tor Murphy viii be at has Long Branch cot
tage next week and viii remain there
until the first week OF August. His former
coIIeag que, David b. Hill, viii be at Nor
mandie-b y-the-Sea, only few miles away.
There are no cordial political relations be
tween the two, and they may not see each
other often before AR. Murphy goes 10
Saratoga IN August.
The s. DRY OF the latest breach between
the two involves the court of appeals
jrdgeship, 10 he decided this fail. when d
successor 20 Chief Judge Charles Andrews
will be chosen Former Senator Eth and
Senator Plat had practically seree,i uI.sl
a program for he court OF appeals judge
ship. but Senator Murphy promptly kicked
holes IL Il, and proved 10 AIR H1II that
the Democratic State conmlttee could not
be Controlled for any such bargain.
Now Mr.. Hnl is bending his energies 70
defeat Senator Murphy plan TO nom nate
Charles E. Patterson, OF Troy, for the
Court of Appeals bench, and has declared
foT Justice AIton 3. Parker, of Kingston,
who has three years to serve as a supreme
court justice. Senator Murphy hopes 10
see Richard Croker at Richfield Springs in
the last week OF August, and VIII make
it a point then to get the Tanlnlany Hall
support for Patterson.
Murphy waHts d net state caR8patsn and
thinks there is a chance TO win by mixing
local issues, state issues and the Chicago
platform, but he is additionally anxious 70
haze campaign 30 as to place Bill either
Inside or oatside the party lines on Tree sIl-
yer MGTphy's successor VIII he chosen Ia
January. 1893, and Hill is BOT wanted as
factor at that time. Murphy desires to
take control now, and sRce he defeated
HIS plan FOR 2 political compromise this
fall hot hattie is on.
Late in May Mayer Francis MaTloy, of
Troy, declared that when the Democratic
STAT Committee shetiId meet he would
name Charles Z. Patterson, OF Troy, for
the court OF appeals nominal en-. Col
Jesn F. GaynoT, treasurer Of the Pogo
cratic state committee, immediately de-
claTed Tor Justice Alton T. Parker Then
Mr.. Hill came 10 the front with the state
ment that Justice John Clinton Gray, Of
the court of appeals, who has four years
yet TO serve, could be nominated BY both
parties Tor cb ef judge, aud JlLat the n.
PubiicaRs would lose nothing by iIsis, as
not only would a State campaign lie
avoided, but Gov. Black would have the
appointment of Judge GJay's successor
This seemed to De satisfactory auarouRd
for the time being. The Republicans found
Trey could have GOV Black appoint Justice
William A Werner, of the seventh judicial
district, to succeed Judge Gray, and then
they could name another man in Rochester
for the term OF Judge Werner, which
does not expire until 1908
Senator Murphy was not consulted, nor
was he asleep while the negotiations were
going on. He pointed out TO members OF
the Democratic State committee that HIn
was abandoning a State campaign simply
to keep under cover for year. He told
the silver men on the committee that
many assembly districts would he lost by
this.
HI got in communication with Norman
E. Mack of Buffalo and other ardent Bry-
antics, and last week he had Hills plan
surely beaten. Then Hill called off his
agreement with Senator PIatt Now Hin
is bending his energies to the defeat OF
Patterson rs the Democratic nominee, and
h. hopes that by September he Will con
t7ol the State committee and nominate
Parker.
