Leader Charles +. Murphy Of Tammany
Hall issued statement yesterday which
will be interesting reading for Democrats,
Republicans and Populists, and which re-
oeived very general commentator last
night from Democrats and from Republi-
cans who have deprecated the policy OF
Governor Chairman Odell and his satellites
in the upstate districts In getting up a
| Populist State ticket as an annex to the
| Odell, Higgins & Co., grocery establish
mept. 1t seems that some OF Tom Watson g
| Populists wanted to indorse some OF the
Democratic candidates for Congress in
New York city, but Mr.. Murphy has put
his veto on any such proposition. When
the matter was called to Mr.. Murphy &
attention he said:
you know, OF course, and all men know,
that what there is Of the Populist move
ment in the State is but Republican
adjunct poor. feeble effort to hoodwink
| decent voters in a useless trick to draw
votes away from the Democratic ticket.
There can be no compromise by any DEM
ocrat with such Republican orookedness.
Democrats must be Democrats. There
must be no concession on the part Of any
Democrat to any interest which does not
| heartily make for the election OF Judge
Parker, for the prime moving thought
| in this canvass must be the head of the ma
tional Democratic ticket and not any in
| dividual local candidates. No true Demo-
| cratic nominee will seek advantage for
| himself; rather he should make sacrifices
for the head of the ticket and the ticket as
| a whole.
"In this canvass it must be Parker. first,
and all the while. There is only one emblem
| under which Democratic nominee should
go on the ballot, and that is under the star
and a cross within the circle under the str
is the only way for Democrats to cast their
votes"
Asked if the move to have the regular
candidates refuse a Populist nomination
or Endorsement was directed against any
particular person, Mr.. Murphy said;
1T is not. The idea Is not to hurt any
body, but TO help Judge Parker"
How will it affect Mr., Hearst7"
Il don't know anything about that l
don't see that here is any difference between
MIR. Hearst, Mr.. Towne, Mr.. Sulzer or Mr..
Baker. who; | understand, are all asked to
do you think that any Of the regular
candidates will decline to acquiesce in this
phase of the natter"
II don't think it will come to such pass.
/ do think, however, that any man who
accepts the nomination of the Populists
should at once get of the Democratic ticket,
for he must either be Democrat or Re-
publican. Populists in this State are but
incorporating Republicans.
Democrats must be Democrats, and
nothing else. The regular organization
does not recognize anything but real De-
mocracy."
The letter sent to the district leaders.
and which called forth Mr. Murphy's re-
marks on this subject. follows:
am directed by Mr.. Murphy to ,communi-
cate with you and advise you to ignore any
offers that may be made to induce you to put
the names of your local candidates In the
Peoples Party column on the ticket He
also suggests that you connect with your
candidate for Assembly on this subject. Mr.
Murphy desires me TO add that he hopes you
will give this matter your close attention
and see that the names of TammaDy Hall
candidates shall not appear In any column
other than that headed by the star.
Republicans were at the Fifth Avenue
Hotel last night who said that Governor
Chairman Odell had added another to his
many plumbers and that the Republicans
in the up State districts were nettled because
Of that independent Populist State ticket
which is annexed to the Higgins 4 Co.
ticket, and which stands for free silver
and an attack on the Supreme Court'of the
United States.
