MEANS BRYAN'S CONTROL.
TAMMANY MEN THINK SO.
Murphy Rejoices That McCarren
Vii Be Wiped Ont of Politics.

Tammany took IL pretty well, Considering"
Charles F. Murphy guarded the interests of his
district leaders that they lost nothing bets.
On Saturday. when the district estimates were
turned in. he refused to give out any figures for
publication. saying that he didn't want the up
State Republicans TO know how great plurality
they would have to overcome to win. The esti-
mates showed a plurality for Parker of only 50OtD
Mr.. Murphy passed the tip around, and his friends
who had bet Parker Immediately out
and bet on Higgins, odds being 10 l on Her
rick at the time. BY betting on Higgins they
made considerable money.
A noteworthy thing about the gathering at Tam
many Hall last night the consensus of opinion
that William j. Bryan is the leader OF
the national Democracy and that the Democracy,
as a whole lacks just much of being safe and
sane" as ever. On every hand the opinion
expressed that Bryan would Immediately regain
control of the SITUATION.
The Consolation prizes picked up by Tammany
from the general wreckage follows:
The election Of Victor ]. Bowling Supreme
Court justice and Of Joseph l. Green justice
OF the City Court Then there several things
OF a negative sort that mean much to Tanmany
organization Prominent among them were
the downfall of McCarren in Kings the undoing
OF August Belmont. Delaney Nicoll William F.
Sheehan, David B. Hill and D. Cady Herrick. The
friends OF Charles F. Murphy expect that he will
dominate the next State convention. and, there is
little doubt that TWO years hence Mayor Mcclellan
will be nominated for Governor. II he should
receive the nomination and be elected, he would
be the logical candidate Of the conservatives for
President four years hence That is good way
ahead but II is simple and attractive programme
and that Mr.. Murphy has his hecrt on
McCarren will be ground 10 pieces at the next city
convention. and Tammany control will be extended
TO Brooklyn as fast as prudence warrants. There
is joy in Tammany Hall over the humiliation OF
David B, Hill. Tammany prepared TO agree
with Mr.. Hill that he will retire from politics
before January l.
After IT became apparent that Of Repub-
licen Croton Dam had burst, covering the Parker
nearly out of sight Mr. Murphy handed out
the following statement:
OF course, I very much surprised at the
suit ! do not attempt to account for IT. What;
the party can then deal with II.
sincerely regret the defeat of Judge Parker. He
can be said for Judge Herrck and his associates on
choice Of the Democracy and their defeat is to be
regretted more for the sake OF the country and the
party than for the candidates individually.
