KILKENNY HARMONY.
That IL the Kind that Prevails Amoug
New York DE m ocra

hat IL the Kind that Prevails Amoug
New rork Democrats.
Not since the traditional cats OF Kill
kenny were hung across u line by their
tails has there been such an accusing
harmony OF subduri discor,l MS Is heard
IN New York, now that Judge -. Cady
Hcrrick has been nominated by the Dem
ocrnts for governor. Judge Parker want
ed Edward NJ. Shepard, or District At
torney Jerome nominated for governor In
order 10 gnlvanize his campaign into the
scmblance Of life.
David II. Hill wanted John u. Stanch-
field, because S~tanclitcld best represents.
cd the organization outside of New York
City. to which Mr.. Hill owes his ascend
ancy in the state Democracy. Mr.. Hill
had no use for lIerrick. who. rs Demo
cratic boss OF Albany County. mas hecn
n thorn in his side for years. But. it
IL said, he accepted Herrici; md put
him in nomination on the principle OF
the salesman who sold n coat marked
SIS for $40, on doubtful credit. because
he would lose less il tho bill was never
paid. Hill will lose less in Hcrrick's
defeat than II he had succeeded In nomi-
mating his friend Stanchiehl.
Senator Patrick II. McCarren. tho
Brooklyn boss, to whom Judge Parker
owes his nomination. wantel ComVtr0l-
Ter Grout nominated. md for a tim. he
had Mr.. Hills ostensible support for
Grout. Judge Parker aud Hill went back
on McCarren; the former to plasate
Charles +. Murphy and Tan,many. aud
the latter because he couldn't help him
self.
Tammany accepted Herrick because Il
was willing to accept anybody who stood
for the discontinue OF Boss McCarrcn.
AS n omaha k IN the hands uf Charles
+. Murphy with which to dispatch Nc
Carren, ID. Cady lIcrrick would serve
Tammany much better than either Shcp-
ard or jerome.
Besides. did not Judge Herr:ck's career
IN tho bench present sterling claims on
the admiration aud necessities of Tam
many? His abuse Of his jul,cial posi-.
ton to the political exlgencies in Albany
IL along the line OF what Tainmany con-
siders the higher walk. Of politics. More
over, has he not practically pardoned an
official b~lackmailer and protector OF dis.
orderly houses by imposing a paltry fino
OF $1,000 on the notorious police Captain
piamopd?-a stroke OF judicial leniency
toward corruption in New York City pe-
culiarly attractive to Tatnnany. IL 10
would 80 act as judge, what prodisics
OF clemency to good men" might lie not
perform as g~ovcrnor?'So Tammany drop
ped Mayor Mcclellan aud swallowed
Herrick and his record with genuine rel.
ish and noisy gusto.
Not 40, however, the Democratic press
OF New York City. The WORLD takes
its medicine with evident nausea; the
TIMES turns Herrick's picture Ia tho
wall and fixes its gaze ON Judge Parker,
with the reflection that ono honorable
nomination In four years Is 40 far a. the
New York democracy can he expected to
pander to the somewhat blunted moral
sentiment OF its constituency. The
EVENING POST openly r~epudiates
Herrick. saying that a proper regard for
its own reputation forbids giving him
the negative support OF silence.
From this brief resume 1t may be
gathered that the elements for a harmo-
NOUS Democratic campaign In New York
are all that could be desired-from :
Republican point Of view.
