
to call. When Mr.. German did call the
| president told him that he hoped he would
| bring about settlement of the tarlH prop
lem. He also requested the Marylander not
| to make the speech the newspapers Eau dill
| nounced he would make.
Mr.. German answered that he would not
| speak provided the president would write
| another letter withdrawing the retectloh5
| he had made upon the senate in his letter
| to Chat IMAM Wilson.
H,~,,o1-,,7d aaid he did not see how he
Then Mr.. German announced ne
would make his speech and Immediately
lef the white house for the senate chamber.
OF course the relations between the Mary
| land senator and the president are now
more strained than ever and It Is probable
that Mr.. German will take Mr.. Hills adj
vice and keep away from the white house.
Calls the s@nStc Bear Garden
Speaking of the relations between the
| president and the senate story Is tolc
| which we'll illustrates Mr.. Clevelands opin-
| ion of that body
| II is said to have occurred when a dele
cation from Colorado called upon the presi-
| dent and invited him to visit their state
| and ioin in a big bear nunt. The presl-
| dents response to the invitation was in this
language
IT have a bear hunt here at the capitol
| I'D on the hill that Is going to occupy all
the time that you gentlemen think / nave
! at my disposal. II | don't burst the gun
| and the ammunition doesn't run out by the
| time | am through with the sport maybe
! will accept your invitation. But L may De
| nermitted to say that you gentlemen 90 not
| know what a bear hunt Is. You had better
| stay here and join me.
| since Mr.. Germans speech there is some
| doubt as to which IS the bear-the president
| or the senate Each seems to be hunting
the other and the democratic party is the
| chief sufferer.
