exhibited his wares to Judge Parker,
X and. merchantlike, named his price of

though the figures of the vender seem
8 high to many Judge Parker may adj
s. wise that they be purchased.

& the executive committee.
80 16s5 Mr.. Murphy, while not committed
& to Mayor George b. Mcclellan as the
& Democratic party's nominee for the
governorship this fall, must be per-
mitted to designate the candidate.
This condition is granted, and the
. Tammany leaders decision depends
I. on a few events that are to be discuss
n ed and settled later.
Cord Meyer. Jr., is unsatisfactory to
~ Mr. Murphy as chairman of the State
n committe, and MIR. Murphy would
s. have him displaced if possible. Mr..
Fl Murphy would not consider seriously
Mr.. Meyers name for the gubernato-
rial chair.

~ These Tammany wares We're eXhib-
sited to Judge Parker, and the pur-
chase price named, under conditions
remarkable even for the game of pol
ssitics. All around the seller and pros
pective purchaser were men who rep
resented persons and factions With
in few feet Of the two main figures
were David 3. Hill, August Belmont,
Perry Belmont and the members Of
the National committee. with their
newly elected chairman, Thomas Tag
their head.
Opponents of David B. Hill were
mot few and he was discussed in
swhisperings as much as any other in
dividua1 here. So, too. he was par
ticulariy prominent as being at the
same time the best known man per-
sonaIly in the Parker political house
hold and at the same time the one
person who communed with himself
the greater part of the time while
here
Charles F. Murphy shared the hon
8ors of the day with the Presidential
candidate, for all of the visitors seem
ed anxious to meet Tamnlany's lead
8er and talk with him. One might have
thought that Mr.. Murphy was assist
ing Judge Parker at the reception. |
One would never have believed for a
moment but that there had always
been the 5best@of feeling and good fell
}lowship between Mr.. Hill and Mr..
Murphy when they greeted each 9th
ser on Judge Parkers veranda.
Both men caught each others eye |

Hello, Murphy; how do you do?''
With these greetings the two men re-
hold of each others hand
and returned to resume their inter-
rupted conversation
Mr. Murphy Arrives First.

two hours before the members of the
National committee. He got here at
fifteen minutes after twelve O'Clock,
having with him as companions Judge

Conway, of Plattsburg. On the trip
up former Corporation Cousel John

that was handed to him at New
burg.
sss It soon appeared that Mr.. Murphy
was to have come here yesterday, but
