OF THE ELECT.

The efforts Of some of our Democratic friends
TO lose Murphy and 1IcCarren are somewhat
pathetic. The quarrels Of the two leaders, they
rightly see, tend 10 bring the whole party into
disrepute and they are doing their best TO show,
as THE Evening POST says that Murphy and
"McCarren trail IN the procession. making the
best Of what is TO them a dlsagreeable neces-
"sty."
That may do for Murphy, who was an anti
Parker man, though as the boss of Tammany
Hall. without whose vote Judge Parkers cam
paign is perfectly hopeless from the beginning 1t
seems hardly accurate to call him the tail OF
the procession. As 10 McCarren. he is no.
trailer. He is the Hon. Patrick H. McCarren.
chairman OF the Democratic State Executive
Committee and manager Of Judge Parker's cam
paign In this State. He is no reluctant convert.
but an original Parker man. He made Judge
Parker's nomination possible. His devotion to
the EsOpus statesman was the occasion of the
break with Murphy and the present scandal
from which respectable Democrats are trying
10 run away. 1t is not fair to him to say that
he is one of those who are for Parker mot be-
cause he loves them or because they love him"
1t Is we'll enough now to represent the forces
behind Judge Parker as the Democrats and in
dependents Of the better class but before the
nomination it these 'lewd fellows Of the
baser sort like McCarren who were behind
him.
McCarren made Judge Pa-kers nomination
