KILKENNY HkRM0NY.
That Is the Kind that Prevails Among
New York Democrats.


Not since the traditional eats of ALI
kenny were hung across Il line by their
tails has there been such an amusing
harmony of subdued discord as is heard
in New York. now that Judge ID. Cady
Herrick has been nominated by the Dem
ocrats for governor Judge Parker want
ed Edward NJ. Shepard, or District At
torney Jerome nominated for governor IN
order to galyanize nls campaign INTO 'he
semblance of life.
David B. Hill wanted John Il. Stanch-
field. because Stanchfeld best represent
ed the organization outside OF New 1ork
City. to which Mr.. Hill owes his ascend
ancy in the State Democracy. Mr.. Hlll
had no use for Herrick, who, as Demo-
cratic boss of Albany County, has been
a thorn in his side for years. But, 1t
is said, he accepted Herriek and put
him in nomination on the principle of
the salesman who sold coat marked
SIS for $40. on doubtful credit, because
he would lose less if the bill was never
paid. Hill will lose less in Herrick's
| defeat than if he had succeeded in noml-
mating his friend Stanchheld.
Senator Patrick II. McCarren, the
| Brooklyn boss, to whom Judge Parker
owes his nomination, wanted Comptrol-
Ter Grout nominated, and for time he
had Mr.. Hills ostensible support for
| Grout. Judge Parker and Hill went back
on McCarren; the former to placate
| Charles f. Murphy and Tammany, and
the latter because he couldn't help him
self.
Tammany accepted Herrick because it
was willing to accept anybody who stood
| for the discontinue of Boss McCarfen.
! As a tomahawk in the hands of Charles
f. Murphy with which to dispatch Nc
Carren, d. Cady Herrick would serve
Tammany much better than either Shep-
| ard or Jerome.
| Besides, did not Judge Herrick's career
| on the bench present sterling claims on
| the admiration and necessities of Tam
many? His abuse of his judicial posi-
ton to the political exigencies in Albany
l.; along the line of what Tammany con-
siders the higher walks of politics. More
over, has he not practically pardoned an
official blackmaiier and protector of dis
orderly houses by imposing paltry fine
of $1,000 on the notorious police Captain
| Diamond pa stroke of judicial leniency
| toward corruption i'll New York City Pc
| culiarly attractive to Tammany. If -Ie
| WOulu 50 ACT as Juuge, Wnal proulSieS
of clemency to good men, might he not
| perform as governor? SO Tammany drop
ped Mayor Mcclellan and swallowed
| Herrick and his record with genuine rel
ish and noisy gusto.
Not so, however, the Democratic press
of New York City. The WORLD takes
its medicine with evident nausea; the
TIMES turns Herrick's picture to the
wall and fixes its gaze on Judge Parker,
with the reflection that one honorable
nomination in four years is as far as the
| New York Democracy can be expected to
pander to the somewhat blunted moral
sentiment of its constituency. The
| EVENING POST openly repudiates
| Herrick, saying that a proper regard for
its own reputation forbds giving him
! the negative support of silence.
| From this brief resume it may be
| gathered that the elements for barmo-
NOUS Democratic campaign in New York
are all that could be desired-from a
Republican point of view
