MISSIONER PHILIPS.

The members Of the Republican organization have
the fear In their heart that Governor Black VIII
not call upon the Legislature in extra session 20
make amendment to the Election Law that will
do away with the present Police Board and re-
taliate upon Mayor Van Wyck for his summary
action In removing the two Republican Commits
sioners and Chief McCullagh They showed their
hand plainly in article printed yesterday, which
such palpable attempt 10 scare the Governor
that every one laughed.
The article in question dec AIRED that Democrats
were seriously considering the nomination OF Ed
ward Murphy of Troy. for Governor. and that in
the event OF securing the Legislature Richard
Croker, OF New-York and London would be named
for the United States Senate. The article
mapped impress Governor Black with the
idea that II something not done to restore
Plat Republicans the Police Board. Senator
Murphy and Mr.. Croker. controlling the election
machinery here. would both be out FOR Offices and
that he would be overcome. The Governor is be-
lleved by organization men to desire ronomina-
ton TO go 10 the Senate and this report
spread 10 try 10 bluff him into calling an extra
session for tho legislation which tho Organization
wishes. Tho story thoroughly discredited.
Az was set forth In The Tribune yesterday there
is likely to be a strong fight between ex-senator
Hill and the Croker Murphy Grant faction for con-
troll Of the State Committee and the state Con-
yention There is likelihood Of an early conyen-
ton and Mr. Croker IS too busy trying to defeat
the plans OF the ex-senator 10 make canvass
for any office yet. Mr.. Croker. 50 the politicians
think. secured control OF the election mach merry
Ia Tho summary way In which he did. Ia order to
the city he wishes this fall. II IS
open fight yet between the opposing forces in
the Democratic party Elliott Danforth, chairman
of the Democratic State Committee, is expected
here to-day. and he will probably announce when
he will call the State Committee together
