FIGHT FOR MCCLELLAN.
Leader Murphy Gives His Orders to
Tammany Braves.

New York, June 30.-Charles +. Muir
ply, leader OF Tammany Hall, has or
dered a fight to be made all along the
line for the nomination Of Mayor Nc
Clellan as the Democratic candidate
for President at the st. Louis conven-
ton. After conferences with the anti
Parker leaders Mr. Murphy believes
that the situation is becoming so chao-
tic that Parker will fail of nomination
and the prize will be for the lucky can
didate whose friends put forth the most
strenuous efforts.
Despite the fact that Mr.. Murphy and
his friends are bound by the vote of
instructions adopted at the Albany
convention to vote for Judge Parker.
the full strength of Tammany, through
the use of money, argument and en-
ergy, will be exerted against the spirit
Of these instructions and in favor of
Tammany's own candidate. the Mayor.
II Mr.. Hill does not like this kind of
politics he can make the most of it.
As soon as the Tammany district
leaders get to st. Louis they will be
deployed as skirmishers, to visit the
various State headquarters and tell the
York want most of all to win the cleo
ton, but that it will be impossible to
win with Parker.
After smashing the Parker boom the
Tammany men have planned to have
the nomination of Mcclellan sprung
on the convention at the most oppor-
tune time. Mayor McC1ellan's name
will be placed before the convention by
one of the most eloquent orators of the
Southern States, and w. ROurke Cock
ran will second the nomination in
what may turn out to be the most
notable oratorical effort of Mr.. Cock
rams career. This is the plan favored
now by Murphy and his men. The Hill
men are expected to denOunce it as
the blacklist perfidy. but Murphy VIII
try to bring about McClellan's nominal
ton regardless of their protest.
Realizing the danger they are in, the
Parker boomers already are seriously
discussing the feasibility of adopting
resolution doing away with the two
thirds rule. This could be done by a
majority vote. 1t is conceded that Par
ker has more than one-half of the 1874
votes. hut it is equally certain that on
the first ballot he will not have 663. or
tyo-thirds. A majority vote would
abolish the obsolete twO-thirdS rule
In order to develop sentiment for Nc
Clollan the Tammany men have begun
to round up prominent Democrats who
are willing to declare for Mcclellan.

contention of the county Is that the In

the tribes in the reservation, but resi-

ject to taxation. The United States
holds that they are wards of the gov

The attempt to impose taxes on the
Indians was the cause of the threats

months ago.

never seen a shot fired, penned me-
mortal to the throne to prove tina.
China's defeats were due solely to her
having exchanged the methods of war
fare taught by the sages for neWfangied
