 With the Democratic organization of |e five boroughs of New York city under 8 control. and backed by the democratic achines in Erie. Rensselaer,, Clinton, All my and probably several other counties the interior, Charles F. Murphy stands lady to grasp the domination of the mocratic party in New York State.

Never has Tammany had such ar viting prospect spread before 1t Mir. Murphy, his closest friends declare Is no intention of abandoning his con- test of Brooklyn, a performance which lipses any of which his predecessors puld boast. He will set up his own lieu nant there. probably Senator McCarren hd will aid him with patronage and in her ways as may be necessary.
 He may deem 1t prudent. should he suc- led in deposing of Hill, to confer the ti- of State leader on some upstate dem- rat, such as Judge D. Cady Herrick, of bany; Smith M Weed, of Plattsburg,

 selects for this post will be helpless ithout the votes of New York City, and r. Murphy will therefore wield the bwer.
 MT. Murphy is not now discussing his ans for the future. but he Is forming his mbinations and laying the groundwork what Is to come.
